Haha, you're not alone. There's at least two of us b/c I left WSI too, but not b/c of being banned. I left b/c this board is like 50x better.

Me too.

I noticed that too, and that that was maybe the most impressive thing of any of his stats.

He's hitting .277 right now.

So, maybe I'm a little biased. lol

I wouldn't mind Counsell at all. He plays hard, and would be great off the bench.

That's a hard question to answer. I have no idea...

Agreed.

I really think we're fine with Crede at 3B. Unless a trade comes along with him in it that would "blow our socks off," I think Joe should stay at the hot corner. We have enough offense to suffice with him hitting the way he is. Plus, he has shown flashes of briliance on offense, so we all know he has it in him. So, he's had a down year offensely. Who cares? He's is not the reason we're playing bad. If we hadn't lost Frank and Maggs, we'd probably would be doing a lot better as a team (probably in 1st place), and I have a feeling that there'd be a lot less people upset with Crede than there are now. He's been very good defensively, and this team needs as many good defensive players as we can. Joe is one of the few very good defensive players on this team. Money spent of Koskie or Beltran or whoever at 3B would be better spent elsewhere, so a free agent isn't a good solution, imo. Anyway, I think we are and we will be fine with Crede at 3B, and we should be focusing on upgrading positions like relief pitching and finding a leadoff hitter, and guys that play baseball like it should be played.

Happy 16th BDay! Hope it's a good one!

I definitely agree with hoping we get those two. Don't know about Burba, though.

Congrats guys!

Happy BDay!!

I wanna be an orthodonsist when I'm older, so thanks for posting this. It gives me some good ideas about what to do if I ever started my own practice.

Can we please get a pin, mod?

Yeah, I agree that 23 isn't too old.

Very nicely done, Jas!

I love it!

Happy BDay, Minny! Hope it's a good one!
