I predict that Steve will make a post while hilariously intoxicated, and BearSox will have a field day the minute one of our pitchers K's Swisher looking.

Thornton hitting third. Take that Larussa!

A montage set to the tune of He's a pirate? What a revelation. That being said, it does get the juices flowing.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 03:10 PM) KW calls Billy Beane Ring, ring, ring... Beane: Yes? KW: Hi Billy, I was wondering if Chris Denorfia is avail.... Beane: You insolent bastard!!! (click) So either that happened or Dewayne Wise is a better baseball player. (Calls Back) Beane: Who do you want? KW: Denorfia Beane: Give me Beckham, Allen, Poreda, and the Danks kid too. KW: But that sounds- Beane: I'm Billy F^&%#ing Beane (hangs up) KW: That man should never have written that book.

Haven't really listened to the Saloon since Mac left. I mostly listen to Waddle and Silvy in the morning and Boers and Bernstein in the afternoon.

QUOTE (scenario @ Mar 29, 2009 -> 11:39 AM) So, let's see. Birmingham's lineup is going to be... Unstoppable, is the word your looking for...

Can he play Center? I'm kidding. Looks like their will be much Matt Joycing in Detroit this year. Nah, wait he gone. Marcus Thames, ay? Not impressed unless it's going to be Dewayne Wise out their shagging his long fly balls.

Listening to the new Decemberists album, kinda liking the rock vibe.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 09:07 PM) Swisher sucks. He's had one really good year, but other than that, he hasn't been much better than decent, and last year he sucked balls. Perhaps there is a medium between last year and 07, but I'll still say good riddance. The guy is a bum. Not that I don’t enjoy your blind hatred of Nick Swisher, but perhaps you can give some proof that tells me he sucks. You’re relying way too much on what you saw last year, rather than the guy’s past performance

Jim Edmonds sure is looking good, right now...

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 07:58 PM) He just took time away from the game to get his head straight. He was so young when he got to the majors, and it really wore on him to be losing as much as he the royals have lost while he has been there. he didnt change anything about his pitching He did abandon his slow curve, he takes medication now, too.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 07:49 PM) This makes Darin Erstad look like a good move. Simply horrible. Maybe a miracle happens and Wise is useful. If not, I hope they figure it out quickly. Erstad at least had a track record of sustained success. Wise has the exact opposite.

QUOTE (That funky motion @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 07:15 PM) What does that mean? It means his mental state is affecting his pitching performance. I don’t think this is exactly like Greinke: Zach was just horribly depressed, and had to change his pitching/life style to cope, Willis has just let his poor performance shake his confidence to the core.

If I’m BA I "request" a trade, and see what happens. If Ozzie really doesn't like him, i'm sure KW will willing oblige. He's deserves another chance, and we're not giving him one.

It would of taken an arm like Russell, probably packaged with a low-impact guy like Broadway. Which i gladly would of given.

This does lend credence to the whole Ozzie hates BA story. Which sucks, because that one's way too prevalent amongst the more vocal BA fans.

QUOTE (scenario @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 06:24 PM) Jeff Cox in mid-season form I can see. (For those who can't see it, he sent Thome home on a play where he was dead to rights.) Do we still call that, "pulling a Cora?"

Swisher is almost certain to rebound. Wise is almost certain to do what Wise always does, Suck.

Is this all part of Lillibridge's insidous plan to start on opening day? You, know the one where he sucks all throughout spring, lucks into a roster spot, and then plays because of injury to the starting SS?

If Wise is really the best we got, and Marquez isn't even making the damn team then we should of kept Swish.

KW and Rick Hahn aren't idiots, right? Is this just a concession for Ozzie's sake, or do they have something up their sleeves?

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Mar 30, 2009 -> 02:00 PM) Wait? If Jerry is gone, who are we going to b**** about now??? Wise, Fields, Colon seem like the leading candidates. When Wise and Mcdougal are on the team, the only two options are Wise and Mcdougal.

This is truly a glorious day. Jerry Owens is now just a memory. Go be grindy and fast for some other team.

Weird, Lillibridge was pretty cool back when i was at Camel Back
