Around SBN: Has Kentucky Improved Since the Non-Conference Season?

Laffey Starting Tonight

by tobytobytoby on Jul 26, 2007 9:42 AM EDT Comment 37 comments

Starting for Buffalo that is. All of rumors seem to be much ado about nothing. Perhaps a trade fell through at the last minute or something will still take place today (assuming Cabrera was put on waivers Monday). Considering the price the Brewers paid in their trade, I can certainly see Shapiro passing on any potential trades this year.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

Yeah, it has all the signs of a trade that fell through.

My Photoshopping goes for naught. :(

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

I still can't get over "Cleveland Cherry". Great stuff, man.

Perhaps your Fausto Can can make the game recap...

Laffey's actually starting the 1pm game today. Doubleheader.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

Maybe he's going to pitch a little in that one, speed down I-90 to Cleveland and start tonight's game? Herman "Hi" Bell ain't got nothing on Laffey!

Of course, if you assume Clifton is on the hill tonight, you gotta be thinking this...

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

Oh, thanks.
So, you have to go and make them yourself? Is there a website that generates them?

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

I just Photoshopped that one myself, but apparently on this site it can do it for you.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

can I request some sort of a Mike Rouse photoshop for your next piece?

by ASP on Jul 26, 2007 11:27 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

If I (or anyone else) can come up with something creative, I'd be happy to use the Photoshop for any and all humorous Indian creations.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

I keep trying to come up with a good joke using the word "A-Rouse-d." And failing.

How about his face on the head of every member of the cast of Full House? "Full Rouse."

BTW, I think Mike Rouse has done a great job this year. We have a utility infielder that actually fields, and a pinch runner that actually runs. Frankly, I feel that's an improvement.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

I'm not sure I'm okay with the Mike Rouse version of Uncle Jesse.

I flashed back to Dukes of Hazzard rather than Full House when you said Uncle Jesse .. heh

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

All our childhood dreams die sometime, Ang. Jodie Sweetin turned out hotter than Candice Cameron. (I'll leave the Olsen twins out of this discussion.) Who saw that coming?

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

Val Bure married Candice Cameron. That has to be one of the random athlete/thespian marriages of all-time.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

Whining about how the utility infielder is hitting is the lowest form of baseball conversation.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

I was actually thinking a picture showcasing all of his baseball tools. Like a Tim the Toolman Taylor job.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

With the exception of Asdrubal and some recently promoted pitching, we've kind of tapped out the keg of high-level prospects. On one hand, that's what depth is for. On the other, it would be nice to see some of the guys in Akron bust out.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

It's not easy to have a bunch of good prospects in the high minors when half your starters are under 25.

Re: Laffey Starting Tonight

Laffey's gotten a lot of ground ball outs today and a few K's. Just made one mistake to the immortal Wiki Gonzalez, though he was squeezed on the 2-2 pitch. Even the pitch he knocked out was a decent pitch
