we should trust them

by mrich on Jun 12, 2008 9:44 PM EDT   0 recs

did they just switch Choo and Francisco?
1) when is the last time two position players just switched like that?
2) Why no Gutz?

Manning speculating that they want to give each of them a little playing time in the opposite position.

by Jay on Jun 12, 2008 9:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

And now we know that Choo closes his eyes when he tries to catch a ball against the wall.

Mujica has Carroll’s back.

Eddie M. running away from circle of trust right now.

He’s trying out his new fork/slurve ball of death pitch.

You are now bordering on funny. Very close.

Just thought you’d like to know.

They’ve all come to my site :D

Really…we should all soak in the day that Jamey Carroll became a beast.

Andra Davis is a quality MLB. I don’t care what you say.

by gahnki on Jun 12, 2008 9:51 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

But Angela Davis plays much better SSLB.

"the most vehement Yankee-hating guy I know" - Jay

by mauichuck on Jun 12, 2008 9:53 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

if by “quality” you mean “slow”, then sure, I’m on board.

by mrich on Jun 12, 2008 9:53 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

No..some guy on a random Browns website said that he was going to mess up Chris because he insulted Andra Davis on his website.

Andra Davis is undeniably slow.

by gahnki on Jun 12, 2008 9:55 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Thanks gahn “Mr. Obvious” ki. Anyone is quality…we’re looking for elite.

I went to look up where Steve Stone is now and trying to keep from sobbing after learning he’s on radio for the White Sox.

South Euclid boy – went to Brush.

Shoot, I just posted this on the first game thread. Didn’t know Chuck already had it.

That Kent Mercker!

by Julie on Jun 12, 2008 9:51 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

It’s ok, it actually makes listening to sox games really entertaining. And you can always root against them (sometimes it seems like Stone actually is)

Rooney and Farmer together were a little too solipsistic for my tastes (“so i’m in church the other week, and father mcstuffnsuch is talking about golf…”) but Stone keeps Farmer more on topic. They’re very good together.

by mrich on Jun 12, 2008 9:51 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Farmer is good only when he’s off topic. The farther afield the better.

I really wish Grady wouldn’t do that in a 12-2 game…

BUT HE’S A BASEBALL PLAYER.

The ladies love it as much in a blowout as they do in a close game.

by gahnki on Jun 12, 2008 9:51 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Sometimes.

You’re only one lady. If we pared you up with another you’re “groupthink orthodoxy” takes over.

HEY JULIE. Grady diving for balls in blowouts: Hot or not?

Hard truth: Your eyes lie.

NOT HOT!

I find it sort of endearingly stupid, personally.

My cat the other day got his teeth stuck in a styrofoam peanut. It’s about up there with that. :D

Gives you a pretty good idea what kind of guys AngG would date.

by Jay on Jun 12, 2008 9:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

She can date Bertram, but he sheds.

by Julie on Jun 12, 2008 9:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

This is unfortunately true.

by AngG on Jun 12, 2008 9:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

You and your fan fiction.

This isn’t fan fiction. THIS IS A REAL LIFE QUESTION.

I’d just forgotten that I read that. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

I referenced it in the other thread. Everyone was too embarassed to reply and admit they’d read it.

by Voltaire on Jun 12, 2008 10:38 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That sentence has me wondering.

you’re joking right? he clearly hit him on purpose

by mrich on Jun 12, 2008 9:57 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

ah…i forgot about Carroll.

by xrickx on Jun 12, 2008 10:04 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I thought he did… because I thought Carroll was hit on purpose.

This is when you miss Kenny Lofton on the team. Pound for pound, best fighter in baseball.

Okay, hypothetical question for the group.

Grady Sizemore, young star, cover of SI, long-term contract … comes out of the closet.

What happens?

by Jay on Jun 12, 2008 9:56 PM EDT   0 recs

We all come out with him.

I immediately buy a Sizemore jersey.

i immediately scoop up a “mrs sizemore” jersey…

It is true, they could start making them in men’s sizes and sell a truckload.

Media gets excited, puts up a bunch of stories, tries extra extra hard to find controversial quotes.

Nobody cares, and it all blows over.

Wow, I would love to see it, but I wish it was someone more nationally recognized as great. Someone the non-baseball fan would think of a good baseball player.
