Game 132 Overflow Thread
I bet you didn't know that I, too, can blockquote from books! This one is from Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut, part of a conversation between the main character, Kilgore Trout, and the truck driver he is hitchhiking with:
"I can't tell if you're serious or not," said the driver.
"I won't know myself until I find out whether life is serious or not," said Trout. "It's dangerous, I know, and it can hurt a lot. That doesn't necessarily mean it's serious, too."
I love Vonnegut's work, though I always take it as a bad sign when I find myself identifying with one of his characters. Such as Trout in this particular instance.
Good game tonight. Party on.

lmao millwood is going to throw 85 pitches in 9 innings
this is jus awful
it he was striking guys out, i would accept this domination
or getting an inordinate number of ground balls
but this is just pure offensive incompetence

The “Buffy Goes to College” effect
How long till Chloe screws over Jimmy for a foursome with Lois, Lana, and Clarke (who will be thinking about Lex the whole time)?
Never watched it much, just a bit lately. It always seemed EMO to me. The early Buffy (well, the first two seasons, anyway) was reflexive enough to avoid that. Then Big Ideas took over.

Okay, I know things are bad and all
but if your memory’s so short you’ve already forgotten the play Aviles made to the plate and the catch Gathright made, maybe you need a break.

Haha... here we go. I the "battle for suck" thread oc started, there were some minor
verbal “fisticuffs” about a lot of those guys. Here’s what “some” are saying
Davis: good power, questionable eye. Good for Texas, for now
Hurley: potential, but flyball/HR issues
Don’t know much about Feldman and Arias
But Salty, Ramirez, and Teagarden all together and you’d have one hell of a catcher

Davis might end up playing alot of 3b
if he gets his K rates under control, think of an infield of Smoak, Kinsler, Andrus and Davis
by laxtonto on Aug 26, 2008 10:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I know Hosmer has a shitload of upside
but part of me really wanted the Royals to take Smoak.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Andrus’ hitting. I know he’s young for the league, but is he supposed to be " good hitter for a shortstop" or do they think he has power potential?

yeah i alluded to that on the Greinke thread,
by taking Hosmer over Smoak you got a great top end all potential bad ass GG 1B, but he wont make it up at best for 3 years…

Wish Alvarez had been available at 3
Best of both worlds, some people seemed to say. Could play 1st, 3rd, maybe the arm for the OF.
Some thought the Rays would go Posey, then Pirates Beckham…

might be better than Feliz….
Sitting at 94-05, tops at 97 with great control onthe fastball and bringing a nisce slider and change,,,

I'm sure the coach is yelling at him now
“You know who else thinks it’s cool to ‘walk’ to the plate? That’s right, Alex, "Entitled” Gordon. And look what happened to him. The only thing he’s good at is walking and extra-base hits? Do you really want to limit yourself like that? Look, here’s a DVD of Jose Guillen’s ABs from the season. There’s gong to be a quiz on it tomorrow. Hit the showers, roookie."

Ohh i did add something to the trade greinke thread
heres my question, if you don’t trade Greinek and he doesn’t resign wouldn’t that just stretch out your prospect window even further? Sometimes you got to lose real talent to get that rebuild started
by laxtonto on Aug 26, 2008 10:55 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Just depends
on 1) whether he’s open to extending in the offseason or next year and
2) what could be had in return. Most of us would trade anyoone for the right price. But that price would be pretty high for a young borderline ace with no injury issues like ProZack.

they showed a tiny bit of video and said that he got into it
with a fan who was “giving him the business” (Denny Matthews). Olivo went out to be peacemaker. I think they said that they essentially escorted him to right field

It sucks, the whole thing just sucks
I obviously don’t know the situation. Fans can do what they want, I guess. A little courtesy would be nice, and smart, and adult. But who knows? In any case, any player has to be smart enough to just ignore or pretend to ignore that stuff. If you don’t, the press is going to rip you, even if you’re hitting like crazy…
I wish he was hitting well. But he isn’t. Sounds like there were other teams interested. Like I’ve said, if another team could take on the whole salary, that’s another FA possibly in the market. Yeah, it would probably leave a whole, but that can be filled, certainly by 2010 if need be. Imagine getting BOTH Dunn and Furcal…
