but I don’t know if I can bear a whole game, much less a double header

Are you also a Husker fan?
I’ll be at the Marylebone to watch the game. Free food and stuff.

no, I really don't like the Huskers
it goes back to grad school days when Nebraska would come to Lawrence and put a whooping on the Jayhawks, and Dr. Tom would say “Well, we needed to kick that last field goal because you never know when a team might come back.” – right Tom 38-0 at half time. I also get cranky at all the press they get in this state, as if there is nothing else going on anywhere. I do pay attention and am glad that Bill C. is gone.

In The Old
Big 8 days I always favored the Huskers over the Sooners; the Jayhawks were, with rare exception, irrelevant and K-State was fun at times (Dickey, Herron, Grogan) but they rarely approached .500.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

when I started at KU, the football team was good and was
leading Oklahoma at half-time. Nolan Cromwell, the quarterback blew out his knee, and they stunk the rest of the year. One person doomed the team.

Well. I even kind of liked the Rams while Cromwell played there. Wasn’t his backup QB at KU Scott McMichaels?

3. J. Guillen, RF
4. B. Butler, DH
5. M. Teahen, 3B
6. R. Gload, 1B
7. A. Callaspo, 2B
8. J. Buck, C
9. M. Maier, CF

Banny: 4.88 FIP
Dice-K: 4.88 FIP

There are some things FIP
is going to miss. I don’t know if there’s any other pitcher in the league who can get awya with Dice-K’s pitching style this year, but he’s made it work well enough that it this point it’s ridiculous to expect him to regress to an ERA near his FIP. The guy has just been really “good at nibbling” this year and pretty lucky with men on base. The thing is, he has such good stuff that not all of that can be luck.

As I mentioned ad nauseum in the Bannister thread, FIP and PERA are going to miss some things. No stat’s perfect, that’s why we use eleventy billion.

I don't post as
much as most people on here, but i am one of the biggest Ross Gload haters. No bat….overrated defensively. You can always teach someone defense at 1B and they can become gold glovers. Pujols was average at best defensively when he came up and now look at him. I am so tired of Gload’s weak flairs and groundouts.
by powder blues on Sep 13, 2008 1:00 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Totally agree
from what I’ve watch of Billy at 1b has been good enough. He has great hands and similar range to Gload I just don’t understand this organization. We can blame Hillman all we want but if GMDM wanted Kila to play he could make it happen. TOTAL JOKE

just that Mitch at CF is preferable to Ross at 1B. Or in the Outfield. Or on the 40-man roster.

Any chance the Indians non-tender him? I know his bat has been really disappointing, but I can see him being a useful option as a 4th outfielder/platoon guy given his defense and “upside potential.”

Two things
1. I don’t think it’s Greinke’s call to intentionally walk Sizemore.
2. Greinke is probably throwing a 1-1 changeup in an attempt to get Jamey Carroll out. It didn’t work. That happens. It wasn’t necessarily a terrible choice.

I’m not betting on Olivo next year being an improvement over Buck. One of the reasons that Olivo has better numbers this year is because of him squirreling away a lot of ABs vs. lefties. Olivo’s older, has less plate discipline, and will probably cost more. I think letting him walk is the right thing to do.
Long term, we need a real catching prospect to replace these guys.

What arguments can possibly be made about his track record? Plenty, but I doubt you’re interested in anything logical. How about the fact that Buck was a league average catcher last year, is usually pretty solid defensively, and isn’t very expensive? Also, we have no catching depth in the organization beyond Pena who might be a solid backup. Do those count as arguments, or would you rather disregard all that and tell me I’m not calm?

the Indians are pouting and refusing to come out for another game

When you're robbed of victory
after having so clearly outplayed your opposition, that happens.

Are you really saying that the Indians outplayed the Royals in game 1?
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Well, I didn't see the game
but after reading this thread when I got here, I was sure we were losing.

Ah, I see
Yes, game threads often bear scant resemblance to the actual game.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

I had to defend my boy John Buck
that had something to do with the unpleasantness. It was his turn to get dumped on today (Teahen had too good a game for anyone to go after him).

And Trey's an idiot for not pinch-hitting
when we’re up by five

Heh
I really can’t get onboard with that. I don’t know why Smith and Gload play to begin with, so any “why are we not PHing?” arguments make me shrug. We are we playing them to begin with? That’s why we’re not PHing for them.

I'm glad I missed this game thread
…as I usually am.

I have to admit that often times the thread
is more entertaining than the game.

A crazed, visceral kind of entertainment
Not for the weak of heart or weak of stomach.

from emotional scars from that game.
Accidentally not thedude925 anymore. I do hate this new name.

Hey I was really happy with how we played
I just have a lot of time on my hands and no stomach for Buck bashing (especially in light of plausible alternatives).

That's me, I'll happily admit
but I’m also a realist. We give up Buck, and we replace him…with…oh…wait…maybe we shouldn’t.

We can just trade TPJ to Atlanta for Brian McCann.

that’s a bad idea, obviously.

Okay
we can trade Yimmy for Russell Martin, then.

shouldn't we keep Yimmy
now that Trey has a glimmer of an idea of what a LOOGY might be?

Miguel Olivo!
I see a lot of “non-tender Buck and keep Olivo” comments. How exactly are we going to make that happen? There’s a mutual option and Olivo said he doesn’t want to come back? Should we fight for a rule change back to the old reserve clause?
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

I appreciate you fighting the good fight

There was a train crash last night!
I can’t believe I used to get my paychecks from the same place as these turds.
