what's a bigger WTF decision

Podsednik as the leadoff DH, or Bloomquist/Brayan batting 1-2

Graduate with a B.S. from the Dayton Moore School of Stats Analysis

by BHWick on Aug 17, 2009 7:39 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Hmmmm....

Bloomquist batting #1 is worse than Podsednik, but Brayan hitting high up vs. LHP isn’t the end of the world.

Callaspo should be hitting 1 or 2 against LHP fasho every time

I very rarely

get that upset over batting order and lineups, but…. this lineup kind of makes me sick. Just keep thinking: it’s good against LHP, it’s good against LHP, it’s good against LHP.

Trey's Not Worried

About what happens when Ozzie brings in a RH reliever, because he expects him to throw a CG. Teahen does hit Buehrle well in a SSS.

so, would a place that used to be a car lot work as a drive-up/take-out place? (there’s actually two places where you can drive up and order from your car and eat it there on the street that I saw the “for lease” car lot on)

that would go over reeeal well with the authorities who approve those things. The place is right next to a neighborhood.

But you’d think that a reduction in new/used cars would lead to a reduction in the number of car lots

the way i heard it,

the writer/creator/director made an original make of this, and peter jackson found out about him, when he was set to make the Halo movie, that fell through and Jackson gave him like 10$ mil. atleast thats what my brother said, and he is a imdb.com fanatic, take it was a grain of salt though. its all hearsay honestly.

cormac McCarthy gets it right some times, the movie should be cool, i believe they have Guy Pierce lined up for the “father” role?

both good, you are in for some enjoyable reading.

i find myself going through phases of genres, like im stuck in some sci-fi right now, but i just finished some historical fiction before that. I envy your ability to read such different books at once.

well...

with baseball between the numbers Im reading each chapter like its an essay. So its been a long process. I probably should have read it much earlier. A lot of the concepts Ive already accepted before picking up the book, but I bought it on Amazon for like 3.75 with shipping

Mike Jacobs is the best pure power guy we’ve had in KC lately. It’s just that he’s not a good contact guy.
