Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Batista Official

Link first: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/mariners/

Terms still not included in this article. Batista was very clear that his age is not an issue. Well, at least it isn't an issue with him.

This is a pretty frightening rotation, and the bullpen backing them up is getting less attractive, too. I wish you all the best of luck.

Man...
if .450 doesn't smell like a real winner

Well looking on the bright side
(I know its shortsighted)

this signing does make us a better team.  Basically replaceing one of the two headed Baek/Woods hydra with Batista makes us a better team.  How much better is up to Batista and our infield defense.

Why?
Because they actually filled a roster spot with a body instead of using dirt to pitch the game.

Miguel Batista's intelligence
is going to make game threads a lot of fun this year.

YESSSSSSSSS BATISTA!!!!!

oh wait, you meant Miguel Batista....

That's a shame.  I thought we were gonna kick some serious ass this year.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought of
THE ANIMAL!

I can just imagine a brawl breaking out when we play the Angels, with Guillen beating Scocia with a bat and Batista powerbombing players left and right.

Wait...that's it!
Seems like we give everybody a nickname at one time or another, so that should be Batista's nickname.

The Animal!

Well then
it would stand to reason that the Angels would sign HHH.

by Gomez on Dec 11, 2006 10:17 PM PST up reply actions  

If memory serves
HHH was completely annihilated by Batista. One of the most one sided championship matches I have ever seen.

Well then
he's PERFECT for a bunch of trash talking jobbers like the Angels!

by Gomez on Dec 11, 2006 10:55 PM PST up reply actions  

woot
but i dont really c why we r doing this. Batista has never been "great" his best season was as a closer. (maybe 2001) but as of late he did pitch 2ooinnings.
Im not so sure i like the amount of hits he consistantly gives up.

by ZeZetheX on Dec 11, 2006 9:55 PM PST reply actions  

That's what being a ground ball pitcher is.
Willie Bloomquist and Mike Hargrove suck. Horacio Ramirez doesn't suck but is way worse than Soriano.

by Mariner John on Dec 11, 2006 9:57 PM PST up reply actions  

Yeah
they give up hits but the hits they give up are usually singles.

by Edgar for Pres on Dec 11, 2006 10:05 PM PST up reply actions  

that
have turned into runs.

by ZeZetheX on Dec 11, 2006 10:17 PM PST up reply actions  

No
singles don't turn into runs unless you give up a lot of singles.  However HRs turn into runs all the time, every time.

by Edgar for Pres on Dec 11, 2006 10:37 PM PST up reply actions  

look i know the 4 singles thing
but he has given up alot of runs in his career and his era reflects it.

by ZeZetheX on Dec 11, 2006 10:58 PM PST up reply actions  

Yeah he isn't that good
thats why nobody is excited about this move.

by Edgar for Pres on Dec 11, 2006 11:50 PM PST up reply actions  

Is it really so difficult
to type the words "see" or "are"?  Or get a spellchecker?

Or at least use Firefox 2.0's built in spellcheck.

Here here
Really, s and e are so close together on the keyboard. And you'll be surprised how people will suddenly start taking your comments more seriously.
