You all heard the plan:

Go opposite field. You can’t win against offspeed pitching unless you hit everything opposite field.

Yeah know, I don't know what to make of the Terminator Series.

It’ll have about 2-3 good episodes in a row, then have one really really bad episode.Then it just repeats the cycle.

I couldn't stomach it myself.

Interesting idea, but I’ve yet to see an episode I could watch for more than three minutes without rolling my eyes and changing the channel.

Last years playoffs were much worse.

3 DS sweeps, with a fourth going just 4 games. A NLCS sweep and a WS sweep.

It might be one of the most unmemorable series ever IMO.

2005 was the worst WS ever

As much as it pains me to say it, I thought the 2000 World Series was great.

The best part is that game 6 was a blow out so it gave you time to anticipate an awesome game 7.

by BUCKETSinSB on Oct 15, 2008 6:21 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

He’s from New York, the Yankees have money, need a DH, and would like to stick it to Boston. Plus, he and Alex together…

by JI on Oct 15, 2008 6:46 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

But Manny creates a logjam in the OF

Obviously he’s the best, but they already have Damon, Matsui, Cabrera, Gardner, Nady, and that’s making the assumption that they don’t pick up Abreu’s option

Go Nova

by dbroncos31 on Oct 15, 2008 8:35 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Manny is the DH

No one in their right mind would project him as an outfielder over the length of that deal.

by JI on Oct 15, 2008 8:36 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, but that still keeps at least 2 of those OF on the bench.

And Posada might not be able to catch. IMO, they are best served by getting Tex and CC. So I really hope they get Manny, but to me the move would cause a roster problem

Go Nova

by dbroncos31 on Oct 15, 2008 8:41 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Oh I agree completely.

Plus the fact that they can stick it to Boston. I’m sure Hank is pushing for that, but it’s not a move I’d make

True.

And I guess I’m judging it based on the first two seasons, when it was much worse.

Just pick a team.

The NL may be the weaker league to some, but I enjoy the small game, the double switches, etc. I prefered when they didn’t have inter-league, so that way the only way I could see my too favorite teams play would be in a dream World Series. Dodgers vs Mariners would be west-coasttastic

Abridged History of LL Moderation

2003: Leone For Third founded- Jeff is sole moderator
Early 2004- Trent from Mariners Rumblings & Grumblings and Devin from ESPN board added as mods
Early 2005- L43 becomes LL, moderation stays the same
Since then in rough order, Gomez added, Trent dropped, Matthew/Graham added, Gomez/Devin dropped

actually I think Gomez was added after Matthew and Graham

because Matthew and Graham initially came as fill ins while Jeff was on vacation and then stuck around

Not at all

Steve Nelson, Trent and Deanna filled in for jeff during his eurotrip. Gomez was made a mod june of 07. Graham and Matthew became mods when Jeff finally realized that they were actually mods this febuary

This is mostly correct

But Trent wasn’t a fill-in, Trent had been around for a couple years

Right

Only when Matthew/Graham came around was there any shift in power- Jeff ran the show but Trent and Devin had authoring capabilities and used them and did occasionally modding. But it was always first and foremost Jeff’s blog

I wonder if msb is happy staying at USSM.

He’d make a good addition to LL. I’ve never seen him post here.

There's something horribly wrong with that comment

beyond the fact that MSB does post here occasionally.

I’ll let you figure out your error

But didn't Matthew and Graham have mod powers for longer than that?

They didn’t really do anything until then but I thought they still had power before that

You'd know better than I

Matthew/Graham was a damn good pickup then.

What happened with Gomez? His minor league wrap-ups were awesome.

Disagreements with the rest of the mods

but there’s no reason to get into any of that further here

This is quite informative, actually.

I found LL in late 2006, so I’m way late.

According to my userprofile, I've been here since 2008.

But I’m pretty sure that’s incorrect. There may have been an issue with the move to SBN or something.

Yes

If you have an assigned UID that means you were around before, which you do

Thanks, guys.

Now I’m trying to find my first comment to see how stupid it was.

I think I read for a year before commenting, though, so we’ll see . . .

by Teej on Oct 15, 2008 10:05 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I found that too, but I swear I was around before that.

I guess I just never commented.

Anyway, defending Adam Dunn seems totally trite nowadays. But it definitely could have been more embarrassing.

I knew there was something attracting me to this site.

At first I thought it was the fact that everyone — even the commenters! — knew how to write and were thoughtful in their opinions. But it probably was the Cannibal love.

Now I know why I stopped talking about baseball

By the way you had a good suggestion for me once

in the final leoneforthird.org thread:

Here’s a tip: when you write a comment, leave it on the computer and go do something else for five minutes. If you still think it’s worth posting when you get back, then go ahead.

And I’m going to find that if it’s the last thing I do

This and the Rene Rivera arrested picture are my favorite

It’s always the worst MS Paint images that you remember.

Hell, I wonder if there will still be an internet in 20 years or if it will be replaced by something cooler

Not a bad idea

But I’m all for not adding any moderators until deemed necessary
