It's really great how this place is running an occasional Frank Caliendo ad in the right menu. I think it speaks to the audience.

Dammit, Moyer's getting some great calls on the bottom of the strike zone, gets pulled.

Stupid stupid NL, now I remember why I dislike the NL so much.

11 groundball outs and no flyouts.

How come we didn’t get Kuroda?

by Taylor H on Oct 4, 2008 8:31 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He wanted to play in LA.

For less money too I believe and maybe the huge Asian community down there influenced his decision since he was taking his family over.

BOOYA! You got Slurved!

by Slurvey on Oct 4, 2008 8:33 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Shigetoshi Hasegawa persuaded Kuroda to go to LA.

1. It’s warm.
2. A better team.
3. Large Asian community.

I don't know what went wrong with the deal.

People thought the Saito and Shiggy factor(but he denies it) was why but I thought he was coming here for sure because we had Kenji catching and Ichi in the outfield.

BOOYA! You got Slurved!

by Slurvey on Oct 4, 2008 8:39 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Because Yuni would negate the positive effect of groundballs.

I was just going through the Ibanez bad defense .gifs and I was thinking about how many runs scored just with those mishaps. Statcorner doesn’t have defensive stats, but I would like to know what they have to say and compare them to the number of runs Ibanez coughed up in those .gifs.

by Wilder. on Oct 4, 2008 8:36 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Silva was even more hyped.

And Felix is supposed to be a groundball pitcher when he is pitching like he should. It’s those damn fastballs, though.

by Wilder. on Oct 4, 2008 8:39 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Casey Blake with the Indians:.289/.365/.465

With the Dodgers:..251/.313/.460

That’s why nobody talks about that deal.

Casey Blake is terrible.

Andy LaRoche with the Dodgers

.203/.319/.322

So Blake was an upgrade even if his numbers went down. Although giving up Carlos Santana suuuuuucked.

Every time I hear that comment the image of Lou going after Rob Dibble runs through my head.

But I think he was on steroids.

I wasn't being serious.

My “Lou looks so young” comment was more of an “Aw, isn’t he cute” comment. His brief interview is hilarious.

by Wilder. on Oct 4, 2008 9:13 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

How did you ever find that so fast?

The only thing missing on Dibble were the Bosworth lines in his hair.

Duh. I just realized I typed 'ron'. I7 years ago. Wow.

He was closer to being a player than from 1992 to present day. Suddenly the avalanche of Viagra commercials are making sense.

I was dozing in and out of the game last night.

I was awoken by the homerun that followed, though. And then, back to sleep with me on the couch, the lights and TV on all night. I wish I didn’t miss this.

It was Mack Strong.

If it was the Socal team it was probably Petros Papadakis one of the most annoying USC alum on TV.

There are some things that need to remain static in baseball.

The Cubs not winning a World Series is one of them.

That and the Cubs are the Red Sox of the National League. It’s good for baseball if they continue to lose.

K! THREE MORE OUTS!

And since I have to leave for work, and I’m assuming the Cubs will go down easily in the 9th, I just wanna say one more time:

because their fans are new to the party, however if you could find someone who was a diehard fan of the first two Senators and is now a Nats fan…

so one could make the argument that we’ve leapfrogged them.
