The reason it is important

was because he’s the reason we didn’t NEED to make the Bedard trade. Something that was clearly overlooked by Bav.

Ironicly, the Korean emote for laugh out loud is 'kekekekeke," each syllable sounded with a long A sound

If I could go to M’s games when Baek pitched, I would take a sign that is a giant Zergling, and a string of “ke’s” would come out of the mouth to celebrate his strikeouts.

by thenatural on Apr 25, 2008 9:33 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

If you threw those files my way...

I could make it fit a bit better. Noise ninja and oversharpening of the Smurf, plus a motion blur to the M’s logo, could pull it all into something that looked much more natural.

That would dilute the point, of course, but it could be done.

Do we have anyone on the team to hit?

If we had anyone on the bench who could hit they’d find a spot in the linup.

Well, if we had sane management. And in that case, the team wouldn’t look remotely like this.

by oreotree on Apr 25, 2008 9:49 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

He corks his bat.

It gives him the power to hit one up the middle into the gap. His problem, though, is that when he tries to take it home, he all too often gets caught in a rundown and loses his hot streak.

Right, but we're not talking about a bad game.

Your team also has young potential, half our payroll, and is overperforming overall.

We have a completely incompetent management system from top to bottom that not only makes some poor decisions, but has actually ruined this team for years to come. Not just this year, or next year… YEARS.

This is not the same thing, nor is this really a comment on this game.

If Bavasi was not a whore, he would not be a bad GM, and thus he would get a job with a better team and possibly bonuses
