Ok, I'll word that better. Unexpected sad endings for movies that don't seem sad at first glance make the movie

feel like a waste. Like if at the end of Superbad they all got arrested and died from Lou Gehrig’s disease. It just isn’t right.

The awesomeness known as Roy Halladay made his 7th start today:

So in other news...

The Bengals are looking into signing Shaun Alexander, saying that his hands could “improve their backfield passing game.”

by BrianL on May 4, 2008 12:06 PM PDT reply actions  

Don't underestimate how important backfield passing is.

‘Beck could have used some better checkdown options over the last few seasons. Part of the reason I’m excited to see a Jones/Weaver/Schmitt backfield.

A Super Bowl appearance?

I’d take my chances being up that late in a game. It was the defense going pffft late that killed them, not their backfield passing game.

by eponymous_coward on May 4, 2008 12:11 PM PDT up reply actions  

I'm honestly shocked the Pats

didn’t use the checkdown receiver more during the Superbowl.

On the bright side

After this game the Yankee fans will think Rasner is a solid starter, only to have their hopes crushed during his next outing.

I think that was me after the DeSalvo mess

of course his next start was against us and proceeded to shut us down.

It sounds like he's slowing starting to admit

that those damn statheads may have been right about this team

But then they come in here and get outclassed with their three best starters on the mound. Makes me wonder about these guys. Not about their stats. But about whether they have what’s necessary inside to rebound from a setback. This team was supposed to be immune from losing streaks because of the improved pitching. But maybe, now that they’re off on another one, about to drop seven of nine, maybe it’s the everyday players that need to be looked at?

That fiasco sucked nuts. Hated him as a Pen, sucked while he was with the Caps, and now pay him 5 mil not play there. He had to score a certain amount or make the third round for his option to vest.

I walked into a Circle K, saw the cold sandwich section and picked up a wrapped Jalapeno Burger for two dollars. I think it’s pretty obvious where I went wrong. Also, yay Arthur Rhodes.

Not really

Soriano was getting paid rather little. As strange as it seems now, a lot of very smart people thought the Rangers won that trade at the time.

Salary figures from B-R.com

Wilkerson: 3.9 million
Sledge and Galarraga: MLB minimums, probably
Soriano: 10 million

I still say “salary dump”.

Exactly.

Trust me, nobody except for Bill would trade a guy who’s got a lifetime OPS of .917 for a AAAA starter and a lefty relief specialist.

I know. I'm aware of how good Josh Hamilton is

here’s the part where I have two options
