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

9/15: Open Game Thread

Seattle Mariners at Kansas City Royals, Sep 15, 2008 5:10 PM PDT





W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Carlos Silva 4-14 26 26 1 0 0 0 144.2 201 108 105 20 30 61 6.53 1.60

I think Carlos Silva is proof that just because you like a team doesn't mean you have to root for every single one of its players to escape a clubhouse fire unharmed after it was accidentally set off by a mysterious stubbly assistant without a nametag.

Ok lets recap.

Who threaten to leave a muffin on your door step than did?
Who threatened to find Jeff’s address than did (I’m so sorry jeff :( )?
Who threatened to bite Graham than did?
Who threatened to prank call Paris Hilton than did?
Who threatened to Rick Roll Willie Bloomquist on Opening Day than did?

I’m a man of my word damnit.

I love your sig

Also, how does Meche still have a shiny tRA+ despite a steep drop in GBs and an increase in LD%? He’s getting a few more swinging strikes, but he’s throwing more balls/walking more batters as well. He’s had a very solid season by tRA, and yet he STILL appears to be a completely different guy from year to year.

Hey now.

There’s nothing wrong with MNF if you don’t bother to listen to the announcers. For those of us that are old enough, it was a massive deal back in the day.

That sounds right.

He was dressed up for rookie hazing and was hit in the leg by a random bullet or something?

If Jeff isn't around for tomorrow's game to rule otherwise

I’m placing a preemptive ban for the duration of the game on any Morrow puns. Fair warning.

Jose Guillen sucks

and that extension would have been a disaster.

Great.

If memory serves them right, the scouting report says this isn’t the Angels.

No wonder we lose so many games, our scouting reports are vague at best!

Jorge Posada petitioning to be hired on as a writer for Driveline Mechanics. Referring to Chamberlain
I think if you start him and he pitches 200 innings in one year, you’re going to lose him. He’s going to get hurt. I don’t see him as a starter," Posada said Monday

I wonder if this is permanent.

Newspapers are making huge cuts right now, but not sending a beat writer on the road? That’s just insane. I hope it’s just because they know no one cares anymore.

it sounded like it was because of budget cuts at the Times.

Ugh. That sucks.

My paper has laid off/bought out more than 100 people in the past two years in the newsroom alone. And like 30 more are taking buyouts in a couple of weeks.

Kauffman Stadium has been a nice place ever since they ripped out the turf

I’m glad they are expanding instead of demanding a new stadium.

Not saying he isn’t terrible, but I’ll give him a pass on that bounce.

I read sometimes read these GT so fast I miss the really good ones.

The comments following make me go back and catch it. I’m busy during the games and often have to zip through the comments.

Unless I’m having a good day and everything is making me laugh, then I self impose a limit. I often wonder what other peoples criteria are for rec’ing.

Preserve that quality start! Pump up his value!!

We should have dealt him when he was 3-1 with a shiny ERA (not that that matters).
