Yes, because a career year at age 37 makes it the best signing ever.

Just think how good he'll be when he's 39.

I am sure he will take pride in his extreme efforts.

Actually I bet he is traded to be a DH for his last year of the contract.

I switched to the TV from my laptop

and have Dave O’Brien and Rick Sutcliffe. Infinitely preferable.

I still can't quite believe that Cliff Lee has become the soul-eating dominant ace that he is.

After all those years of flaky failure to live up to his talent…he’s gotta turn back into a pumpkin somewhere around the 6th inning of Game 1, right?

Chase Utley has some of the greasiest hair I have ever seen on a major league baseball player

Much less one who looks more or less like a normal guy with his batting helmet on.

I guess he could have dove but he realized he would not have been able to throw him out

thats why he tried to get to it stending up. I was actually impressed by his range. Tex should have taken the ball…

Left fielders are not responsible for balls hit down the right field line.

Thanks for that, Tim.

I hate having to sit through God Bless America

at least I missed the National Anthem today.

Fuck Anaheim.

I like the National Anthem.

I agree with you on GBA. I change the channel. Just do the 7th inning song and get back to the game.

by mark sobba on Oct 28, 2009 7:33 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

So 1st and 2nd, nobody out..

Chase Utley takes 5 pitches, 4 out of the strike zone.. and is called out on strikes. Nice job there ump.

The worst part is that Tillman has made his major league debut

and looked fairly good given his age/development

What is he, 20 in that picture?

This actually a pre-draft photo

I remember his myspace circulating around USSM the day he was drafted. This photo was there then

My bad. Forgot his cup of coffee.

Guess that proves he’ll never make it after all.

by katal on Oct 28, 2009 8:02 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

You're right.

I’m biased against the Bedard trade because of how much it has affected me for the worst. The Colon trade was amusing to me then (“He didn’t go to NY!”) and was pleasing later (I like the Indians as much as I can like another AL team), so it’s been tough for me to see it as something negative.

by katal on Oct 28, 2009 8:06 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Wait five years and check out the difference between Gutz and Jones.

It’s going to be awhile, but I’m on pins and needles to see how they compare.

by Kermit. on Oct 28, 2009 8:07 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Two years of Bedard vs. half a year of Colon.

And Tillman pitched in 12 games this year. He had a 5.36 tRA.

Bill Simmons on House in 2004
5:13 — You know Fox’s upcoming medical drama “House,” the one with the scary-looking doctor with the cane who screams “You’re risking a patient’s life!” and looks like even he can’t believe he’s the lead of the show? How did Omar Epps get roped into this one? Did he lose a bet? Isn’t there a sports movie he should be making? Should I write one during the commercials? Just tell me what to do here.

I visited yankee Stadium two summers ago.

The program for the game’s cover featured a close-up of Derek Jeter against a blue backdrop. Accompanying the photo were the words “Sky’s the Limit.” This bothered me for reasons I can’t begin to articulate.

There are many reasons I could think of for arguing that the world might be injust.

That one had never occurred to me.

I must say I find the way he was used this year to be hilarious

He has to have come close to setting a record for littlest amount of playing time by a non Rule 5 player who was on the active rostera ll year

I once started a fanpost of players worse than Willie Bloomquist that played on WS winning teams.

It wasn’t very funny and he was too much of a lightening rod for shit storms so I dropped it.

Like Adam Morrison

Who got a ring with the Lakers despite barely playing last year.
