We need more, I think.

I think FUCK YOU
would have been more appropriate here, but that’s just me.
I don't think he knows any better but he's been inadvertantly trolling us an awful lot.

Sorry about my bad grammar you guys. I really need to think before i post.
I’ll stop postng until my grammar and writing for that matter improves dramatically.
No problem.

I don't think you actually need to stop altogether.
This comment is fine. Just use the preview button and review your comments before you post and posting’s a breeze.
I don't think so. He would have to up his SLG by almost 100 points
to get to 400. It’s too late in the season for him to do that.
He could also simply bring his UZR up a bit while continuing to hit.

He could argue with Wak more also; Larry Stone reported that since the dugout incident with manager Don Wakamatsu
Chone Figgins has hit .407 (24-for-59.) I am sure his OPS must also be up there in the 900-1000 range.
I like when people use arbitrary dates where someone got yelled at as evidence that yelling at people works
He has gotten better, yeah: We expected him to get better because he has a history of being pretty good but has been awful this year. The same thing happened after Wak called Felix out last year in the media and to a lesser extent this year with him as well when he had that awful May, and now it’s happening with Figgins. Good players playing poorly tend to get yelled at because they’re expected to produce and they aren’t, then they tend to get better because of regression, then everyone looks at it like all they needed was a kick in the ass to make them start performing again. I don’t buy it.
If that was the case, Bobby Knight would have won a lot more national championships.
“I’ll run you till you can’t eat fucking supper…”
Why would he have to do it just by upping his SLG?
He could play better defense or make better contact or what have you.
I think it would be interesting to look at Figgins OPS from the left side as the season has progressed.
I think that it has gotten much better.
What do you think about the Brandon League / Brandon Morrow trade now?
Brandon Morrow just pitched the best game this year in the majors with a 100 game score, better than Roy Halladay’s perfect game with a game score of 98.
Wow, I didn't know that! Now would you like some apple pie? There's no poison in it, I swear!

I love the fact that both Brandon League and Brandon Morrow currently have the exact same win/loss record.
First it was "Oh noes Morrow instead of Lincecum!!!" Now it's "Oh noes League instead of Morrow!!!"
It’s a meme within a meme :-)
Not unless the concept of the movie is considered a spoiler.

2010 Seattle Mariners -
A disaster within a disaster within a disaster.
What do you mean "now?"
Graham’s post on the deal (when he was a contributing writer here) said “Morrow for League + Johermyn Chavez…sucks.”
There was a lot of pent up frustration with Morrow’s inconsistency and back-and-forth ‘twixt pen and rotation (which is, granted, mostly the Bavasi organization, but early 2009 was all on Brandon), but in general the the blogs were puzzled by the move—some contributors loved it, some hated it, most just didn’t understand it in a standalone context.
But, hey, we got League and we live with the deal. Guess what? League has the stuff to be pretty filthy out of the pen. Whether he puts it all together again (see: 2009) is up in the air, but then again so was Morrow reaching his potential. I’m one of the few ardent fans of Brandon Morrow, still follow him with the Jays, but for fuck’s sake it’s in the past. Don’t misrepresent the blog or the community writ large. I like League. I hope to be happy with him. I also like Morrow.
If you want to evaluate the trade in context, okay. But don’t judge it in hindsight. It’s fucking annoying, and even I’m getting sick of it.
Huh, funny how everyone viewed Chavez as "nothing"
I mean, he has ridiculous home splits, strikes out too much and doesn’t have much defensive value, but he could crack our top 10 prospects going into next year (barely).
Makes me wonder if the guys we gave up for Branyan are really “nothing.” Hmm…

Also, the thread before that, everyone was worried that J.P. Arencibia may have been the prospect
Boy would that have sucked.

Are you an Indians fan or what?
This seems to indicate you are, yet you are only a member of the Mariners and Red Sox blogs
He is really annoying, too!
I’d link all 389 comments, but I have much better things to do with my time!
