Wasn't that after Aybar dropped a pop up? 

[Troll Daddy]

Love Lackey ... I will always be rooting for him.

[Homebrewer]

No love for Terry Collins?

 

First time to the post season for the ex Halo skip.

Add bourjos to that list even though most hwre could care less.

As far as lackey, i was pissed when he left too. But in hindsight, he didnt dog the fans as much as he praised boston's...take that for what its worth. Guy on a new team...hamilton talked similar about texas. I cringed because i remembered lackeys comments, most on here (who were still lighting fireworks over signing hamilton) thought it was great.

Lackey said some things we didnt like, but most had no problem talking trash about his divorce, chicken and beers, etc. End of the day, he wanted the best contract, we were outbid, it ended up being a good contract.

I think some chemistry and leadership left when he did personally...

 

His contract did alot of 180's though. First a rough first season then Tommy John surgery, then he comes back and wins a WS then.....traded to the Cardinals and struggles his first year there & now pitching his best since 2007 for the Cardinals in 2015.

yeah, very true. Its not like hes been automatic every year. But i think looking back over the last 5 seasons, hes been a pretty good deal for the sox and especially the cards. They really scored with hiw the deal was set up.

[Adam]

No he wanted more years and then talked shit about our fan base. I don't recall him talking poorly about Mike but I could be wrong. He is upset like Weaver used to be upset when being pulled from the game, he's a competitor, like Man of War, or Secritariat.

 

I impressed by your inclusion of Man of War. 

[Homebrewer]

I'd be impressed, except it was Man O' War 

[Stradling]

Sorry, it was first attempt at the second oldest and second most abused AW joke.

Wait, do you know something about my ex girlfriend that you aren't telling me?

[Capital_Dave]

Add Big Fat Bartolo Colon to the list.  He's on the Mets playoff roster.

Sean Rod starts at 1B tonight for Hurdle??

Some wacky lineups in NL game 1

Agreed. Its funny he's now got quite a good playoff career numbers especially in the WS.

 

Would be Funny if they signed Napoli....followed by Scioscia retiring because he doesn't want to get fired for benching Napoli for 162 games.

[mpcincal]

Well, Sean Rodriguez sure made an impression tonight: He's probably launched a thousand memes and tweets with the sick knockout of the Gatorade cooler.

 

Also, it had been a long time since I've seen him. I didn't realize he went for the "son of Rico Suave" look.

[Biergott]

Also forgot about Ryan Madson.  Just read this quote about the Royals on SI.com and puked in my mouth a little bit:   Ryan Madson is the team's secret weapon (2.13 ERA in 63 1/3 innings)   Does he count?

Weaver grew old faster than your normal MLB pitcher. At their peak I'd take Weaver.

 

Grew old faster than a normal MLB pitcher.  

 

But didn't grow old faster than a normal Weaver.
