Tank

whaddaya know, a hole in one . . .

i'm guessing new york or florida for most of those pics.

kudos to her for working the system just right.

and you still haven't addressed any of the issues i've presented - not a single one. uneven.

just when i thought you had reached the bottom of the logic pool, you pulled out a shovel and started digging. congrats.

that's 'cause you're edgy.

i'm not worried about this team against verlander. they've hit him in the past - he doesn't own us, not by a long shot.

my wife still says that there's nothing wrong with Tanking.

i'd like to see what our current staff could do if everyone was healthy. that being said, i'd take the starting five from '02 any day of the week over our current group of medical replacements and guys from the witness protection program.

that's because trumbo is out of position in right field. he really needs to be at 3B.

we don't have the money to spend to get a rotation like those you've mentioned. it'd be great but it's out of reach. i'd rather see one bonfafide stud with four very solid mid-rotation types and a great bullpen. i wouldn't touch darvish - he's been pretty ineffective with the dodgers and he's had a significant injury. i'd lobby hard for arrieta. sign him, keep upton and phillips, and add where else is needed, and the remaining trout years won't be wasted. it's like going to thanksgiving at, well, at my house, wondering what kind of tofurkey i'm going to serve you when what you really want is a nice big meaty turkey leg.

probably the same people who cried when hillary lost.

everybody else plays at least 9 conference games, right? or 10? with all the powder puff teams the SEC plays, it's hard to understand why they're viewed as such invincibles. kudos to the espn image makers on that one.

i don't think i've ever known anyone who makes their own pickles. although @tdawg87 seems to have a lot of personal experience with his own pickle.

i started reading the one on propeller beanies and was prepared to go to the mat if they didn't mention cecil and beanie boy. fortunately, they did.

i hear it makes your hair grow faster.

"i'm tellin' ya, larry, they were really biting on saturday. it was like i was the only one there!'

he batted hamilton down in the order IIRC, not cleanup, which was probably difficult for him to do. but for about the billionth time, player performance and the lack of it was critical in that series, not scioscia's decision on who to play. the outcome of the entire series did not swing on the addition or subtraction of hamilton and his play. the royals should also get some credit for having very good pitching in that series and for making the world series that year. they were a tough team and the angels clearly had their hands full. you just don't seem to grasp that how the players perform has such a huge effect on the outcome of the game. you want to lay every single thing on the doorstep of the manager. Uneven.

hey at least we didn't have to listen to chris berman call the game. i'll take the mowins chick over boomer any day of the week.

LOL. that was awesome.

it's about time. you deserve it!

so only @Bruce Nye remembers that season. got it.

you'd think i'd have remembered that someone typed that just a few posts before mine. d'oh!

me too!* * not my money, either

this team lacks a true stud #1 pitcher (been lacking one for a while). wouldn't this be a prudent move to make the team better, especially while trout is still here? nothing crazy like an 8 year contract, but maybe something like 5/125 should be doable.
