Why do you guys hate him so much? Is it his shitty .gifs? The way he comes up with fake conversations? All I ever see if you guys slamming on him in every thread.
So... assuming Batista doesn't get out of the inning... is he going to get any more starts?
It looks like they are going to bring Dickey in. This guy hasn’t pitched a half-way decent game in a really long time. I’m not sure even our manager can keep throwing him out there.
Richie Sexson often doesn’t offer at the first pitch because he seems to realize that he can’t catch up to a Tim Wakefield fastball and thus usually tries to work the count
You guys wasted my HR. The one thing that made that game worth it was you trying to out do Matthew’s diving catch and totally rauling it and landing face first in the grass.
And Matthew’s diving catch came after I Raul’d it. And it was a slide, not a dive. I landed in a sitting position, then stood up. What game are you recalling?
Goombas (クリボー, Kuribō?) are depicted as brown mushroom-like creatures with feet, bushy eyebrows, and a pair of fangs sprouting from their lower jaw. They generally tackle, headbonk, or bite an enemy. The Goombas once lived in peace in the Mushroom Kingdom, but they betrayed their homeland to side with Bowser.

It’s like flag football. They need mercy rules because everyone runs out of energy.

so they’re comparable there, nevermind.

I also think overtime in regular season is stupid

hay is is Vitor artinez
Jeff Sullivan - June 7, 2008
J.D. Drew was available last winter, right?
Susheel Ramasahayam - June 7, 2008
Boston fans booed him last year.
He hit .270/.373/.423….I have no idea what it’s like to have a hitter that good in a lineup.
BrettJMiller - June 7, 2008
You don't remember Edgar?
eponymous_coward - June 7, 2008
Didn't we need an OF last year?
Susheel Ramasahayam - June 7, 2008
To be fair Guillen had an awesome year.
Regardless, Drew fits the park better and is a better hitter…and defender.
BrettJMiller - June 7, 2008
UGH. I hate our front office.
Susheel Ramasahayam - June 7, 2008
That's the difference between us and Boston
When they overpay for someone they still get acceptable production from them.
OlSalty - June 7, 2008
Ibanez .266/.337/.445 this year
I know that’s a little worse, but still…
TheOptimist - June 7, 2008
The OBP is waaaayyyyyy worse.
BrettJMiller - June 7, 2008
Granted, but it's like .012 OPS difference.
And for most purposes the batting averages are identical.
TheOptimist - June 7, 2008
But but defense.
Susheel Ramasahayam - June 7, 2008
Comment was purely about hitting.
I said nothing about defense. >_>
TheOptimist - June 7, 2008
OBP is more important than SLG. OPS doesn't tell the whole story.
BrettJMiller - June 7, 2008
But then you have to consider that, Ibanez has played every day,
It’s only a matter of time till Drew breaks something. Again.
TheOptimist - June 7, 2008
This is true
Graham MacAree - June 7, 2008
I'd rather have 450 ABs of a very good player than 550 of a slightly above average one

Or sometimes you chalk it up to a lack of talent
BrettJMiller - June 7, 2008
So what percentage of LL posters could play a better LF than Raul Ibanez?
BrettJMiller - June 7, 2008
1%ish?
Graham MacAree - June 7, 2008
That seems pretty high
But on defense alone… well I’m pretty sure a lot of people here have better range.
AtomicGarden - June 7, 2008
In fact, I just put a glove on a lamp post and set it in a field
It caught 32% of all balls hit to it!
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 7, 2008
I think you overestimate Raul's defensive ability.
BrettJMiller - June 7, 2008
I've seen LL'ers fielding
Graham MacAree - June 7, 2008
You haven't seen me
Jeff Sullivan - June 7, 2008
From personal experience, I'll say that tall people aren't normally graceful
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 7, 2008
You get hit in the face with baseballs
Robert - June 7, 2008
That takes range
Jeff Sullivan - June 7, 2008
I'm sure your face showed a range of emotions
Robert - June 7, 2008
I don't know. Gomez may really suck at fielding, but I think he'd only be about 5 runs worse than Raul :o
BrettJMiller - June 7, 2008
You guys should invite Raul to LL softball to play defense
Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - June 7, 2008
Only if he would DH.
I don’t want to lose a 7 run lead in the 7th like Graham’s team did that one time.
BrettJMiller - June 7, 2008
I broke someone's ankle that inning
Graham MacAree - June 7, 2008
I wasn't at that game.
So you’ve blown a 7 run lead twice?
BrettJMiller - June 7, 2008
fuck that fucking game
Robert - June 7, 2008
Aren't you glad I drafted you for the next game? :)
BrettJMiller - June 7, 2008
that was the last game of the day and it left a very bitter taste in my mouth
Robert - June 7, 2008
What? That's the one you hit the "HR" in that we won.
BrettJMiller - June 7, 2008
That was the same game
You guys wasted my HR. The one thing that made that game worth it was you trying to out do Matthew’s diving catch and totally rauling it and landing face first in the grass.
Robert - June 7, 2008
No we played two games that day.
And Matthew’s diving catch came after I Raul’d it. And it was a slide, not a dive. I landed in a sitting position, then stood up. What game are you recalling?
BrettJMiller - June 7, 2008
Also I won both games, so I know you won at least one.
BrettJMiller - June 7, 2008
We'll find out next weekend
Jeff Sullivan - June 7, 2008
When did Yuni's bat become non-horrible this year?

I could also do this if someone were to get me said files
