His performance tonight was inexcusable, disgraceful, despicable, deplorable and a bunch of other big words that I don't feel like spelling. Ryan Sweeney, you can't get here fast enough.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 10:38 PM) I've been hoping for a DL trip for a long time now. Meaning you've been waiting for a long time or you want the trip to last a long time?

f*** a duck. Thanks, sparky.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 09:31 PM) Sanders is out for the year. Notice the game going on now? Apparently so is Pods.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 01:44 PM) The trib did a series on this ages ago. I've never been a huge fish fan, but I eat even less now. Tuna AND walleye. But they do say salmon is pretty safe. And tilapia -- meh.

Quick, someone check Billy Beane's pulse. Thinking out loud: I guess the players' union would care about this because it awards more top-end players to small-market teams, meaning the sum of all contracts is smaller. Is that right? (For that to be true, MLBPA would have to grab some proportion of the initial contract, through dues, say, instead of just taking a cut of major league salaries -- since even big contract players usually get MLB minimum salaries initially.) But I just can't believe it would be a big enough difference for the MLBPA to care much, while it really does seem to hurt MLB, in that they probably wouldn't want to make the big market-small market gap any larger. So why would an agreement like this come about?

No... Keep Vick. Leftwich has looked shaky, and Simms is still not 100% proven. I figure Vick will give you 5 scores will his legs, at least, and 15-low 20s through the air (improved wr corps + experience makes me guess around 20). That's pretty good for your backup. And I think Simms will have a pretty good year, but I'd still prefer Vick.

My team blows.

I'm not an expert, but my impression is that it's pretty good. Since the league is weighted so heavily toward scores, Gore could be a weak point. You may or may not be able to make that up off the bench, depending on those rookies come on. But you did well taking rookie rbs on high-scoring teams. I didn't know Matt Jones was going so high. He could well be worth it, I'm just surprised.

Iirc, on Brandmeier's short-lived tv show, he took the most lovable-looking dog around to Asian restaurants (Korean or Chinese, I can't remember), asking them if they'd be willing to cook it up for him.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 01:16 PM) I thought Mr. Zimmerman was from Minny, no? Well, yeah, but he's going by players. Do you know anyone more huggable than Brandon Inge?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 11:41 AM) I'd say that it's Ethier or Johnson out of those choices. I think Uggla's on par with those 2, considering his position and the fact that he's been up longer than Ethier. But I'd probably go with Johnson in the end. I wub my starters.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 11:09 AM) I now have a man-crush on Josh Johnson. Is he going to continue being this good throughout his career? And who else has a shot at the NL ROY? Who doesn't? Dan Uggla, Hanley Ramirez, Andre Ethier, Chris Duncan (longshot)...does Zimmerman qualify?

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 02:47 AM) I guess from how I was raised, it means something else. Well, alright then. With the budget I'm on, you'll have to tell me where you were raised. Any place .8 cents per item is considered expensive is the place I'm shopping from now on.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 01:49 AM) Give him two more years. (barring injury) He's a dime a dosen. Um, okay. So why haven't the Sox ever had one?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 01:25 AM) Even though he's on a s*** team, I'd still put Hafner ahead of Jeter as well. + Joe Mauer As much crap as this might get, to play that position as well as he does, and put up those numbers to boot...goddam.
