I think I just said that, in so many words.
Too lazy to read every post in game threads. But YASNY...well said.

I never said that. I don't think that any of the bums in the minors should be called up -- they all suck. KW should try to swing a trade for a good reliever. If he has to wait a little while, so be it.
A guy like Javier Lopez who can only get lefties out won't help us too much when we already have Cotts and Thornton who can fill that role.
Fair enough. The only angle I was going with is if we are gonna call up one of these AAA guys might as well call up the only one that can get anyone out, whether it be a righty or lefty.
QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 29, 2006 -> 10:51 AM)
Why? Javier Lopez should only ever face lefties and we have two competent lefties already -- Cotts and Thornton. We need a good righty if Politte continues to suck and if Nelson is only a one-pitch pitcher now. But Nelson should really only face a couple right-handed batters these days anyways.
So we should call up a righty just for the sake of calling one up when they are all nothing? Yeah I'm sure Jeff Farnsworth is better than Cliff...

People only remember the bad calls at the end of the game.
Well it would be pretty strange if someone carried a grudge against an officials call for 3 quarters of a game.

I tell you what, Cora's the best 3B coach in the league. I don't know about the National League, but he's by far the best 3B coach in the American League.
I can't really speak for the National League because I don't see em enough, I'm sure there damn good...but there is no way I can imagine anyone better than this guy.

I just don't get the JGINAA thing, since no one's ever deemed him such.

But really that is about it
QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 28, 2006 -> 10:45 PM)
I agree btw WHarris1 that it was a bad call...but there are so many bad calls in every NBA game that it evens out anyways IMO.
Ya no doubt, but that just stuck out to me as a stupid move. The Suns coaching staff if furious, telling them you f***ed up is just gonna make things worse.
QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ May 28, 2006 -> 10:05 PM)
The Suns lost because the game was played below 100, and the Suns s*** defense is exposed in that kind of game. They better figure out a way to speed the pace next game or they will be facing elimination when they return to Dallas.
Correct
