Dammit.
Who schedules Chicago during the first week in April? Thank you, mlb.
keep it to a game thread or something like that, people will want to look at this again and don’t want to see a pair of bollocks every time they come on, you fucking wanker.
who schedules chicago in april at all?
wouldn’t make any difference. guessing weather is silly.

Not only that
But couldn’t we schedule all the games on Sunday, or the first game at night? What the hell is up with scheduling are opening game at 1 p.m. on a Monday?? You are forcing your fans to miss work or miss the game. I realize during the rest of the season it’s fine, but at least make it easy to see the first game.

Even better
They could start the season on a Friday night and get another weekend on the books.

Why would it suck?
Would it suck more than having to play doubleheaders or on off days in the heat of summer? What really sucks is getting backed up in scheduling every year because of weather. This has been an issue long before Jack Morris’ no-no at Comiskey April 7, 1984, fer Chrissakes, which also was played in 30+ degree weather.
(A qoute from Morris: “The only time I talk to a woman when I’m naked is when she’s on top of me or I’m on top of her.” — Jack Morris, to female reporter Jennifer Frey in 1990 when she approached him in the Tiger clubhouse)

that's why they have offdays.
and it would suck for those teams because – wait for it – april dates are less desirable than summer dates (outside of opening day, and you’d get that bump anyway whether it’s first week or third week). money talks, as you well know.

Over Miguel Cabrera, Maggs, etc. For whatever thats worth.
Guffey said he told the driver, "I'm just asking you to slow down. I don't want trouble, but there are kids out."
The man hit Guffey in the face, then "took him to the ground, where he struck him some more with his hands, then bit off his ear," city patrolman M. Chase Hightower reported.
"Guffey stated the man then got up and spit his ear out at him," Hightower wrote.

white sox #22 in BP's initial "hit list".
Unwise: Despite winning last year’s AL Central title, the South Siders forecast to finish well below .500 for the second time in three years. Thanks to their ballpark, the lineup will produce plenty of pop, but the insertion of OBP-challenged DeWayne Wise and Alexei Ramirez atop the order will cost them, as will a shaky infield defense featuring the latter at shortstop. Add to that a whole lot of regression for Gavin Floyd (projected for a 5.00 ERA) and an ugly back end of the rotation, and it could be a long season on the South Side. (779 RS/829 RA)

Well, he rakes fastballs correct?
In theory he would see more fastballs batting 2nd, but I don’t think Ozzie would want to take the bat out of his hands for situational hitting. I believe Ozzie wants him to continue to be an aggressive run producing force. Just my 2 cents.

"If they had this s--- when i was playing, I would have been the best f------ shortstop who ever lived." - Oswaldo Guillen
what about Brian Anderson?
He has speed, is one of the few players on the team that can put down a bunt, and it is not set in stone that Wise will fail although it is a strong possibility. I believe Ozzie will try BA there before Missle. If both Wise and BA fail I can see Alexei moving to center and Williams calling up Beckham. Not sure if Beckham is an ideal #2 hitter but whatever.

Save the bunting for Wise and Getz. Alexei can bunt, too, but if he’s hitting sixth, he should never get the sign.

Alexei is an on base machine?
Didn’t think so. He can get hits but he won’t be on base enough to justify batting him there. Plus why would you EVER want Ozzie taking the bat out of his hands? Trust me I am not very happy about this either.

why are they relying on clay to do that?
they’ve got legions of commenters who could do that for them easily.
I can lead you to 4 Wisdom, but I can't free your brain from the evil of Punto.
which would be why those legions of commenters comment on the depth charts and clay makes changes.

i’m sure they’re aware they don’t have the best system in place for this, but why so many very certain citations?

let's be honest. does it really matter much what the batting order looks like? no.

time to cut BP some slack.

So... which comes first? Vegas O/U at 77.5, or Pecota?

kind of hard to choose between 76 or 77 wins.

My question is: Does Vegas crunch its own numbers, or wait for Pecota (or similar?)
to set the line?

Roland Burris
i doubt they wait on a publically available resource

why is it spelled B-A-L-K

maybe BP can tell us that.

i don't think i've ever read sickels use such strong language, especially on the front page of his site.
I think putting Rick Porcello in the Detroit rotation is batshit insane. In my opinion, even the best prospects need a good dose of Double-A. Most of them need Triple-A. Porcello is very talented, but he is NOT Dwight Gooden or Bob Feller. The wonderful spring training he had resulted in a 2.30 ERA, which is sharp, but also a 8/5 K/BB and 17 hits in 15.2 innings, hardly a dominant ratio set. Maybe it will work, but it is not a risk I would take if I was the Tigers braintrust.

I'd say most of the things Detroit does is batshit insane the past couple of years.
Of course, we have hind-sight. Still, I’m glad our guys aren’t as extension happy as some teams are and, seemingly, never rush their prospects.
On the subject of extensions(and long contracts in general), I think the last couple of years are a great example of why they aren’t very good ideas after arb years. Look at some of the contracts teams like the Mariners and Tigers are stuck wit, and then they have to eat 14 mil… yuck.

There was an incident a few years ago. The Bulls were killing the Knicks, scrubs were playing out the clock, and the fans were screaming at them to score 100 points for free Big Macs. They took a ton of shots, Knicks took offense and they tried to fight some Bulls players.

listened to the m's-twinks game on the way home from work
dropped out in an area of bad reception, but picked back up when it got better with no interaction from me. w00t!
the audio is a bit more compressed than i’d like (maybe an artifact of producing the content for AM radio), but it works. sweet zombie jesus it works.

i think i've got something that will help.
since our offseason has been extended by a day this seems like a good time for a lesson in the art of non-escalating verbal self-defense. there’s so much information there that one could probably spend the whole time between now and first pitch tomorrow learning. it’s quite simple really. you start in the sunporch, then go to the kitchen, continue on to the wine cellar, and end up in the nursery.
brian anderson would've caught that...
can it be that it's all so simple?
