Of course what's wrong with this prediction is that...

what made last year so satisfying was the LACK of expectation. Now that I have some, I’m afraid we’re in for an ‘07 type season. But then maybe I’m the anti-stan?

that LL thread is hilarious!
Zduriencik said that when you look at Aumont’s size, most notably his 6-foot-7 height, it lends itself to being a top-of-the-line reliever.

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN

So, Randy Johnson should have been relegated to the ’pen as well, eh?

We’re going to have no starters and 12 relievers.

6 pitchers per game!

PERFECT!

Revolutionary!

I was doing hamstring curls when my buddy says “Hey, how’s it going”. I look up to see a full-grown guy in a rabbit suit – like effing Harvey – walking silently past us. No one else said a thing. I haven’t laughed so hard all year. I was expecting Jimmy Stewart to follow this guy.

Like these kids have a clue what you're prattling about.

Elwood P. Dowd is an endlessly pleasant & delightfully eccentric bachelor living in a small town that isn’t quite aware that its newest citizen is a 6’3" white rabbit named “Harvey,” that only certain people can see. After supposedly meeting this rabbit – its origins attributed to the Celtic legend of the Pooka – Dowd’s sanity is put into question by his equally eccentric sister.

That is pretty freaking hilarious.

I had a moment like that this year….a weekend in January.
It was a rare sunny winter day on the peninsula. I had just gotten out of the ocean, put on some dry clothes, walked back to the beach to enjoy the mild temps and sunshine.

While I was watching the waves, I glanced over to my right, and there was a stark naked dude drinking a beer and walking towards me.

It was probably only 50 degrees, but the sunshine made it feel like 70, and this guy was absorbing as much as he possibly could.

Aside from when he and a (clothed) friend decided to move a large piece of driftwood across the sand (watching a naked man schlep a giant log is a lot funnier than you can imagine), the best moment was when he was approached by a dog who wanted to play fetch. He took the ball and casually drop-kicked it down the beach for the dog.

Too much.

Dayyyyyum

Larry ftw in that thread:

i’m basing my opinion – just like a lot of others with more knowledge than me (sickel, baseball america) – on his superior stuff. danks just has a bit better of a repetoire and, when he gets his control taken care of, i think he’ll end up being very good. i’ve always seen him rated as a #1-2 guy (probably closer to a 2) whereas BMac always was rated as a #2-4 (probably closer to a very good 3). we’ll see what actually happens.

as for masset, that’s like frosting on a brownie. not necessary but sure makes it taste better. he’ll be a guy to put in the back of the bullpen. my point was more that i probably would have taken BMac for danks straight up (i wouldn’t expect KW to do that, of course, but i’m a gambler) so getting even a bag of balls above that is good.

It literally crushed my hopes and dreams as McCarthy was my favorite player at the time. I am pretty sure I broke my remote.

His middle name is La Marque?

Are you allowed to have 2 middle names? Can one of them be a definite article? Where are the lawyers?

Point of fact.

It’s a tradition in Scottish culture to give male children two middle names — one for each grandfather.

He left the minors at 21!

AGE vs. LEAGUE!

I don’t think anyone is arguing that he’s gonna win a batting title or post a .400 OBP…

But you’re talking about a plus defensive CFer who has about a 40% chance of outperforming Jermaine Dye at the plate this season and a 75-80% chance next year.

somebody needs some baseball.

take a deep breath. maybe write one of those haikus you used to do about age v. league.

You can give a man a fork and a knife

You can show him the proper technique to cut a steak… but chances are he’s still gonna stick the fork in his eye and pick up the steak with his mitts

Tell me why I should care.

Everyone and their mom takes a crap on the way the White Sox operate with their minor league talent, and every year it ends up not mattering.

This young Jones has had quite an opener!

3-3, BB so far.
Quite impressive for someone so young. Somebody should do a piece on Age/League in terms of projection.

I very much enjoyed Niehaus recounting game 163 against the White Sox.

Those were good times.
