You need help from someone

Wrigley Field is a postage stamp shithole. It reeks of piss worse than R. Kelly’s underage girlfriend. It’s falling apart faster than Amy Winehouse. Their fans are denial-addled jagoffs of lowest stripe.
Trust me, wu, I really want to go. I'm going to see how I'm doing financially when next year rolls around and hope I can work something out then. A bake sale, maybe.

Surprising, as I expected a long-term deal, but this will do jussss fine...

seems to be waiting for his break out year before he signs something of length
but maybe i’m just stoned.
So...
all we got left is the Thome signing at about 2 PM Friday, right?
F.A. DH's
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2008/12/2010-mlb-free-a.html
Designated hitters
Hank Blalock (29)
Jason Giambi (39)
Mike Jacobs (29)
Gary Sheffield (41)
Matt Stairs (42)
Mike Sweeney (36)
Jim Thome (39)
1st choice - Thome
2nd choice – Blalock
I’ve always liked Blalock, and a 1 year deal with incentives may result in him being very productive.
sounds like a tee-shirt to me
“Stick with Nix” and underneath have a muscle-bound Jayson gripping a bat that looks way too small for him.
Blalock + Jones = The DH combination that didn't work for Texas last year.

What a selection...
Thomer for sure.
If not, mayyyyyybe Carlos Delgado. Maybe.

payroll is at about $100m even right now.
still have to fill 2 bullpen slots and need to sign beckham and nix. should be about 102 and change when finished.
everything
all of that stuff has been discussed ad nauseam here.

“I just can’t figure why Linebrink had the second half he did,” said Williams, almost falling back on the pitch-tipping after exhausting other explanations. “His stuff is too good. It’s sharp, it’s crisp and he’s aggressive.”
Fixed.

Kind of a crap stat... His '09 specialty was giving up other people's runs.
How about “disappointing” and “frustrating” as two examples, especially when focusing in on Linebrink’s 8.49 ERA over the second half of the campaign? Considering there was no injury hampering Linebrink’s efforts, and he carried a 1.93 ERA into the All-Star break, “baffling” comes to mind.

You're confusing him with Octavio Dotel
Linebrink allowed only 4 of 12 inherited runners to score. Dotel allowed 13 of 25.
He was genuinely good in the first half when he didn’t pitch on back-to-back days.

I recalled that Linebrink saved some face in the first half and it was Dotel... but he still seemed to suck a whole lot. Maybe situationally, he was blowing more than statistics show? ;)

IIRC
He was getting tagged all year long. The only difference was the inherited runners in the first half as opposed to his own runners in the 2nd. Nice job using your eyes hsa.

You remember incorrectly
He only had four inherited runners to deal with in the first half, and only one of them scored.
I guess the “power of the eye” fails to include reading comprehension.

First off, who the fuck are you? 2ndly, I am not going to start browsing the Internet for first half/second half splits from my phone when no matter what, linebrink sucked all year.

So do they generally think he'll have a pretty solid 2010 campaign?
This team sure seems to be full of, “we need them to bounce back and have good year” players.
Q, Rios, Linebrink to name a few…
Certainly hoping for more than a year
But the dent isn’t big enough to justify going without a DH now. Time to call Thome.
Is it possible they can re-sign him to a longer contract in a few months, and did this just to avoid arbitration?
Pretty surprising Danks would agree to only one year.

of course.
i don’t think this changes anything. i expect that negotiations continue. 1 year deals with floyd and thornton didn’t prevent them from signing multi-year deals later in spring training.
Good. Fuck the Red Sox.
