this is rather amazing.

considering the tigers will be carrying ryan raburn (not to mention likely another back-up OF, like clete thomas). it’s okay, everyone. your team will be fine if you have a guy who can just hit the ball.

Its a conspiracy!

NL special interest groups are lobbying AL managers to stop using the DH position as intended. Pouring millions into the AL manager’s pockets, specifically the AL central is where they have decided to start their fight. Dark, dark days are ahead my friends!

If, in fact, I am able to meet Dumbrowski

this spring, as I havebeen told, I may have a question or two for him.

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.

I want Randy Winn as DH

Sure he’s not traditionaly a run producer, but neither was Julio Franco, and we all remember how good he did. And we don’t even need Winn in the 4 spot.

RISP – .319avg/.379obp/142pa
2outs RISP – .370avg/.443obp/61pa

Thome:
RISP – .253avg/.413obp/121pa
2outs RISP – .261avg/.424obp

Winn did a better job getting a hit. Thome did a better job pasing the torch. Oh yeah, Winn can also steal ~ 20 bases and play gold glove defense.

thanks Randy, but no

Um...

Winn’s only value is in his defense, so DH’ing him would be the most counterproductive measure the team could do.

I thought we wanted DH's whose primary function was a good glove.

This should be an interesting season, one way or another.

For the games where Quentin DH’s, we have Pierre, Rios and Winn in the outfield. Sounds pretty impressive to me.

Except for Rios post-2007, Pierre and Winn.

So is Ozzie gonna yell, "We're getting Thome back, (mumble, mumble)!"

to reporters right before getting on plane out of town? I think today might be the day, yay or nay.

i don't recall seeing this quote

in any of the chicago papers or on here.

ozzie: expect something crazy

Early you might see stupid things on the field and I will be second guessed. But I will take my chances

you are certainly one of the more ridiculous people on this board. ~ larry

Piranha-like comments get run in the Minnesota papers.

They adore Ozzie, as he adores them. “Everything in motion”. I can’t wait for Paulie and AJ to hit-and-run.

it's ozzie's annual tradition

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

i could see collusion

getting rid of the full time DH’s, so there’ll be little outcry to get rid of the damn thing altogether.

there's nothing the Catholics can do

I'd rather have Rios steal 50 bases than hit 50 home runs. I want production.

Baseball News

I recently started reading Craig Calcaterra’s “Circling the Bases” for league-wide baseball news and thought I’d mention it to all of you. It strikes me as one of the better general baseball blogs for incredibly up-to-date news, and Craig’s slightly warped sense of humor reminds me of many of you:

by palehose67 on Jan 25, 2010 8:28 AM CST reply actions  

Not to say that I...

couldn’t do a better job with fewer billable hours. I was going to suggest that Craig is just as acerbic as you, but who was going to believe that?

“I think it helps me out a lot,” Pierre said of his rapport with Guillen. "He knows I like to run. He knows I bunt probably in times you don’t think so, like a two-strike bunt. He won’t be, "What is he thinking?’ It’s good for me because a lot of times a new manager has to get adjusted to my style of play.
