I'll never live that down.

Of all the reputations to have around here, though, I guess it’s not the worst I’ve seen.

So

how’s the Astros bullpen looking now. No Villareal, Wright, or Borkowski guaranteed. They better hope their SP doesn’t get bombed again

Shelton

doesn’t he have reverse splits? I wouldn’t mind letting him get some games in against RHP. He is considered a strong defensive player, is he not?

by clark on May 16, 2008 10:24 PM CDT   0 recs

His career #'s

Show he actually hits better vs. RHP.

My story

In 2003, I was an Expos fan when there was talk about Vladimir Guerrero possibly signing with the Orioles, I went over to an Orioles board to talk about it. I stayed around to discuss the angle about relocation dealing with Peter Angelos’ opposition to a team in DC. Starting in December of 2004, Ponson got himself involved in several off the field problems and he began being attacked on the Orioles board. I felt that a lot of the criticism was very mean spirited, so I started defending him. After he got cut by the Orioles, he went to St. Louis in 2006 and I followed him, going to a Cardinals board, and I’ve continued to follow the Cardinals even after he got cut by them. He was briefly a Yankee, then was out of baseball until the Twins signed him last year. He didn’t last through May with them before being DFA’d again. Now that he’s a Ranger, I’ve been lurking here. I posted a pic of me and Sidney in Seattle earlier.

MB was also an Expo

A good player when he wasn’t beating himself.

HWC

That was about the only way this game could have ended up with me being satisfied after blowing a 6-run lead.

by cmkelly29 on May 16, 2008 10:25 PM CDT   0 recs

Well, that was entertaining

Never expected Josh to get that last PA, but the drama getting him there was awesome.

best game of the year?

sucks for the 2-0 type shutout victories, but that was more fun.

Gerald Laird is my hero.

I like Max Power better

He’s Hambone and I doubt much could change that.
