I was happy to know that

Fabregas is so important for them. They looked just terrible without him. Also, Walcott’s emergence rocks. Hopefully they’ll be able to pick up that holding CM they lack in the winter window and won’t have lost too much ground or be in trouble in the CL by then.

Arsenal

I know Arse are a classy team and all, but man my Rovers just looked terrible on transition. I’m not getting a good feeling of the Ince Era. We don’t correct this slide we’re on, we’re going to finish closer to relegation than a UEFA Cup spot

I didn't get to watch this morning

but it sounded like Rovers missed some huge chances early that could have made it a different game. UEFA Cup spots could get pretty tough to get if Man City turns into Chelski 2.

Somehow, LAAA has the best record in the AL, so they’ll face the wildcard team, I believe.

In the song “All Good People” … when Yes sing “Don’t surround yourself with yourself” are they talking about ML mgrs not filling out their line-ups with gritty veterans like they used to be? And when Yes sings “Move me on to any black square” are they specifically referencing Worsh?

How do they see what TT has if they catch Laird these last games

Makes no sense to me, I think TT should be the starting catcher anyway, but then thats just me i guess.

by TRFAN on Sep 13, 2008 3:29 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

TT

I think the Rangers have seen enough. Tea will be the the starting day Catcher next year if all things go to plan. Salty and Laird traded with a Melhuse type backing up Teagarden

by Hypo-Luxa on Sep 13, 2008 3:34 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

And

Ramirez might be splitting time at C and DH. I’m becoming less and less enthusiastic about the idea of resigning Bradley. He has been so injury prone and fragile that I would be hesitant to commit to a long-term contract. Maybe two years, but no longer.

In the case that Bradley goes elsewhere, I think the tandem of Teagarden/Ramirez makes a lot of sense.

by stephen86 on Sep 13, 2008 3:47 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

if bradley leaves

then you can keep 3 catchers (tea/salty being the main tandem) and max can just dh

by tangiers on Sep 13, 2008 3:50 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

All three?

I would prefer to not see all three young catchers (Teagarden, Ramirez, and Saltalamacchia) at the major league level, unless Saltalamacchia is playing everyday at first and Ramirez everyday at DH. I would rather see them playing at AAA on an everyday basis than I would see them sitting on the bench in the majors next season. Just person preference, but I feel all three need to be getting as many at bats as possible at this stage of their development.

I’m thinking he’s a bust, altogether.

Salty is having an up-and-down year. Barton is having an eye-opening year.

You know, I've gotten to where I dread Scott Feldman starts

Not because I don’t like watching him pitch, but because it’s almost assured that there’ll be a bunch of bloop hits/errors (or both) usually leading to a late meltdown, and of course an utter lack of offensive support.

ERA north of 5 again.

granted hes past his innings limits and tired, but I dont tihnk he should be gifted a rotation spot for his decent run. harrison/hurley/feldman are on equal footing for 2009 to me. perform in ST.

Yeah

And his FIP is actually 5.35, so not very much of that can actually be blamed on his defense. His WHIP also seems to be inching toward 1.5 – you may be right about not locking him into the ’09 rotation.

Woah, I’ve been sitting here posting sporadically, and besides me, no posts after boomer. Then I bail out to the main page, and see 65 new posts, come back in the GDT, and welp, I wasn’t posting to myself.

Very odd…

haha

i picked him up this morning for the championship push.
its a head-to-head points league, like football. if he gets a win or even pitches a quality start with a reasonable WHIP he helps me out. i’d say probably 20% of feldman’s starts this year wouldve resulted in negative scoring in this format, so i felt it was worthwhile risk as long as he didnt have a boston repeat.

going against OAK in OAK, given feldman’s splits against the As i thought it would be okay. but oh i was wrong

If SC had a good RB or if Spurrier would leave just one QB in the game SC would have won.

SC almost came back at the end, and really with some better play calls and consistency they would have won. the rb/wr/qb werent on the same page at times.
