Well...

LDS discussion thread

Quite frankly I’m really sick and tired of dealing with that church. I get their teachings shoved down my throat daily.

Plus, they just built a damn temple right by my house. Now I get to look at Moroni everyday I leave the house.

When Jojo Smith made up that name

I wonder if he figured that anyone who bought that crap was a moron, and he just slapped an I on the end.

Haha!

I actually had to google those letters a few years ago, I had no idea what some chick meant when she said she was LDS. Needless to say, I quickly ran the other way.

The book ...

Under the Banner of Heavan by Jon Krakauer is very enlightening if you’re kinda ignorant about Mormonism.

by shroomer on Oct 11, 2009 12:55 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah...

heard of the book, but never read it.

I actually grew up LDS ’til around the age of 12 or so. However being LDS in California is much different than being LDS in Utah. At least from my experiences.

Also my mothers side of the family is all LDS, with the exception of my mother now, and my wife’s entire family is Mormon. Add to that the fact that 45% of the area I’m in now is LDS and you can see why I said I get my fair share of their faith.

I think of myself as being pretty educated on the religion, although I’m sure there are some things I’m not aware of. I just disagree very strongly with it. Of course, I disagree strongly with all organized religion so take that for what it’s worth.

LDS

The guy I go fishing with is married to a Mormon. He always claims to be the “Crash Test Dummy” for all the young men going on their deal. Can’t remember what they call it. They kids all try to convert him but they are working against a professional agnostic.

I've read most of it

It’s funny because the definition of “lawyer” is “serpent.” I grew up in a northern portion of Wyoming that has a ton of mormons. In Cheyenne they go around trying to convert us non-believers. I’d actually take their visits and sit on the porch on Saturday mornings in my boxers, beer in hand.

It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.

Salt Lake City

was scary this summer in that regard. Luckily I lived on Capitol Hill so there weren’t that many, but still it creeped me and my roommate out. Everyone was very nice though.

Angels? So their players become more expensive?

Red Sox? Because the hatred for the Angels is so damn real…

Yankees? Because their success starts a new wave of the “The Yanks own the MLB” discussion?

Dodgers? Because those tv shots of Los Angeles MILF’s are so awesome.

See

I was just discussing that with my bro. The thing is, you will have lotsa chilly games at the beginning of the season up north if you move up the start date 2 weeks. But, the Fall chill usually only effects a few games if any at the season’s end. So, it might be best just to leave things as is, considering there’s no chance of shortening the season thru subtracting games or bringing back back frequent double-headers.

3 teams are through the first round

1 is yet to be decided between the current philly and colorado series. it’s the only series that doesn’t end in a sweep.

The payrolls of the 3 teams moving on are
Yankees - $201,449,189
Angels -
$113,709,00
Dodgers — $100,414,592

payrolls of the two still trying to advance
Phillies — $113,004,046
Rockies — $75,201,000

If our payroll stays at 68M, how much of a chance do we really have? There are always injuries and unforeseen circumstances, and that is where a slightly higher payroll and more depth comes in.

Do we need to get more depth in our bullpen and add another bat? Yes
Do we have a chance if we make minimal moves? Yes, a slight chance, but is closer to a no.

With a $68M payroll (if we end up there again), everything has to fall right. Like MY said in the EG interview, “The time is now.” Saying that, do we sign Nick Johnson – who tends to get hurt? Does he turn into the next Cat that would not have a place on the team in short order? This offseason is key and our GM needs to be able to address our needs and properly assess the players capable of filling those holes.

Nick Johnson

Unlike Frank Catalanotto, he’s actually good at baseball. He’s really nit much different than Milton Bradley, except he’s not a switch hitter. Also unlike Frank Catalanotto, he’s a lefty who can hit LHP’s (in fact, he’s actually better against LHP’s).

i like Nick Johnson

his health would worry me. he does seem to be a perfect fit for what we need.

btw…what is the Rangers current payroll without signing anybody and factoring in arbitration.

I tried to do some quick math, and found that it would be in the ballpark of 49 – 51. That may be wrong, but I’m not after perfection right now. If we have a payroll of 50M and management says they expect the payroll to reach 68M, that would me we have 18M to spend. I think we need to spend more. We have to get an IF backup/bench – a lefy bullpen arm – another bat that can provide some power and plate discipline, and I would ideally want another reliever like Calero. How much does it cost to get each of these pieces and how many years?

by NothinG on Oct 11, 2009 11:15 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I dunno about the math, so these are just some totally blind estimates...

But we need an IF backup who can play SS… that should cost too much. Also, if we can get Benoit back cheap, that hopefully eliminates the need to go after someone like Calero. I’d imagine we’re also gonna pick up someone like maybe Endy Chavez as insurance for Borbon. I don’t really have much of an idea of how much all that would cost, but hopefully it wouldn’t be more than 1 year apeice and 3-5 mil overall.

Maybe that gives us about 13 million left to go after a bat and a Grabow or Mahay? I dunno. And if that really is a decent estimate, I dunno if that’s enough for both a bat and a LHP. I really don’t see how we’re gonna fit somebody like Calero in there.

Nick Johnson made

5.5M each year the last 3 years. How much of a raise could he get? He played 147 games in 2006 with 23HRs and a 948 OPS. 2007 — out for the year. 2008 — played only 38 games with and 846 OPS (5 HRs). 2009 — 133 games with an incredible .477 OBP and an 890 OPS. He only hit 8 HRs in 133 games this year between the Nationals and Marlins. This is the first year in 3 years he played more than 38 games and he has hit for very little power the last couple years. Depending on the market, I wonder if he gets more than 5M/yr.

I think myself high OBP bats are gonna be in demand this offseason

Thanks to what Abreu did for the Angels, and what Milton Bradley did while he was here in 2008. Like Dave Cameron speculated awhile back, I’ve got a feeling Johnson (and guys like him) is gonna get a pretty good 1-year deal this offseason.

Baker got dealt to the Cubs

Hawpe has 2 years (well, 1 plus an option) left on his deal, but he’s getting rather expensive. I’d bet they’d rather deal Hawpe and let Smith replace him in RF, which is why I wonder if Smith is avalable.

Smith is a massive upgrade over Murphy

I’d estimate he’s at least a 30-point upgrade in wOBA, even if he doesn’t duplicate his #‘s this year, probably more. And if we did go get Smith, I’d assume we’d be dealing Murphy for a bullpen arm or as part of a larger deal.
