BTB is hosting an A.L. West chat session. I'm going to be a participant, along with several other A.L. West bloggers, as we field questions about the division.
Since it is over at BTB, it is geared to be saber-friendly, and it starts at 2 p.m. today. Feel free to show up and throw some questions our way...

I wonder
If ab03 thought this was the BTB I was talking about, rather than the Cowboys one.

Adam,
You just suggested that Andrus could possibly win the GG… Really?!
by BuckyB on Mar 13, 2009 2:31 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
and Chris Davis leads the AL in homers?
I suppose it’s not impossible, but really?

I had to come up with a bold prediction
I had to think for a while, and that was the best I could come up with.
by Adam J. Morris on Mar 13, 2009 5:30 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Here's the thing
Young won it last year, and he obviously can’t win it this year.
Jeter’s not going to win it again, most likely…even the GG voters are starting to acknowledge he’s not good.
Cabrera seems like the most likely candidate. BUT, given that Andrus is a guy who is coming in with a lot of fanfare (because Young is having to change positions), and has a reputation for being a defensive whiz, if he comes in and plays well and the Rangers end up giving up a lot fewer runs, I think you’ll hear a lot of talk about the improved defense, and that could give Andrus the edge in what is likely to be a tight, close vote with a bunch of guys getting a handful of votes apiece.

It was so tempting
To endorse your bold suggestion, and add that Nelson Cruz could be he AL HR king … but I stayed quiet.

well if andrus is supposed to better defensively then young
and young won it last year, then who knows what could happen?? It’s nice to dream, isnt it?

Hey now...
the Marx Bros. are awesome.
However, yes, it did seem like Adam was Steven Wright forced onto the stage at prop comedy night at the Giggle Hut.

I should say, though...
in effort not to give the other mods that participated the wrong idea, I am the biggest prop comic of them all and am a fan of the chats.
I suppose I just got a more serious vibe from Adam’s answers. Maybe that’s because, as we know…

Good job, Adam.
Am I the only one who thinks the Angels dude might have been a little unaware of other teams and reality?
by philkid3 on Mar 13, 2009 4:11 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
not unlike most angels dudes

Interestingly
The Angels did not have many followers at this chat. The mushroom cloud o’ statheads must not have blown south from Oakland yet

Absolutely
And I agree that their GM has done nothing very impressive (save the Tex trade)

I love that the Rangers are the least loathed team
Only 4% of readers hated the Rangers. Makes me feel all warm and tingly inside.

Unfortunately
Least loathed tends to correspond to least feared and least respected (also has to do with least recent success at winning the division). I’d like it more if the Rangers were much more loathed by division rivals for all the right reasons.

wow...
rereading that discussion was ’effin painful and only reinforced my opinion that most other sites are full of d-bags mainly because the guys in charge are dbags…
well done ajm.

sorry.
upon rereading my own comments that was a bit too far. dbags was strong. apologies to the other mods as i know its not an easy job patrolling/policing the boards. and with computer lag time being what it is, its not easy too be funny in an online round table…
mea culpa.

Sky is right
Do you really think that another team’s fans coming here wouldn’t think LSB is full of douchebags?

Just saw the Rangers White Sox game will be broadcast on mlb network saturday at 3. Presumably the white sox broadcast team, so get ready to her some “He gone” or “You can put it on the board…”
