Nothing wrong with Barbara Feldon
I may have been 6 years old but my pants walked all around the room when Get Smart came on television.
Props to Max over at 88.7 for playing Beginnings by Chicago.

They're a 3 piece instrumental band from Chicago.
Think Explosions in the Sky with the fat cut out, and more hard rock/metal guitar work at times. They’re fantastic.
As a drummer, their guy behind the kit (Dave Turncrantz) is phenomenal.

Cool
I got to see Pelican back in May opening for Isis. I must be the only person who’s into them who doesn’t mind the drummer.
The Isis song you played earlier tonight (which is one of my favorites) was their encore for that show.

I almost went to that show.
I saw Pelican with Circa Survive and Thrice last April. I don’t mind the drummer that much, but he does make me cringe at times, and I’m not usually a stickler for specifics.
Some drummers are, so it drives them crazy. He sometimes looks like he screws up his own beats. Again, I don’t mind it too much, but others do.

Yeah
I can imagine if you’re a drummer, you probably notice it more.
I’ve been to see Isis twice- this year and the 2007 show in Fort Worth. The only disappointment I had is that Jesu couldn’t get their work permits approved in time to play the 2007 show. I also missed seeing Godflesh open for Sepultura a number of years back (got to the show late) which frustrates me to no end, as I’m pretty much one of the biggest Justin Broadrick fans on the planet.
"I dont care to debate with a troll." - Sharky
Nice.
Yeah, aside from Pelican, Russian Circles and This Will Destroy You, there’s a ton of post rock I’ve needed to see. Sigur Ros, Explosions In The Sky and Red Sparowes top the list for now.

Sigur Ros
Do they ever tour the US? I’d definitely go see them.
On an unrelated note, the Tool show in San Antonio last Friday was freaking awesome. I could barely see Maynard, but with all the crazy shit going on the video screens, it was enough to watch those and listen to the band at the same time.
I heard from a co-worker that the show here Saturday was equally bad-ass.
"I dont care to debate with a troll." - Sharky
See, I can't get into Tool.
I know what they’ve done for hard rock and metal, and appreciate them, but I just never really want to listen to them. Russian Circles did open for them though, like 2 years ago.

Nick Johnson shouldn’t command one of our top 4 guys, if he does there’s no sense in even considering him. But given the current lack of interest in Sir Nick, I think it’s posible we could land him on the cheap.

The thing with Byrd
is despite his hacking/sucking this year, he’s still been decently productive and sadly one of the better hitters. I don’t think there would be such a huge problem if he were hitting 6th or 7th.
But the fact that we need to protect Ron from continuing to make a fool of himself night after night by playing Byrd and batting him cleanup is why Byrd has got to go. Ron will brush a night like this off and keep on throwing him out there, while coming up with some retarded excuse to sit Nellie.

Not bad for $500K.
Hes essentially been his typical self hitting wise
Of course at DH its far far less valuable than as a gold glove CF.
I do want them to get another bat in here to share time with him and hank, but he hasn’t been a disaster b any means.
the preceding post was a great success.
Because Hank can't hit lefties
And Jones can easily go into another 1-25 run and need to be subbed more.
the preceding post was a great success.
Blah.
All players have slumps.
He’s a .381 wOBA on the year. Only Young (.385) has a higher wOBA this year.
Ok but he sucked the previous 2 years and has looked pretty bad at times this year
He is highly unlikely to maintain THAT high of a hr/ab ratio that has kept his numbers solid despite the 235 average.
Look, I’ve been defending AJ a lot this season, I’m not one of the people who complains when he plays. But hes certainly a flawed player at this point and some insurance couldn’t hurt. Then you include blalock with his inability to hit lefties and sub 300 obp…
And then consider both of them will be gone next year and some of the trade options (some would be gone too) might have a role in supporting Smoak breaking in or whatever works out next year… it would just make sense to make a small deal to get another bat in here. Not talking about smoak for an all star.
the preceding post was a great success.
So he had a couple bad years but figured out his problems and fixed them...
He is highly unlikely to maintain THAT high of a hr/ab ratio that has kept his numbers solid despite the 235 average.
Sure… but he can still have very good numbers even with a decline. There are some guys on that list having great seasons that are a substantial amount lower on that list.
But hes certainly a flawed player at this point and some insurance couldn’t hurt.
Yes it could.
It could mean sitting one of your best batters when there’s no reason he shouldn’t be playing.
And I actually think there’s reason to believe that Jones will keep up something close to this .380 wOBA pace through the end of the year. He has easily the highest BB rate on the team, and he has a very unlucky team low .222 BABIP. No way the BABIP stays that low over the course of the year… and I think we’re seeing that lately with his averaging rebounding.
For fucks sake
why is last year relevent? Its pretty much an outlier in his career. He’s had enough ABs this year to say he is what he is. A very streaky hitter with low average and lots of pop.
"I saw a soldier try to dig a foxhole with his bare hands. He didn't notice that he'd torn off all his fingernails. I got him out of there quickly; not for his sake, but for ours. Fear is poison in combat...destructive, contagious." - Band of Brothers
Yep
His numbers this year are pretty much right in line with his career numbers with a little more pop. I don’t think the ABs he got the last two years are enough to drag his career numbers down that much so this is basically the Andruw Jones we hoped to get when we signed him.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Do you keep AJones the rest of the year?
If so, how do you fix the offense?
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Gardner, What you should do is tip your cap and then move forward with your tail tucked snugly in your gash."
Sure I keep Jones the rest of the year
I would just only play him sparingly and hit him 6th in the lineup when he does play.
As for fixing the offense, I don’t know. Josh Hamilton getting out of his season long funk would do alot to fix this offense by being a big bat in the middle of the order. Id hit Nellie Cruz cleanup even though I don’t think hes an ideal cleanup hitter. The only thing I think we need is a guy who hits LHP consistently and I don’t know if we can afford that. Whether it be the salary we can’t afford or overpaying in prospects to get them here with the other team paying the salary.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Do you move Hamilton back to CF the rest of the year and
see if you can get any takers (perhaps the Yankees who have lost Fuck Brett Gardner) for Marlon Byrd?
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Gardner, What you should do is tip your cap and then move forward with your tail tucked snugly in your gash."
I only move Byrd if im blown away
Like it or not the guy is a key guy on this team. He plays hard every night, is a team leader in the clubhouse, and isn’t hitting .230. Hes exactly like Eddie Guardado or Jason Jennings in the fact that you can’t just give these guys away to make room for some rookie in a pennant race without creating tension and hurting the clubhouse. I wish he didn’t hit cleanup or 5th in the lineup but thats on the manager not the GM.
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
Is it seriously a question to keep AJ?
he’s the best OPS and the third best OBP on the team. He hits both lefties and righties pretty well.
I get rid of Hank, since he can only hit righties before I get rid of AJ.
However, I’m not sure you can fix the real problems with this offense, because the big problem is you either need to snap Kinsler and Hamilton out of their funks, or you need to bench them half the time until their funks pass. Kinsler has been fairly crappy for almost 2 months now, and Hamilton has been useless since coming back from his injury. Sadly, its not a big downgrade to sit Kinslers Ass down for Vizquel over the last month, and sitting out Hamilton is an upgrade.

Ridiculous
Jesus christ, as if I’m over the top bashing Jones. I made a passing mention of his recent decline for context.
If I put that much weight into last year I wouldn’t have said get a bat to supplement him and Blalock, I would have said DFA him.
the preceding post was a great success.
Here's another for a glimpse

i kinda wish he'd save some HRs for when we actually need them
I think the last 5 or 6 HRs he’s hit have not helped us too much… BUt yea, still a good pickup by JD. Id like to see him only play against LHP though.
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
the three had against LAA in one game was in a game we won by 8
im just saying, alot his ‘value’ is in the HRs he hits and it doesnt seem like the HRs he’s hit have really helped us actually win games.. Of course, thats not really his fault.
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
LOL... ummm... yeah... we won by 7 largely because he hit 3 HRs...
The night before he hit a 3-run HR in a game where we were down 3-0 in the 5th.
The first HR tonight was at a time the game was far from over.
This is a silly point you have.
the last few HRs he's hit have not helped us
he hit terribly after that 3 HR night then he’s hit a few HRs recently, but none of them have mattered, he hit one against the Royals when we won by 5 or so, he hit a couple tonight. He’s been productive, but that production since that 3 HR night has meant almost zero to us actually winning games. It would be nice if our DH actually consistently helped us win games

on Halladay
10:19pm: As we learned earlier today, Rosenthal and Morosi say that Halladay hasn’t ruled out waiving his no-trade clause to come to the Rangers. The Rangers are optimistic their payroll issues will be fixed next year, and despite current difficulties, Morosi and Rosenthal wonder if the prospects might be good enough to entice Ricciardi to include money in a deal. Still, such a deal seems like a longshot.
Will JD bet the farm?

The Rangers appear likely to call up Warner Madrigal from Oklahoma City to replace Guillermo Moscoso. Manager Ron Washington said the Rangers are expected to make a roster move Thursday to reinforce their bullpen and Madrigal is 2-0 with a 1.83 ERA for the RedHawks. He was taken out of the bullpen during the RedHawks game against Albuquerque on Wednesday.

Yeah, they can't callup Dozer like AJM wanted
Because he started today.

halladay trade
you think holland, andrus, kiker/beavan, and some other lower level guy would fetch halladay and scutaro + some money from the blue jays?
would you consider it?
I will consider nothing with Andrus in the trade.

Haha
yes, this reinforces my opinion that some posters here have been doing crack like it is the 70s again
wtf man…for you to even post that scares the shit out of me, did you dive into an empty pool before posting that?
as someone said yesterday, if that kind of deal happens…i will personally finance Josey to do whatever the fuck kind of evil shit he wants to do to JD
really?
That’s a little extreme. Elvis is still all about potential. Do we really know what he is going to end up being? He is extremely young but he has never put up big time numbers in the minors.
Yes he is great defensively but right now, Scutaro and Elvis are probably pretty equal MLB players. By trading for Halladay, you are trying to maximize your chances of winning in the next couple of years.
If getting a SS back, I would trade Andrus ahead of Smoak or Perez. And trade one of the Holland/Feliz duo instead of trading both and keeping Andrus.
Basically, if you have to trade 2 out of the top 5 to get Halladay, which two would you trade?
to clarify
Im not saying go ahead and trade this package for Halladay.
Im saying what you consider trading that is realistic. And by realistic, I mean 2 out of top 5 have to be in there.
ARE YOU FUCKING HIGH??
Scutaro might equal Jack Arias, but not Elvis, and Elvis has realized a LOT of his potential already this year

lol you need to chill out a little. it's too early in the morning for that.
I'm just goofin' new boot goofin'
are you retarded?
scutaro is a better major league player than elvis in 2009
There has been talk that our offense wasn't as good as it appeared it years past
because of high scoring games where opposing pitchers weren’t concentrating. Last nite, certainly had that feel when we put a little pressure on Verlander when score was 8-4 men at 2-3 and one out. He just blew out the next 2 batters to end threat.
