Yeah

My Dad’s wife is a Cards fan.

Twice now when he’s called to congratulate me on a Rangers win, she’s referred to Koji and Yoshi as C-youknowwhat’s.

I still despise Nyjer and the Brewers more, though.

Chinks.

I mean, I won’t claim never to have called Ichiro that in the back of my head a few times when he was doing super-annoying things to us. I’m not exactly mister politically correct. But it’s not like she has any actual sports-hate for Koji and Yoshi or any reason to, that just appears to be her default setting. And my Dad just rolls right along with it and does it too, which is what really bugs me.

He used to be classier than that. He raised me classier than that.

I’ve debated whether to call them on it or not. I know they’ll just get insulted and weird if I do. And I don’t really wanna lose talking baseball with my Dad – watching the playoffs together used to be an October tradition for us, and even if we’re just down to phonecalls and me wincing at his terrible opinions I still enjoy it. But I also kinda feel obligated to stand up for our guys. Koji and Yoshi are still awesome, and they deserve better.

he wasn’t mixing in his slider enough. He had Cabrera set up perfectly for the slider after throwing 3 or 4 straight fastballs, instead he throws another fastball. and, it really seemed like his breaking stuff was being located pretty well throughout the game.

it really wasn't that dumb

they had the chance to have a Type B FA pitcher that would get them a draft pick and help bolster the back end of their ‘pen. I don’t think many people saw Napoli hitting .320, and the Jays had a couple good catchers already when they traded for Naps, 1 being about 6M cheaper

by NothinG on Oct 15, 2011 11:49 PM CDT up reply actions  

Jays had Arencibia to give a shot at catcher this year, Lind at 1B, Encarnacion at DH

And also go Juan Rivera in the deal to use as a bench bat/OF. They didn’t really have that much need of Napoli.

My guess is their intention was probably to flip him all along.

by LSJ on Oct 15, 2011 11:53 PM CDT up reply actions  

Or that in full

We didn’t want Napoli, the Angels salary dumped him on us (:S). We’d already filled C and backup C with Arencibia and Molina (who we wanted to reach type-B) with the year planned as a development year, and had 1B/DH split between Lind/Encarnacion (also an outside shot to get type-B) and Rivera. All we could offer Napoli was DH work, and he indicated he didn’t want to be a fulltime DH.

On the other hand, our bullpen was bare, and you guys i’m sure know the jays hard-on for compensation picks, so Francisco was a perfect option for the Jays plans. We’ve ended up with a compensation pick from Molina, Arencibia a bit more developed behind the plate, Encarnacion settling into DH at cents on the dollar and Francisco, who we might keep or get a comp. pick for. The jays got what we wanted from the trade, meager though that might be in many peoples opinions, it’s just you got a bargain deal when Napoli went hulk on you.

I think it says something about the buy-in from fans in Toronto to the whole youth plan, but generally when other fans bring up Napoli, the almost universal response is “Hey, we got our comp. picks, best of luck to him”.

yep...

combine their stupidity of trying to start a RSN with the Rockets, during the NBA lockout no less, and their weak MLB roster, FO and farm and I am not surprised at all if the Rangers can start to really plant thier flag in Houston.

You have to be careful with that.

They don’t want to keep this team together for too long because all the players will start declining. The money needs to be spent smartly and they need to make tough decisions on letting some of the players go to free agency.

I don't doubt it.

Fun story, when Mizzou built a new basketball arena about 7 years ago, the Waltons gave the school a bunch of money to build it and they named it after Walton;s daughter (who went to USC)

And then it came out that the daughter paid her way through school and cheated so they had to take her name off the building and that’s why it’s called Mizzou Arena instead of Paige Sports Arena.

He played for... shit, I don't remember which club, right now.

In Japanese stadiums, the home fans only cheer during their team’s at-bats. While their team’s pitching, they sit and stay quiet, and whatever crowd traveled to root for the opposing team cheers. They all sit in one spot.

Well, in what I think was Franco’s first at-bat, in a deathly quiet stadium (must not have been many opposing fans), he hits a double. I think he might’ve driven in a run.

I go nuts. I stand up, and start chanting, “Juuuuuulioooooooo,” as if I were back at Arlington Stadium. The Japanese family that brought me is horrified; they keep pulling my shirt to try to get me to sit and be quiet.

But then Julio tips his batting helmet toward where I’m standing, and looks as if he’s laughing, and all of a sudden the family wants me to cheer for him every time he’s up, because they think I know him personally.

Wut.

No. Unless you mean the same in that they are all awesome. In which case, yes.

First of all,

that’s a fucking awesome formula.

Second of all, counterpoint.

Well, of course I would, because Bright Eyes is cool and good and stuff.

That there are bands better than Mumford

The Cowboys play the Rams at 3CT..and then WS G4 immediately after down the street…

They should move the Cowboys game up to 12..because it’s the ShitHead Rams.

Ditto

Drove right by that building tonight on the way back home wondering if they’d have something up but I didn’t see any lights. During the OU/UT game, the entire face of the new hotel downtown was lit up in scrolling team colors. Pretty amazing, I was hoping they’d do that for the Rangers but the hotel pricks there did not. Maybe next week when we beat the shit out of whoever we beat the shit out of.

It fascinates me how the first couple of seconds you can see it go spurt spurt against the back wall and then the pressure equalizes or something and it comes in smoother. - Closure GT on Aug 22, 2011

Pressure? If there’s any pressure it’s the pressure pressurizing the panty cannon.

I think probably the thing that has me most excited...

…the Rangers just won the ALCS in six games with the starting pitching—the thing most people will tell you is the most crucial part of a playoff team—performing well BELOW expectations.

If they can shore up that one thing, and keep everything else running just the way it is, this team becomes an unstoppable juggernaut.

Get to work, Maddux! We’ve got a Series to win!

I forgot how close Nellie came to jacking one to CF in the 4th.

overlooked stat of the night

The Rangers left 11 on base and still scored 15. Loved that the 3rd inning didn’t involve a home run. Good sign from the bats. I hope it carries over to the World Series!!
