Hey, does anyone want to engage in some banter?  ? |

Anyone besides us up for discussing a proposal to rename the blown saves category in honor of Eddie Guardado?

Well, I'm afraid that Francisco Cordero and our own Brad Lidge might have something to say about that. And what about rewarding points for most strikeouts? No, not the pitcher's strikeouts. The HITTER'S strikeouts. I say we name it in honor of Preston Wilson. At least Preston still has his sense of humor, asking for special security around his house. Why? "Because the NAACP has been picketing ever since I struck out five times on Jackie Robinson Day." Yeah, that'll do it. Our team sucks. Just like last year. Jeeeeeezus. What the hell's going on? Why the hell is Texiera batting .264 with 3 homeruns? I demand answers!

And what about a special category for stupidity? Pitching to Bonds in the bottom of the 9th today, ahead by two runs, a runner at second, two out, 9th inning, Wagner on the mound, Niekro on deck. "Let's see, would I rather pitch to the HGH Man himself, or pitch to Phil Niekro's nephew? I think I'll pitch to Bonds." WACK!

What I want to know Steve, is how does Brent have better pitching than you or me with two pitchers on the DL, plus Barry Zito on his staff? And don't go pointing to our roster to explain your answer. I don't want to be confused by facts.

We had two pitchers carry no-hitters into the 7th inning within the last week, and didn't get a win out of either one, even though both pitched gems. Well, it could be worse. Francisco Cordero could be our closer. No, wait. He's got three wins. And an 11.40ERA. But to tell you the truth, I haven't got time for any of this self-examination. I'm trying to post bail for our phenom (and next year's 9th-round freeze) Delmon Young.

Our scouts tell us your guy Delmon has great bat speed.
And while we're dabbling in metaphysical speculation, what the HELL is Bronson Arroyo doing going 4-0? Did somebody schedule the Apocalypse this week and I missed the e-mail?

Hey, don't be rippin' on my boy Bronson. Besides, I'm a much bigger (get it?) story that he is. I'm freakin' 3-0 right now.  |

I am wondering where is a comment on my new post-baseball career from esteemed GM of Me'nJoihmama fame. His banter is sorely missed on this site. I would also like to invite him to my next photo shoot.

Dear Shinjo-san:
You need to learn to correctly spell your first name. ;D
It is Tsuyoshi, not Tsuoshi. I guess we were unrealistic, expecting you to hit better, when you couldn't even spell your first name properly.
Ja, ne. Kiotsukete.
Sayonara,
Tomohito-san

I'm not sure how this forum works. Bobby D. told me about it.
I just wanted to say....to those of you below CTU in the standings...just how bad are your teams?
I mean, I've lost my # 1 pick Lee and 3 starters, (Sabatthia, Lowry, both in the 3rd inning of their 1st start of the year) and now Harden - all for extended periods. Durham is now down (as expected) Hunter & Feliz have been just awful.
I should have the supplemental #1 locked up, yet I'm in 6th place??? What's up with that. Please allow me to sink to the bottom where I belong....I've earned it!

Dear Spell-checker-san,
So I spell about as well as I hit. I look even better in a Speedo. I'm not sure what that proves, but that's my point and I'm sticking to it.

How is this possible, Brent? You've got three starters in convalescent homes and you're still third in pitching. Are we awarding points for bedpan usage now? Maybe there's a problem with the stats, or maybe you just haven't racked up as many losses as you would have if your guys had been pitching all month. Or maybe (and I think this is the case) pitching is just an absolute crapshoot. How many of us saw Bronson Arroyo moving over to that powerhouse in Cincinnati and placed him at the top of our depth charts? All I can say is I'm glad I'm not behind you in pitching or I'd be REALLY embarrassed.  |
