Bart Giamatti That's what he tweeted. Yes but he stole that from former commissioner Bart Giamatti: http://www.nytimes.com/1989/09/02/sports/sports-of-the-times-the-green-fields-of-bart-s-mind.html
Lol. Literally said something very similar to my buddy last night when we were out watching the game. He is a casual baseball fan and asked who the guy with the dreads was and if he was an actual pirate in the off season.
I am still very curious to know what the A's wanted the Brewers to give up for Gray. I still think there's a big difference between a GM being young and inexperienced to not being willing to part with too much for a guy.
What trades were presenting themselves that you know he turned down? Seems to me like he significantly improved the current club without gutting the minor leagues- Swarzak, Walker, Vogt, Jeffress have all contributed this second half.
Of course not. That's the only reason I'm keeping this game on. You think Counsell will reward us for watching him manage like an idiot? Well yeah, probably not, but one can hope lol.
Loyalty doesn't matter nearly as much as who can help the team the most in a playoff push. Berry's numbers at the MLB level suggest a fair amount of success on the basepaths and I will trust Stearns on this one.
Heaven forbid people go spend some time with their families or outside on one of the few beautiful Wisconsin days left this year. Nope, that's great. Did that this morning myself. Glad that you see fit to speak for the pessimists though.
replace D'Amico with Gallardo and we have it. Our NL Cy Young leaderboard: 2008 5th Sabathia 2011 7th Gallardo 2004 8th Sheets 2011 9th Axford Thats it Good trivia Topper. Thought d'amico might have gotten a vote or two that season he was in the top couple pitcher in ERA (2000?)
