Hey, guys. Your gonna find no bigger Gamel fan that me outside of TLB, and I hope that's right and he'll be fine, but the higher the level, the better the quality of LHP and the worse his splits have gotten. Hey look, I'm on THE OTHER side of a Mat Gamel argument? Weird, And of course all of this presumes that Roenicke doesn't hate him anywhere NEAR the level that Macha did. -
His splits at AAA for 2010: LHP: .234/.337/.416 RHP: .333/.404/.543

Do y'all know something about Lawrie that I don't? It's certainly possible, but even BEST CASE, he's reminded me A LOT more of Daric Barton than Ryan Braun. Braun showed much more power at albeit an older age through the minors. Yes Gamel's still blocked and he needs to be platooned, but there's NO evidence that Lawrie's better and he's on the wrong side of the platoon/power battle. A promising hitter, yes, but certainly worth even a #3 starter straight up. Especially because his defensive limitations limit him basically to LF/1B.....now if he stayed at Catcher....
-
I actually do prefer Gamel and McGehee to Lawrie, but that's neither here nor there. This trade is all about need and a blocked prospect. Any trade of LoCain makes a hole in center that we JUST got fixed with his arrival. I would prefer finding more pitching help with Colby Lewis type gambles (Chien-Ming Wang?) than trading a Major League ready CF with a solid Minor League track record.
-
I might not have been referring to you. The Melvin thread was heated all summer. And who on earth would prefer Gomez/Dickerson over LoCain?
-
LoCain's still here right? Win. I can't believe how all year I heard "Impact Arms" and now all i'm reading is "Best Prospect" ....

Oh thank Melvin! Dodged the Joey Cora bullet yet again. Whew!

Movies everyone should have or have seen.

I would just like to take this moment to state I have always loved Bill Wegman. Yeah, I just said that. It so happened.

Oktobers and Harvests are actually my favorites. They're just starting to come out here, had a Fremont Brewing harvest at their brewery on Saturday and it was pretty good.

"If you can see it theatrically its a must. That film would play so well on the big screen. " Unless it's playing in 3D or on my phone, i'ts not cool.

Hey, you know what I finally got around to watching? Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West and good lord was it AWESOME. It's absolutely everything that a Tarantino film isn't. I had passed before because I was always rather upset that Fistful of Dollars and it's sequels were sloppier versions of Yojimbo, yet more widely acclaimed, loved and watched. Also since I just caught a good chunk of it on cable again, I would like to mention that I feel that Sky High may be one of the most underrated film of the Aughts. #3 on my all time superhero films behind Incredibles and Spider-Man 2

Born, raised and went to college in Anchorage. I have found it's a great place to be from. I wouldn't want to LIVE there . . . . . and earthquakes and volcanoes build character .. .

Sorry for strayin' to other threads . . . Best of the Oregon Beer Fest? Hopworks Organic Rise Up Red http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4083/4834678058_498f5f8387.jpg Of course the best beer I had all weekend was Lucky Lab's Super Duper Dog, but their beer at the fest, the Summit IPA was horrid.http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4108/4840680245_734073f88a.jpg

I would say Washington has caught up with Oregon at this point as the Summer WABL Beer Fest list shows . . . . Oregon (especially PDX) has grown cut-throat in the competition (Roots folded last month, Hopworks buried them). In Washington there's still a feeling of camaraderie. Everybody has a competitor's tap at their breweries and I heard a great story when i checked out the brand new Airways Brewing, that he brewed up a couple of kegs for the Denver fest and outta of the blue, the Boundary Bay owner called and offered to transport it with his stuff since the guy was just starting out. Oregon has a few great new breweries (Seven Brides comes to mind), but there's a TON more that are popping up just trying to cash in on the trend. I feel like I'm cheating on the beer thread . . . . .

Of course we have been hashing this out in the beer thread for years . . . normally it's my Cali bashing that gets me in trouble . . . I lived in the Twin Cites now ten years removed so I know not what it's like now. Summit and Capitol were the "micros". I've had one New Glarus, and several Goose Is. and was underwhelmed, not that that means anything to anybody. Of the four beers you mention, two are from California, which is an entirely different scene. The two Oregon Brewers are what we like to call the "Mid-Majors", meaning they are trying to follow in Red Hook's footsteps and go national. The best brewers don't even bottle their stuff. I would put these breweries up against anybody in the country. Diamond Knot Boundary Bay Amnesia Maritime Pacific Georgetown Hopworks Lucky Lab Ninkasi and those are just the OUTSTANDING ones . . . many, many more. To the point that it's reached an over-saturation point. Everybody has different tastes, but Micro's are a different world in Washington and Oregon. mainly due to the over abundance of Cascade Hops. EDIT: Fremont Brewing brought in an old Goose Island brewmaster and is off to a FANTASTIC start. Normally with this level of competition, it take a while to get up to speed.

Man, do I NOT miss the midwest. My favorite bars Tweet their latest beer lists . . .

strikeouts may or may not matter depending on whether or not you sat the bench on a community college baseball team or not. Also: Ritchie Weeks is a bust.

There was never a clear reason why Dan Evans was fired from the Dodgers. Except DePods was famous for being in a book.
