  1. Anything other than an A is just wrong. Ned's done a fine job and ran his team very well, especially considering the injuries and Turnbow's fall from grace. I think it is pretty apparent when Cecil Cooper can't get through a half-season without his players questioning his moves to the press, and that we have not seen anything like that in Yost's 5.5 year tenure...not even a released player complaining, if memory serves. He might get an extension at any time, especially if Mark is concerned about the ATL rumors.
  2. Of those names, I see Bradford as being a real possibility. The others are either not any better than what we have or likely unavailable.
  3. 14 straight? That's Ramblings material my friend! Your residual check is in the mail.
  4. Too many, at least for 9/1. 2-3 pitchers, a 3rd catcher, and a couple others, probably Stocker. 3-4 more as their seasons wind down. I don't know if they'd add Gamel or not...if they do, it could well be on 8/31... I can't imagine Turnbow unless he turns it around.
  5. The Rivera HBP or not was stranger than strange...what did Hurdle say that got the call switched? Awful and terrible, and they're getting worse every day.
  6. All the Cubs games will be 43-44K, and this weekend will average about 42K. The other 26 games will have to average about 37200...I think they'll do it.
  7. 18 holes takes about 4 hours, doesn't it? That's a big part of your waking hours. I found it so dull I quit after one summer. Just hit the ball to hit it again, as George Carlin said. I just didn't get it.
  8. They'll reorganize and probably come out much stronger, as they'll settle their debts for 50-70 cents on the dollar. As Ben says, they have a good model, just grew too quickly and got carried away.
  9. I said Bush just a while back, but as of now, you'd have to say Seth to the 'pen and Mota to the DL or DFA'd (or maybe Stetter to AAA, if Mota figures it out).
  10. I am on record as saying every crew has been awful this year. I don't see any hustle, any concern about being correct, and any clue as to positioning. Simply put, if it's a close call on the bases, it's probably wrong. How many missed HR calls can you have in a single year...we're already in double digits. They are awful, frighteningly bad, and getting worse every day. Wait 'til it gets hot out. It seems apparent no one is watching the store, as there is no accountability at all. An ump physically runs into a manager, he gets a game off...whoop te frickin' do. The mere idea they still let McClellan work with that slow call is an embarrassment. I'd seriously think about starting over, as I doubt we'd notice a bit of difference. I can make bad calls too, just like the "pros".
  11. I would think the other two would be made available, but not Sherill.
  12. Pan Am is Mark A's son's band. No idea about the name of the song though.
  13. Every team loses games, many of the ones listed aren't even tough losses. Many are simply coin flips, and surprisingly, you win only about 50% of those. There is no clock or ability to stall in baseball, it's a different beast. The runs count the same in the 1st or the 9th...all the rest is for the lawyers.
  14. He does cough a lot. It might be a condition that is just not talked about, but if it were me, it'd drive me batty.
  15. ARI is in 1st place. Trading away a starting 2B seems out of place.
  16. The playoffs are when MLB makes their money, they do get a lot of the cash.
  17. I yam what I yam.
  18. I doubt if Prince goes anywhere for a couple years. There are always plenty of stopgap 1B available though, as it's so far over to the right on the defensive spectrum. Often, they are low power, good OBP guys, ala Hatteberg and the like, but a platoon of two guys like that isn't much below league average.
  19. He walks about 4 every 9 frames, not that bad for a southpaw. As a role player, he and Durham would be cheap and fill spots. They could do worse, but if a guy like Marte has been talked about, Taschner is a backup.
  20. I'm sure they've asked about him. I've mentioned Torres and Marte more than any two players, it'd be astounding if the Crew actually got 'em both.
  21. I see no benefit, and find it a bit, um, disrespectful to the woman, as she can make up her own mind. 1. What if they say no? 2. What if they say "we prefer you don't, but..." I did not ask either, and as stated, find the whole idea a bit outdated, to say the least. Her folks aren't going to give you a goat and a sheep, so I would worry more about asking your girlfriend.
  22. As someone who has predicted 3M since before the season began, I don't think 3.1M is a complete impossibility, though doubtful. My over/under would be about 3.045 right now. No, playoffs do not count.
  23. $90M is a lot of cash. Mark has admitted making money every year since he's bought the team, so I have little reason to doubt him.
  24. At Ramblings, we refer to that as "adding color". I think I did cover the gist of it though.
