  1. I'm certain Luis Pena will be re-added. Melvin has pimped him once or twice, he has very strong numbers out of the pen, and he throws hard with a huge, lanky frame. Crabbe probably will be added if he isn't called up in September. I doubt Heether, Bray or Salas will.

  3. I know Loretta did, but was he the last guy? Trent Durrington maybe?
  4. Free Mark DeFelice.
  5. I have completely run out of the expletives needed to describe this team.
  6. Our starting pitching has been a debacle, which is not something that could have been predicted easily by management early in spring training. As for myself, I would have said that starting pitching was the strength of the team going into the year, while the offense would go through fits and spurts. The utter amalgamated failure of Capuano, Suppan, Bush and Vargas is surprising in the least. What we thought was a strength going into the year is now a clear, clear weakness going into the offseason. Parra and Gallardo will go a ways to alleviating the pressure there, hopefully, but this team needs to pick up at least another starter before next spring.
  7. Wait... if someone died because of steroid abuse, and they used to wrestle in the WWF/WWE, they should immediately be tied to McMahon? That's totally absurd. To say that Vince may or may not have looked the other way is one thing, but to say he is directly involved in all of these deaths is absurd. I am no Vince apologist, but this is all getting pretty ludicrous. Anyone who wants to can blame their boss for not looking over their shoulder. I could put this on a much more grandiosely wholly bigger scale, but I won't.
  8. Part of me is disappointed to see it go, but most of me is happy I won't be tempted to tune in again. I do want to say that one of the common criticisms of the show was that it was poorly written - from a plot standpoint, unequivocally yes - but the writers created a pretty gorgeous palette for the characters. There was some hidden beauty in a number of the lines... I guess that's why I kept tuning in. The English major in me was turned on to the show just for the words themselves. So, I'll miss that. And I doubt they'll be much fan fervor over trying to get John renewed.
  9. What bothers me most about John from Cincinnati is that I have to watch each show twice - not because it was very enjoyable or because I want to catch some plot intricateness that I missed out on the first time around - but because I have no idea what is going on. The show is a jumbled mess. Too many characters, too many needless little plots. Deadwood balanced a number of characters and storylines well for the most part, JFC does not. I did find Linc's conversation with John from last night's episode very interesting, but the show's promo stated something like, "All your questions will be answered." They certainly weren't. The ending just made me more confused and frankly, I don't care if they renew it or not.

  12. I remember being angry we didn't hold on to Javier Valentin. I'm still a little miffed. What did we get for him? Jason Conti? In my only moment of radio quoteability, I said about him, "Jason Conti? Who is that?"
  13. I believe that if the '06 Cardinals won it all, all we have to is get into the playoffs.
  14. http://bluestormmusic.com/store/images/dylanbob_bootlegvol4.jpg I don't believe you!
  15. Wasn't I saying like 5 years ago that Nelson should be given a shot at third base? I win!
  16. I've been doing other things tonight, and just read about this... I care about it about as much as I did before knowing about it. I just hope he gets caught for what he's done.
  17. IIRC, doesn't the TV deal end after the '09 or '10 season?
  18. LaPorta will be able to play LF at worst as well as Carlos Lee. At best, well, better than that.
  19. This stuff isn't good.
  20. I have a good feeling about the guy, amongst superb scouting reports and eye-boggling production. Extend that production out to a full season with a BA 100 points lower. It is amazing for a guy his age. I'm totally geeked about the guy. He's my reverse Corey Hart.
  21. I truly think Matt LaPorta will make a difference for this team, and pretty soon.
  22. Claudio Vargas is a terrible starter.
  23. Something has to be done with Vargas after the game. He'd be a good long reliever, and still holds a lot of value for other clubs. We are too good of a team to have to lean on this guy for anything.
  24. With an off-season this off-season, hopefully we can push back Vargas' next year as a Brewer. This guy is terrible, and has just been lucky to be only so bad thus far.
