You can (with no extra charge) add the “M(F)AO” suffix to get yourself an awesome
ROFLMAO combo which adds the emphasis that you are indeed “rolling on the floor laughing” but also so far as to include “my ass off”
Add the F ROFLMFAO to use an f-bomb!

Chart it up! Game on!

pops-up and pisses himself off. He did that twice last night. It was pretty funny.

Lefties hit Vasquez to the tune of .250 some OPS points higher than righties.

So far our lefties are 5-9 with a hbp and our righties are 1-6.

I dont understand what the point of having Matt Brown on the team is anyway

At least Wood has potential, Matt Brown’s potential is a AAA career.

Wood atleast benefits

from AB’s in AAA. There is no benefit to having Matt Brown in the Majors. He simply looks horrid.

Zu said everyone would complain with Q or Wood

And I said I didn’t think so

Brown is huge step down from either of them.

Wood may not put up numbers right now, but he’s a legit prospect. Brown is not that young, and he’s certainly not good.

I'd bet money I could go back to the TB series and find a post of you complaining about Wood.

Am I on?

go for it

What I’ve consistently said about Wood is…

play him in the majors everyday

or play him in the minors everyday

but they play him sporadically, he does well in a game and then he sits on the bench so that Matt Brown can showcase his complete lack of talent.

wouldn't suprise me in the least

to see the Angels mess with Wood some more, and bring him back up for a few games after he just got sent down so that he could get sent back down once Figgy or HK is ready to come off the DL.

The Angels treatment of Wood the past 2 years has been pathetically bad.

By the way

Back when you were talking about Juice being in the game- who did you want him to replace?

Willits, Anderson, Guerrero, or Hunter?

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on May 15, 2008 9:19 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Hunter because he's right handed

by MH252525 on May 15, 2008 9:22 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Really, the .211 guy for the .298 guy.

Worst regular on the team for the second best hitter we have.
Really?

Vasquez OPS splits are SICK

its like a 250 point differential.

by MH252525 on May 15, 2008 9:35 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

So you would support Quinlan in for Kotch on lefties with similar splits?

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on May 15, 2008 9:36 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

depends on the pitcher

if it’s a left-handed vs of O’Day I’d want Q in there over Kotch.

But the difference between Kotch and Q is a bit bigger than Torii and GMJ

by MH252525 on May 15, 2008 9:40 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Also, you ignore that the difference between hunter's OPS splits vs righties and GMJ's

is > 300 points

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on May 15, 2008 9:43 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'm not ignoring it

I’m just attributing that to sample size.

GMJ is a better hitter from the left side than the right. His numbers will revert to the mean.

He was OK

as optimist says, shaky … but he rallied to pitch his best inning in the 6th. And he got screwed by the umps in the inning the Sox scored the three runs. He was essentially out of the inning on a DP ball but the umps screwed him.
