"we might be looking at a reliever" - Scioscia two days ago
nice smoke and mirrors

flied out....
not sure where though.

Quintin was a injury prone Outfielder in the minors
they traded cause of justin upton, he was good but how long he stays healthy is what matterts
Maybe we should start one of those wave things?

Figgins-Kendrick-Vlad-Tex-Hunter-Anderson-Rivera-Mathis-Izturis/Aybar
I likey that lineup. Kendrick hitting second tonight
Where in case you haven't noticed, Howie's up to 3 HRs...
directly behind vlad.
Francisco Rodriguez: 190 career saves. 2 career Panthers, tied with Hector Carrasco.
I am honestly trying to remember the last Angels trade
for a starting player.
Guillen for Rivera/Izturis?

motion to scottnak: change Kotch picks to Quinlan
it’s only fair ;)
load the spaceship with the rocket fuel... load it with the warriors...
I didn't vote for Kotch ...
But that should be fair to switch to Q. You can’t expect the guessers to anticipate THAT trade?
Don't call me Desmond

True...
but their pick is their pick. Making the change would be the equivalent of them picking “starting 1B”
== Resident Point Tallier ==
harshness.
Quinlan automatic panther by virtue of single-handedly destroying pregame guesses.
scottnak hates Kotchman! LOL.
load the spaceship with the rocket fuel... load it with the warriors...
hehe... what do I care...
I picked Figgy
but what do you know, Quinlan first to first!
Goose eggs for everyone!
LOL.
load the spaceship with the rocket fuel... load it with the warriors...
I'm with you...
Unfortunately I never thought a “big” bat was going to make a difference. I guess we will see now.
I had a feeling all week something big was going to happen.
There was just too much diversion talk going on with reagins, Moreno, and Soth.
Tex might be the only 1st baseman
who is better on defence than CK.
"Hey, this is Victor Martinez..."
July F-Bombs remaining: One and a half
According to the Fielding Bible...
it is Berkman in Houston. It is a +/- type system. Kotchman was 1st in the AL at +10 and Berkman was +19 in the NL.
Jim Scully
you know it was a good trade when your girlfriend (a red sox fan)...
.. tells you how much they hate your team.
she must be really hot
A RED SUX FAN?
good Lord meng!
load the spaceship with the rocket fuel... load it with the warriors...
Their 1-2-3 was quicker than the top half!
"Hey, this is Victor Martinez..."
July F-Bombs remaining: One and a half
Q
I think the worst part of this trade is that we are forced to put Q in the lineup tonight….
When I was up at bat, there was always someone in scoring position, and that someone was me. -Reggie Jackson
Q is MUCH better than any Olliver Stone movie
"Hey, this is Victor Martinez..."

Then we are screwed.

this made me a little sick
Teixeira is a Scott Boras client. And early rumblings are that his initial asking price will be in the neighborhood of 10 years, $230 million
I heard he also wants a private unicorn to charter him to games.
Bora$$.
load the spaceship with the rocket fuel... load it with the warriors...
remember when boras was cutting the yankees out of the equation
and got locked out of his own biggest clients negotiations? and fired?
or when andruw jones couldnt get more than 2 years?
Translation: the league isnt letting Boras run the show as much as he’d like to anymore

Don't forget how we pwnd Borass on WTY.
Francisco Rodriguez: 190 career saves. 2 career Panthers, tied with Hector Carrasco.
omen: no
miracle: yes.
I’d be amazed if Quinlan looks “semi-athletic” tonight.
something about that boay ain’t right.
load the spaceship with the rocket fuel... load it with the warriors...
perhaps he thinks if he has a big game tonight..
.. Soth will give him more looks. This is his window to impress
jeez
so is our lineup suddenly powerful or what?
vlad, teix, hunter, kendrick, rivera, anderson
with figgins, mathis and ayzturbar doing the little stuff.
Welcome to the best team in baseball, Tex
You better play good and earn a better nickname than Tex.
Roll call.

even though he's of Portugese descent.

draws the error. interesting magic.
Francisco Rodriguez: 190 career saves. 2 career Panthers, tied with Hector Carrasco.
I agree
I voted Desmond-Desmond-Desmond but I think all Kotch guessers should have their Kotch’s substituted by Q. It’s only fair since Reagins finally decided to pick up his cell phone.

Quote from Teixeira...
...”They have the best team is baseball. I’m not going to go over there and make them any different, other than just hopefully add a few more runs. They have all the pitching they need, they have great defense,” Teixeira said.
“It’s a little bittersweet. I really enjoyed my time here. I had a great year here. I love this team. I love this organization. I love this city. It’s tough to leave. But at the same time I have a great opportunity in Anaheim and I’m looking forward to it,” he said. “The last couple days I knew it was coming, so I prepared for it.”

UCLA.
funny, to think when I was a student we were in the midst of an 8 year winning streak over SC.
load the spaceship with the rocket fuel... load it with the warriors...
haha!
glad to hear. ;)
look at it this way – would you trade the program it’s become for a win here and there in that stretch? I doubt things at SC would have changed so dramatically had that never happened (the streak).

Hahahahahahahaha!

No that's a genuine inquest finding over here...
