@Gareth: StatTracker sucks. @G: Stauffer, but not the rest of the season.

Who do you like for the rest of the season?…Maholm, Stauffer, Latos, Galaragga, Niemann?

Yahoo! StatTracker has lost its shizz.

Napoli is apparantly 1-4 with 1 single, Morales is apparently 0-5 with -1 single, 1 double, when in fact Napoli is 1-4 with a double and Morales is 0-5 (with donuts, obviously)

Get it together, Yahoo!

@big o: I was saying to sell him two months ago too. I think Rudy might've listened to me. Oopsie. I don't think his K rate jumps next year. @Robert: I'd give up Nolasco for Braun, it's not going to happen though.

Would you trade Lackey for Bay or don’t need Bay and stay with what I’ve got? The guy who has Bay also has Braun. Would you give up Nolasco for Braun? Or, again, should just hold with what I’ve got? Thanks.

@Grey:
re : 911 ….. cust hearin’

re : j.a. happ
read an article advising me to sell happ , cuz of some numbers like :
babip .242 , strand rate 87 % , era/f.i.p 2.68/4.36 & k/bb .

for a 1-year league , i might follow this advice .
but i have this kid signed for 3 more years .
i’m cutting him some slack on his current # of walks ,
but am wondering about his future strike-out rate .
he only has 65 k ‘s in 92 innings this year , but at every level of his minor league career he has shown one k/inn .

please look into your crystal ball and tell me what his k-rate will be next year and the year after .
no pressure ….. i won’t come looking to kick your azz , 3 years from now .

thanking you , in advance .

@Grey: Thanks. Nice to see J-Up enhance his tradeability tonight. He could still be huge but the risk factor nags...

@Grey: Skeptic that you are (at least regarding Wilco), I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

@Prince: I'd go with Cantu. @Tom: McCrutchin -- Ha! Gare Bear - Eh. @Robert: I'd start them all and Stauffer. @Corey: Rios side. @Steve: I would. Not really safe though. @JR: Rudy's liking it, I haven't even had a chance to get it yet. @Robert: I don't like it for you.

Grey, I hope you are still available. A trade was proposed to me. I get Bay & Capps for my Nolasco & Hanson. I don’t need a closer, but I do think I could use more power if Bay is going to turn it around. Your advice has been amazing since I started reading here 2 months ago, so I will go with what you think. H2H 10 team mixed. My team: Napoli(till Wieters heats up), Morneau, J. Lopez, Drew, Wright, Votto, Jones!, Rios, Cruz, Choo, Bourn, Aram, Beckham, Beltran.
Nolasco, Wainwright, Vazquez, Lackey, Hanson, Liriano, Price, Kaz(hoping for better), Hoffman, Hughes=holds, and floater for holds.
Would I be better off just trying a straight Nolasco for Bay? Does my staff take a big hit without Nolasco? In 9th place with five weeks to move into 6th. Sorry this was so wordy. Thanks in advance.

@AL KOHOLIC: Many happy returns and have a great weekend! Is that back to Salem?

If so, have one in the Red Dog for me.

A beer that is, not a fight

4 and haft innings as long as the home team is winning or 5 full innings if the home team is losing

By: Steve

Steve — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 03:43:29 +0000

@Tony Y: I agree, time they called it. That said, we got lucky he came back after the first rain delay. Maybe Tony had a couple during the break and thought the score got reset to 0-0.

By: Tom

Tom — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 03:42:31 +0000

So if you google “nicknames for Garrett,” you get

“Gar, Gary, Garry, Gare-Bear, Retty, Getty, Gare-o”

Gare Bear. Ha.

I am neck and neck for innings, era, and whip. Other team has Verlander vs CWS, Happ vs STL, Anderson @NYY, and Jackson vs CWS going. Please help me choose who I can count on this weekend out of: Lackey vs MIN, Liriano@LAA, Vazquez@MIL, Hanson@MIL, Price@TOR ? Thinking about picking up Stauffer@NATS. Suggestions, please.

@AL KOHOLIC: Too many cigars on an empty stomach?

By: Tom

Tom — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 03:31:09 +0000

Jones needs a nickname. Maybe the Pirate nickname was given to McCutchen too early. Just wait until McCutchen gets injured and we can call him Mc-Crutchin’. Actually, MC Crutchin’ sounds like a gimpy rapper.

Anyway, we should work on a Jones nickname.

As a Berkman replacement — Cantu, N. Johnson, or Prado? I most need R,RBI,AVG (I’m near the top of the league in HR/SB), so Prado’s numbers look good, but there may be something I’m missing. Thanks!
