@Grey, when a player is a sleeper two seasons from now he can be a January-January Grey Sleeper Post. So next season when Chris Sale makes a visit to Dr. Andrews and won’t be relevant on draft day until 2015 then he will be a January- January Post.

@Grey, I’m feeling a short film coming on, kinda like Moscow on the Hudson meets the baseball part of Bull Durham with the San Diego Syndrome as main theme going on throughout the 27 minutes.

@Grey, Cricket. ‘Track’ is slang for pitch, which is the mown strip in the middle of the field that the game is played on.

When the ‘track’ is said to be ‘flat’ it is supposedly at its easiest for the batsman to bat on (the ball does not deviate off the pitch and comes through at a nice even height and pace – like a constant diet of fat ones down the middle I suppose) – but these are the only conditions under which certain players can dominate.

When conditions are tough, or when it really counts – they don’t.

What’s the etymology behind that?

By: Steve

Steve — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 03:25:54 +0000

@Grey, Sure, now he does it. When it has zero fantasy relevance.

Round these parts we call that a flat-track bully.

He’s due back around the ASB, so August conservatively…

Imagine Volquez and Cabrera on the same staff… The bullpen would close their factory under the stadium for good…

@Grey, I thought he was may

@Grey, Maybe the Padres could try and turn Daniel Cabrera around.

Ha… He put a mannequin in his hotel room bed and then the next time anyone saw him was in the morning staying on a different floor of the same hotel…

Definitely Cashner, Luebke might not be right until August…

Need a Zubaz-sponsored strike zone…

@Grey, could hitters defect from San Diego, like former Soviets. I can see the headline, Headly defects from San Diego on road trip to Colorado.

@Grey, I see 14th round and back gold….potentially

Jack Full of Hate — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 02:18:36 +0000

@Grey, I think I figured out broxtons problem, he’s so big that the strikezone seems small to him.

You’re right, due to injuries I forgot about them… They didn’t have any pitching last year, but they could have it in 2013, you’re right…

@Grey, Lubeke? Cashner?

By: Jack Full of Hate

Jack Full of Hate — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 02:12:14 +0000

@Grey, glad I could contribute

Ha! So good… I agree with the article, they should’ve had a righty and lefty…

By: Grey

Ha! Yeah, pretty much… All kidding aside, it’s gotta get in your head when your park plays like Yellowstone… Even if it’s not conscious… I like that, San Diego Syndrome… Padre hitters start to think they’re bad even when they’re not because of their surroundings… Carlos Quentin was overtaken by San Diego Syndrome last year…
