Lost the batting title on the last day? Only 99 RBI?
That's a clown season, bro.
j/k
Glad to see Dee Gordon win the batting title. I like Kendrick a lot, but I do miss Gordon and his speed. The guys we got for him have definitely helped, though.
I'm interested in knowing how people define "run it out" when talking about a popup? A half-assed jog like Harper did (a half-assed jog in which he still arrived at 1st before the ball was caught)? Somewhere between a half-assed jog and a sprint? A crazy-go-nuts Puig sprint?
I get it, Harper...
It's either Greinke or Arrieta. I'd say it's Arrieta's to lose now, though. He's been so dominant, has a no-hitter, and is finishing strong. Greinke is certainly deserving, but he's faltered just a bit and then missed his most recent start. He'll have to dominate the Giants tonight to have...
No doubt Harper's a bit of a dick, but Papelbon's the Ron Jeremy of dicks. Sure, maybe Harper should have run out a routine fly ball, but that's something a great many players fail to do. Harper's been carrying that dysfunctional team all year - Papelbon should have kept his trap shut. He's got...
I freely admit my anti-Cardinals bias, but it doesn't run nearly as deep as my anti-Giants bias. Saying that, I would take Buster Posey over Molina 100 times out of 100. Yadi may be the better defensive catcher, but Posey's more than adequate and is one of the best hitters in the game as well...
Here's where I'm at with my goals:
* Topps Dodgers run: finished
* huge dent made in the Red Man project at the Natty - picked up 18 new cards. As a result, I will be doing all sets with and without tabs.
* took my T206 and T205 Superbas to the Natty. Talked to a rep at the SGC booth and...
* prior to the Natty, T3 Turkey Reds were not on my radar. Wasn't even thinking about them
* came home with two
* two more in the mailbox today
<---- happy camper
Injuries are a part of the game, especially this time of year. The Dodgers are dealing with their own, specifically Howie Kendrick. He's a HUGE hole in our lineup and infield defense. One can argue that Puig is a hole, but I honestly think that's addition by subtraction. The Giants also have...
First, congrats to Arrieta, and Mike Fiers before him. They both pitched fantastic games against my beloved Dodgers.
If McGwire isn't jobless by tomorrow morning then I will have lost little faith I have in the Dodgers front office. This team needs a shakeup in the worst way, and I would 100%...
A few brief thoughts:
* regarding managers: sometime a manager absolutely has to take the blame for how his team performs on the field. Mattingly is horrible, abysmal, awful. Seriously, He's really, really bad. Has he ever heard of the hit & run? Ring a bell, Donnie? Does he think that with...
couldn't agree more with this. Unless Kendrick's injury is more serious than is being reported, then I don't quite get why this move was necessary. Kiké is decent, we've got the kid we picked up from the Braves. Yeah, I'm not keen on this. Waiting to see who we gave up before I hate the move too...
Glad this thread came up. I have the base and Tiffany, and also a silver foil that I thought was a Tiffany without the gloss. I'll need to re-catalog that as a base card error and add a line to the wantlist for a gold-foil Tiffany.
For sure. I tended to stay away from their booth after getting caught near it on Thursday afternoon. I was at Mike McCann's table at the time and ended up leaving and coming back the next day to finish up looking through his stuff.
