Daps. Got one too, but it's a 7 3/4 that I need to swap for a 7 3/8. Also got a Lawrie T.
In the article i was reading the bastards mentioned him :/
I wish to erase that day from my memory.

It really is amazing what happened after that game. Before that game, the Pirates were in first place and they really looked like they had emerged. People were already giving Clint Hurdle the NL Manager of the Year award. Then it just tanked. Even the Pirates were buyers at the deadline, getting Derrek Lee and Ryan Ludwick for practically nothing. Not even close to what the Giants gave up for two months of Carlos Beltran.
The Pirates immediately dumped Lyle Overbay for Lee. Of course, Lee and Ludwick both get injured and Overbay goes back to the Diamdondbacks, where he proceeds to destroy everything pitched at him.
Incredible stuff.
Even as a Braves fan, I felt really dirty after that game. Of course, watch Nate McLouth remember how to hit 30 home runs now. Prick.

Loving that hat. I need a new Tigers.
He's the last premiere name on the market, might as well hold out and see if any teams get jumpy and up their offers.

Me too. It's right at the top of my 'caps to purchase' queue.

Happy that the city is finally getting put on the map, no offense to the NHL.
I know your pain.
Is it a lighter blue? Kinda looks it from the website... Can't wait to exchange mine tomorrow (and blow whatever $$$ I didn't throw down at Club Monaco's sweet-ass Boxing Day sale).

The San Jos-A's would be an amazing new name. Make it happen, the powers that be.

Bob Costas is on Clubhouse Confidential right now and he... doesn't know what he's talking about w/r/t sabremetrics. Almost old-man-yells-at-cloud level. That's disappointing.

The Mets contacted R.A. Dickey and asked him not to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Dickey said, "No thx" and is still going to do it.

Almost as bad as Larry Bowa talking about UZR.

Nothing beats Mitch Williams' legendary rant during a Braves/Reds FOX game about how catching fly balls with two hands is stupid and unneccesary after Fred Lewis dropped a routine flyball in right field.

I mean he said one area where he disagrees with sabremetrics is that it says a .280 hitter would likely get 28 hits in 100 at-bats at any point in the season.
At least he's not attempting to climb both peaks.

well it was unnecessary for Mitch Williams. I'm sure he just pointed at the ball and ran away hoping one of his infielders caught it.

when is anybody going to sign Fielder? wonder if he is panicking?
Sorry. But glad you're watching CC, hope you like the show.

Im fine with keeping it like that. Feels like everyone is leaving SF/Oakland lately :/

well, did you help him study before hand?
No, but we broke the normal format of the show. So there's always a concern about alienating return viewers.

Can't wait to see Dickey throw knuckleballs from atop the mountain, ball is gonna dance like crazy.

well it's pretty insulting to hear him say that he has doubts about Jeff Bagwell going into the hall of fame because of some "integrity" bullshit but turns around and says Tim Raines deserves to go in knowing full well the man was busted for cocaine. extremely inconsistent.
then Edgar Martinez shouldn't go in because of what? he's a DH??? really? Costas is still stuck in the damn 50s and I just can't fathom why anyone thinks he has any knowledge on baseball.
I remember going into this discussion a couple years ago, but I don't think the downside of being a career DH should be dismissed quite so easily. There's definitely a case to discount Martinez pretty heavily for that. I mean, I am not saying Costas manage to make it, but regardless.
Posnanski put his yes votes up today, and it's a pretty decent ballot (Bags, Larkin, Trammell, EMar, Raines, McGwire, Murphy, Walker) with the caveat that he has a "big hall of fame" philosophy. I honestly think Bags, Larkin, Trammell, and Raines have the strongest cases in this crowd (McGwire too depending on your take on steroids).

As a Mets fan I'm torn. On one hand maybe our #1 starter may find, in a moment of Zen, a way to get past the 5th inning, but on the other I what am i going to do with the indian bridesmaids in my basement what to do.
How are you stoned already? It's 11 oclock!

Yankees and Hideki Okajima agree to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training.

Oh I wasn't like "WTF IS BOB COSTAS DOING ON HERE", I mean, it's Bob Costas! It would seem like a fine idea for an interview episode. I was just shaking my head at some of his statements. And Brian Kenny was correcting him as much as he could.
I like the show!
