Mike Lowell is batting .235 for the last 30 days, and .125 for August (I know only 2 days). Did Castro have anything to do with that! Let's play some baseball.

If the feeling is that certain players "deserve" to be traded to certain teams, than wouldn't it follow that Pedro Martinez deserves to be traded to Tampa Bay? He could then look at Don Zimmer every day!

Let's see, a columnist writes a column disagreeing with a comment that Guillen made. Another reporter asks Guillen his opinion of that column getting the exact reaction he wanted so that he could write a column. Everyone got what they wanted and now we're complaining about it. Barrett's suspension is over the first game of the White Sox series with the Cubs. There will be plenty more comments where that one came from!

Does anybody read Marrioti? Maybe you would form a different opinion.

I just checked MLB stats, if I read it correctly, the most at bats by any National League pitcher so far is 38. There are a whole bunch of pitchers that have been in a number of games and as of yet have not been to the plate.
posted by INOALOSER at 08:06 PM on June 15, 2006
redsoxgray, I don't know if that would be true. You would have to know how many pitchers actually were hit by pitches this season.
posted by INOALOSER at 07:55 PM on June 15, 2006
If the top 6 of the top 10 are National League teams, doesn't that mean that the pitcher batting doesn't prevent being thrown at?

Selig must go!! Has anyone seen him lately?

You don't have to pass a test to get in, you only need to have a ticket. You don't have to like who your sitting next to. Everyone has different reasons for being at a particular game. In the end its just entertainment!

The article is stupid and bad satire. As long as anyone plays or is allowed to play baseball, that is their record. If we put footnotes on every player we dislike or like, the record book would be full of asterisks. Just play ball!!

timdawg, I heard that the World Series is going to be played by the two teams with the highest attendance from now on! Maybe the Cubs marketing department can find you 23 more worthy players by then.

In the past couple of weeks Barret has tried to pick a fight with half of the league. Too bad he didn't show any of that fight when the Cubs were recently in San Francisco!
posted by INOALOSER at 07:45 AM on May 21, 2006
Its always a matter of who gets hit and who throws the pitch. If Clemens or Shilling hit Bonds everyone would be talking about how a pitcher has to throw inside to be successful, and that's why those two are so great! Let Bonds take off his armor and then maybe we could really see how brave he really is!

"malice aforethought", believe me, I am impressed!

Yea, I do! Just because National League pitchers have to bat doesn't make them any better or tougher. The next time the National League wins a World Series game let me know. By the way thanks for counting, I didn't know I called Pedro out that many times.
posted by INOALOSER at 08:25 AM on May 04, 2006
Pedro would have handled it differently, he would have yelled at Kendall to sent out his father so that he could beat the hell out of him. Everybody should just shut up and play baseball!!

Ozzie himself said that "he would rather be lucky than good". Right now he's in the right place at the right time. The test will come over a number of years, including this one! He has everything he needs to win again. We'll see how his luck holds out.

The ball should thank God every night that it didn't end up in Pedro's hands!!
posted by INOALOSER at 09:43 PM on April 27, 2006
I hope he makes 50 too, although at that age he'll have to watch out for Pedro, he likes to beat on old men!!!

A-Rod has his own special ritual, he goes home every post-season series.

"the Cubs haven't had any consistency since the days of Ernie Banks" - just what every Cub fan wants to here - let's relive the Cubs of the 50's and 60's. Check their record for that period, than again maybe they are reliving that era!

No matter how many home runs Barry Bonds hits, Babe Ruth was the first superstar of baseball. Yankee Stadium, the house that Ruth built. Bonds ultimate test will be how he is remembered in history!

Everything should be alright, unless somebody over sixty is on the field, then Pedro has a free shot!

Right now the only thing rich about the Cubs is their owners!

Please leave Charlie Hough alone. He did his job. He taught Dickey the knuckleball to extend his career. That's exactly what happened, his career was extended 1 game!

So the Devil Rays haven't won in 8 years. The Cubs haven't won in 98 years, yet nobody wants to change their name!

Doesn't MLB already provide extra protection for Bonds? They made an exception for him to wear extra armor on his arm so he can lean over the plate.
posted by INOALOSER at 03:26 PM on April 05, 2006
Bonds has no respect for any of us, and has even told us that over and over again. Now we should be concerned about him? Who cares!!!
posted by INOALOSER at 10:47 AM on April 05, 2006
Every time Bonds comes to bat, no matter what the situation, he should be walked! Maybe then he'll leave and let us have our game back.

There's only room for only so many selfish, self- centered pricks on any one team. With the addition of Damon maybe the Yankees were above the limit.

Grrrlacher, the next time A-Rod is in a meaningful fantasy game I'll use his statistics!
posted by INOALOSER at 03:56 PM on March 18, 2006
I'm confused, I thought A-Rod is the biggest loser in the history of sports.
posted by INOALOSER at 10:59 PM on March 17, 2006
I'm just happy that the White Sox were able to win a World Series before its meaning got diluted by all of this dream team as if Olympic competition. Let everyone play 162 games and then see who's still standing!

Bonds won't be punished because Bud Selig deems that as "in the best interest of baseball". Money is the best interest of baseball.

Its just the A-Rod factor - put him on your team and you loose.

hey, you mean Bert Blyleaven didn't make it again !

Hey, I looked up Bert's stats. I forgot he played with the Pirates. You can let him in!
posted by INOALOSER at 07:54 AM on December 07, 2005
Weedy, are you saying the criteria that that Bert seems to be judged by is wins and loses?
posted by INOALOSER at 08:03 PM on December 06, 2005
Hey, thanks for the grammar lesson. Bert's still not in the Hall of Fame.
posted by INOALOSER at 09:53 PM on December 05, 2005
I don't dislike Bert, just don't think he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, and so far neither does the Hall of Fame.
posted by INOALOSER at 08:39 PM on December 05, 2005
Don't forget Bert Blyleven, you just have to take him!
posted by INOALOSER at 04:10 PM on December 05, 2005
Wow, so Bert's better than Catfish Hunter, and Steve Calton! Can we revoke their Hall of Fame credentials to make room for Bert? One statistic was invented long before adjusted ERA, wins and losses. Next season when your favorite team goes 70 and 92, check their adjusted ERA and get back to me. If you like statistics, 287 wins and 250 loses over 22 seasons is 13.045454 wins and 11.363636 loses per season. Is that Hall of Fame?
posted by INOALOSER at 04:06 PM on December 05, 2005
Let's quite playing the World Series because wins and losses are a terrible to judge who is the champion. This isn't T-ball, get off it!
posted by INOALOSER at 09:51 AM on December 05, 2005
Somebody must have been able to hit his curveball, he did loose 250 times. Maybe you weren't at those games.

Good argument, let's put him in the Dutch wing of the Hall of Fame!
posted by INOALOSER at 08:50 AM on December 05, 2005
Hey, I'm sorry. I was being inflexible and cold hearted. Maybe we can get Bert into the software development wing of the Hall of Fame, or how about the I just threw a curve ball and it landed 367 feet away wing!
posted by INOALOSER at 08:27 AM on December 05, 2005
He played long enough to win 300 games, he didn't. End of argument!
posted by INOALOSER at 08:03 AM on December 05, 2005
Its a good deal for the Yankees! His entire contract is only 3/4's of what A-Rod makes in a season. The other upside is that he sucked in the post-season too, which will take all the attention off of A-Rod's post-season performances.
posted by INOALOSER at 07:06 PM on December 02, 2005
I always thought the Red Sox had no balls! Now at least they have one.

If Damon gets 7 years with the Yankees , maybe I can get three years out of them. My throwing arm is shot too!

The rule is the rule, we make an exception, we change the rule. Talent and circumstances have nothing to do with anything. Joe Jackson had more talent and class in his little finger than Crybaby Rose. We're all responsible for what we do.

All these so-called heros did everything to give themselves an advantage ( to make more money) in baseball, and the only thing that bothers you is that Canseco snitched? Let's quit playing baseball and form a rollerball league!
posted by INOALOSER at 07:39 PM on November 17, 2005
Maybe this is the curse of the Rodrigo - as long as A-Rod is the most valuable of the Yankees they will never go to a World Series, much less win one.

Unless they eliminate the American League from World Series competition, the Braves will never win a World Series! They can't even make it out of the first round. Play amongst yourselves, and tell each other how good National League play is - and then watch the failure in the World Series.
