Vote for a Vernon Wells trade

atomburn — Mon, 20 Nov 2006 01:49:32 -0000

With some much talk on HH about a potential VW trade who do you think it will take to land him?

There are a couple trains of thought here.

Use only players from positions that we're stocked at or won't get the time of day with our depth charts: Izturis, Aybar, Figgins, Willits, Murphy, Mathis, Bootcheck... and now, arguably, Shields

Use some of those players along with Santana or Saunders in a package, then sign Zito.

Fallen Angels commit Cardinal Sin

atomburn — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 05:17:09 -0000

I just want to come out and say I thought this was done in really bad taste. Merely an hour after winning the World Series, some snarky "reporter" posts this pic on mlb.com with the following headline:

Fallen Angels commit Cardinal Sin

I mean, come on, can't you write a better headline than that?

Are the players reading this blog?

This is a question I frequently ask myself. If I were a professional athlete and therefore a kind of celebrity, enamored of my own success and mildly narcissistic, I would totally read the best blogs about myself. Who wouldn't????

So, I wonder who's reading this blog and more importantly, who is posting anonymously?

Give your best analysis of HH posters and who they actually are on the team/organization.

Take it like a rookie

When Adam Kennedy boils over and tells me to bust my ass, I listen. Kennedy has a world series ring and hit the 3 home runs to get us there.

My prediction? Casey Kotchman takes this laser-guided advice to heart and starts to rake.

I'm calling my boy out to go dongyard tomorrow.

Now, give your diary a bit more thought, then give it another shot.

Extend Escobar's Contract

atomburn — Tue, 28 Mar 2006 23:56:11 -0000

The most Panther move to come is locking up Escobar for another 2 or 3 years.

I'm starting a petition, I'm starting a draft, I'm sponsoring a bake sale to keep Escobar under the halo. That's right, I'm gonna wash your car, dust your blinds and vaccuum your ashtrays - all to pick up some extra nickels which I'll promptly Coinstar for scrip. I'll do whatever it takes...

Stoneman are you listening?

This thread is dedicated to my favorite troll "numbtards." numbtards has impressed me with his vast reasoning skills, one-liners and comebackers. I selected some gems but feel free to add new ones as they are gifted into the world.

Our Mortal Enemies

atomburn — Wed, 14 Dec 2005 00:55:19 -0000

I know there's not much going on in our world of things angelic, but I was curious what you all think about moves our competitors in the West have made? I've noticed the Rangers being aggresive about acquiring pitching (for once.) They couldn't avoid it forever. And of course the Bradley trade to Oakland. Is this something to cheer or fear?
