King Felix hits grand slam off of Johan...later gets hurt

This is either a mircrocosm of the Mets and Mariners' seasons...or just funny. Take your pick.

The hell? Armando Galarraga starting for the Tigers. Tonight.

And oh yeah, he's been staked to a 10-1 lead, and so far through 4 innings, he's given up a homer and struck out 3. Can we please quit trading/giving away pitchers for other teams? I mean, Chris Young, John Danks, Edinson Volquez, and now Galarraga. When we get some young pitching to come up through our system, we need to keep them, not just give them away for whatever reason (at least with Volquez we got a quality player in return, but we didn't get anything useful for the rest of those), and maybe take a chance on a young guy for once?

Morgan Ensberg DFA'd

A guy who had EQAs of .310 and .291 the last 2 years is available for the taking? Jon Daniels, if you don't do this, I will lose all respect for you and punch you.

I'm serious, we need to go pick him up and how. I don't care how mediocre his season so far has been, he's been completely mistreated by the Astros because they can't seem to recognize that batting average has little to do with how good you are offensively.

Matthews to the Mets?

He just set "our lineup" referring to the Mets on Baseball Tonight! OH NOES!

Yeah, probably just a Freudian slip, when you say one thing but mean your mother.

[POLL] Is the season over?

carterman — Thu, 24 Aug 2006 03:15:58 -0000

We've lost 3 games in a row to the fucking Devil Rays. Obviously, with Oakland continuing to find ways to be flukishly good, are we boned?

Ask not for whom the boner bones; it bones for thee.

Interesting Laird vs. Popup stat

carterman — Sun, 20 Aug 2006 21:14:12 -0000

Catcher ERA:
Laird: 4.56
Popup: 4.74

I don't know if that really means anything, and I'm sure that some more research could be done to try and check the validity of those numbers beyond possibly being a coincidence, but hey, just throwing it out there as something for the "Barajas Sucks" crowd.

Which I consider myself a part of.

Why I like Wes Littleton

carterman — Sun, 20 Aug 2006 01:44:19 -0000

The K and BB rates worry me right now, but he's getting over 70% ground balls. And the K and BB rates are going to get better over time. Basically, he's the nastymaker.
