Or... we can have Hanley back in the leadoff spot where he belongs. Guys with .500 slugging percentages shouldn't be anywhere near the leadoff spot.

He was good in Dead Poet's but he's the worst voice actor ever. We get it, you are zany and cooky. Shut up.

Yeah, Robin Williams sucks. He's so freaking annoying I can't stand him... If you are going to throw a comedic actor, throw in someone with some range. Steve Carrel is a good example. I would argue Adam Sandler is a great actor all around, he's had some amazing dramatic roles (Reign Over Me, Punch Drunk Love) and he's hysterical. But I still would never put him up there with the best actors.

PS. Gaby is doing fine remember Cabrera 274 avg Gaby is going to be 24, MIGUEL WAS 19 Age and playing level doesn't mean anything to the people on this board. Is there any chance Gaby turns into something for us? In all honesty.

And it's just as flukey as it was here. He'll have a typical Randy Messenger .2 IP 5 run outing soon and all will be right with the world. I still make that trade 100 times out of 100.

It looks sweet, but since I just got an 80 gb iPod, and I have like 45 gb of music and another 10 of movies, there's no reason to get this. Plus I don't use my phone nearly enough to justify that purchase.

Is there a problem with me hoping Gaby will get a shot sometime in the near future? Yes. Why? he is not ready.

We could've won every game we've played this year if we had just outscored the other team. So close. Another dumb post I WUZ TOTALI BEIN SERIUS DOOD LOLOZLOL U COT ME1!!1

most would bunt and kim shoudlve gotten him out So we should've made Johan bunt?

Why should Santana not have tripled? Because he's a pitcher? what should we have done differently?

oh come on...you southerners cant even take a little lighthearted poke at your beloved nascar?...point being...this is PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL here...and Mr. Dukes cant even dream of handeling himself like a professional...so why bother? Jesus christ, you are some kind of bigot, man. For all the preaching you do about how closeminded and racist and intolerant republicans are, you are just as bad. I'm from South Florida. We could care less about Nascar here.

"Cobb once slapped a black elevator operator for being "uppity." When a black night watchman intervened, Cobb pulled out a knife and stabbed him (The matter was later settled out of court)." Ty Cobb. One of the best ball players ever. Led his team to three world series. Widely disliked on his own team. Once beat up a fan who called him a "Half-n****r". Guy was a total f***ing scumbag. Apparently he wouldn't even be allowed on a major league roster now. FYI...between the early 1900's and 2007...a few social things happened wihich made guys like ty cobb go into nascar rather than a career in baseball I respectfully disagree. Also, yet another stupid closeminded comment from JimmyJack. Awesome.

come on junior...he didnt sound like a raving looney bin to you? if not...listen again He has issues. Doesn't make him the next O.J. or a clubhouse cancer. but we could just as easily grab someone else without any lingering doubt for fans, teammates, and front office people that wouldnt have to be watching his every little move You are either implying that he's going to rape someone if there isn't someone always watching him, or he's going to murder someone under the same circumstances. Do you honestly believe he's just going to murder someone? I mean, really?

Dukes could have bombed an elementary school and I would still want him in CF over Amezaga. I lol'ed at this almost as hard as I have been at JJ's last few posts. Should I really go into why I like Jeremy Hermida again? And why comparing him to Ruben Sierra is stupid? It's not it's Jason Wood and I like his story. He's going to be a good ballplayer, and the fact that every other day there is a "loletsbenchhermida!11" thread it stupid. no...we dont need to read your nuthuggery again...and why is comparing hermida to sierra stupid? sierra has had a fine career and has a pretty high OPS since that is your end all be all stat...and im not saying bench hermida...i just want certain people in here to stop overrating him...and this isnt about hermida...this about potentially acquiring a cancer...having dukes around is like smoking 10 packs of cigarettes everyday and wondering why you cant breathe...there are vastly better options out there Ruben Sierra's career OPS is .765. The most he ever walked in a season was 60 times. Hermida's going to double those walks in time. Thats what you don't understand about Hermida. Dude is going to be an OBP machine. He may never hit 25 homers in a season, but he's going to be extremely valuable because he's going to walk a ton. What cancer? What distraction? Is Miguel Cabrera going to stop hitting the crap out of the ball because Elijah Dukes might get arrested? No. no...but do you think miguel wants to answer "why did dukes get arrested last night" questions day in, day out No, but do you think it's going to even have a negligible effect on his performance? Baseball is a game where the individual is much more important than the team, because you don't have to play together to be successful. Miguel's going to get his hits whether or not we have Dukes. But Dukes is going to get a lot more hits than anyone we can throw out in CF, and thats why we need to get him and worry about the other crap later.

first of all...how is comparing an accused murderer to a potential murderer borderline racist? because they are both black? well...i dont want to let the cat out of the cave you are living in...but murderers come in all shapes, sizes and professions...and ok...when jeremy hermida makes an all-star team...ill agree with you...until then...he is just another prospect getting overrated by fans who would love to go down on him and his "big bat" AH, so players have to make all star teams in order to be good major league ball players. Hanley sucks then, huh? It's probably not borderline racist, but with you I'm not really sure. You draw some of the most ridiculous parallels where there are none. He's the next O.J., give me a break. The difference is OJ was actually incarcerated for being a gang member early on in his life. And just like Dukes has never been arrested, OJ was found innocent. Regardless of what you feel about it, they've never been punished for their accused crimes. At best your statements are downright slanderous.

Yes, let's applaud a man for doing what he's supposed to be doing. What a great human being. Since he takes care of his children, I definitely want him on the team now. How many arrests have been made? What has he done to the league itself? All there are are allegations. I'm not saying Dukes is innocent at all because he probably isn't. But if guys like Kenny Rogers still have jobs in this league, a guy like Dukes should not have problems finding a new team to play for. kenny rogers pushed a camera out of his face...not exactly getting every girl he meets prego, or threatening lives or anything like that...you do realize that dukes is probably headed down the same path as O.J. right? hell...the guy is one rude comment away from murdering someone...ill pass I'm not sure if this is borderline racist or just stupid. Probably just stupid. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. If we're trying to win RIGHT NOW we don't exactly have the roster to get it done RIGHT NOW. So you're implying that adding Dukes will make us championship contenders right away? XMFD. Sure, let's pick him up. Then when he goes on an 0-15 slump and is hitting .220 with a error every now and then, let's call for his head. People who are so quick to defend Dukes are the same ones who hate and criticize Hermida even though they're on the same boat. Except Hermida doesn't have a bunch of "babies mommas", hasn't threatened to kill anyone, hasn't had any restraining orders put against him, hasn't had sex with a 17 year old, and doesn't throw Gatorade bottles at people out of anger. But who cares, lets get Dukes because he can play centerfield, he's a highly touted prospect, and will make us a contender guys! I defend Hermida more than anyone on this board and I want Dukes. These two things have nothing to do with eachother. Just because a lot of idiots hate Hermida because he didn't pull a Hanley Ramirez and set the world on fire right away doesn't mean we shouldn't get Dukes. Jeez, what a douche. That guy is doing absolutely nothing to turn his life around. Waste of talent. why is it that if people dont agree with you, swifty and benched, that we are idiots?... Because it's an underinformed and knee jerk reaction.

How bout putting Cabrera back in the outfield and moving Boone to Third? That would make sense except........that would mean that everyone's favorite .220 hitting 23 year old would be benched. Also, I wonder if Cabrera would pitch a fit or not. You get better and better every post. I love it. So Cabrera is "too fat" to play third according to most everyone on this board, and you want to put him in the outfield? That's ridiculous.

Another way to look at it. Olivo could have pulled a Miggy. Just let the ball go by without making an attempt on it at all. "If you don't touch it, it can't go as an error." Alot like that double he let go by Saturday night. Again. Ah yes, the old "Miguel Cabrera doesn't like to go after balls so he doesn't get an error, and thats why he, like leads the league errors" argument.

But if guys like Kenny Rogers still have jobs in this league, a guy like Dukes should not have problems finding a new team to play for. I agree. I'm just happy it's not here. Ok. Even if he fixes himself up, finds Jesus and turn to a life of good, you still wouldn't want him? Thats bulls***. And here's the thing, he'd be just as productive as an ass as he would be if he were a saint. And thats all that should matter on the field.

Yes, let's applaud a man for doing what he's supposed to be doing. What a great human being. Since he takes care of his children, I definitely want him on the team now. Let's make a guy out to be the devil for making mistakes when he was young (which a ton of people in his situation have) and make up a bunch of bulls*** about him not trying to get help and then ignore an article that says that he asked the Devil Rays for help because we have a blind hatred of a guy for no reason.

Woops, double post.
