Hell no, he is hitting .500 in the summer. This actually makes sense since we're a summer team.

This should serve as some comfort for those people who don't understand basic economics; you can always get a job writing for Bleacher Report or the Daily Kos. One doesn't work for Bleacher Report, one just write on it assuming one have a keyboard and internet access.

It's been 5 years since I changed my avatar (besides giving Mitre a bowtie)... yeah, this isn't going to do it.

No. And yeah, that's not how you do that OotP. And I'm betting you know that too.

This is like posting someone's random blog post. Also, the "article" sources the only thing with less journalistic integrity than Bleacher Report: the New Times.

Bleacher Report is a joke. It's the wikipedia of "journalism".

Jack said it best, "We're the Summer Team".

BTW, it's worth mentioning that I was sitting in front of Beinfest at the Rays game on Saturday and that is sure as hell not the face he had on. He was pissed.

Light those cigars! Jack McKeon is the guy.

Cogs was one of the few players during this streak where you could tell there was something seriously wrong with his attitude. No fire, just weak ground balls to first and second and acceptance. He was a favorite player of mine but he was the first player to really start annoying me in this whole fiasco. His whole body language was wrong, careless and remote. I hope when he comes off the DL he goes straight to AAA until he grows a pair. I'm also mad because the guy with the knee issue wasn't running hard enough.

It's probably a pitcher.

A friend of mine better connected with these things showed me two different copies of it. One was pre-Soderbergh and one post-Soderbergh. Neither has Sorkin's name on the cover, but the post-Soderbergh one seems to match the trailer pretty well. The film centers heavily on Beane, but a lot of attention is given to this "island of misfit toys" concept surrounding the players. Giambi's departure is a catalyst and then you see stuff like David Justice being considered the savior, Hatteberg being afraid to play first base, and Bradford being this super OCD guy with a weird delivery. This sounds good to me. I'm guessing the players are played by actors and not themselves? Yeah, though the original version had Hatteberg and David Justice playing themselves. On the plus side, watching Royce Clayton play Miguel Tejada should be awesome.

DeWayne Wise? That a-hole? (Yes I'm still bitter over his catch in Mark Buehrle's perfect game.) You're mad about a defensive gem that saved history? Get over iiiiit. When it happens against your team you can get back to me. It did happen to our team. I mean, not nearly as often as to you guys, but it's happened.

Yeah, what's wrong with this article? Its not like he made stuff up - he backed up his words with actual examples. Unless you count misrepresentations and lies of omission, then he was 100% honest. Absolutely. Especially about the Deadspin papers.

Man, he must face the Marlins a hell of a lot, because he's been pitching gems for years now.

Why are so many bad articles written about the Marlins FO? All this negative publicity can't be good for the team. Most of them are written by this same guy.

This is Jeff Passan's 4th or 5th hit job on the Marlins.

I might have read the script for this movie already. It might seem pretty good based on that. Seeing the trailer, one thing that irks me is something I've noticed in other baseball movies: the night games are too dark. They film those scenes at like 3 AM and they never use all of the stadium lights (probably to save money). I'm guessing it's more for dramatic effect. Also... how'd you manage to read the script? I'm a huge fan of Sorkin's, so I've been waiting for this for a while.

Eggshell.

can't find a good pic of him, but Josias Manzanillo. C'mon that obsessive groin-slamming had to attract the ladies, no? The story behind that is awesome. Share. A comebacker off Manny got him in the privates when he wasn't wearing a cup. He ended up losing one of them and when he returned, he always wore a cup. He was constantly so afraid that he forgot his cup that he was always "nut checking" himself.

In the newest article about the stadium Samson says stadium name will be coming "within weeks" aka after the NBA Finals are over. I'm waiting! We are all hoping the end of the NBA season means the announcement. I'm also looking forward to know the name of that sports bar. BTW I'm going with "stadium" in the name instead of "ball park." Makes it sound more like a year round place for events. I'm pretty sure Sampson said it wasn't going to be a 'stadium' He did. He was actually really clear about "It's not a stadium, it's a ballpark".

The two Mikes are great too. Mike Stanton is a big man, and has big feet & hands. LOL. Mike Jacobs was a QT too. I especially like that he is the father of twins. That takes a lot of parenting between he and his wife. I met her in 2008 at a game in the bathroom. She was a sweet girl, and about 3 or 4 of us girls were chatting with her about the twins. At least we think it was her LOL. If she was Mexican, it probably was her.

I agree with the Penguin there is already to many alternate uniforms. Last thing I want is teams having a thousand combinations like the Oregon ducks. I give you... the Houston Astros:

Seriously, Erick's correct. You though, are wrong. I know you hate the Yankees because your a Rays fan (of course you think reinvention is a good thing, your history sucks), but they are THE YANKEES. They basically wear the same uniforms Ruth and Gehrig did. And why the hell should the Yankees get an alt?
