I have confidence in Mr. Fraley. A writer's only beat if he thinks he is.

Weren't we talking about Jeopardy? What is questiong all those answers about meteors, Alex? (wait isn't it someone new since i last paid attention?)

I too am rooting for him to land on his feet somewhere, and have no objection if turns out to be here, although if it is in the minors, i'll understand.

Wait... Is it hammer time already? Or should i stop? (hoping for an answer of yes on 1. no on 2)

It is important to keep your satires properly inflated, especially in cold weather.

Pretty sure he's not evil... I'm rooting for him, for sure. And i think he can make it back. Andrew Albers did something, Dobnak can too. But i'm not expecting him to make it 1-18 all by himself. (and while i cherry picked the tidbit what provoke me to respond, thanks for larger context of that situation. Personel decisions are always complicated, but i appreciate this perspective.

And lose Alexy to the White Sox on a waiver claim. You will be missed!

When you say you, you are plural, right? Pretty sure an individual pitcher can only get 1 per game. But i believe it possible that every pitcher but the starters could get a blown save. I wonder... now if the starter doesn't go long enough to qualify for the win, can the reliever get a blown save?

(and vice versa too, fwiw). This has a "not all who wander are lost" vibe... I'll run with that. Deep roots are not touched by the frost! Optimistic, no?

Two questions: What is so high about the alert these people are on? And why are they so willing to share? I'm not sure this Tom Hanson, 58 has our best interest at heart, mixing July 4th with Xmas. Next thing you know, kids will be putting lit fire crackers in their stockings or under the tree. Or getting needles allover the american flag, ol' stars and stripes.

Probably Dobnak, 2 years ago. Er... um... gosh. Who'd we get a year ago from the Padres? Coulda sworn we extended him a few weeks ago. Right after avoiding arbitration. On the tip of my fingers... started with a P but wasn't Pagan.... I foresee a use of the edit post feature in my near future... Paddack! How could i forget him? While i am looking it up, perhaps i should confirm we actually extended him... In the meantime perhaps it is often the pitchers betting on themselves and not taking extensions offered. Dobnak and Paddack were modest extensions with reason to have a realistic assessment of injury risk as t affected thier value?

I am on board with giving him a chance to start. Not sure how best to make it a possibility, while managing the risk of injury, but it would be nice to at least consider.

I am waiting for the time-traveler's special. Go back and pay a penny to the senators in 1915 for your season tickets this year. Don't own your own time machine? We'll uber you to the game of your choice for an immodest premium.

I don't know, the bullpen buddies might skyrocket in value... At least until someone catches on. How much would some people pay for a chance to bean a Yankee?

I knew who's on first, but i didn't know he had racist proclivities. Abbott must have omitted the fact.

I blame myself. I done jinxed it, participatin' this thead an' all. Why'd go and do a fool thing like that? Silver lining is i don't have to follow them anymore this season.

Did we win yet?

Meh, walkmen had belt clips. Typewriters don't. Glad my curiosity is shared. Does the typewrite go in the basket in front, or the rack on the back?

The real question is how many Cy Youngs and WS rings Jimenez will win over his HOF career?

Speaking of which, there is a rumor of a new Henry Jones Jr movie?

I'm pretty sure if you google the term "rickroll", you'll find out. Be sure to get a typewriter with "mythic resonance", and let me know how you manage to carry it on your unicycle.

I'm still waiting for it to be cool too.

As expected.

Apparently the "let him goes" won this round.

Is there actually such a song about the ways of preparing a bird for mastication? Or was i not the only one trying to graft crow recipes onto 50 ways to leave your lover? Stuff in beak leeks. Give the drumsticks licks. Glazing the feet sweet. Just don't retch up catsup. But i digress... Must remember, not a game thread. Anyway., i think those of you considering a crow dinner are taking the wrong tack. You should start complaining how we're never going to keep both Byron or Correa healthy, or win any world series. If it worked once, it is worth trying again.
