No, not quite, but I think quite good to be the first comment of the overflow

Ya know what I love about those Cialis commercials?
They don’t use “men” or “Erectile Disfunction”, they use “guys” and “ED.” Makes it seem more normal, less of a big deal. E.g., ”...so for guys like me with ED…”
Very clever marketing.

Is CoJack on a particular hot streak...
or is he having the proverbial breakout year?
Phear T.S.'s Crawdaddies...
We’ll know in a few months.
I think this could be a breakout year for him.
"Hold on a minute, there are three important, brilliant, and complicated reasons why you should listen to me."
You're not going to get HR from him
or SB. Keep that in mind.
The boys in Sedona Red slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance.
Basically, I have Lee at 1st...
and (now) Ramirez and Reynolds at UTIL. So… who’s a better fantasy guy, CoJack or Reynolds?
Phear T.S.'s Crawdaddies...
I'd go with CoJack
.300, 20 HR and probably around 90-100 RBI.

Breakout year...kinda
Last season, he hit almost .300 after the first month. Not a surprise to us.
by Jim McLennan on Apr 29, 2008 11:53 PM EDT up reply actions
Probably
some of both. This is the consistency we drafted him for. He’ll probably never be a big HR guy, but he’s got potential for a very high OBP and some nice power.

Had to Do It
I’m just not convinced he is MENTALLY ready for the majors yet, despite the startling success he’s had. I’d rather get him a bit more polished and simply used to facing better hitters: four games above Double-A seems perilously rapid.
Who dat?

word of advice
Whenever people start speculating about people’s “mental states”, questioning a player’s composure on the mound or hitters who beat themselves up over bad at bats, just tune them out.
So...
You don’t believe there is a psychological component to the game?
by Jim McLennan on Apr 29, 2008 11:58 PM EDT up reply actions
Look, the Pitchamatic 5000
was a pitching machine and he didn’t need no psychological component to dominate blurnsball.

I do,
I just don’t think people can come to accurate conclusions about a player’s make-up through a t.v. screen.
This goes for my frustrated gripes about Byrnes, foulpole’s opinions that CoJack just doesn’t care enough, the fanbase’s decision to run BK Kim out of town in 2003 and people who think that Quentin just gets too down on himself and works himself into slumps by over-thinking.
True fact – we all don’t know jack #### about what’s going on in these player’s minds.

Generally agree...
Though if you saw Carlos Quentin’s at-bats last year, you didn’t need a weatherman to know which way HIS wind was blowing. And if 21 games was generally sufficient for players to reach the majors, we wouldn’t have five levels of minor-league ball…
by Jim McLennan on Apr 30, 2008 12:05 AM EDT up reply actions
For college pitchers
with true star potential, 21games is sufficient to reach the majors.
See:
Lincecum, Tim
Prior, Mark
Street, Huston
Clemens, Roger
Cordero, Chad
Weaver, Jered
Okay, Weaver took 28 starts. I’m sure there’s more, but that’s just off the top of my head.
The exception, not the rule...
Looking at our current rotation:
Webb = 72 games
Haren = 77 games
Davis = 106 games
Owings = 44 games
Johnson = ...I dunno, i don’t think they had minor-leagues. ;-)

I believe he pitched 17 games while he fought with the Union Army, before his wounding at the Battle of Gettysburg.

My mistake

"Hold on a minute, there are three important, brilliant, and complicated reasons why you should listen to me."
Of course,
but are you saying that there isn’t anything about Scherzer’s performance to date that’s exceptional.
Hell, usually nineteen year olds don’t go around starting in major league pennant chases, but sometimes there are special players that force the issue.
Dahlian, you're wrong.

So you really think

And you’re basing this on what?
No.

Oh, sure. You’re all in favor of it now, but none of you caught my Serenity reference last night.
"Hold on a minute, there are three important, brilliant, and complicated reasons why you should listen to me."
Somewhere in the Gameday thread. Jim said he was thinking of changing Turambar’s avatar to an albatross.
"Hold on a minute, there are three important, brilliant, and complicated reasons why you should listen to me."
I remember that but didn't connect it as a Serenity ref
b/c the albatross superstition is too common
Where is there an albatross in Serenity?

Totally not seeing it
Granted, it’s been a while since I watched…

not actually in it
just a conversation between Mal and the Operative. the quote was from mal. you should’ve included his next line about actually reading a poem once.
Right, I should finish my comments before I hit post.
Yeah, I responded with “Way I remember it, albatross was a ship’s good luck, until some idiot killed it. Yes, I’ve read a poem. Try not to faint. “
"Hold on a minute, there are three important, brilliant, and complicated reasons why you should listen to me."
my bad, cont.
which renders my first statement moot as well, b/c adding the part about the poem def. makes it a Serenity ref.
I could ramble about the
Civil War, I have taken WAY too many history classes. :)
I have been colonized.

Suns Update
Spurs 88-85 with 29 seconds left in the game. Suns ball
Not everyone wants a constant reminder of the game, just FYI

It's cool, it'll just raise some people's bloodpressure

By the way...
I’m kidding. I like the Suns. And I hate when the Spurs win because I get drunken phone calls fom one of my buddies.
He’s from SA and, thus, can only be annoying about 1 team… so he overcompensates.

No.
Only Mark Reynolds has that kinda power.

Right
which is why he shouldn’t swing like that. Come on people, get with it!

But, dude....
that was the 80s. The Dbacks didn’t exist, and Max was just a twinkle in Mr. and Mrs. Scherzers’ eye.

I like Burke as a utility guy
but I don’t think he’s capable of coming off the bench and hitting a 98 mph fastball.
Not a very long list for that one

Definately, especially for Burke.

He was pretty solid offensively
earlier in his short career, isn’t he?

Career's not over yet
maybe his starting career.
The boys in Sedona Red slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance.
Sort of,
he’s one of those great minor league players that has been constantly jerked around between defensive positions and starting roles.
The Astros never game him a starting job for any length of time. Now he’s on the precipice of could be and never-will be.
Surprise, Brynes has a walk-off HR!
Just kidding, he struck out.

Excellent
And thank you for the reminder- works nicely, since I’m going to a dinner tomorrow evening, I was worried I’d miss the whole game.
"Hold on a minute, there are three important, brilliant, and complicated reasons why you should listen to me."
Oh well
You gotta feel good for Valverde
Man, I hate Valverde.
Every game he celebrates like he’s Papelbon.

Sorry, I meant that as a joke
since it’s a common complaint from opposing fans when he pitches.

Concur
I too have always wanted to smash him in the back of a head with a snow shovel.
He just has no respect whatsoever for the unwritten rules of baseball.
If Jose Valverde were any good,
he would have beaned the Dbacks for swinging. You can’t let them do that.

You can lay this loss at the feet of O Hudson. What was he thinking when the slow roller was hit to third?
To his detriment
Drew didn’t make any moves to get closer to second either.

It's a team game
and there were lots of things that prevented a win.
The boys in Sedona Red slugged it out with a pretty pesky poltergeist, then stayed on to dance the night away with some of the lovely ladies who witnessed the disturbance.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda.
If EdGon doesn’t get pulled early, we don’t unleash Mad Max on the Astros. This is one loss that DEFINITELY stings less, thanks to Scherzer’s perfect debut.
"Juan Cruz has Freddy Krueger stuff. Welcome to Elm Street." -- Mark Grace
There was a pretty big shift with O-Dawg playing deep and way over to the 1st base side. IMO, there is no way that that was O-Dawg’s fault. Either Drew should have been covering or Reynolds should have thrown that ball to 1st.
Or to channel the Mac ad:
It’s not my fault! It’s BoMel’s fault! ;-)
