Baseball thread No. 7: Somebody slip the pinstripers a Mickey

And Livan Hernandez starts tonight! It only gets better.

Willingham crushed both his home runs. Hard. And it's OK to call him the Hammer, even though it comes from the last part of his last name.
I really like him. Hard to fathom how anyone with a brain saw him as a fifth OF coming out of spring training.

Yeah. Saw the Livan news. There's your veteran hand, Moddy. I like the move. A lot.

And I heard one of J-Will's homers landed on the avenue behind the stadium. How far of a shot is that? 450, 500?

Moderator1 · Aug 26, 2009

Someone threw that one back onto the field. Hell of a throw. Pretty funny.
Those Cubs last night didn't much look like the Cubs I saw in D.C. a month ago. Wish I could say that bothered me. They may kick the crap out of the Nats in the next two. They still won't catch the Cardinals.

JackReacher · Aug 26, 2009

Yeah. Just saw the video of the homer on Nats.com. That was just a monstrous shot.

I like how you turn "leaned heavily" into some kind of positive euphanism, as if there's no bullying at all that goes on there.

I also am not surprised that I presented you with facts from respected writers (i.e. people with daily bylines to whom you can kiss up) and you managed to come up with some way to spin it to fit your hole-ridden theory. I would expect nothing less out of the biggest celebrity worshipper on this site.

However, we have this in common: I also think far better and far higher of Ken Davidoff than I do of you. Though he's really not alone there.

I do admire the relentless way you pursue an issue even when you're making a complete fool of yourself in doing so. You've now taken about 10 steps backward in the theory you made up in your little brain without the luxury of any first-hand knowledge.

So, anyway, for your next trick why don't you learn the definition of euphemism and maybe go all sorts of crazy and learn how to spell the word.

OK, Red Sox fans tell me what ya know about Chris Carter ---almost 27 year old career minor leaguer (ugh!) who apparently will be playing for the Mets in a week as part of the Wagner deal.

He'll sprain his ankle in his third game.

Well, he's a New York Met now, so that's a given. The question is, is he more of a 15-day DL guy or a 60-day DL guy?

And Swisher pops up on a sacrifice bunt attempt. He's no Rod Carew.

he's useless as a sac bunter. game was over right then; memorable comeback avodied.

yanks had scored four and put men at first and second with none out.

wow. just wow.

So Rangers can't get anyone out and NY decides to bunt? Is that what they did? Brilliant. Sacrifice bunts for all!

Oh boy you got me! I misspelled a word!

That all you got? Well it's more proof I am completely correct on this issue as well as my theory that you're the biggest kissass fool on this site. Once again: It's not my fault all my evidence doesn't support your theories. At least spnited had the good sense to STFU. You, though...you keep going.

Don't you have commercials to shoot with Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins? I bet you're the life of the weekend BBQ with your stories about how you talk to those guys and how they're your friends and how you tell Barry Bonds "Man, fuck those guys."

spnited · Aug 26, 2009

The only reason I decided to STFU is I was tired of arguing with a moron.
It ain't worth the effort

Meanwhile, good news today from the 9th Circuit for my favorite union:

How much of an impact will that really have on the leaks though?
