Same stuff, different author. Dylan Hernandez.

 

^"Retro 50's feel" with "modern amenities" - sounds really great!

 

I just hope they don't take 50s to the extreme, otherwise I'm going to be stuck watching the game at the top deck whenever I go.

 

I am and have looked at his overall average in the majors and if he had done so well last Fall in that call up would we really have had the number of different left fielders this year? Come on the data and the Dodgers use or lack of supports what I am saying. I mean get real if he had done so well oh yeah and what happened with his first call up this year? Why did it take until August this year to bring him back up? He is up and down in performance and that is hardly the grounds to pronounce anything other than maybe.

Yup I saw him last Fall and all the times before that and I also read his stats minus the rose colored glasses. He disapointed at the start of the year and lets hope this time is charmed.

You and other readers can do the data analysis and make your own decisions. You already have so others can. He alread had one chance this year after yes doing well last Fall. I didn't forget either last Fall or this year.

On another note he and one of my sons went to the same college

 

yeah and frank can hardly wait to start dictating the development and laughing his ass off all the way to the bank. what a crock of shit said bitterman devil. never thought i would be a bitterman about this but it is what it is. i mean i don't walk around with anger inside me but no way it makes any difference to me what they do here.

The Phillies didn’t intend to trade Cliff Lee when the Dodgers claimed him on waivers, but the left-hander could have blocked a move to Los Angeles, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports (on Twitter). The Dodgers are one of the 21 teams on Lee’s no-trade list.

Could well be why Amaro said right away Lee isn't going anywhere. Dodgers claim him and Lee says no and dada bing thats it.

 

Oh, so you don't want to win a championship Cliff Lee? That's cool, bro.

 

Yeah, teams that get shut out by the Rockies are doing real solid.

 

Meh, he signed his big contract. He's probably done being a mercenary.

 

You put the big market teams on your NTC so you have leverage in negotiations. It has nothing to do with liking or disliking a team.

 

I take it you won't be there for Car Hop Night at Dodgers Stadium, cruising in your '55 T Bird, sporting a flat top and duck tail.
Be there or be square.

 

Mr. Blue can be Mr. C

 

I agree and I wish your enlightened opinion would spread to all the part-time players because you cannot compare their performances to guys who play everyday. The standard has to be lower but not low enough obviously as to be TOTALLY useless.

 

Been out of town on business so I need help guys. What is the general opinion on TG being dfa'd? I thought it was a curious move since he was our best pinch hitter. Then to bring up a 1st baseman/OF when we have that guy in Rivera? I thought he would be gone and we keep TG.

 

IMO, TGJ DFA BFD.

 

He sucks. So I'm cool with it. Only reason Rivera is still here is because he can play first with a lefty on the mound; but he sucks too.
