Early Crap

I hate National League crap. Lately they've been stealing with Coco. Nothing good can come out of this. If he's safe, it takes the bat out of Ortiz' hands. If he's out, that's one less run scoring on Ortiz' homer or double, which would've scored from first anyway in either case. Tonight we did it in the first inning. Coco gets on, gets thrown out, Papi walks and Manny singles. No runs as Youk ends the inning. Stop dicking around and let these huge bats do the work.

It's my thrid consecutive night of the Royals' announcers. This guy doesn't raise his voice when announcing that it's 102 degrees out. Doesn't get excited when the Royals win in walk-off fashion. They're pretty inoffensive, but the routine is getting old. I miss Remy and Orsillo. I put my Remy '82 Fleer baseball card up against the TV in these situations...

I hate batting him lead-off. That putting your speedy guy 1st helps in anyway is a myth. OBP is what matters.
 
The only good thing about National League crap is that when the Sox are inter-leaguing it, sometimes you'll get a shot of Francoma in the dugout, looking really confused, and you just know he's trying to figure out the whole double switch thing, and hoping he doesn't have to use it. And you can tell he really doesn't get it. And he managed in the NL, so that's really sad.
 
That's a joke, about Francona, right?

Besides what amounts to the occasional slow hook on a pitcher, I can't believe what anyone would ever have to complain about this guy.

Hey, aren't you a fan of that team whose fans always say "Just worry about your own team?"

Anyway, besides that, like I said, you're just proving my point by going around bragging when you're in first, while hiding like the coward you are when you're not in first.
 
0 championships won since 2000 for $835,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

And please note the payroll difference between the Yanks and White Sox (who just took 2 out of 3 from you) is greater than that of the Red Sox and Royals. And the White Sox are pretty high up on the list.
 
Francoma's ok...

And wasn't that the guy who always says it's not about the money? That guy's a douche...
