Lincecum is REALLY out now
Went to the hospital this morning with “flu-like symptoms.” Wan’t going to pitch anyway, now won’t even be at the stadium.

Derek Jeter has no business in the all-star game

yes he does
As Young’s backup. AL shortstop is REALLY thin.

The Cap’n is arguably the 2nd best SS in the AL this year. Who else ya got?

wow, I looked it up, it's really that bad
you could still make an argument for Jhonny Peralta over Jeter, but it’s a stretch
by math_geek on Jul 15, 2008 6:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
How's that a stretch???
Leads him in OPS, OPS+, VORP, WARP. He’s been a significantly better hitter and dramatically better defensively.
Jeter has a better fist pump.

by BirdFanInPhilly on Jul 15, 2008 7:40 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
well, maybe not that much of a stretch
but a .300 OBP is really not very good, and OBP is more important than SLG even though we treat them as equals in practice. Jeter’s terrible defense is a factor I wasn’t measuring however.
by math_geek on Jul 15, 2008 7:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, OBP is more valuable
But it’s not that dramatically more valuable. It’s not making up for Peralta’s huge lead in SLG%. And then there is defense.
I don’t have a huge problem with Jeter going. He’s there for the same reason Cal was there year after year no matter what his stats were. But based on his production this year, he’s not really deserving.

This time it fucking COUNTS. I can’t wait for Brian McCann to hit a three-run homer off of George Sherrill, ultimately securing home field for the 82-win Arizona Diamondbacks in the World Series.

It makes more sense strategically
to take a bunch of closers with sub-2.00 ERAs since nobody’s pitching more than two innings anyway.

It’s over 4. And Papelbon is over 2. KRod is over 2.
These guys don’t do anything that most good starters could do. Too much value is placed on closers.

Did you guys hear this?
My mom calls me, and asks if I’m watching the game. Which is odd, because the last time my Mom watched a BB game, Eddie Murray was still driving in runs for us the FIRST time. The following conversation ensues:
“Did you know this is the LAST All-Star-Game and it’s in Yankee Stadium?”
“I’m pretty sure they’re gonna have an All-Star Game next year, too, Mom”
“No they’re not. Not in Yankee Stadium. This is the last All-Star Game there.”
“Well, yeah, not in Yankee Stadium, Mom. I’m pretty sure I heard that somewhere.”
I mean, when the hype machine can even reach my 63 y.o. mom, MLB is doing something right. Or wrong. Depends on your perspective, I guess.

So Vince R. parlayed being a fanboy with a mic into working for Vince M. Pretty sweet!

The official notice of him being taken out would be that someone bats for him or takes the field instead of him. They wouldn’t get to see his grand, dramatic exit.
And since no one really knew what the fuck was going on and probably 50% of the fans were worried he was hurt, he didn’t get a giant ovation.

Wasn't a save oppurtunity ( no lead)
So it can’t be a hold. Also, don’t think there is a such thing as a blown hold. It woud just technically be a blown save (although some don’t count it as a BS unless it’s teh 9th inning)

No, but he did put the guy on first

Either way, he’s on the line for the loss.

He gave up a single and I’ll allow for a stolen base. That pop up to left does not advance Tejada from second to third, let alone home. He does not score that run. The run is on Navarro. You are blind as a bat hatin’ for hatin’s sake.

But it’s not like Papelbon doesn’t have a role in that run. You can’t say he has no responsiblity because there was an error. Yeah, sure, if there was no error, there be no run. But if there was no single there’d be no run. If there was no SB there was no run.

Right, I agreed to that.
There isn’t just one guy who has responsibility for the run. But that doesn’t dismiss Papelbon. Obviously, I bring up Papelbon because he comes off as a dousche to me, and he plays for PHN. But I also brought him up because he played a key role in that run. Navarro did as well; but I don’t know him as an ahole, so…

Well if he'd struck out *3* or not allowed a long fly... Oh yeah, Paps lost it, all right. Navarro just helped
and so did the not-backing-up doofus in center.

The fly ball was not very long. Tejada doesn’t go from second to third on that ball. He goes home because that’s a much longer throw. This is really not rocket science at all. I mean, seriously. The run does not score if Navarro throws the ball somewhere other than center field.

There are PLENTY of places he could have thrown it where the damage would have been as severe…

Woulda been a tough loss? Sure. Tell us about it! But this is a case where the L in the box score would've been accurate.
You couldn’t be righter that this one isn’t rocket science. With Miggy on 3rd, you pitch differently: strike out—GOOD! Anything else—PROBABLY BAD. And the ONE THING you DON’T want to give up: FLY BALL!! Do we think Papelbon knew this? YES. Did we see him FAIL to act on this knowledge successfully? YES AGAIN.
Right now he’s thinking Thank you, Evan—I came up short when it counted and you saved my douchebag Red Sawx arse!

Never a doubt, George
He gets in this in the 11th at the earliest. Then has to throw 3 innings before balking 4 batters to lose…

Dr. Joseph Dolan: Arnold Babar. Isn’t there a children’s book about an elephant named Babar?
Fletch: I don’t know. I don’t have any.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: No children?
Fletch: No elephant books.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: Drop your shorts and bend over.
Fletch: No…we don’t have to, I mean, maybe I just haven’t been doing enough calisthenics…you know, my kidneys feel a lot better now, maybe if I just bent over like this every morning…...
[Dolan inserts his finger into Fletch’s anus with an audible “pop” sound]
Fletch: [singing] Moon River…...[talking] Whew…ever serve time, Doc?
Dr. Joseph Dolan: Breathe easy.
Fletch: Yeah…breathe easy… Ahh!! Using the whole fist, Doc?!
...
[After the proctological exam]
Dr. Joseph Dolan: Well, I can’t seem to find anything wrong with you, Mr. Babar.
Fletch: Well, I’m sure it’s not for a lack of looking.
