Yahoo Sports now reporting that UCLA recruits are being called and told to prepare for the announcement that Ben's going bye bye.

Well, would you want to live in Chicago?  

wow, you're right.  I didn't realize he improved that much post-AS break.
 
i guess the stench of the first half of the season clouded my judgement.
 
take that, AM !

What a surprise that angelduck agrees with an agitator.

Maybe Conger is just not as good as we all hoped he would be.

I agree

"right?"
 
Are you asking me something?

Wow. **** you, NHL. Hes going to miss DAL, STL, SJ and CHI games. ****.

Traditional marriage

Pitchers are less likely to throw as many pitches down and away when Trout is standing on First though.

Thread has potential.

Um. We all call out the manager, coaches and players at times, but you're constantly posting the same garbage about Butcher, Scioscia and some players that have ruffled your feathers. I made a vow to the board this year that I will not tolerate constant trolling from members about a certain individual on the Angels. We banned a guy named R. Munkee because of his hate for Vladimir Guerrero. I dealt with it for about a year or so and after several warnings (like you've received) he was finally gone.
 
Moral of the story, you're on thin ice so don't push your luck here. I don't mind a boo here or a damn there from you, but I don't need you thread-jacking or creating with posts of your hate agenda toward these individuals you've zeroed in on the past year. 
 
I say no more. 

I'd like to give Kendrick one more shot and I know I'm in the minority. If a pitcher throws him those slow, in the dirt breaking balls Trout steals second. Howie uses the whole field, can drive a fast ball from gap to gap. He had one bad year where he grounded into a ton of double plays. My guess is that it is a fluke thing. Most guys who hit into double plays are big slow guys like Pujols, two years ago and Miggy this last year, not guys with average to slightly above average speed. Double plays are not like strike outs they don't happen year after year after year.

And Kemp, Trout, Posey, Cain, Strasburg

Awesome!!!

Before the WAR stat came to fruition, were what we used to evaluate players wrong? Are there guys in the Hall of Fame that don't belong because we overvalued them using stats like HR's, RBI's, BA, OBP, etc? Have we not been able to accurately determine how good a player was just by watching them play with our own eyes?  
 
WAR is fun. It's about as useful as the old GWRBI stat. Both have their flaws. That is just my opinion.

Grice vs Bermudez was sick!!!

Can't wait for this season to end to find out who the new coach will be.

Silver Linings Playbook was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time
