Say it ain't so!

"With the club feeling that they're unlikely to invest heavily in a catcher or left fielder, some of the team's brass think they should spend their money on the best pitcher available, rather than saving it for other positions." -MLBtraderumors

No big name in LF? WTF? When was this decided?

I am outraged!

not surprised

but not being able to pick up any long term building pieces like holliday seems like all the more reason to try to fill as many positions with competent players as possible .

Unlikely to invest heavily in a catcher

would mean no Molina, right? Or in Omar’s warped mind is 2 years, $12 million not investing heavily?

There’s definitely a Molina weight joke in there somewhere

I got one:

Bengie Molina is fat.

Thats so funny!

Cause calling him fat is like saying Fat Albert was anorexic.

suggestion

give me a hint about what the fanshot/fanpost is about in the title, all these “Oh No!” and “Argh!” titles are kind of annoying.

I'm pretty sure scott meant to reply to robcast above...

And is referring to “Say it ain’t so, Joe [Biden]?!” from last year’s absolutely atrocious vice presidential debate.

First comment on MLBTR:

They should get Marquis. He’s a flyball pitcher who has a ‘thing for winning’ and Citi Field would help him.

Myself, I’d prefer a groundball pitcher who has a ‘thing for losing,’ but I suppose it’s a personal preference.

I wish people stopped saying Marquis has "a thing for winning", or whatever assorted other phrases.

No he doesn’t. He has a Win/Loss Percentage just barely over .500, and a career ERA over 4. Yes, every team that he’s been on has reached the post season, but that’s not through his contributions, for sure- he’s actually pitched only four postseasons in his 10-year career, starting a whopping three games.

You see, we can't make it look like we're pining for Holliday THAT much.

You know, act casual. Left field? Whatever.

That worked for me

until Elin met Tiger and she lost interest.

yeah, that was terrible

I played it casual to get Elin what’shername’s attention then she dumped me for Tiger Woods. Poor attempt at humor.

by wobatus on Dec 9, 2009 4:02 PM EST up reply actions

Yeah, I haven't been following any of the Tiger Woods news, and know only that he's really horny. The count's up to like 11 or something...

Golf sucks, anyway, so…

i'm a wanted man in the kingdom of golf clubs

i serially decapitate them when i try to play.

by KeithsMoustache on Dec 9, 2009 6:50 PM EST up reply actions

I've beheaded two golf clubs in my time:

a Taylor Made driver where the head snapped off on a drive, and a putter that snapped when I flung it in the air after three-putting for bogey from within eight feet.

haha i've murdered 2 drivers

one of them was just a poor swing and caught ground, but one of them was a clean swing, got all ball and no ground, head just went flying off, went about 10 yards past the ball… at that point i said F*** this and gave up on golf.
