OK, I have heard of that movie
But I haven’t seen it yet. Is it true that it is such a bad drama that it becomes a decent comedy?
__________________________________________________
"He who gets the best players usually wins" - Bobby Bowden
yes, it makes that rare transition of failing so completely at what it was doing
that it becomes something amazing. Also seeing it with a live audience is fantastic because theres all sorts of audience participation jokes throughout the movie.

I’m thinking that Funk is a better narrative to baseball games than Buck & McCarver. Thoughts?

I didn’t believe that ownership group for one second when they said that they wouldn’t stand in Theo’s way if he wanted out of Boston. They are furious that he wants out and they are trying to make a point."

Stanton...
He’s on his way to being a beast in the NL east for years to come.
Since he plays in the Marlins though, we know he won’t sign a contract there b/c Loria is just that cheap.
by MetsFan4Decades on Oct 15, 2011 8:25 PM EDT up reply actions
He'll trade him for some more prospects.
But I think now that they finally have their stadium, he will put some money in that team.
by aparkermarshall on Oct 15, 2011 8:26 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't know about that.
I’ll have to see that to believe it. We’re talking about an owner who MLB had to come down on to get him to reinvest some of the profits back in the team. Probably the only reason Johnson got that contract.
by MetsFan4Decades on Oct 15, 2011 8:29 PM EDT up reply actions
Maybe he sells the team

His defense mostly held in the second half. Wright was batting on top of the plate again, but not consistently. His mechanics are being pushed back to how they were.

Probably the same thing Keith did after making the second out in game 6
Ryan Miller was the true MVP. See my profile for rant.
Whoever bet the over on this game is going to do well tonight.
extra shots at the bar and maybe some hookers.

I actually looked it up earlier
on the Daily Racing Form – who have all types of sports odds – but they’re only showing games not started/played yet. Should have looked it up prior to this game starting.

Man, not just cuz they're crushing the Tigers
but I have to say Texas has really impressed me with their top-to-bottom strength this offseason. Every member of their team is a useful major league baseball player. Imagine that!

Is Ron Washington not taking his regulars out to protect them

2 straight trips. 2 straight losses.
Just like the Jets
Jets, Cowboys, Mets, Islanders, Bulls & Clippers
So, I've watched the game. All I see are hits by Texas.
At least you have the Lions, Detroit!
That felt weird to type
Jets, Cowboys, Mets, Islanders, Bulls & Clippers

Not too many empty seats right now
The Rangers are up 10 runs, are three outs away from winning the Pennant. Why would the fans leave?

This was crap baseball at it's finest
I can’t stand watching such one sided playoff games.

I like blowouts. If my team's doing it. Makes me rest relax.

Ah, now we finally bring back postseason threads!
In the meantime, though,I’ve been posting at Bless You Boys (DET). Believe it or not, Electromir made an appearance on the thread.
