Dandy

For everyone saying that you can't use someone who's father has been shown on TV...why? Sure you can. The mother has suspected/secretly known all along that Vince was actually the father of the kid, not the dad they grew up with. I don't necessarily think that is the direction they will go, but it is certainly plausible that could happen in real life. It happens all the time.

My birthday was yesterday and I got a pm from vanhalen wishing me a happy birthday. Perhaps I've been too hard on the guy.

But what does he think about Edge? John Morrison? Chris Benoit's double murder/suicide? Oh.

Lies.

Well, Czech was dared to copy it for obvious reasons. I chose to copy it to make DOAM look even worse. Cyber Mark Madden is currently training as my padowan that will eventually kill me and take over. And vanhalen is a waste of skin.

So this still gets updated from time to time, huh?

I just never post.

Oooh, oooohh!!!! Do Mecca and Enigma next!

And I jinxed Keppinger as he went 0-4 today.

Since Jeff Keppinger was called back up to the majors in July, he has only failed to get a hit in four games in which he had an official at bat. Two of those games were pinch hit appearances.

I argued for strikeouts being worse than other outs before, and I probably didn't get my true argument across. I was talking about Adam Dunn at the time. If a hitter is at least putting the ball in play, it means he is making contact. Dunn misses BADLY a lot of times. However, the main problem I see with it is a lot of his strikeouts should be walks because he is swinging at pitches way out of the zone and missing badly on those. I agree an out is an out and I see where you guys are coming from on that. There are key times in this game when contact is needed, like for a sac fly, and if your hitter is missing the ball by 6 inches, that isn't good. I don't think it's out of the question to want a player to cut down on his strikeouts so he could accumulate more walks, make the pitchers throw him more strikes, and increase his chances of being on base a lot more. Take Dunn's 194 strikeouts last year and let's say, oh 1/6 (arbitrary number) of them he could have drawn a walk by not swinging at horrible pitches. That would have decreased his outs by 32 and put him on base 32 more times. His batting average would have gone up (from .234 to .248) and his OBP would have gone up as well (.365 to .411).

I'll give Gary Majewski and Mike Stanton one thing...they're consistent.

What the hell was up woth Griffey's base-running in tonight's game?

How many of us will still be posting here 10 years from now? Weird to think about, but if the place is still around, I'm sure there will be several of us.

Anyone see Brandon Phillips steal two bases during one play? It hasn't had an official ruling yet, but the announcers are playing it up because no one thinks it has happened in the history of the game. The play unfolded as Phillips got a huge jump and there was no throw to second. They had the shift on for Dunn, so the 3rd baseman was covering the bag. Phillips glanced and saw there was no throw and consequently no one covering third. He barely broke stride and won a footrace to third. Pretty heads up play.

Bourn is lucky he didn't land on the operating table.

I made fun of your posting in the chatroom and told you I didn't care for you much. I also treated you like a person. Perhaps next time I should avoid the latter so you don't get confused.

Hey, a lot more people than the CLIQUE~! don't like you.

I expect the Arroyo to the Braves for Reyes and Escobar trade to be announced.

The One Man Gang did NOT use roids!

I enjoyed the Ladykillers and Poseidon. Never saw the originals.
