Jaimoe Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 George Steinbrenner famously called Dave Winfield "Mr. May" when May was terrible for the Yankees in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 If I get what your saying, then Steinbrenners an idiot b/c October would be meaningless if Mr May hadnt shown up.In football, if a team goes 0-6 to start the season do you say, as long as we win our last 10 games were good?

Jaimoe Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Steinbrenner was right to call Winfield "Mr. May" because he couldn't hit when the pressure was on in September and October, back when the Yanks were no sure thing front-runners. Winfield was furious by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Pssssssssst, Hal. There's A HUNDRED AND SIXTY TWO GAMES in a season!Comparing that to the NFL's 16 game (every one of them means something) regular season is shortsighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Well, no shit, but it works out to scale. Bottom line is as much as you hide behind the excuse of "meaningless" games, your never gonna win. Now a team like Boston can do it, cuz they know their potential. Jays potential is on paper alone, so they should maybe take Texas seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Getting Rolen into the lineup will make it seem like the Jays just swung a big-time deal. Let them get used to this line-up. They are only 3 1/2 games out of 1st. No big deal especially with all those head-to-head series with the big boys coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 also, let's not forget about the Senators' season. The only reason they made the playoffs was because of their start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal Johnson Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hey, in other news it looks like the Grateful Dead are about to announce that they signed either Frank Thomas or Barry Bonds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 (edited) There are no meaningless games, unless they are all meaningless of course... every day is another day to get better at your craft.Oh, and if you don't like the rules... don't play. Every game at one point was invented out of nowhere... can you tell that the Senators hangover is finally subsiding? Dark days man... dark days.

djmelbatoast Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 This is the thing I don't get with Gibbons.I know you want to rest guys and not burn them out, but why is it that he always seems to rest three or four guys a day. Put Inglet in left and rest Stewart so that Stairs can play right for Rios and have Barrajass as the DH.WTF?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmelbatoast Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Gotta make sure Scutaro's happy.Fuck Scutato he should be happy just to be in the majors. Give him the occasional start and let him pinch run for Zaun in close games and he should be thankful for the opportunity.Gibbons is a duechebag.

djmelbatoast Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 It's like they want to be the Raptors or something. The thing is the Raptors suck too.You've got to at least try to put your best lineup out there every night. You can't blame injuries when every other game you've got three starters sitting on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Unfortunately DJ, its gonna be this way until they get rid of JP or Gibby. So get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LXQ42 Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Gotta make sure Scutaro's happy.Fuck Scutato he should be happy just to be in the majors. Give him the occasional start and let him pinch run for Zaun in close games and he should be thankful for the opportunity.If it wasn't for Rolen's injury that's exactly what would happen. BTW MacDonald is a far better fielder, even at 3rd, but his bat sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 The way i see it, if Wells, Rios, Overbay, Hill Stairs et all connected a little better and hit like a baseball team is supposed to hit it wouldnt matter that Mcdonald cant hit. Thats what defensive guys are for. Striking out and playing d. Lay down the odd bunt here and there. McDonald also adds a little character to the line-up. Fuck, I hate this team.
