Haha... their season is 30 minutes over and the Tigers are already losing.

(hstencil, wappingers falls is near nyc and home to a devil rays single-a squad.)

― maura (maura), Monday, 31 March 2003 16:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

(thanks maura - I know where Wappingers Falls is but couldn't for the life of me figure out its relation to baseball.)

― hstencil, Monday, 31 March 2003 16:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

yancey: opening day is about optimism you bastard.

― bnw (bnw), Monday, 31 March 2003 17:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

Fuck. I didn't start Corey Patterson and he already has two rbi. Darnit.

Whoops, just caught stealing though..

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Monday, 31 March 2003 17:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

lawrence, is there anyone other than gonzalez whom you'd consider trading guardado for?

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 31 March 2003 17:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

mark, no. But I'll throw in 1B, DH Randall Simon (hit .301 last year and is starting for the Pirates this year).

Tom Glavine couldn't last 4 innings against the Cubs. Looks like it's going to be a long season for the Mets.

Technical question: will the roster changes I made today not show up 'til tomorrow?

― hstencil, Monday, 31 March 2003 17:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

Why the Yankees can't win it [. . . ]

2003 is clearly the year of the Orioles.

Hooray, ChicksDigKs is in sole ownership of 9th place with 151.5 points. Who knew stats could be so exciting? Go, Nomo, beat the tar out of old man Johnson tonight :P

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

FUUUUUUCK COREY PATTERSON 3 Run jack! 5 rbi!!

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

How will they score runs indeed!

Diamond -- you have CP, no?

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes, I have him and he's sitting on my bench right now. :-(

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

doh!

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

Someone's gotta discount my predictions with something other than opening day stats!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

Buerhle is in a J-A-M!

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah he no lookie too good.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

ah man don't jinx my sox!

― hstencil, Monday, 31 March 2003 18:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

Cry me a river, stencil. If you were a real Sox fan you'd have some White Sox on Mickey Mantle's Liver. But oh no, you had to have your Mark Grudzielaneks and your Cristin Guzmans and their fat stats. Real Chicago homers pick up Zambranos off waivers.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

hahaha... Armas Jr. shut down the Braves! Maddux who?

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

OMFG!! PATTERSON 2 run dong!!! 7 rbi!

Now accepting trade offers for the future '03 MVP.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

2 run dong?!

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

dinger?

That's quite a vote of confidence there for your "bench," Diamond.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, you know, tater, shot, dinger, bomb, blast, jack, dong!

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

the Braves had somebody named "Bong" pitch for them today (shouldn't he be pitching for the Mets?)

― James Blount (James Blount), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Mike Bacsik, get in this house RIGHT NOW!"

I am really going to enjoy Baseball Tonight this evening.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 18:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

somebody give Runelvys Hernandez a Cy Young already!

― James Blount (James Blount), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well, Guardado gets the save today against one of the greatest baseball teams in the history of the sport ('03 Tigers). Mark, I'm keeping him for the time being.

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

Moises Alou I kiss you.

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

felicity, I didn't/couldn't participate in the draft, and I didn't see any sox on waivers besides, ugh, Willie Harris.

Saturday I move into a new place with CABLE! WOO-HOO, HSTENCIL CAN WATCH BASEBALL TONIGHT EVERY NIGHT!

― hstencil, Monday, 31 March 2003 19:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hernandez is still available in my money league. I can't decide if I should dump Jeremy Bonderman (the Tigers' stud hurler) for him...

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

oh hooray for your cable, h.

But, that is the most pitiful excuse from a wannabe Chicago sports fan I have ever heard. I, too, was absent from the live draft and somehow ChicksDigKs has MAGS Ordonez and Damaso "Rowr" Marte.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:10 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, you took my man, Felicity...right out from under my nose!

― Kerry (dymaxia), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

yancey - I don't know, they're both young pitchers ie. what I usually avoid (inconsistency in a pitchers scares me too much). Hernandez is 'da ace' though, my theory being that to be an ace at all you have to be at least semi-decent (hence, er, my drafting Ismael Valdes). I Love Baseball being an exception to my avoid young pitchers rule becuz it's a TWENTY TEAM league. twenty teams but non-tradtional stats counting - I have no idea how ILB will play out.

― James Blount (James Blount), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hmm, Kerry, we might talk . . . but right now even this Cubs fan doesn't want to trade Mags for Sosa. I wuv Mags.

Haha, even Kerry Wood got a hit today! We love when the pitchers "help themselves out." THE NL ROXX U R ALL GAY

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

Jesus Christ the Cubs have scored 15 runs

― James Blount (James Blount), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

Holy crap, Juan Cruz struck out the side TWICE??

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

Haha, even Kerry Wood got a hit today! We love when the pitchers "help themselves out."

:-D

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

i'm with you on avoiding young pitchers, and young pitchers on shitty teams even moreso. bonderman's being touted as a "once in a lifetime" prospect, but hernandez has been hyped for ages it seems. i think bonderman starts tomorrow. maybe i can hold off until then.

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

Heh, I met Damaso Marte once last season. I had gone down to the Bullpen sports bar for an hour after the game. As I left and was walking north to 35th street I looked over and he was just sitting there on a bench in that landscaped area in front of the ticket windows. I walked up and shook his hand and asked him what he was doing out there. He was apparantly waiting for a friend to come and pick him up!

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

ima trade junior spivey for bullpen help if anyone's interested

― mark p (Mark P), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

What the hell am I gonna do at work all day when the schedule starts going to night games?

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

WHO HAS JUAN CRUZ?
WHO HAS TIM SPOONEYBARGER?

ALternatively, what is the best way to locate a player who is on someone else's team (i.e., not searchable under "available players") (No Carrie Brownstein jokes, please)

Damaso gets a "hott" in the redwellmetrics ratings.

― felicity (felicity), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

I hope every game today does something to discount all that shit I wrote above (da Cubbies' 15 runs, for example). I wanna be bulletin board material!!!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

felicity - either just click 'taken' or search by last name

― James Blount (James Blount), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

there's is a tab on the available players page that has "Taken" (if you want to peak into other people's dugouts).

you can always do a search on the last name on that page as well just for shits and giggles.

― gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

Felicity, when you click on that available players link, the page has links to toggle between "available" and "taken" players.

Also you can search via the player's last name.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, just enter in their last name in the search thing and the player should come up (unless you spell it wrong, which happens all the time to me).

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

haha I'm slow.

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

holy shit! no one's taken mark prire! or mark pizza! my teme's set!

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Monday, 31 March 2003 19:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

thx
