Then he'll get bored with baseball and start talking about the food he is eating, or start discussing football or something.

Probably the worst commentator I've ever worked with.

Still better than Hawk Harrelson.

Harrelson served as a Chicago White Sox announcer from 1982 to 1985 and briefly left broadcasting during the 1986 season to become the White Sox's General Manager. During his one season as GM, Harrelson fired field manager Tony La Russa (who was soon hired by the Oakland Athletics) and assistant general manager Dave Dombrowski (who became baseball's youngest general manager with the Montreal Expos just two years later).
:lol: @ anybody thinking that giving a GM job to Hawk Harrelson was a good idea

Do people actually listen to him? If so, they don't make fun of it?

We rip him all the time in the truck

Rain delay so SNY is showing a Mets Insider special on Noah Syndergaard

Evil Vito 05-23-2016 08:03 PM

On a related note, I really want to have sex with Noah Syndergaard

Evil Vito 05-23-2016 08:03 PM

Multiple Thorgasms

ClockShot 05-23-2016 10:07 PM

Ynoa o the bump, Vito. Good stat line

ClockShot 05-23-2016 10:14 PM

Jed Lowrie is here.:shifty:

Evil Vito 05-23-2016 10:31 PM

Oh yeah, Ynoa. He's on their 40 man roster. Not sure if he'll get a cup of coffee this year or what but he's got promise as an extra starter.

Evil Vito 05-23-2016 11:10 PM

Nice to grab a win over the Nats tonight. Mets' bats finally showed up. :cool:

ClockShot 05-23-2016 11:31 PM

Pitcher for Nashville tonight got skills.

Jed Lowrie is wearing his A's helmet. Everyone else black team helmets.

ClockShot 05-23-2016 11:42 PM

Nimmo having a good night, Vito.

ClockShot 05-24-2016 10:31 PM

Eovaldi & the bullpen with a nice gem today.

ClockShot 05-28-2016 08:19 PM

Something's going on in San Diego. Trading off some players.

Mets acquire James Loney from San Diego for cash.


White Sox are in talks of possibly getting James Shields. But, nothing set in stone yet.

Ol Dirty Dastard 05-29-2016 09:52 AM

FUcking Dickey vs Price today. God dammit. I know Price isn't lighting the world on fire, but he always owns the Jays, and Dickey is Mr. 50/50.

Ruien 05-29-2016 06:38 PM

WOOOO WSox blow another game.

ClockShot 05-29-2016 08:37 PM

1 hit was all the Yankees needed today.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-29-2016 09:10 PM

I wonder what the ChiSox would be willing to give up for Shields if the Padres paid down his contract. They have some intriguing options, and Tim Anderson is apparently not considered untouchable.

I also wonder if the deal is done or not depends on if Shields will opt out.

Frank Drebin 05-30-2016 01:50 AM

They'll give you Clayton Richard and you will like it.

The WSOX aren't big on amateur scouting, so alot of their guys wind up not panning out. Chris Sale not withstanding, anyone else on that roster a drafted and home grown talent? While that's not entirely necessary to have a good team, a team like the white Sox needs to be better at that than they are since they aren't in the same league financially as teams like the cubs, red sox, yanks or either LA teams.

Basically, you don't want any of that garbage.

Ruien 05-30-2016 12:15 PM

Isn't Abreau home grown? Danks was fine until this year. But ya, at least we had a miracle season that we can cling onto for another 10 years.

Frank Drebin 05-30-2016 04:34 PM

Abreu is from Cuba.

Nicky Fives 05-30-2016 06:56 PM

He hasn't been anywhere else, so that's close enough lol

ClockShot 05-30-2016 07:47 PM

Yankees send Luis Severino down to AAA to get his shit together.

Probably for the best. Next will be Pineda if he can't figure it out. But the best move at this point is to think about a starting pitcher between now and the trade deadline.

Damian Rey 2.0 05-30-2016 11:11 PM

I wonder if Cashman gets desperate and tries to shop the prospects they do have to bolster the rotation.

Emperor Smeat 05-30-2016 11:53 PM

Do they have enough quality prospects to do that?

Even if they fix the rotation, they'd still have serious hitting problems. Last in the division for scoring and 2nd to last in the AL.

ClockShot 05-31-2016 07:34 AM

No prospects. Got rid of like 10 during the offseason with the Castro & Chapman trades. Bags of money would work at this point.


All the Yankees can do at this point is tread water and stay the course until something changes.

Nicky Fives 05-31-2016 11:32 AM

I wouldn't deal Severino unless I was absolutely wowed at what I was getting back....

Ol Dirty Dastard 05-31-2016 12:44 PM

Still can't believe how stellar the Jays starting staff has been, trying to wait for the rest of the team to catch up.

Hope they use this new found momentum and go on a nice run in June.

YOUR Hero 05-31-2016 04:03 PM

8 of the last 11 is a good start
bullpen is a big issue.
Long live Estrada!

Damian Rey 2.0 05-31-2016 04:33 PM

Yankees still have Aaron Judge and the injured Greg Bird. Judge can attract some teams looking to move talent and though Bird is hurt I'm sure they can find a taker. They also have a ss prospect who's name escapes me.

ClockShot 05-31-2016 05:17 PM

Blue Jays about to acquire Jason Grilli from the Braves for a minor leaguer. Sean Ratcliffe's name is being tossed around right now.

ClockShot 05-31-2016 08:12 PM

UPDATE:

Trade's been made official.

Bad News Gertner 05-31-2016 11:51 PM

He can't be worse than Storen

Ol Dirty Dastard 06-01-2016 11:21 AM

It's a HAPP'nin again. Nice start lastnight... kind of wish they let him go 7 but he seemed to be coming unravelled a bit in the 6th so I get bring in Joey Ears in the 7th.

Got to Betances which is great. Especially when it's friggin Pillar and Barney getting your big hits.

Damian Rey 2.0 06-01-2016 02:04 PM

Marlon Bird likely suspended 162 games due to a failed PEDC test. That could mean he's finished for his career as a team would have to sign him to finish out the back end of the suspension assuming he's on a 1year deal.

Droford 06-01-2016 08:32 PM

Mookie Betts needs to be PED tested

Droford 06-01-2016 10:28 PM

Orioles have 13 runs in the 7 inning..no home runs

Nicky Fives 06-02-2016 11:19 AM

Seems like every Jays game I watch, they lose and when I don't watch, they win....

Ol Dirty Dastard 06-02-2016 01:30 PM

If they can win the socks series away it would seem like they are back in business.... But we shall wait and see

Droford 06-02-2016 09:49 PM

Last night the Orioles scored 13 runs without a home run
Tonight they scored 12 off 7 home runs

LOL
