2008 Random Rumblings

[Kingdom]

RIP Yankees. We'll be back next year with a larger payroll and fewer wins to show for it.

You need Adam Eaton.

Hey guys, let's start winning now that the season's over!

6-2 sim...somehow I'm not mathematically eliminated, but I am 5 back of the wild card with 7 to play. So I'm pretty damn close to it.

No, Kotchman is.

ahhh, the good thing is that Detroit and Cleveland play each other 4 of their remaining 8 games...that should pretty much assure me of winning the Wild Card because I should end up ahead of at least one of them since I'm ahead of both right now.

SF has critical influence on the NL Wildcard. Colorado seems to swoon in Sept for 2 years now. AZ is 8 games over their pythagorean record and Colorado is 2 games under theirs. All that means nothing because the real record has AZ one game back. Both teams play a series with SF. AZ plays another series w/ LAN and Colorado plays Houston with one game against the Goliath of the NL, (the Cubbies).

Talk about critical... I wonder if two 5 game series will be allowed? Mulder has 5 more days until full recovery. Colorado has not performed to the standard of ChC or SD all season, BUT a 3-man rotation of Santana, Brazelton, and Mulder with Bonderman in the Bullpen can compete with any team.

Can the Rockies take the Wildcard?

Why does Dontrelle Willis have 8 AAA starts?????????

[Hammer]

so mission could avoid arbitration with him and have another year to lock him up long term

[browntown653]

It says he's going to arbitration though.
*confused*

[Providence A's]

it's so he won't become a FA

Arbitration (Estimate: $5,260,000), could become Free Agent with 41 more days of service this year.

He won't reach 41 more days because he was sent down earlier.

[krush]

this season is a disaster

Why does Dontrelle Willis have 8 AAA starts?????????

It was already answered... well partially. The truth is that D-Train realized the amount of action he got was huge as it was, but going down to AAA, it was like DTrainMania for him. He repeatedly said he was bigger than Jesus while in AAA and it never affected his image with the local press.

Him, Uggla, Overbay, and Josh Johnson ruled the streets down there. Well except for Overbay as he's a slacker.

The marlins' AAA is going to be the next reality show on MTV.

I would just like to let it be known that everyone on my roster is available for trade in the offseason except for Pujols. This includes Carpenter even though I just extended him and Rolen who is my 2nd best hitter but I really need to clear salary.

[Slyder]

2-5 sim to finish 3 fewer wins and the first pick of the draft next year *starts praying for a Juarez type spect*. Still a season or two away from the brunt of my farm being ready to compete. I've got some big questions I need to answer this offseason.
