Graham hears ya. Graham don't care. (obligatory Simpsons reference) Seriously, Graham remembers people getting into a big hub-bub about his "I am the greatest!" announcement when he stole the base. They thought it was tacky. Then they didn't care as much as Rickey's accomplishment was pushed aside in the headlines by something just as phenomenal on the same day in the same sport: Nolan Ryan throws his 7th no-hitter at age 45. Personally, Graham thinks Rickey is/was great. Baseball isn't the same without Rickey. Graham misses Rickey.
Smithers, that is the entire point of the holiday. I think looseness and fun is more needed than intensity, but they have been having some fun, you can tell. Brown's intensity is nice though, despite how lots of people think he's a jerk. He just likes to be left alone so he can be in the zone on pitching days. Moose is like that too, only less aggressive. When Quantrill signed, he joked (or did he) that the best thing about leaving LA was "leaving Brown behind"...
yeah, the fun is much more needed. and last night they finally looked like they were having fun, busting on bernie's karate chop swing and seeing mattingly crying cause he was laughing so hard.
er... Dave thinks looseness and fun....
Holden believes that Ben Sheets is another Jeff Weaver waiting to happen for the Yankees. Similar situations -- average numbers with a good start to a season on a small market team. Similar results?
Sean didn't know it was EVERY Friday....Sean now comes across like an ass who doesn't know his holidays. Sean promises to make this a Hallmark moment in the future...
Ben Sheets is a DL move waiting to happen.
Vito90 says the Diablos first game is Sunday. w00t! for whatever that means. Also, since we're just BS'ing, and there's no link yet, Jayson Williams was found NOT GUILTY of aggravated assault. Still awaiting the reckless endangerment verdict.
Bill wonders if Ben Sheets will find himself being auctioned on eBay if he does move to the Yankees.
