I don't give a rats ass what they're telling us I still think he should have just had the surgery. This is not the same pitcher who started last season 11-1 with a 1.99 ERA & had 113 strike outs in 96 innings.
Fkn Hamilton, the POS Prima fkn Donna crosses the plate....... IMO, He should of been banned forever from MLB, after this last incident; thrown OUT on his head: Busted, for Coke, Meth, an alcoholic on top of anything else he probably took, yet still to be known to the public, altho' we know this much: 01 03 05 09 015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Hamilton#Drug_addiction_and_alcoholism When giving a brief summary of his recovery, Hamilton says simply: "It's a God thing." He does not shy away from telling his story, speaking to community groups and fans at many functions. He frequently tells stories publicly of how he believes that Jesus brought him back from the brink and that faith is what keeps him going. Hamilton also wrote an autobiography called which explains how he quit drugs and alcohol and found a relationship with God. In late 2008 Hamilton, among other celebrities, appeared in testimonial videos, in which he shares his story of recovering from drug use with the help of his Christian faith. Ok, Junky Hamilton; I wanna' know, where the Hell did Jesus Go...? I don't care to pick on anyone's religous beliefs, but this is utterly bullshit ridiculous. Won't be long til his next falling off the wagon. Statistics show, those who fail AA or NA, are approximately 90% apt, to return to drugs, again and again. As in Steve Howe's case, drugs will be found in his blood, when he dies.....
WAIT! Back the truck up, Headley is attempting to steal a base & Gardner hasn't attempted one in his last 38 games (June 12th). Okay, cue in the twilight zone theme.
tanaka, with the way joe worries bout his boys, why is he even pitching, this is not the tanaka we all know, does he figure what he's got is good enough? someone help me here
He's won his last 3 starts & has gone 7 in each of them. Granted he's not the same pitcher we signed but he's still effective.
from what i am hearing, and seeing 2nite, he's not been himself for awhile now, there is an obvious issue... why is he not letting loose?
I wasn't expecting another 20 run outburst but hell, I thought..............................AT LEAST 5. C'mon guys
tanaka looks timid on the mound, he knows he doesn't have his stuff, he is aiming the ball, almost looks like his pullin back on his pitches
Yesterday's blow out, reminded me of an Opening Day game in Oakland, a few years or so back; with the Yanx in town. That 1st game was a 21+ Run blowout, approx. Games 2 and 3 were won, convincingly by Oakland, after the blowout...... not saying, that's what's gonna' happen, just grease balling......where's my Vitalis and Butch Wax.....?
It's all about run differential! ________________________ Well said. Always a good idea to have more runs than the other guys and keep it that way. You only needed five words on the subject where I have used dozens. For instance: How many teams are there in first place with a minus run diff? How many, how often do teams FINISH in first place with a NEGATIVE run differential over the last 10 years......20 years......?......... In the past 10 seasons not a single team has played in the WS with a minus reg season run diff. Only TWICE (past 10 seasons) has a ML team with a minus reg season run differential finished in first place. That's 2 out of 60 teams. Only ONCE in the past 10 years has a team (2006 Rockies) finished in last place with a plus run differential, by one run -that's ONE out of 60 teams. And, as for finishing as a first place team...and especially a WS team...the percentages are tremendously favorable for teams with PLUS RUN DIFFERENTIALS. Same goes for the OTHER way down through the years.... if a team finishes in last place, chances are great they also finished with a negative run differential. We'll have to look long and hard to find a team which has BEEN to a WS in the past 25 -30 years which has FINISHED with a negative run differential . A very very rare animal. You only needed five little words to reach the bottom line without any fine print. My hats off to you.
