Anyone else listening on radio?
Howarth just blasted Lawrie for his camera bay crash last year and saying how of he keeps playing like that it's non wonder he only gets to play in 60% of the games.
LOL
Random note
Watched the Simpsons movie for about the 10th time last week. Every time I do, I laugh at new jokes I somehow missed other times. This time it was Mr. Burns sitting at his giant desk with 3 people asking him for electricity. His initial response "Aha, for once the rich white man is in charge!"

It is
I always took it as scoring without getting big hits/home runs.
Singles, walks, stolen bases, bunts, advancing the runners on ground outs, sacrifice fly, etc. Some combination of the above.
I would consider that but I can't see AA doing anything but sticking with Navarro next year.
2 years ago was the time to sign Martin. We missed a HUGE opportunity. (Of course so did 20+ other teams including the Yankees)
I wish Pompey was getting some playing time
Now that any shred of playoff hope is gone, might Gibby put him out there? Not that 12 games is meaningful but just to get his feet wet.
Might as well reduce Bautista's playing time now and give the kid a few starts
The only booing that really bothers me is Vernon Wells
Honestly WTF is up with that??? The guy was sent out in a pure cold-hearted salary dump, was visibly hurt because he actually wanted to stay here, and (some) idiots at the RC boo him when he plays in Toronto again???
I think the bat is so good in the 2 spot that if you can sign him for 2-3 years +/- options you do that for sure. Then you feel better with Gose (obviously all glove no bat) in centre and Bautista in right.
If some other idiot GM wants to sacrifice a draft pick AND give Melky 4+ years you bite your lip, let him go and collect a draft pick. But then you need an extra OF this off season cause we CAN'T use Gose + Pillar next year under any circumstance.
