  1. There is no way I am having this guy on playoff roster ..he is horrible
  2. Nobody has ever been more in need of a nickname than Heston ….. Kjerstad lol Kjerstad is a Norwegian name.. Norse … Hiw about Thor? Syndergaard already has His middle name is Sawyer… Tom? Lol
  3. Maybe he gets it out of the way rather than getting the zero in playoffs!!
  4. They don’t throw those kinds of curves in AAA , do they Heston?
  5. Rays losing 7-0.. did they bring their single A team up?
  6. Could be, could be.. fortunately the Rays are losing 7-0 !!
  7. Sure.. why not? Let the pitching lab and staff work all winter with him.
  8. Thanks, Roy, soooo much for sharing your beautiful experiences with Brooks!! The chapter on Brooks in Joe Posnanski’s book, The Baseball 100, is wonderful. The author’s father would drill him as a boy growing up in Cleveland by having him dive left and right after a Wiffle ball.. urging him all the while to “be like Brooks Robinson”. He writes: “Brooks broke his left arm and collarbone when he was very young and taught himself (with his dad’s help) to throw right handed. Can you imagine how different baseball history would have been (and all our lives- my comment) had Brooks not broken his arm? He would have thrown left handed and not played third base. To the question he answered in a school essay at age 13 of why he believed he could become a big league ballplayer, he wrote “I’m slow to anger and not easily discouraged;am enthusiastic, happy, calm, and very active.” … I think that came through with the way he played”..(and the way he lived.-my comment )
  9. I could have sworn I saw him talking with pitchers on the bench-GRod and Means and him
  10. Yes … billionaires and Governors hugging each other and partying about some “accomplishment” always makes me nervous.
  11. Not mine … cause I am old! Really old. But they are in the top 5 lol
  12. John has done better than the old man. Agree! Pretty unlikely that John alienates an AL Manager of the year shortly after he wins the award to the extent that he resigns his job.
  13. I tell you what ..watching the postgame celebration, I suddenly realized..Tyler is HUGE!!!! He towered over others he was standing next to!
  14. Great stuff!!!! Brooklyn Dodgers won 2 so LA Dodgers only 7. Philadelphia Athletics won 5, Oakland As 4, Las Vegas As TBD, New York Giants 4, SF Giants 4 Boston Braves 1 , Atlanta Braves 8 lol I am a “leave the legacy to the city” kind of guy lol .. Indianapolis has no claim to Johnny U.
  15. I am convinced Brooksie and Frank and Mike and Earl and all the Os who we have loved over the years were having a great celebration too!!!
