they will again omit guys like Roberto Alomar (too many teams and career OVAH at 33) and Barry Larkin (didn't hit as well as A-Rod

Of course, they will again omit guys like Roberto Alomar (too many teams and career OVAH at 33) and Barry Larkin (didn't hit as well as A-Rod, which is how all modern SS hit) and Alan Trammell (see Larkin, and no MVPs either) and Bert Blylevin (so what if he was a better all around pitcher in every way than Morris? too many replica Longines L2.672.4.73.4 Men's watch teams and Real Men Pitchers Win Games even without any run support when they pitch for crappy teams and besides, Cy Young votes shouldn't be given to great pitchers on crappy teams.)But we know that SOMEbody has got to be elected because MLB needs the pub in the middle of football season and the museum needs the money.Always comes back to money, doesn't it??And I hope all yall had a better Thanksgiving than we did.

We had to put Phat Stuff Dog to sleep.Remember Phat Stuff? It was right after I brought him home from the pound that the Astros went on their 2004 sudden streak to the finish that gave us an unexpected post-season berth and Phil Garner the undeserved reputation as the guy who turned the franchise around as soon as he got here.I just hope that the replica Longines L5.158.4.84.6 watch Astros post season appearances haven't been buried with Phat Stuff Dog.Tim Lincecum won his second NL Cy Young, edging Chris Carpenter by 4 points.This upset several sportswriters such as Bill Conlin (Phillies) and Bryan Burwell (Cardinals) who complained that Lincecum won only 15 games and that we have fallen into the Valley of VORP or some such un-understandable gibberish in which winning is no longer valued.Winning is, of course, valuable.

And, of course, the point of pitching is to throw the ball in such a way that the other team is unable to reach base and score runs.This goes without argument.However, the starting pitcher is not solely responsible for his team's victory.Duh.He can lose a no-hitter if his fielders make errors and allow batters to reach base and come home to score.He replica Longines L2.655.0.57.2 Ladie's watch can give up only one solo homer and lose if his hitters can't manage to score.These guys know this stuff.They like to pretend that Back In The Good Old Days, every one of the 16 teams had 4 pitchers who pitched every 4th day, threw complete games every time, threw over 120 pitches/start without deleterious effect and pitched for 20 years.

And we'll also be sure to sign some more Erstad/Michaels/Cruz Jr.washed up bench guys so as to make sure that no young guy really

And we'll also be sure to sign some more Erstad/Michaels/Cruz Jr.washed up bench guys so as to make sure that no young guy really has a chance.And I know this because Justice has reported that the Organization told him they expect to be competitive and around here, that means Old Guys.Until I actually SEE a young guy who isn't one of Fast replica Longines L5.158.0.16.6 watch Eddie's pets, like Bourn and Wright, being given any sort of REAL chance, I won't believe it.And really, the only news is that the Cubs signed some LOOGY for $$$ and that some other FA IF signed somewhere with someone.

I suppose you'd call it “news” that Yankee and Red Sox fans are arguing over how Toronto should be grateful to take the Yankees crappy failed ML pitchers or the Red Sox low minor league guys.And the usual stuff about picking players for the Hall of Fame how nobody is as good as The Guys Back In The Old Days who used to hit .360 and used to throw 300 innings/year for 20 years and 200 pitches a game every 4 days and still end up replica Longines L2.155.9.53.6 Ladie's watch with a 2.00 ERA.Last year, a huge vocal Red Sox fan group managed to convince too many voters that steroid-free Jim Ed Rice induced TEH FEAR! into hitters to the extent that he deserved HOF admission for his 5 good years in MLB.Did I mention he was steroid-free? And his rages were not roid? This year, it is good pitcher Jack Morris (he won the most games in the decade of the 80s!

and beat the Braves 1-0 in a 10 inning CG in the 01 WS! nevermind the terrible record he otherwise put up in the postseason) who is getting the push from the baseball writers who are rebelling at the insidious, devisive and poisonous presence of the Keith Law/Rob Neyers of the world who use statistics other than ERA, complete games and !wins! to evaluate pitchers.Whatever.I just hope that if roid-free “Old Skool” guys like Morris are going to get in, that hopefully the writers will also elect Andre Dawson and Tim Raines and Fred McGriff (hey, ALL steroid-free! replica Longines L2.175.4.53.6 Ladie's watch!)

IF he were to undergo full scale rebuilding of the sort that was done in the early

IF he were to undergo full scale rebuilding of the sort that was done in the early 90s, he would have to make very VERY sure it didn't look to fans as if he wanted an extra 50 mill for himself.AND he would have to populate the entire team with guys who appear to be rising STARS, not just Erstads or Cody Ransoms.Yep, it has been 1 week since I last posted.What has happened? crickets Well, Fast Eddie decided that Koby replica Longines L2.643.4.51.6 Men's watch Clemens weren't worth putting on the 40 man roster because, hey, who needs guys who can hit? You can add some crappy relievers like and I am NOT

this up Evan Englebrook, RH RP, age gonnabe 28, 25 IP over 21 G at AA (for his third year): minor league line over 6 seasons replica Longines L2.155.0.71.7 Ladie's watch over 448 IP.Or hows about Jose G.Valdez, RH RP (age almost 27) picked up as a minor league FA from the Yankees, who posted this sterling line at AAA 19 IP over 9 G: 4.19 ERA/1.71 WHIP (yeah, I know, small sample size) with a career minor league line of 3.58 ERA/1.31 WHIP over 518 IP: 8.7 H/ ; 3.6 BB/9; 6.9 K/9.You don't wanna hear about the other 2 guys put on the 40 man.Fast Eddie has this obsession with picking up crappy relievers by the fistful, then signing crappy bench guys, then worrying about what to do with the ML roster.

Me, I'd rather give the Bogusevic/Locke type guys a chance than watch tons of crappy ML rejects flounder around.For every Russell Branyan/Carlos Pena reclamation projects that succeed, there are hundreds of Jason Michaels/Matt Kata ones that replica Longines L5.158.7.16.6 watch don't.Natually, the Astros have zero interest in either of the 2 primo OF FA, Bay and Holliday, or the primo FA pitcher, Lackey.I'm sure that at the end of the season, we'll be sure to sign some more Mike Hampton/Russ Ortiz/Shawn Chacon leftover dreck to keep any young guys who don't have 1.00 ERA at the end of Spring Training off the starting roster.

One more time now WHICH club out there is going to pay that kind of money

One more time now WHICH club out there is going to pay that kind of money for a guy on the downside of his career who very well might NOT have that last bounceback year? Who here really thinks that this mystical club is gonna pay 14.5 mill PLUS a buyout/option year AND give the astros even ONE good, young player? Now that just might could happen at the deadline, all right, especially if Lance has a good year, but not now.At that time, replica Longines L2.688.4.78.9 Men's watch Drayton might could possibly eat a few mill IF Tal/Eddie/Pam persuaded him he was getting back at least ONE guy who had some serious upside, especially if he could be put right on the ML roster.Roy? Well, he'll be paid 15 mill this year and 16 mill next year, and he has a 2 mill buyout.

I love the boy to death, but he's had nagging injury problems and back problems for a couple of years now, and I doubt he's going to turn back the hands of time to 5 years ago.He really isn't worth ace money any more sorry, but unfortunately, it is true.What evidence is there that any team has any interest in trading for him right now, replica Longines L2.155.0.53.7 Ladie's watch let alone giving us any good prospects for him? I think that the days of the Braves giving 4 top notch prospects for 1 major leaguer with 2 team-controlled years are gone.I think the days of teams giving prospects for old and expensive non-ace pitchers in their last 2 years of a free agent contract are LONG gone.The thing is that Drayton has to sell tickets.

He is going to have a lot of trouble doing so if he appears to be getting rid of all his highly paid players so that he can lower the payroll by 50 million dollars while fans at the ballpark pay 6 bucks for a soda and 8 bucks for beer.If Drayton replica Longines L2.673.8.78.5 Men's watch starts coming off like Jeff Loria, he will see his ballpark filled like Marlins Stadium (or whatever its most recent name is.) Stars market a team.They do.Drayton CAN'T market very well with Wandy, Pence and Bourn and a handful of cast-offs.

This is the new URWERK 201 Blackshark. Kronosclub says,"Just like the 103 the 201 will have a Platinum PVD'ed version. This "thing" sends shivers down my spine. At this point I don't know if I am just biased or what ever the guys at URWERK come out with I just think is awesome. I wish there is a more "affordable" URWERK inside the future. I replica DKNY Chronograph WoMen's watch told Felix numerous times that a 102 in PVD'ed steel and a price tag under 10K would be a real killer. Unfortunately, Felix's idea isn't to mass produce his watches (and I don't blame him). He believes that any manufacture that crosses the 500 pieces per year mark makes looses integrity.

Businessweek Hermès may have only won about $30,000 in the recent counterfeit lawsuit against eBay, however the case sets a precedent for current and future cases.LVMH currently has a suit pending against eBay, that could cost Seiko SPA841P1 watch $57 million dollars.Google has already lost over $400,000 to LVMH in the past, for allowing counterfeiters to purchase keywords on their Adwords network. Counterfeiting thrives online and I am glad the courts are finally cracking down on this illegal business.
