I met Singleton at a bar in Midtown once upon a time. Nice dude, but what an idiot

Whitely is a better pitcher than martes and Paulino will ever be. He's also better right now than mchugh. We are in the business of winning now, not watching players clocks.

What could a Jewish baseball sensation from New Mexico, a Puerto Rican phenom from Santa Isabel, a member of a Cuban baseball royal family and a Venezuelan prodigy possibly have in common?
For one, they speak the same language.
Alex Bregman has managed to develop an unbreakable bond with his Latin Houston Astros teammates, particularly fellow infielders Carlos Correa, Yulieski Gurriel and Jose Altuve, by bridging the communication gap and learning to speak Spanish.
They each flash their WS ring to the bartender...NotGibbs said:

Wagner is also the only pitcher to pitch after the dead-ball era to have a sub 1.00 career WHIP.Ag_07 said:
Caught the tail end of this discussion on the radio as I went to lunch today.
Does Billy Wagner have a case for the HOF?
He had a 16 year career and finished with 422 saves (6th all time). He's ahead of HOFs Dennis Eckersley (7th), Rollie Fingers (17th), Goose Gossage (23rd), and Bruce Sutter (12th).
From 97-08 he had a run of seasons with 23, 30, 39, 6 (injury), 39, 35, 44, 21, 38, 40, 34, and 27 saves. 2009 was another injury year and only had 16 IP and finished his career in 2010 with 37 saves (had no idea he was that effective in ATL).
His career ERA was 2.31 as compared to Mariano's 2.21 and Hoffman's 2.87.
His K/9 finished at 11.92 as compared to Mariano's 8.22 and Hoffman's 9.36.
**I compared to these two just because Mariano is a sure first ballot HOFer and Hoffman was just voted in.
I never really thought about it until today but just looking at the surface I think he should be strongly considered. Not sure if he ever will, but I think he should be.
Cut to 15 minutes earlier, the Jewish player is looking all up and down the nearby alley for a place to park his wheelbarrow.Ag_07 said:mathguy86 said:They each flash their WS ring to the bartender...NotGibbs said:

And the Jewish player asks the bartender "Do you happen to have some shorter barstools?"
Giving him a weird look since no one has ever asked the question the bartender responded with "No sorry I don't. What's wrong with the stools I got?'
To which to the Jewish player responded "You try climbing all the way up on these stools with balls this big."
That's the best I got fellas

I know it probably won't happen for a couple of years or so... but any projections on when Corbin Martin might get called up to the show? I'd say 2020 if he keeps on track with what he did last season in rookie ball

Stay off their thread, guys. I don't want those chumps over here on ours. We won the WS. Who gives a shot what those guys think?
