Yeah, I was thinking that too.

Too early for one, we might need two of these.

Hey man, I'm laughing at the good joke

But honestly, who here DOESN’T know where I went to school? Where does NittanyCub attend school? It’s such a mystery where NittanyCub could have gone; NittanyCub seldom talks about it too.

Well Mr. Smartypants

if you were replying to Joel you should have replied to his comment. You repied to NittanyCub. Notice my reply was to NittanyCub and not you?

by sue369 on May 11, 2008 3:21 PM CDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

Then reply to his comment, not mine, Mr. Baseball.

You just made yourself look even smarter than before, which I didn’t think was possible. That, or you’re backtracking your words because I called you out on a stupid question.

i dont think that was a strike that pitch has been called a ball all day

and then recently it has been a strike

Actually you're probably right.

Soto has been behind the plate and all day and has seen the same pitches called a ball.

Where would you put Marquis? The bullpen?

If that scenario works out, I hope they trade him.

I would hope they could trade him but if push comes to shove and

he wont pitch nicely both mentally and physically out of the pen DFA him….

Marquis has been a cancer almost everywhere he has been. That being said without him we dont make the playoffs last year.
