I would pitch Dickey between two hard throwers.

Keep the other team off balance for a while.

clearly, he is no Josh Thole, who should then be on the squad for his glove alone?

LaRussa is however deserving of scorn for his shitting on Queto and Greinke using an explanation that might violate the CBA

Fuck Queto and Phillips. That is all.

There are no CBA rules in place for who the manager can select.

Ah, so he’s just ignorant on how the rule works…weird for someone who wants you to know how smart he is, I’m still gonna guess there was pettiness involved

BTW Cleet, thanks for that link on twitter on Saturday, was awesome

Your welcome, I was going through an old post I did for an old tumblr site about video game music and remembered you referenced that CVII last week.

to be fair cleet, many folks were waiting/hoping for braun to fall through his ass

True, but few did it with such certainty and arrogance as our fearless leader.

You always start with the knuckleballer, and follow up with fastballer. Standard baseball logic (I thought).

Larussa’s a massive jackass … but he does have rings.

This seems like a perfectly good spot to give a shout out to the King of No Pants squad, which is currently a cool 28.5 games up on the 2nd place team in the unofficial TBL fantasy league.

To Matt Cain, MadBum, CC, Ernesto, Cap’n Jete, Miggy, Ethier, Yadier, Trout, and the rest: Well done on a solid first half of ball. Keep it up boys…

I get that TLR is an asshole and people don’t like him, but this is just completely false. Read the CBA again – the rule only applies if the player has already been placed on the team. There are no CBA rules in place for who the manager can select.

.306/.391/.599 slash to go along with 40 extra-base hits in 80 games

Guess we’ll have to draw our own conclusions.

For TBL:

Ryan Braun went 2-for-4 with a double, RBI, walk, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Sunday’s 10-inning win over the Astros.
The RBI was Braun’s 61st, while the swipes were his 14th and 15th. The National League’s reigning MVP will close the first half with a .306/.391/.599 slash to go along with 40 extra-base hits in 80 games

The managers of the previous World Series teams get the ASG, don’t think Bud invented that rule

No, but he did make it so the ASG in baseball ‘matters’. Since it does, LaRussa shouldn’t be managing the game
