And it's DOOOOD-DUHHHH like in 'Dude Where's My Car?'.

thanks. is he for real?

And I love bacon.

I could eat bacon every meal. Back bacon is pretty much the only thing Canadians do right.

I used to be informative but then I got busy which led to laziness.

this.

What happened to August 19th and 20th?

see above.

Wverves and I recommended some poor chap go with Estrada over Minor yesterday.
Sometimes it is better to just

yes! something ive never learned apparently.

I will be away for two weeks. Can I have a volunteer to start my daily thread on Tuesdays while I'm away?

i bet we could get H0rt to fill in.

speaking of which... why does Jaime Garcia suck now?

I way over traded for this guy back in June. I had way too much SB's and SV's, and nobody would trade for Coco, so gave up Bourn and coco for Garcia. Im still 2nd in SB's and saves, by a lot but Garcia just destroyed my ratios ... Well him and Crapuano ...

I love these daily threads. Wish I had more to say to be honest... but with that; anyone got a hot 3B tip for me?

Freese.

Todd Frazier might be worth a look at 3B.

Or this. Frazier is a better value at 2B, but in deep leagues, you could do worse.

Recent case of psoriasis on wr's penis.

i got it on my palm, and the doctor said it wasn't contagious ...

Hey Allen Craig played CF today

You drool over the strangest players.

Its amazing isn't it

Bumgarner

Dudes inconsistent.

I haven't even had time to read lately. I run 2 dart leagues in the South Shore area of MA, and right now they are overlapping. Playoffs in the summer league and all the setup work with the fall league means I'm barely getting any sleep much less having time for fun stuff, plus taking care of a sick father in law.

I hope pops is okay .... I haven't played Darts in forever, and now i want to join a league. Watch out world. Im making a comeback!!!!!!

He's a sleeping giant who has been awoken. I like him.

PS - has there ever been a less interesting match up in the history of baseball than tomorrow's scheduled Dan Runzler vs. Henry Sosa?

After years of watching Brett Tomkos starts, im sure i could find a few ..

So does this mean that Aussie got one right when it comes to Duda, or are we going to need Sluggers to make it official?

With Mets you need to always temper expectations, and also keep in mind that if he breaks a finger nail there's always the possibility of it being career ending with the Mets' training staff. He has a pretty nice ML track record, though, and if they continue to let him play, I think he'll do well, though with him moving to RF next season when he's a natural 1B, we'll see if that affects him at all.

For me, its a real toss up between him and Blanks for the rest of the season ...

any guesses as to which way i am leaning so far?

Any time you can choose Padre batter vs. any non-Padre batter, you go with the non-Padre batter, now that Adrian is mashing in Boston. 1/2 with 2 more RBI today. He's gonna help a lot of H2H playoff runs, IMO.

i just heard a bizarre stat and im trying to confirm it. The Padres lead the NL in runs scored since the allstar break? anybody care to look it up for me?

oh and ... Blanks 2/4 tonight, 2 runs, 2 rbis, and a shot ..
The Marlins aren't very good.

Sweet!
I hope they keep it up. Knocking the Giants out of the post season is going to be awesome ...
