If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

It amuses me to no end how Polanco is making the Pirates look like total fools for keeping him down, just so they can save several million 5 years from now. Last 2 days, he's 6-8 with a homer, 6 RBI and 4 runs scored. Average back to .378..."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Cumpton?After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

Schoenfield says that the Pirates could potentially save an estimated $15 million in future salaries.

Originally posted by Hornsby View PostI've not heard a figure that high, the most common figure that I've heard is somewhere around 5 million, but I suppose that it's possible. But even so, that would be spread over 2-3 years or so most likely, not something that would break a MLB club. And how much revenue do they lose by NOT making the playoffs this season, if it comes to that? Or just in lost revenue from fans who aren't coming to the park in a mini protest? No matter what the reason is, it seems very short sighted from both a baseball, and a business perspective.

You reap what you sow...try to save a dime now, and it'll cost you a dollar later."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Originally posted by cavebird View PostHey, paying for better pitching certainly could have helped. I am just saying, two months of most rookies isn't anywhere near enough difference to change a team really struggling into a playoff team."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

So...when does one throw in the towel on Liriano in a 12-team mixed league? I'm at least getting smart and leaving him far, far away from my lineup, but is there any hope for him?Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?
