Hmm.
Hmm again. No Papi, Coco leading off?
If Papi needs off, are we sure we couldn't do this?:
DP, Youks, Drew, Bay, Lowell, Lowrie, Ells, Tek, Crisp?
Everyone should feel free to submit their own "better-than-Tito's" lineup to start the thread. Hopefully Papi is just sitting because of Danks being LH. Speaking of which, Coco does have an .884 OPS vs. LHPs this season...still like my lineup better.

Yikes
Ellsbury in RF has no arm. A struggling Mike Lowell hitting clean-up. If they’re going to DH an OF, how about Bay? He is by far the worst defensive OF of the four.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
He has a decent arm.
Not as good as Drew but still very good.
hey dudes
this is blatant self-pimping, but whatever:
i take the pitch f/x data to do a scouting report. nothing you guys don’t already know until you get to the bottom. i wouldn’t mind some notes since you guys get to see him all the time and i wrote that without any game tape in hand.
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
i think it's going to be a solo shot fest today for the pale hose
but no guarantees, obvs. this is baseball.
nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
I will say that one of your big 3 power hitters will get one...
and another less powerful player will get a multi-RBI HR. We are gonna be playing small ball to best of our abilities tonight, IMO.
My perfect lineup w/o Papi (as perfect as can be anyways):
Ells, DP, JD, Youk, Bay, Jed, Lowell, Tek, Coco
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
BTW - with Papi:
JD, DP, Papi, Youk, Bay, Ells, Lowell, Tek, Jed
(L, R, L, R, R, L, R, S, S)
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
I like it
I would only switch Jed and Lowell. Good lineup though.
For which line up: w/ Papi or w/o?
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Coco's up to lead off teh game.
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Without Papi
Ells, DP, JD, Youk, Bay , Lowell, Tek, Coco
But I also wouldn’t have Coco in, I would have Casey in and if that were the case I would have Casey before Tek.
Where's Jed? Shooting at some food?
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Sorry
Ells, DP, JD, Youk, Bay, Lowell, Jed, Tek, Coco
So basically my lineup with Jed and Lowell switched, which is what you said above.

Btw.
Anyone subject themselves to Jon Heyman today?
Long story short is that he believes Manny might’ve/was tanking it his last few weeks, but that it had nothing to do with Boras being his new agent. In my opinion, there’s only two things to believe about Manny and his last month/whatever in Boston.
1. He was ailing/hurt, and didn’t need to do anything that would aggravate his knee further.
2. He and Boras orchestrated the entire chain of events in order to get him out of Boston and into a big contract in the offseason.
I don’t give a F. what side anyone comes down on, I just can’t imagine a scenario in which, if he was tanking, Scott Boras had nothing to do with it.

I don't like football
And I don’t like the hype around it. I’m a big fan of two guys these days: Tom Brady and Peyton Manning (yeah, contradiction, I know). This might sound moronic, but the football I like is the crazy wild one, like the Rams had back a few years, and the one with Dan Marino as a QB. These days everything seems too mechanic, I don’t know, but meanwhile there are too many dumb coaches and bad QBs on the field. So that’s why I watch the Patriots and the Colts, because when they play I always expect fun.

Not too much a contradiction, I think.
Different in a lot of ways, but they’re both (as much as I hate to admit this about Peyton) big-time “winners”, for whatever that term is worth, and seem able to elevate the play of some of those around them. Both very good at decision-making.

Watching Rex Grossman throwing a football is one the most painful things ever. But actually, I never cared much for football, so I’ll give it a better shot this year.

Good in the OF. He doesn’t need to always use what is pretty good speed, because he 99% of the time takes excellent routes to the ball and positions himself well.

Who do you see picking up Manny? And for how much? I’d guess LAD for 3 years $17 million each.
Could see LAD
Could see LAA, if they decline GA’s option. Could see Detroit, if they can unload the Sheff somehow. Phillies if/when they make their less-than-sincere effort to retain Pat Burrell. Mets, because Omar Minaya hasn’t been shy in his interest before. CWS, when/if they don’t exercise Thome’s option, that looks like it may not vest on its own.
