    wow, I thought I was a real pessimist until I heard a caller earlier on the FAN state that the bad thing about a long winning streak is when the streak ends there is a period where a team feels deflated and can lead to a slump. LMAO.

    The trick, then, is winning only leads to losing. One must NEVER WIN!

    Winning only leads to momentum backlash. The streak giveth and it taketh away.

  24. Comment posted by Danny on July 18, 2008 at 4:59 pm (#770294)

    We could stem the backlash by never losing again.

    What say you?

    The other bad thing about a winning streak is that it is very visible. You can’t sneak up on a team. LMAO!!!!

    LOL. Harold Bloom on A-Rod:

    “The great Alex Rodriguez, the famous A-Rod, is not a clutch performer,” he said. “He compiles these enormous statistics, but every time I make the mistake of looking at a game he comes up with two out and men on second and third, and does nothing.”

    The Mets apparently are tentatively scheduling pedro to start on Tuesday.

    Why push it? He can start next Saturday and nobody will be worse for the wear. I don’t get it.

    I agree, no reason to push it at all.

    his long-term health easily trumps any 1 start in importance

    yup, everything on that baseball ref page has moved up

    LF is our only black hole. both catcher and 1B are at 90 level, at least

    even the bench #’s have jumped up

    Jerry is like Willie in playing him out there. He’s awful.

    LOL Ed. nice one.

    Jerry’s thing seems to be getting everyone steady ABs to keep everyone fresh. I dont mind him playing marlon under that kinda motive.

    The Phillies were recently working on a blockbuster with Colorado that would have netted them Brian Fuentes and Matt Holliday for something like Shane Victorino, J.A. Happ, Carlos Carrasco, and Lou Marson. Those talks have stalled, and the added payroll might’ve been a problem for the Phillies anyway.

  64. Comment posted by Dep on July 18, 2008 at 5:34 pm (#770331)

    Though Frank McCourt denies it, Rosenthal says the Dodgers owned vetoed a CC Sabathia/Casey Blake/Jamey Carroll blockbuster because of a desire to keep trades payroll-neutral.

  65. Comment posted by Danny on July 18, 2008 at 5:46 pm (#770332)

    I would only do that Holliday/Fuentes deal if the Rockies threw in Taveras.

    what a weird deal that would’ve been for the philth

    Its funny, Willie in 2006 and 2007 used to play the bench a lot too.
    This year, due to pressure I guess, he didn’t.

    Of course Willie only said he did it because of his gut.
