you know, i've been listening to this show a pretty good amount over the last week or so and i really can't see why you lot have been bitching about goff being some kind of horrible cancer to this show.
now don't get me wrong, the dude obviously reads the board so you know he's gonna soak in the criticisms of his schtick from the spiegel and goff era, but a lot of the stuff that people seem to bitch about is pretty much nonexistant as he's been doing his thing in the "terry chair" and the show's been the kind of "b&b methadone" that i said it would be from day one (cuz you don't bring back jason "get your ones up" goff if you wanna have a new show, you bring him back if you wanna try to close your eyes and pretend it's 2005 like we need to be valuing continuity while looking forward to progressive changes or whatever the fuck that old bears quote was =)
girardi was awesome today. that's one of those ozzie-type-dudes who could manage my team, and i had no idea that the yankees ousted him for AARON FK'N BOONE!!!!!!! good luck with that.... i wonder if there's a good story behind it cuz girardi always seemed like a good solid stoic baseball dude who had a balance between "oldschool baseball" and the newfangled "stats revolution" (i wish i coulda seen the look on his face when bernstein happily brought up PECOTA... i bet it was good!)
incidentally, speaking about the yankees if i was the white sox i'd see if i could try to pry away a broken/ish michael pineda from the yankees for a song and try to work some don cooper magic on him. yeah his shoulder got pretty fucked up after his rookie year where like, damn, watching 98-99mph michael pineda go up against triple-crown-caliber migcab was some appointment baseball, but still you know dude's getting lit up out there lately and i still think the dude can pitch if someone can get through to him.
Pineda is a Twin. DO. BETTER.
