Great heavens! Hubby won’t play Scrabble with me because I’m such a whiz at it but even I never use words like THAT.

I haven’t seen the words that jeffrey is playing, but I’d definitely be a little suspicious given the fact that he’s beating McFann, who seems intelligent to me, by over 300 points. Maybe it’s the luck of the draw, but she did mention that he always seems to start each game with a 50 point lead.
I don’t know how smart jeffrey is… his posts seem intelligent. However, if he’s playing 100+ point words I’d have to call them into question.
Nothing personal jeffrey, it’s just that my own personal experiences with the game and people who win running away the way you seem to be usually means there’s something fishy going on.

ncscoots, I wasn’t even thinking about Kimbrel when I referenced Bobby overworking the bullpen. I was mainly thinking about Moylan and Venters.

Ha, well, thanks…but being the non-bookworm that I am, my vocabulary isn’t the sharpest.
And I was exaggerating about him starting with a 50 point lead.
I’m usually the one that starts the game, anyway…

Such cynicism is unbecoming to the Murph Manifesto.

The best part was the email confrontation…
So, Arianna, do you even know what zeaxanthin means?
Yes, it’s one of the two primary xanthophyll carotenoids contained within the retina of the eye.
Huh… how do you know that?
I wrote a report on retinas once…
Really? How come the font changed in your email after the word “it’s”… copy and paste much?

Nature of the beast. A manager is lucky if he has three middle guys down there that he can throw out without taking something to soothe his stomach first. Those guys are middle relievers for a reason. It’s only natural that you send out the guy in which you have confidence, and that means some guys are going to get the bulk of the work. Doubt any of that is going to change.

What game are they playing? If it’s Scrabble, there are tons of programs out there that will let you put your letters in and give you words that get you a lot of points. I used to be good at Scrabble until I found someone using one of those programs against me, so I haven’t played since. Not saying that is what is happening, but the option is always there.

Hey Richmond- instead of letting your player stand there and bleed all over the court and cause a delay, maybe you should have gotten out there faster with something bigger than a piece of gauze…just a thought.

jeffrey, when you come on here and read all of these replies about your cheating, I didn’t really say that you cheated… I more implied that you’re cheating. Innocent until proven guilty…

I am rooting for Martinez to get the final spot. I’ve been one of his most vocal supporters and it’d be a shame for him not to. I mean Fredi likes him, so that give him a chance right there to make the team with the final spot.

Thanks a million for all your daily updates, DOB, Carrol. It’s a lifeline for this Dutch baseball nutt. Harstikke bedankt!

Brian Jordon just said Adam LaRoche will take 10 errors off an infielders error total over what (Adam Dunn) the Nats had at first base last year.
You can count of something close to that for what Freddie Freeman will do for Uggla and AGon. Uggla is not nearly as bad at 2nd as the Marlins first basemen and the Marlins home field made him look.
