    - Thanks. I'll have to catch the highlights later. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 15:26
    - Wait, the catcher didn't take a step or two farther up the line to tag him? - Will Hunting Apr 6, 14:58 1
      - I would really like to see a wider frame before I blame Pearce. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 6, 15:10
  - If somebody is praising Selig, Hell must have froze over. -- nm - David Apr 6, 14:41
Henderson Alvarez just threw 91, 52, 91 on consecutive pitches. - David Apr 6, 14:28 2

    - It was serious, to gauge interest, just kept several bullets in reserve. -- nm - budice Apr 6, 14:27 3
      - That's not a serious offer. I would have just declined without bothering to respond there. -- nm - spamlet Apr 6, 14:45

  - If Davis was part of the package, I might be interested... - Will Hunting Apr 6, 14:21 2
    - Davis can be used at 3B, so that probably would have helped. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 6, 14:28 1
      - Yup. Now I have arguably the top two 3B's in the majors (Davis and Longoria) -- nm - Strongbad Apr 6, 16:58
- Maybe the offer was in honor of Musubi's return. -- nm - David Apr 6, 14:14

- The DH or interleague play. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 14:21
- the dirty, dirty knuckleball. - Max Apr 6, 14:15 3
  - I love knuckleball pitchers, and think there are not enough of them in the game :) -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 6, 14:16 2
    - *plays pick-up with dad* It was catch until he started throwing submarine knuckleballs. Then it was let the damn thing go - Will Hunting Apr 6, 14:19 1

- If you were offering Will 100 projected HRs, you were offering him 4 players. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 6, 14:11 1
  - I posted it above. It....wasn't 100 homers unless Yahoo went cracky. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 14:12
[deleted] 2
- I do believe rules are that once close to have to stay close rest of the game so if it starts closed it stays closed -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the dark galaxy Apr 6, 13:57 1
  - Which is good becuase it permits the game to be played. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 6, 14:13
