Re: 5/9 Game Thread: Splitting the Twins

Remember debating whether to trade for Polanco or Kepler. Welp Kepler has a .952 OPS and Polanco is at .594. Guess Jerry chose wrong like he does EVERY single time with position players... Except that if we'd traded for Kepler, their OPSs right now would probably be reversed. We just have the oppos...

Re: Rookie Camp

LOL why can't she stand it? Wenatchee isn't exactly the big city, but it's a thriving metropolitan compared to the small little "B" schools in the area. I wanted to move to Cashmere, but the price of housing when we moved was ridiculous. Small towns are also crazy for the rumor mill. I moved out in...

Re: Rookie Camp

That's surprising. No-one from the 83/84 O lines - McKenzie, Bush, Essink, Bailey, Pratt, ??? - made a Pro Bowl? I just remember them talking about the Center we traded to the Jets making a Pro Bowl after....and that Jones was the first. Looks like Jones in 01, and the next one was Hutch in 03. htt...

Re: Rookie Camp

I reported on the Wenatchee Church Child Abuse Sex Crimes case a thousand years ago and sat in that Waterville courthouse for a while. Good times! I remember that. My wife was the Douglass County Clerk for many many years, so you would have met her. My grandmother was the bailiff, so you may have m...

Re: Rookie Camp

What do you mean by stability? How much the position is up for grabs or how good it is overall? I don't expect Haynes to be above average as a rookie and don't expect much from Olu. Hope to be pleasantly surprised. I don't expect much out of any of them. Cross hasn't exactly played like a first rou...

Re: Rookie Camp

Didn't he say he grew up in a small town by Wenatchee? I take it Drew moved from there to Walla Walla. I grew up in a tiny town outside of Wenatchee called Waterville. Drew moved away in the sixth grade. They first moved to Benton City, but eventually ended up, of course, in Walla Walla. I drove th...

Re: Rookie Camp

I hope that's the case because the Bledsoe I heard of around town is that he was rather douchie. If you were a high school friend, he was great, but to the rest of the public he felt we should pray at the Shrine of Bledsoe. That's unfortunate. As I said, I had a few interactions with him and the fa...

Re: Rookie Camp

I went to grade school with Drew. Our houses were actually only separated only by an open lot next to a church. Spent a lot of time with him. It's been a few years since I last saw him, but when I did? Still really down to earth. Good dude. Wild. Had no idea. Yeah, tiny little farming town outside ...
