Star Pitcher Pinched

Star Pitcher Sullies Team, Caught With Hooch
Teammates View Art Nehf Askance, Mindful of Series Loss
With the hopes and year-long dreams of post-championship attaboys dashed by the cross-town behemoth Yankees, whose steadfastness in the face of worthy competition proved too daunting for even our nifty boys, star pitcher Art Nehf was caught with a hip flask full of hooch, besmirching his name and reputation as well as that of his fair team.
Though Nehf's doggy, Joe Brooks appearance has always led this observer to believe that he partook of a belt of giggle water whenever convenient, the official pinch only confirms our suspicions. Nehf proved to be quite the sap by carrying the skee on the hip; though he was not zozzled at the time of his arrest, there is every indication that he was planning on going hoary-eyed through the streets of New York, stumbling from speakeasy to speakeasy.
Far be it from this observer to be the town killjoy, but Nehf's predilection for getting owled or fried to the hat whenever the opportunity arose quite possibly could be the reason for the Giants' crushing defeat in the Contest of Contests this solemn autumn. For no Yankees player has yet to be popped for panther sweat in the past year, which just might account for their uncanny ability to hit on all sixes when their backs were against the Polo Grounds center field wall. No impartial party has yet reported that fellas like Wally Pipp, Whitey Witt, or "Babe" Ruth have besotted themselves in a quest to get canned from whatever bathtub skee dribbled into their cup, so we can only assume that their gumption, discipline, and fortitude served them well.
The youth of today deserve more from Art Nehf, whose swanky glad rags prove a tell-tale sign of the gin-mill gadfly who lost the final game of a grueling Fall contest, possibly while splifficated. For shame, Mr. Nehf. For shame.

We were sitting in the opposite end zone, so couldn’t really see WTF had happened. But in 4 years of playing and who knows how many of watching HS, college, and pro games live, I never saw the entire team kneel down around the player. Seems to be “only” a concussion; we all mostly assumed it was a spine injury b/c of the long down time.
Then, once he was moved off, the Bears came out to kick the PAT… talk about anticlimactic. Cal was never going to come back anyway but having lost a teammate to a season-ending injury in a game, I can tell you it’s easy to say “win one for the Gipper” but a lot harder to do it when you’re worried whether you’ll see your friend again in one piece anytime soon.

they need a whole mess of DB’s. another WR or two couldn’t hurt either.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.

OK, i agree with the DBs, they need one legit physical CB like Clements. But with the WR, i think they really don’t need 2, they can draft maybe 1, but the Line needs help

How do you arrive at them needing ANOTHER WR?
Between Crabtree, Morgan, Hill, and Jones, I’d say that’s the area of LEAST need right now.
I’d put the order of need at OL, then QB (depending on if Smith improves at all), then pass rusher, then DB, specifically safties. I think Brown is legit if he stays healthy, and I think Clements will be worth paying next year. Spencer is pretty solid as well, so the CB depth actually isn’t that bad.
The pass rush has been SORELY lacking, and that makes the defensive backfield look worse than it is. Remember the first few games? When they got pressure on the QB regularly the DBs looked a lot better.

funny but slightly off-topic note
I was watching the game with Closed Captioning on because it’s kind of a pain to turn it off in Windows Media Center. Anyway, “Tennessee Titans” was translated as “Tennessee Tightness”.

Totally OT
but if you guys thought my fantasy baseball talk was bad this year, I’m pretty much going to be banned next year. Couple of us joined a dynasty league this offseason and the endless nerding is going to be ridiculous.

I try and avoid most fantasy leagues. I’ll do salary cap ones (I do one for NFL, had Chris Johnson of the Titans) but I don’t do draft leagues.

This one is insane
it’s not like a normal league- each player takes over an entire MLB team’s roster- including minor league systems. You have to fit in your whole roster under a 100 mil cap and you can only keep players that have less than 6 service years. The rest are all free agents who anyone can bid on. And the draft is for actual draftees, not established players. So basically you’re the GM of a team.
I’m going to know more about the Cardinals’ entire system than pretty much anyone else.

It sounds kinda fun
I want to get to the same level of overall knowledge in baseball that I have in football, so this will help me learn about prospects and how the sport works in general. Plus it’ll be fun.
