ive always wanted to say
that your name reminds me of the shoes... British Knights. When i was growing up watching double dare, they were always included somehow as a prize. also LA Gear. And Jordache jeans. french-rolled. and perms. 1990 4eva!

I remember those...
I usually don't get that though... Burger King most of the time.  Double Dare is still on too, surprisingly enough, and the grand prize is still an all new Nintendo Sixty-Foooooooour!

I always liked the show Fun House
They gave away all the same prizes (also I believe, K-Swiss shoes).  I don't remember a ton about the show, other than the constestants went through some challenges to see who would get to go through the Fun House and grab these tags that would correspond with great prizes.

Ah, childhood.  Without cable.

i forgot about fun house
anybody remember that show with dave coolier (sp?)... the one where he was the host of a faux talk show and always got to use his cut-it-out bit. what the hell was that show called? i remember the guest host was some strange blonde chick who reminded me of miss piggy.

Fun House was a GREAT albumn
by Iggy and the Stooges. It featured one of the truly great songs of all time - "She got a TV eye on me."

Here's all you need to know about Fun House.  Apparently Leonardo DiCaprio was a constestant.  I also remember Soleil Moon Frye (Punky Brewster) being on the show.

I'm okay with Javy in the lineup today
Ross caught 15 innings yesterday, after all.  I'm less thrilled about seeing him bat so high in the order, but whatever.  Just hoping that lineups don't matter...

Got to rest Ross
The more Javy plays the better he hits. He's not the greatest catcher but would you rather have Toothache. I like old Javy.

Belisle..
.is giving up a lot of hits (128 in 109.3 IP) but his K-to-BB (73:24) ratio is second only to Harang's on the team.

(Quick math. Forgive me if I've goofed.)

Moeller?
Why does everyone here hate moeller?  Is he good? Not really, but would you rather ha a catcher hitting .180, and able to throw out runners or Javy, who has trouble throwing people out on pitch outs?  If Moeller throws out 2 runners or even prevents them from running I would rather start him!!!!!!!!!!!  Pitchers era's go up over a run when Javy catches! He has thrown out 1 stealer(albeit Jose Reyes) of about 20 stolen bases he allowed. SO a .250 avg with bad game calling skills and a terrible arm is better than a catcher who hits .180 calls a decent game and has an average arm??  NOT TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You make your first comment, and you choose to defend Chad Moeller?

this comment is fantastic
moeller has thrown out the same number of guys this year as valentin. One. combined those guys are 2 for 30 at throwing guys out this year. As far as defensive catchers go, we have ross and two sieves.

and you sold
moeller a little short re: his offensive ineptitude. this year he's getting on base at a .167 clip. His OPS is .417. He has 0 walks and 48 at-bats. He's got a career OPS+ of 62. Whoever we have catching for billings would be better than moeller.

I bet you ask
any pitcher on this team who they want catching and their answer is Dave Ross. He might be hitting .180, but like you said, he catches a decent game and can throw guys out.
Javy can't catch.
Moeller can't catch or hit. Dude doesn't even belong on this team, and he isn't hitting .250, is he? IIRC, he's not even a career .250 hitter.
