Here’s an inspiring story for you. Dick Kaegel covers the Royals for MLB.com and he covered all 162 games in 2011. That is remarkable in its own right, but even more amazing when you realize Kaegel is 72 and was diagnosed with inoperable liver cancer just four years ago.

Kudos to Kaegel.

Hey guys

I heard this rumor that Jim and John Harbaugh are actually brothers!! I think the media have gotten wind of it, so I’ll investigate further and post whatever evidence I can find.

Bama vs. Georgia, unless Bama loses to Auburn tomorrow. Then it would be the Hogs. But having watched Auburn struggle with Samford last week, Keith and I shouldn’t get too hopeful.

Good news for UCLA

Colorado is up 7-0 in the first quarter in Utah. If Colorado snaps it’s 23-game road losing streak today, UCLA wins the Pac-12 South Division.

Did the Dodgers sign Adam Kennedy?

Or is my friend just trying to make me think we are getting Miles Part 2.

TBLA 2011 Postseason Prediction Champion

by Ivdown on Nov 25, 2011 1:47 PM PST reply actions  

Kennedy has about 18 times more WAR in his career then Miles.

Not every “scrappy” middle infielder is completely worthless

Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride

by nolander on Nov 25, 2011 1:49 PM PST up reply actions  

Kennedy is 38 or 39

coming off a .1 fWAR season and .8 the season before that. I’m not comparing careers, i’m comparing current ability, which is not much.

TBLA 2011 Postseason Prediction Champion

by Ivdown on Nov 25, 2011 2:01 PM PST up reply actions  

Counting 3 years in the past with someone as old as him

is meaningless. I realize you like him because you are an Angel fan too, but at this point it’s clearly Aaron Miles = Adam Kennedy.

TBLA 2011 Postseason Prediction Champion

by Ivdown on Nov 25, 2011 2:49 PM PST up reply actions  

I feel like this may be the most pointless argument ever

which is a big accomplishment for some of the things even you and I have ever argued over, lol.

If I were being legitimate about it, Kennedy is going from 1.8, to .8, to .1, where miles is going from -1.3, to .1, to .8, so having either of them at this point just sounds like a shitty option, even for the bench.
