We’re Not Dead; Neither is Radinsky

Hey devoted reader(s),

Sorry for the drop-off. We’ll be back (sans vengeance…don’t worry), soon. 

In the meantime, check out this sweet, long, heavily-illustrated, and entertaining interview with ROCKER/(former) RELIEF PITCHER, Scott Radinsky.  There’s a life after LOOGY after all…

Showing Up = Half the Battle

 

Thanks for the new passive agressive tag, John Stevens.  As a Sox/Celts/Pats fan, I am upset at the events of February Third, Two-Thousand-and-Eight.  That said, the Loogy Lounge placed a respectable fifth (of 20!) in the inaugural HHR Fantasy Football Playoff Cup.  Thanks to the guys at Hugging Harold Reynolds for a good tourney.  We’re on the lookout for a good middle-reliever fantasy league if anyone has any leads.

Finally, Congrats to the Chief, who took home his self-designed trophy:

If necessary, David Tyree would have made his final catch using nothing but his cup. What an @$$&*!#. Dammitall. How do you hold on to that thing? I mean, forchrissakes, we had Eli sacked!! #@$*&^k

Surfing the Bullpenternet – 1/15 Edition

Things have slowed down a great deal at the Loogy Lounge, as well as in the Hot Stove. For those paying attention, we’re getting HOUSED in the Hugging Harold Reynolds post-season fantasy football league.  The good news is we have 10 players left.

Here’s some recent news and commentary from the Bullpenternet:

• Mets Geek breaks down the Hot Stove Winners and the Loser in both the AL and the NL:  They give the Rockies bullpen moves a “neutral” and the Royals bullpen moves a “loser” designation. [Mets Geek]
• There’s so little hope at Enron Field Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, that Jamey Wright is looking like some kind of answer for the Rangers. [The Ranger Rundown]
• Yankees fans are dreaming their outsized dreams: “If Goose Deserves To Be In The Hall……then Joba should stay in the bullpen. Think about it. Hey, at least Goose agrees with me, but middle relievers never get any respect.” [Five O'Clock Lightning]
• Tigers fans are rightfully feeling pretty good about themselves.  Can a killer line-up make up for a no name bullpen?  [Mack Avenue Tigers]
• How does Seattle replace fan-favorite George Sherrill? You know, if they have to… [Bleeding Blue and Teal]
• And one more Yankees bit. Janks Fans, put Joba in the rotation. Billy Traber is in the house…so, is RHP Scott Strickland and LHP Heath Phillips. NJ.com notes: “Looks like the Yanks bullpen strategy is quantity, not quality.” [True Yankee Blog; NJ.com's Pride of the Yankees]

The Hold: The Save :: Loogy Lounge: Fantasy Football

I know it’s outside of the realm of middle reliever baseball, but The Loogy Lounge has entered into a post-season fantasy football challenge sponsored by our friends at Hugging Harold Reynolds. Although the site says that I, Gnopple, am responsible for the team, I have to give full credit to John Stevens. He spent some solid time going through the options and has picked The Loogy Lounge a sure winner.

Thanks to HHR for making it happen. Oh, and check out the sweet trophy that the chief put together. We will proudly post that on our blog if we win. Good luck to all!

Update: The kind folks at HHR have updated their post to assure John Stevens gets his credit. Thanks.
