Better call Shields and Price

The MLB Fan Cave has a funny. I just wish Rich Harden was in it so that they could start it out with the classic “are you injured?”

Oh, and I kind of have a thing for that Alice McGinity person who shows up near the end of the video. She has a Kelly Macdonald thing going on. An, um, I kind of like the Kelly Macdonald thing.

I sure hope Alex Anthopolous is paying some attention here. Oh for another starter…

Question for HBT community: At this moment in the season, with current rosters, which team do you believe has the best 1-2-3 starters in the MLB?

I have my answer already, but will wait for some others to chime in.

  Phillies, clearly. Anyone who says otherwise needs their head examined.

    Thought this would be the first response and it was. Top three? Who is number three? Oswalt has been injured so doesn’t count. Worley?

    Halladay, Lee, Hamels. Hamels has been great.

    Oh yeah duh. Hamels somehow wasn’t in my brain. Yeah I guess that makes the answer obvious.

    Halladay, Lee, and Hamels.

    Close second recently has gotta be Weaver, Haren, Santana. Santana has quietly (until the no-no) been dominating the last 1.5 months.

    Runner up would probably be, for me, Weaver, Haren, and Santana. A lot of good 1-2 punches out there, but the Angels have 3 very solid starters.

    Damn those Phillies are kinda annoyingly good aren’t they? Even with the second best record in the NL, the Bravos are 8.5 back. Yikes!

    The Giants are pretty good, too. Timmy, Cain, and MadBum (or Vogelsong, but he doesn’t miss enough bats for me).

    It has to be the Phillies doesn’t it?
    
    xFIP:
    1. Halladay
    2. Lee
    4. Hamels
    
    FIP:
    1. Halladay
    4. Hamels
    8. Lee
    
    Angels are the only people with 2 in the top 10 of FIP, let alone 3 in top 8.

Alright, I’ll just stop trying. Everyone is stealing my thoughts when I’m typing and it’s just not fun anymore

  What’s is messed up is I’m actually stealing your thoughts, it’s not a coincidence.

Did anyone see the MLB Fan Cave interview with Chase Utley when the Phillies were in New York a couple of weeks ago? I swear, they got Chase to say more in a few minutes than he says all year. Chase is the quite leader who leads with his play on the field, not his mouth.

    Lol!!! I never saw that. Man, that dude really had a man crush on Chase and his hair.
    
    Speaking of Utley’s Hair, where has he been? I haven’t seen him posting lately. Maybe on vacation?

I cannot believe it.

David Price is BALD?

  As a thin haired 28 year old I feel his pain. Buzz cuts can be a guys best friend.

    LOL, same here. I’m 32 with a rapidly receding hairline. I’m going for the old buzzcut VERY soon.
  - Alex K - Aug 5, 2011 at 1:33 PM
    
    Just do it. Your life will be better for it. If it’s really thin up top and you want to hide that a bit buzz the top part a little longer than the sides and back. Me? I just go same length all around, much easier to do. Also, I haven’t paid for a haircut in years!

Those graphics are awful. They’re probably supposed to be awful, though, so they nailed it. Those graphics would have been awful in the 1970s.

I’m glad those guys took the time to have some creative fun; I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it.
