I was hoping we'd pay a little LOE-er

but this is a pretty good price if he pitches well like last year.

with the raise

he can finally afford his loe-rider

Too close for missiles, I’m switching to Ueck.

To be fair

It wasn’t as if the Brewers really tried to loe-ball him…

True

but it wasn’t hard to reach the loe-bar that was set before him

These puns are a loe-d of crap.

No, really. Some of them are really loe down. I loe-th the day I saw our dear BCB turn into this.

Maybe

you should loe-er your expectations of your readers. Although I will admit, this humor IS a bit loe-brow.

Nice of Tom H. to give a hat tip to McCalvy

Also nice that McCalvy was able to break one first.

Thanks to Nullact, I now here those lyrics every time my IPod plays Bohemian Rhapsody

Rather than blaming Nullact, is to delete Bohemian Rhapsody from your phone. And any song from that album. And any other Queen song. And any song by anyone who might have had anything to do with Queen.

There are three recs on each of these posts.

The community appears to be split.

But I know for a fact

that the BCB “silent majority” all hate Queen every bit as much as they dislike the Cubs or the Cardinals…

I like that he kind of replaces Coffey's role on this team

Because he’s more effective than Coffey at this point.

You really shouldn't hope for that.

How does Loe's contract work?

He had two seasons with the Rangers and one with the Brewers which should make him Arb 1, right? In f that’s the case he’s somehow worth more than Parra? I’ll admit I don’t particularly like Parra, but given how many major league starts and his ceiling (lefties do always seem to take longer), he’s more valuable than Loe.

Maybe Arb 1 pitching contracts are always pretty much right around $1.2-1.4 million, but I would be a little PO’ed with my agent if I were Parra.

by ecocd on Jan 24, 2011 8:51 AM CST reply actions

Loe was with the Rangers for four seasons, not two

According to Cot’s Loe’s ML service is 3.008 vs. 2.063 for Parra. This makes Loe Arb 2 compared to Parra who was Arb 1.

That's quite a bit better

by ecocd on Jan 24, 2011 10:06 AM CST up reply actions

Not really better... just more ML time

Also, don’t forget that MLB contracts are more about what a player has done rather than what a player’s potential might be.
