AL West Live Chat: Friday, March 13th Noon PDT

That's lunch hour on the west coast and 3pm on the east coast, or the hour before you leave work for an early Friday happy hour.  We've got a stacked lineup for this one, yet again, although the host is kind of lame:

Four teams, five really smart baseball fans, and a Friday afternoon.  Be there five minutes ahead of time to get your questions first in line.  And we'll bring back the always-popular "which manager would win in a fight" poll question.  (Winners so far are Lou Piniella and Jerry Manuel.)

Chat window after the jump -- put in your email address for a pre-chat reminder.

Jerry Manuel only wins because he carries a knife with him to cut people

Let Manuel keep his knife and give Manny Acta a bat and let’s see a real battle.

The AL West: What’s the point?

I don’t mean the chat. I mean the whole division.

Way to take everything seriously. Good job.

It is, or haven’t you heard of Brian Bocock yet?

Better jump on the Bocock Rocket to stardom now before it’s too late!

Any sort of schedule for upcoming chats? I’m itching for some hot NL West action.

by xanthan on Mar 12, 2009 7:23 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Eh, figured we'd drop that one this year.

The NL West is the new NL West.

No, no dates yet. Coordinating schedules with people.

Fine. I’ll just have to flood the AL West chat with questions then.

by xanthan on Mar 12, 2009 7:32 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Kind of a random question

but how many wins does a replacement level team win in the AL/NL? Does it change per year?

I come in here and there's 20 comments for a chat that hasn't even happened!?

I think we can already declare this one a rousing success.

Seidman?

You’re letting an amateur like Seidman into one of these chats?

That thing is a beating to read

Next time, can you guys try answering the questions or at least wait to post another question after everyone’s done talking about it?

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Probably would be difficult due to time constraints

but yeah, that was rough.

Entertaining though, thanks!

Can you spot the five guys NOT in the Hall of Fame? It's easy, I separated 'em for ya. :)

Here's the full post about guys elected to the Hall of Fame primarily for their defense. Guys like Brooks Robinson, Ozzie Smith, Bobby Wallace, John Ward, and Bid McPhee stand up as definite HOFers, with many others worthy of debate (and a couple aren't worth any debate at all).

I almost made it through the whole post without comparing some HOFers to our friends Bill Dahlen, Lou Whitaker, Bobby Grich, Alan Trammell, and Ron Santo. Almost.
