what are pat and ron smoking? dempster walked a ton of guys last year. :-s

 

They just said he walked 5 men per 9 innings.

 

That's really scary.

[texascub]

Vizcaino is with SF now? Atleast he can't kill us with the Astros anymore.

[WindyCity]

It's always nice to have 3 good 1st basemen, isn't it? :lol:

Hey Vance.... who's that beating up on ya ???

[B]

Hey Vance.... who's that beating up on ya ???

 

Probably his wife after he mentioned what kind of deal Andre Kirilenko and his wife have.

[otis89]

Cedeno needs to cut down on the errors or Dusty will replace him with Neifi.

Probably his wife after he mentioned what kind of deal Andre Kirilenko and his wife have.

 

Yep.... that'll do it.

[CubinNY]

If Dope has a good spring and continues to hit in AA he becomes a valuable trading chip come deadline time.

 

I really think he is destined to go to the AL and become a 1b/DH. Unless, he can vastly improve his defense.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

I thought Cedeno was supposed to be a "slick fielding SS." How many errors is that so far in ST? Get it together, bud. Don't give Baker any reason to play Neifi please.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Things appear to be falling apart this inning.

 

But on the bright side, our pitchers have fared better today than Ponson and Reyes did for the Cards today.

Was Dopirak's homer a cheapy or did he crush it?

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

DP. Noice.
