I know hes only had 4 ab's, but he's looking off in the majors. Hurry back Angel Pagan! Edited April 26, 2006 by killthegoat06

Restovich, pinch hitting for Restovich, struck out swinging

 

Come on, this micromanagement is getting ridiculous.

[Omar]

Hairston picked off. Inning over.

[Blueheart05]

Jerry, you're not helping your case for playing time.

[don_kessinger_was_good]

Restovich, Bynum and Neifi all suck. We need Pagan to get healthy and give us a second genuine bat for our bench to go with Mabry.

 

Is Durazo still sitting around un-signed? Would like his bat coming off my bench.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Nathan Vashar is a starting cb for da bears.

 

Thanks. Good thing they didn't have the new guy who likes to beat up nerds sing.

 

???

Ricky Manning Jr...the new corner the Bears just signed an offer sheet to. He and his posse beat up some guy in a Denny's for being a nerd because he was using a laptop.

 

No, I did not make that up.

 

I heard earlier on The Score that the story has changed and that it wasn't him but one of his friends that confronted the guy. Either way, it was stupid.

Yeah, I should have included the word "alledgedly" somewhere in there.

Shoulda just let Restovich hit for himself instead of taking Restovich out for Restovich and wasting Restovich.

But what's this, Restovich's second AB?

[da bears]

Great. Now gameday is gonna be behind because they don't know how to put a pickoff.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

hairston really doesn't know how to get himself playing time, does he?

[don_kessinger_was_good]

Jerry, you're not helping your case for playing time.

 

Cut him some slack. If he wants to get an RBI bunt single and then get picked off of first every time he bats, I can live with that tradeoff. :-)

"Being John Restovich" Coming to a theater near you.

Hairston picked off. Inning over.

That explains Gameday taking five minutes to regroup and figure out what the hell a pickoff play is

[Fred Hornkohl]

Howry in to pitch for the CUBS

What is this? When did Pagan get so good? I know he's miles better than Bynum and Neifi, but he's now a "genuine bat"? BTW, Hairston is a better bat off the bench than Pagan too.

[radarluv1]

juan E is a single away from a cycle in STL, 4 RBIs. 5-3 cards. :(

We saw what he could, or more correctly, couldn't do in Arizona. He's been cut by three other teams for a reason=>STIFF.

id like to thank Vasher for giftwrapping us the 2001 red river shootout. Thanks Nate.

 

Please explain.

 

Up 7-3, we line up for a field goal, kicker pooches it and does a terrible job, ball is going to land inside the 5 yard line and conceivably roll into the end zone for a touchback. Vasher, by all accounts a really nice guy, has a brain fart and makes a diving catch at the three. A play later a blitzing Roy Williams hits Chris Simms throwing arm, the ball flutters into Teddy Lehman's hands who strolls into the endzone for a TD, 14-3 OU.

Just go with CBS Sportsline. It's a lot better.

[CubinNY]

over/under on when people will stop complaining about small ball when it works? - The year 2884.

 

Last comment on this by me in a game thread (tonight).

 

The are opportunity costs associated with any move. We'll never know what would have happend if Barrett hits in that AB.

 

JJ bunting was fine by me.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

over/under on what time someone will start/bump a thread hyping small ball -- 9:43 CST.

 

Looks like the under by an hour.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Aguila struck out swinging

That play by Roy Williams is one of the best plays I've ever seen. It was just unbelievable.
