Didn't see this posted anywhere, so feel free to delete if necessary...

 

ESPN 1000 here in Chi-town is reporting that Theriot has been told by Lou that he will be on the ML roster when the club heads north. Theriot confirms.

 

Congrats, Ryan! You deserve it!

MESA, Ariz. — Lou Piniella put a quick end to all of the speculation Friday when he confirmed that pitcher Rich Hill and utility infielder Ryan Theriot have made the team.

 

Period. End of story.

 

“He’s in our rotation,” Piniella said of Hill. “I like the way he goes about his business. He’s serious. He’s got good mound presence. And he’s getting better and better.”

Yup, this is buried in a few other threads but still good news for those who had not heard.

Lou told reporters this on Saturday...

Irregardless, it's still improper usage.

If Piniella gives the playing time to those who perform. "The Riot" will be our starting SS by June.

I dunno, how does "Riot" stand up defensively...comparitively?

It's called the modern English language. Get on board or get left behind.

It is quite common for languages to adapt over the years. There are many English words that had quite another meaning in the 1800's.

No. I'm saying it's like "ain't" or any one of the many other words that wouldn't make it into a college essay but is used all the time in informal speech.

 

The last time I checked this was a message board, not a term paper. Acronyms and slang are thrown around here all the time. Is "irregardless" proper English? Of course not. But it's part of the modern English language, like it or not.

Izturis is better defensively, irregardless, it isn't enough to make up for his deficiencies at the plate.

Slang and acronyms are used because they are easy and informal, thus nice for a message board. WHat bugs me about "irregardless" is that it's simply a dumb word. :)

 

Saying "regardless" means the EXACT same thing as "irregardless," even though the ir- prefix EVERY OTHER time means opposite. :)

[cubweiser03]

The Riot is so hot im worried he's using all his hits. :)

Kinda hope he cools down a little.

He made 2 really nice plays at 3b on saturday.

You damn right brother.

 

"Irregardless" is like saying "de-caffeine-free"

Well, if we do that, we better hope the whole team cools down-Theriot has had a very good spring so far, but if you compare him to the 8 starters he would only be having the 6th best spring out of the 9 players.

Irregardless is not modern English. It's just wrong. It's not slang, it's a mistake. Whoever says irregardless really means to say regardless.

 

Morans.

Sarcasm?

How do you say? AVG wise only Lee is better. He is tied with Barrett at .400 but has a higher OBP. I havent looked at OPS.
