Some of the numbers put in there are depressing. Actually a decent read though

 

EDIT: But some of the numbers used to describe this season are inspiring

[Banedon]

I admit...I laughed:

 

In those years, the Cubs featured Shawon Dunston, who occasionally swung at pick-off throws to first

[hotshot13422]

This one got me to :lol:

 

Rookie-of-the-Year candidate Geovany Soto is on the same pace, and hopes to someday walk in a t-ball game.

[MSG T]

Who would try to stop him?

 

 

Umpire: You can't walk, it's T-ball.

 

Geo: Yes I can.

 

Ump: OK. Take your base.

What's even funnier is he actually came closer to hitting a pick off throw than a pitch right down the middle of the plate.

[bhogg]

Dunston could hit breaking pitches with the best of them.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Dunston could hit breaking pitches with the best of them.

 

Yup...helluva curveball hitter as I recall.....another one of those guys w/ amazing tools that continually frustrated. Spent numerous lazy summer days growing up listening to Harry & Stoney rave about Shawon's rocket throws to first.

No one dares question the great Soto.
