Who here is not convinced that Castro is going to hit a big time dong in a playoff game??

 

i'm not convinced that starlin is going to do anything, be it good or bad

is this a prediction in the case that you think the cubs lose the WC game and he doesn't play at all? or is this a prediction that you think even if the cubs win that starlin would never play?

 

I'd disagree with the first but it's possible. the latter would definitely not happen.

Wasn't Castro statistically the worst player in the league at one point this season?

 

I think it was 3rd worst but I could be wrong

it's neither of those things

 

it's the fact that starlin castro is both capable of being great and horribly awful for long periods of time and i have no idea what to expect from him

agreed.

 

after re-reading it with that explanation it makes more sense. i just read it differently the first time.

He still has an OBP below .300 and an OPS below .670. Whatever the case though, hopefully his trade value is up there again.

yes but at least he's only 20th on this list now

not bad for semi-sporadic play over 2 months after 4 months of everyday play that had him much higher on the list

kind of dead so i'll share a side story. so i haven't watched wrestling since i was probably 14 or so (no offense to those that do, it just wasn't my thing after that). But I had an old friend into town the other day and we were laughing at how horrible the intro songs used to be. "million dollar man" ted diabiase's was particularly obnoxious and over-the-top (

). It was also completely racist and shitty that Virgil was his servant.

 

Anyway, we moved on to Mr. Perfect's theme music and I decided on that Sunday morning at Denny's after a long night of heavy drinking that that would definitely be my walk-up music if I were a Cubs. Here it is in all it's epic glory:

It's not bad at all considering where he was but you have to be good over the course of an entire season. I know he's not going to be as good as he's been in September the entire year but at this point he's just making up for the terrible play up until July.
