miguel olivo has 3 HRs in 8 career ABs against lilly? how does that happen, he sucks.

wow sounds like there might be 1000 marlin fans there tonight; bigger than normal for the fish

-
don't eff this up you morons

bingo, pena was the tigers starting 1B for basically 2.5 years... how can you say he "never got a shot"?
-
THAT showed me a lot. Not just that... he's shown a lot of confidence in going out to talk to struggling pitchers, and in general has called a good game (not getting crossed up and shaken off). Obviously he's a lot better defensively than Kendall, but for a young guy like him to show some leadership qualities toward guys with a lot more big league experience is a very good sign. I think he has the "intangibles" to be a good starting catcher - it's just a question of whether his bat is really this good. As for the steroid question, I'm not going to outright say he hasn't taken them, since I assume that a lot of guys in the game are still taking PEDs. But as has been mentioned, minor league testing is strict, and there's no question that Soto has been tested at least once, and possibly multiple times, this year. That obviously doesn't disqualify HGH, b/c they can't test for that, but I'm not going to assume that he is taking that just because his power has blossomed.

he's so awesome that he's popping up in threads of games that don't even involve him!
-
yeah but take the square root since the cards are tanking... it's more like around 7%

lawl gary bennett

There was also a lot of whining about DeRosa on that thread, we got the signing of Blanco right. However, Hendry made a good signing in DeRosa even though the message board fans did not think so. some of us did think so :D
-
yeah wainwright is throwing the game and making his stats worse to hurt the cubs.
-
I could see Soto putting up a line like 265/325/375 (700 OPS), which would be just fine for a more defensive-minded catcher who hits eighth every night. Foolish mortal, Soto wouldn't even put up that line with a blindfold on. good point... i guess double each figure and that should be in the ballpark.

Looks like bad news for fans without cable...
TruffleShuffle replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
if you don't have cable, your life already sucks -
Brewers fans (some of them, anyways)
TruffleShuffle replied to XZero771679666304's topic in General Baseball Talk
unless it is for the purposes helping of the cubs (i.e., their series versus the brewers right now), i will never root for the cardinals. -
more like adam wainWRONG
-
hgh doesn't help much when you can't hit the ball
-
yeah but seriously, 90% of the people in that thread thought the signing was completely ridiculous. my first 2007 post of soto/blanco angst came after soto's walkoff on 4/30
