soto drilled hard shot to third, it was snagged, bad throw to first allowed derosa to go to third and soto was safe, derosa took wide turn and berkman decided to throw to third, but air mailed it about 20 feet above lamb's head
i like how brenly said that if you watch everett every day, you see him win a lot of games with his glove. No mention of how many he loses with his bat.
I would guess the person that started the poll. Everyone else thinks the poll is ridiculous. it wouldn't be ridiculous if the cubs had a good SS and no CF, since Ichiro does have the fourth highest VORP in the game. But since the Cubs are inept at SS, it's an easy answer.
Forbes evaluation of team worth seems to be a little off when compared to these sale prices. (Braves and the potential Cubs sale) http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/04/17/06mlb_baseball_valuations_land.html Yeah I don't see the Braves being worth $400M when they were just bought for three times that. Those estimates all seem a little low, and I think the top end teams are, in some cases, worth considerably more than what they were appraised at.
I don't know how big a deal 600 is. Over the next three years about 125 major leaguers will hit their 500th or 600th home run. Anyway, this is Ken Griffey Jr that we're talking about. And these are the Cubs. Anything that can go wrong, does. I'd give him about three innings before completely shredding his hamstring and being done for the year.
rundle = harvey part II Logjams at the lower levels aren't uncommon. I read in a recent newspaper article on the State College Spikes that they have 33 players on their roster, and their manager (Turner Ward) is rotating them to give them all time. Sounds great in theory, except you're probably taking away time from legitimate prospects for guys who are just organizational roster-filler.
MLB hated that we spent as much money as we did last offseason. They also hated that we spent buttloads of money on marginal draft prospects to buy them away from college. That might've pissed them off even worse.
patterson grounded into a DP just before walrond was removed, and walrond was running from first to second on the play. I'm guessing that he got hurt somewhere during that play.
you know the drill... who's your choice for the MVP of the NL through Sunday's games? p.s. - it's a joke that hanley ramirez isn't on the all-star team.
