  1. and stupid! way to let your starter throw one ball and then give him the hook.
  2. notes how to develop players like Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard... the Phillies offense looks good because they have better players than the Cubs
  3. It is when Floyd and Izturis are in the lineup. Floyd is hitting better than Murton this year...
  4. I'm guessin Leo Durocher for the trivia question... it's a tough one though
  5. It's better than this joke of a team. yeah but i like sports, and baseball is a sport :wink:
  6. mike marshall gets flame throwers? that's news to me. truffle getting defensive and weird? that's news to me. way to address the issue being discussed.
  7. Bars and restaurants have been. Players have beer at their homes. Why can't they go somewhere other than their workplace and drink a beer after the game?
  8. i'll be sleeping through this one... phillies 8, cubs 2
  9. mike marshall gets flame throwers? that's news to me.
  10. as the article clearly stated, no pitchers with what anybody would consider major-league talent have been willing to train with him. But Rudy Seanez is one. I have a feeling that his mechanics just force mediocre results. Also, to take someone with good talent and completely retool his mechanics could ruin them. maybe... there's always that risk. Of course, you could take someone with good talent, let him continue with his bad mechanics (Kerry Wood) and he'll be ruined anyway. But the article talks about guys who mostly went in throwing in the upper 70s to low 80s - not exactly top-shelf arms. I think it would be foolish to dismiss a guy just because he hasn't been able to polish a bunch of turds into gold.
  11. yeah everyone should be allowed to get drunk at their workplace

  13. I've seen that movie probably 50 times. Are you kidding? On a rainy summer day in high school when I was off work, I tried watching it with three friends, and it was so remarkably unfunny that we just went downstairs and played Sega. It's honestly the worst movie I have ever seen.
  14. My God that is bad. Team batting line of 161/224/202 (426 OPS?!?!?) BAA of .445! .908 fielding % Around 1.5 runs scored versus an average of 14 runs again Team ERA of 16.67 One of the team's starting infielders is 6-for-105 with no extra base hits, and he's made 23 errors. This has to be the worst baseball team ever assembled.
  15. there's no sense discussing this because tampa will not trade for a one-year rental, and they won't pay a starting pitcher (or any player) upwards of $10M per year.
  16. This is irrelevant. Nobody should make this a class or race war, which is inevitably where this is going. Let's just talk about men beating their wives. (First time I've ever said that.) or in the case of chuck finley, wives beating their husbands
  17. Those are always 95% of the trade proposals here. I think it really just goes with the whole message board community idea. I'm sure SoSH gets just as many of them. right, but people should at least try to separate "wishful thinking" from "realistic idea." I mean, think about the players you're throwing in these trades - Eyre, Jones, Izturis, Marshall, etc. If you're so eager to get rid of them, do you really think other teams are willing to give much up for them? Probably not.
  18. iowa has been raking lately... hopefully they (and more importantly, e-patt) can keep it up
