    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?id=2844416 You don't have anywhere near it takes to get him. sure they do... they have pujols

    hey i don't like jacque jones, so i'll just call him an automatic out!
  3. TruffleShuffle
    226 i'd probably select price ahead of wieters, though it'd be a close call. Doesn't matter, because both of them are not falling to #3. I'm just hoping that one of them does.
  4. TruffleShuffle
    This debate would be settled a lot more easily if Murton were actually a good player. I'm not saying he's bad, but he's no better than average, which makes it hard for me to wholeheartedly endorse him.
  5. TruffleShuffle
    mostly because braden looper, kip wells and adam wainwright will all end the season with an era under 2.00
  6. TruffleShuffle
    He'd have known the answer to that last year if the Cubs' management weren't so incompetent.

    Topic: Can anyone explain what people see in Rich Hill? oooh oooh i can answer this one!
  8. TruffleShuffle
    grand slam for scott moore!
  9. TruffleShuffle
    almost everyone recognized the inability of the cubs to get on base last year, and some of dusty's mind-dumbingly stupid comments -- "base clogging", "hitting, not walking" and "can't walk across home plate" -- have been roundly criticized. Now that he's out of a job, he almost has to recognize one of the biggest reasons that he was let go.

    Is E-Patt a little banged up? I noticed that he pinch hit the last two days, and is apparently not in the starting lineup today.
  11. TruffleShuffle
    what's funny is that the greatest success of the jim hendry era may end up being his recognition of rich hill's talent, and his refusal to trade hill when a lot of people had already written him off
  12. TruffleShuffle
    here's my most prophetic statement about Hill... though my optimism was guarded (as it should always be for any Cub fan):
  13. TruffleShuffle
    this isn't very nice... think about how you felt with dusty baker as your team's manager. This is how Phillies fans are feeling right now.
  14. TruffleShuffle
    okay well i guess we'll see if the jets are still present
  15. TruffleShuffle
    great job as usual today, cubs
  16. TruffleShuffle
    he has 1 hit in 20 ABs, and was one of the worst players in baseball last year... I'd say his presence on the team is a pretty big worry
  17. TruffleShuffle
    draw up a list of about 5 guys and PM it to someone after you... then they can take the top guys still available on that list
  18. TruffleShuffle
    not picking on any particular poster - it's just fun to read this stuff given how the kid is throwing these days
  19. TruffleShuffle
    More fun reading And another
  20. TruffleShuffle
    Another classic Rich Hill thread
  21. TruffleShuffle
    the flaw in what you've written here is the assumption that charlie manuel has an active brain cell
  22. TruffleShuffle
    I suppose that's a true statement. Some might argue that 220 IP out of one of your best pitchers is better than 70 IP, but those people aren't stupid, so Manuel isn't persuaded. On ESPN they showed the high/low lights of the argument he got into with the reporter and he said: "I done growed up a long time ago" Where is he from West Virginia? close -- buena vista, virginia, which is up in the Blue Ridge Mountains. How do I know this? Because on the way to Florida last year, I drove through Buena Vista, Virginia, and there was a sign upon entering the town that read "Home Town of Philadelphia Phillies Manager Charlie Manuel." My first reaction: "Is that really something worth bragging about?"
  23. TruffleShuffle
    the cubs could get on a huge winning streak if they could manage to get four rainouts in a row after every rich hill start
  24. TruffleShuffle
    D-??? Come on. If you're comparing her to models, then yes, her face is a D-. But she's not worse than average looking. D- and F should be reserved for the true uggos.
  25. TruffleShuffle
    while I can understand if you loved him as a prospect a year ago, you're demented if he was your favorite cub a year ago. totally bonkers with a 0.28 ERA, 0.64 WHIP, 8.4:1 K:BB (that was a comment on Piniella skipping him, btw) You mean because of his struggles? Many of us stood by his side defending him. Even during the struggles. . I noticed that your prediction for his 2007 ERA dropped to 2.42 from around 4.10 recently
