    Sounds like a wonderful relationship when your wife stabs you. love hurts

    i dunno, he started 35 games between april and may of last year... that's at least pretty regular playing time. and really, when you're putting up an OPS under .400, how long can a team keep running you out there? i guess if you're a team like the pirates you mineaswell take a shot and see if you can fix him, but a quick look at his batting line as a major leaguer indicates that he is completely lost at the plate.

    ugh berg is turrible

    i'd really like if our we had more guys who could walk and hit for power so that our offensive output could be less strongly dependent on the whims of BABIP. that being said, good job winning this game.
  7. TruffleShuffle
    no because then he will get hit in the head, cork his bat, be disgraced in a steroid scandal and turn white.
  8. TruffleShuffle
    12 games behind who, exactly? Hopefully every other team in the division
  9. TruffleShuffle
    so basically frank mccourt is a complete scumbag.
  10. TruffleShuffle
    i'd like him to get it together enough that a team sees him as a viable lefty power bat off the bench and trades for him at the deadline when we're 12 games out.
  11. TruffleShuffle
    yeah, luongo is one of the top goalies in the league. you live and die with him if he's healthy.

    sports that aren't really sports? that makes no sense. if you're going to compare soccer ratings to rasslin you mineaswell compare them to american idol or jersey shore.
  13. TruffleShuffle
    auto racing isn't a sport and rasslin definitely is not a sport.

    i share the same concern - it's nice that he is making contact (and his K rate is down from last year), but it seems like he needs to learn how to pick pitches to drive rather than just getting his bat on everything.

    plus razing the ernie banks statue to be replaced by a tupac memorial would just be in poor taste.
  16. TruffleShuffle
    vitters has only struck out once in the last 8 games, but hasn't walked and hasn't been hitting much either. yesterday i think he grounded out 3 times and flew out once, and tonight he's grounded out 4 times.

    If I didn't know better, I'd start to suspect we aren't world beaters. Obviously not world beaters, but when you have 2/5 of your rotation as non ML-starters the results are pretty predictable. Eliminate the 12-2 and the 11-2 blowouts started by Coleman and Russell and you have a -14 run differential in 18 games. which is still ****ing terrible. plus you have zambrano, who has missed time each of the last couple of years; cashner, who was in the bullpen much of last year and is unproven as a major league starter; dempster, who sometimes falls over railings... the bottom line is that starters sometimes get hurt, and the cubs chose to not have adequate backup options in case injuries happened.

    mike richards just got a coincidental minor for getting punched in the face.
  19. TruffleShuffle
    brian boucher - bad goalie or worst goalie ever?
  20. TruffleShuffle
    brett jackson isn't in the lineup for tennessee. hopefully traded for pujols.
  21. TruffleShuffle
    now -33 run differential in 20 games... not great.
  22. TruffleShuffle
    the back of our bullpen is really good at letting games like this get out of hand.
  23. TruffleShuffle
    It's April, we're all used to it. Pretty sure he doesn't have an XBH. pretty sure his obp is over .500. 12-32, all singles and 1 run how is this possible? base hits and walks, thats what you want from your leadoff hitter. no i think part of the question is how he has been on base that much (now 15 times) and only scored once. i'd say the problem is that the middle of the order sucks.
  24. TruffleShuffle
    brilliant
