  1. cleveland needs to get rid of that "de-fense" chant over the PA; it's creepy and sounds like satan is leading the crowd.
  2. the trade wouldn't have been so bad if fontenot hadn't completely fallen apart this month. i don't think anyone expected a .900+ ops but nobody expected this either.
  3. washington/baltimore/northern va is the fourth largest metro area in the country; they can easily support two teams.
  4. maybe randy wells is the new anthony young
  5. getting owned by randy wolf = embarrassing.
  6. So he fits in well with Kentucky's history. I think maybe I was a bit wrong about Bruce Weber's recruiting. I'm glad he wasn't cheating to land Rose and Gordon. I wonder now too if what the Illiniboard swears about Kansas is also true? Your logic is impeccable. You're completely right there is no way that Kansas could be involved in any wrong doing. yeah that's not at all what he said.
  7. i have wieters on only one of my teams, and my catcher for that team is victor martinez. i see a trade in my future.
  8. how does ramon vasquez have the 2 hits that he has in this game? both were tough pitches that he somehow dumped into LF.
  9. i'm not saying it should be this game, but hopefully carpenter will start in the next 2-3 days rather than wait an entire turn after throwing just an inning yesterday.
  10. i'm more excited about the walk than the home run.
  11. when has hendry severely overpaid in a trade? i've got one in like 6 years of him being a GM, juan pierre. in trades for good major league players, hendry has actually not paid all that much (nomar, lee, ramirez, harden).
  12. i want the joe morgan option, "we'll just have to see how it plays out"
  13. maybe, but it's easier to start at home and not having to worry about traveling - you can just go and start getting settled in at your new "home." plus it's easier for the big club to help arrange for lodging and tickets for relatives and close friends who are coming to watch the debut.
  14. cito gaston basically slept through 2 world series championships in the early '90s.
  15. BA listed mcdaniel a sleeper in the 2009 handbook. still, he wasn't listed among the cubs' top 30 prospects, and there are 30 organizations, so you're talking about nearly 1000 minor leaguers that they evaluated as being better than mcdaniel. if you want info on guys like that, it's more likely to come from a cub-specific newsletter or website than BA, who covers college, high school and minor league baseball.
  16. there is a way and i think it has happened. i'm just trying to figure out which side sounds more inane. Luckily you are always right, so it won't take you too long to figure it out. i'd avoid picking a horse in this race if i were you.

  18. cotts needs to go and so does patton. those are two guys who contribute absolutely nothing to the quality of the team. it's embarrassing that we gave away mike wuertz for peanuts but have those two losers in the bullpen.
  19. well he would throw strikes. unfortunately many of these strikes would end up in the gaps or over the fence.
  20. did anyone think the 2006 cardinals had a chance to win the world series?
  21. they're on a homestand now; if they don't call him up this week then they probably won't do it until june 8th - they have a west coast road trip next week.
