    Honestly, Madison does not have its share of 9s and 10s. It was kind of rare to see them out there. yeah they're known as "out of state students"

    helton has been hot lately, c'mon sean

    HOW CAN YOU NOT GET A BUNT DOWN, YOU ARE HORRIBLE oh wait it was the opposing team.

    hey maybe we can interview a librarian during the next game, to see if we can find something more boring than interviewing a woman from the illinois lottery.

    anyone who doesn't get the run in from third with zero outs or one out is terrible

    that's the first time that edmonds has really driven a good fastball since he got to town. i am pleasantly surprised by that AB.

    never too early to start looking.... Through the end of may: In the Monte Carlo simulation, the Cubs are 69.5% to win the division, 10.7% to win the wild card, for an 80.2% chance of making the playoffs. The Cubs have an average record of 94.2-67.8, which is 1.3 wins better than the Red Sox for the best record in baseball. The Elo odds: 64% to win the division, 12.5% to win the wild card, for 76.5% to make the playoffs. Again, 1.3 wins better than the Red Sox, with an average record of 93.5-68.5. PECOTA-simulated odds: 73.9% to win the division, 10.6% to win the wild card, 84.4% to make the playoffs. 95.6-66.4, or nearly 3 wins better than PECOTA's next-favorite team, the Yankees. Since we're all becoming bandwagon Devil Ray fans as well: Monte Carlo: 37.95480% division, 27.45680% wild card, 65.41161% playoffs (avg record 92.5-69.5) Elo: 20.46138% division, 19.02389% wild card, 39.48527% playoffs (avg record 87.2-74.8) PECOTA: 25.45384% division, 27.09392% wild card, 52.54776% playoffs (avg record 91-71)

    someone call up oakmont and make a tee time for crosby, party of four.

    the nl central is a collective 50-31 against the west; the cubs have obviously done the most damage (13-2). dusty baker's reds are the only team below .500 against the west (7-8) the central is 40-38 against the east (weirdness: the pirates have played 21 games against the east, while the cardinals have played)

    stop yelling at me

    they are told what to say about 50% time. At least that's what an NFL ESPN expert that I know has told me. Ellsbury is good but the others are once in a generation type talents Ellsbury is just an all-star caliber player. In other words the others could one day if they pan out make the HoF Ellsbury if he pans out will be an all-star 4 or 5 years. albert pujols is a once in a generation type talent. guys the ones that vina mentioned are just very good players.

    Dudes a gamer. He's the spark that gets the rest of the team going. Those other guys may have the numbers, but players like Ellsbury are invaluable. So on and so forth, rabble rabble rabble. "ellsbury is a gamer" is how a moron would describe jacoby ellsbury. a more intelligent analysis would point out that he has the second-highest VORP on the red sox and a .294 EqA despite being unlucky on balls in play. he's got solid extra base power with the ability to hit around 10 home runs a year, and is a very good baserunner who will help his team by stealing about 80 bases at an 85% success rate. and he plays plus defense in center field.
  14. TruffleShuffle
    Cabrera has amazing upside. They're not going to trade him when he finally looks like he's putting it together unless they're blown away by an offer. he only looks like he's putting it together because he has a lower ERA. his BABIP this year is .245 and his K/BB is a less-than-stellar 44/32 in 80 innings pitched.
  15. TruffleShuffle
    dejesus would certainly be an upgrade, but the cubs are giving up too much in that deal. this made me laugh, though:

    nah, if we're gonna call them cobs and losers when they suck, then we can call them super cubs when they keep winning. especially after the awesomeness of friday's game
  20. TruffleShuffle
    the cards seem really good at winning one-run games and losing 10-run games
  21. TruffleShuffle
    jeez this is depressing, i don't think i even want to think about it.
  22. TruffleShuffle
    len is a longtime BP reader? bonerific.
  23. TruffleShuffle
    and having the pitchers throw him hanging breaking balls.
  24. TruffleShuffle
    well, david stern got the nba finals that he forced the rest of the league to accept. hopefully it's a good series.
  25. TruffleShuffle
    here's a question... why did we bother signing ted lilly when #2 starter todd wellemeyer was out there for the taking?
