  1. oh i actively booed latroy, but i'd boo the hell out of jim edmonds. partly because i hate him from his days with the cards, and partly because he's now a terrible player who has no business playing for a team that's contending for a division.
  2. only two singles... it's time for cedeno to get his shot.
  3. This gave me hilarious images of Floyd trying to play center field. On a related note, what do you think would be funnier, Prince Fielder trying to play shortstop or Prince Fielder trying to play center field? © prince fielder trying not to eat steaks and cheeseburgers
  4. maybe reed johnson is going to be like cliff floyd last season, he'll hit like 4 home runs and all of them will be gone by a mile.
  5. That's the first triple play in...how many years? I don't remember one last year. i remember the phillies turning two last season
  6. fukudome's swing reminds me of tad iguchi
  7. plus the pirates' lineup is a 40 year old, 300 lb woman who doesn't shave.
  8. Where are these posts at? Seriously, what happened? Was it at all related to Ryno getting suspended? oh she just posted a couple of anti-ryno rants, similar to the "IT'S NICE TO BE IMPORTANT BUT IT'S MORE IMPORTANT TO BE NICE!!!" rant from last year. i guess the mods deemed these posts pointless and threw them in the atomic dust bin of cyberspace.
  9. Exactly. Arguing about whether or not it was a "good" start is pointless because no matter what the results he got were, he showed that he has the stuff to pitch in the major leagues. the stuff, yes. my biggest concern with him is the command; his stuff isn't good enough to keep pitching from behind in the count and keep putting guys on base via the walk. he's only 22 and obviously has room to improve, but i worry that he will get hit hard until he tightens up his command.
  10. i saw a preview of You Don't Mess with the Zohan during the hockey game last night, and it looks horrendous.
  11. jim hendry should be banned from ever going after notre dame products, ever again.
  12. maybe he was just playing the odds... most years he would be accurate in his assessment
  13. when hatcher is forced to play 28 minutes and jaroslav modry plays 20, you're probably not going to win. put another way, when a top line forward and top two defensemen are injured, and you're facing a team at full health, you're probably not going to win in the conference finals.
  14. bonerific stats of the day. or month. or year. Might need to bump up the threshold here Fred... these ain't Dusty's CUBS no more!
  15. I've been looking for that video forever. It's so depressing. I remember I also broke up with my girlfriend the day that aired. Sweet. haha, it's also the song in scrubs when elliot breaks up w/sean to be with j.d., and the he realizes he doesn't want to be with her.
  16. the cubs' team EqA is .275, good for 4th in baseball the dads' team EqA is .236, dead last in baseball
  17. You have to be somewhat nerdy to be willing to read through this article, but it's really interesting IMO. http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/how-fast-should-a-fastball-be/ the conclusions at the end of the article:

  19. i agree with this. the cubs have good depth at middle infield and a good overall offense; there's no reason to grind down guys like theriot, derosa and soto; give them each more time off than they've been getting through the first month and a half of the season. same with the bullpen, which actually has pretty good depth when howry and wuertz come around. no need to abuse marmol. lou has to start thinking big picture rather than managing every game like it's a must-win.
