  1. does anyone realize that reed johnson's OPS is below .700? by the way, "finding out if pie can play" isn't consistent with "starting reed johnson against RHP"
  2. It drives me crazy when these guys don't prepare enough to at least pronounce the players names correctly especially when both guys mentioned are in the cards' division. it's not like it's an american league team that they never see, it's the cubs and pirates... like 20% of the cards' games will come against those teams.
  3. a four pitch walk to brian freakin barton? come on.
  4. Isn't that what your name used to be? play pie or something? yes maybe at this point you should change it back to play pie
  5. I agree that it does seem silly most of the time when they compare him to Ichiro or something, but to not see the similarity between his swing and Hideki's is crazy. Yeah, that was pretty interesting. It's just that it seems EVERY non-cubs telecast I watch compares him to some other Japanese guy. Just watch, tomorrow night Joe Morgan will probably reference that Fukudome's taste in women is similar to Hideo Nomo. fukudome's porno collection is a far cry from that of hideki matsui, though.
  6. you can't walk across home plate... what does d-lee think he's doing
  7. oh good, people are still talking about pat burrell like he's wily mo pena.
  8. i'll be more convinced that soriano is coming out of his funk when he hits a non-belt-high fastball hard.
  9. lol, nice slide lilly. i'm gonna go with rick ankiel for the trivia answer.

  11. well i guess that's why you don't want people on base when pujols is up

  13. yeah tim, nobody ever says that derek jeter is unselfish.
  14. fortunately for geovany it doesn't matter how fast you run around the bases after hitting the ball over the fence.
  15. no, yadier molina is not an all-around threat joe. you're thinking of geovany soto.
  16. count me in on the "hill to the minors" idea. it's obvious that lou won't give him the proper chance to work out his problems with the major league club, so it's best that he go somewhere that he can take the ball every five days and be allowed to get his mechanics straightened out.
  17. I dont think you get many arguments. My thing with Cedeno is Lou flat out said he was going to get him in the lineup, but even with ARam out, he still doesnt. i wasn't referring so much to that. the cedeno hand-wringing is much more prevalent on this board than the concern about pie's lack of playing time, but at least the cubs have a SS who is hitting well to this point. reed johnson hasn't been bad but he hasn't been good either - he's been pretty much what you'd expect him to be. also, if i recall correctly, the cubs did say that felix pie was their everyday CF, which apparently lasted all of two weeks.
  18. just kinda thinking/asking out loud here, but doesn't the ACL most impact lateral movement? a pitcher doesn't have a lot of side-to-side motion. would it be possible for gallardo to pitch with a torn ACL while wearing a knee brace?
  19. hey can someone remind ryan ludwick that he's not stan musial but he really is, in fact, ryan ludwick?
  20. hey good one about teddy roosevelt, tim! God, what a dork he is.
  21. while everyone complains about cedeno - where is pie in today's lineup? last time i checked, kyle lohse was a right handed pitcher, which means that felix pie should be playing, not reed johnson.
