    Holy crap these dudes covering baseball are worse than terrible. One dude wants to move the bases back 3 feet so there will be no close plays.

    Already used.

    Is that good? Yes... just so long as Vitters doesn't have the same injury problems. Remember, Aramis Ramirez has essentially been Howie Kenrick with more pop. I think O_O compared Vitters to Aramis. I'd love that. I worry about his defense though.

    How does one countdown from 1? Or have a top 1 list? number 1 equals the best. When the number is zero it has no value. The Cubs have won. 1 is the big number.

    at 10. All lists in America are in base 10. I think it's a law or something. 100 10 1

    Needs a battery of drug tests ASAP. There is no way anyone should be winning races by jogging while everyone else is busting a blood vessel running as hard as they can he's not jogging obviously. his stride is a lot longer than everyone else so it makes it look like he's not running hard, but he didn't break michael johnson's record by coasting. and i'm pretty sure that he's being tested, just like everyone else. It's Ganja. I ran faster when I lived in Jamaica.

    Slugging or chugging.

    I want to change my vote to France (the French)

    I went with Lee. It wasn't close.

    This is an awesome post. There is nothing better in life than getting tickets to a Cubs game. When they come as a present or a surprise it is even better.

    Why would you say that? If nothing else is on, I'll put on the Dodgers game on Extra Innings just to listen to Vin. His voice is just so... baseball. I miss the days when Vin would do national broadcasts. he's easily one of my all-time favorites. I think he's terribly overrated. It could be because I don't like the one man gig though.
  16. CubinNY
    Fantastic.

    I don't agree with the dude's sentiment at all, but that doesn't mean this thread isn't completely out of control. They've been pitching Lee away for most of the season. He's taken those and hit singles with them. No big deal. I'd like for him to hit for more power, but I'd like Jennifer Aniston to quit dating rockstars and actors and check me out, too. The thing I worry most about Lee is that he seems to have slider bat speed.

    So are ancient stats and medieval stats because a double is always better than a single, a triple is always better than a double, and the HR is Caesar, King, or President b/c it always results in a run.

    I'm down with this one. Oh, I hate the Marlins.

    There's no guarantee that if Dunn takes a whack at a pitch early in the count he's a) going to make contact or b) it's going to not result in a putout. I'm sure there are times where Dunn would have hit a HR or a base hit had he made contact earlier in the count but it stands to reason that the times he would have made an out would vastly outnumber the times he wouldn't have. In other words, If he makes contact on pitches earlier in the count his BA in those situations would surely go down. The reason it is so high is likely because he's getting pitches he can mash. What I'd like to see is some analysis of his swings in those counts (swings = times he makes contact + times he does not). If he's not swinging early I think your point has some merit, but if his swing % is not significantly less.... My opinion is that Dunn knows his limitations, like any great hitter. He's a low contact masher with a very good eye for pitches that he can drive.

    "Bail was set at $5,000" "Not guilty, your honor" "Meth, it's not just for breakfast anymore." "That mullet looks good, where did you get your hair cut?" "It's only the front tooth." "She deserved it." "More cushin' for the pushin'" "No, it's Hep C, not Hep B!"

    By that time the Cubs and Brewers could have the playoffs clinched. Then it becomes a pissing match. Who do the Cubs want to face in the NLDS and is it worth going balls out to get it? It's more about setting up your rotation for the playoffs. I would rather just have home field. Those two points aren't necessarily mutually exclusive but they can be if Lou goes for best record.

    In doing a little research for my last post I noticed that the Cubs have a run differential of +160. The Next closest is Boston with 128. That is just sick. The Nats have a -150. That shows just how good this team has been up to this point.

    With their schedule, i wouldn't put it past the Brewers to finish that way. 40 games left means what, 18 starts for Sabathia? It's too early yet, but if the Cubs keep the hammer down I could easily see the Brewers content with the WC. However, that pre-supposes that the Cardinals will fade and they haven't yet. If the Cubs are up by 5 or 6 by mid September and the Cardinals have faded I think the Brewers will rest CC and Sheets. Like I said a month ago we have to hope that the Brewers and Cardinals stay close to each other and tread water. It means that the Cubs can rest some guys while the Brewers cannot. C.C is already at 180 IP and Sheets at 160. I'd love to see Yost burn them in the heat of an August/September push for the playoffs. Maybe he could get Braun to come back early and aggravate whatever is ailing him. Same thing will go for the thee teams in the East and two in the West.
