Video of Aram's HR synched with Pat and Ron
CubinNY replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
He's got such a pretty swing. -
Baseball Tonight just took a crap on Erik Bedard.
CubinNY replied to badnews's topic in General Baseball Talk
This is exactly correct. It doesn't make much romance for the sports writers but it is exactly correct. -
I don't think they'd go lefties on back-to-back days Z Harden Lilly Dempster Hill
-
The lazy so and so does it again. He didn't even sprint around the bases on that HR. The tip of the cap was done with the least amount of effort possible.

How many of you have purchased this in the past month or so?
CubinNY replied to Old Style's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Edmonds looks to me like he's going back into washed up player mode. It was fun while it lasted. -
Keeping Tabs on the Creature
CubinNY replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
That's not a bad idea at all. He and ward are basically the same player; can't really play defense a lick but can mash a ball every now and then. I doubt it will happen though, Lou loves him some versatility and 13 pitchers (to only use 9). -
wooo!

THROW STRIKES
-
The hour glass has ran out of sand for Jimmy.
-
That's worth noting, but that makes it a staggering coincidence that his performance went completely in the tank after that extra innings debacle. Dude, the breaks are always beating me. That's why I like to go up to the mountains with my dog and a good scotch and fish
-
Jeter is currently signed through 2010. It will be interesting if contract talks heat up starting this offseason. I wonder how he'd handle going into 2010 with an expiring contract. He'll be 37 in 2011 and if his skills have diminished as much as people think, I'd have to think he would contemplate retirement.
-
Not sure if this is directed at me, but if that's what you're getting from my posts, you're not reading them or not understanding them. It wasn't really directed at anyone, just the idea that Harden isn't a gamble.
-
I think this topic should be discussed more. They need to be creative with Harden. Somebody jokingly suggested trading for him and putting him on the DL before this all went down. With the 4-day break coming up and 3 off days in August, I'd like to see them mix in some rest for him by going with Marshall and Marquis, and possibly even a Lieber start against a team he might match up with (Houston or Washington perhaps). I'd have Lilly and Zambrano take the first two starts after the break, then possibly throw Marquis in game three to push both Dempster and Harden back. Call Marshall back up in late July and give him a start in AZ or againt FLA. I think that is a good idea provided they have enough of a lead. Keeping Marshall and especially Marquis fresh in the dog days is a good plan too. Marquis really fades after the ASB.
-
Harden is a very high risk player. To think otherwise is foolish I don't care. He's was the best available and the Cubs are in the cat-bird seat. This trade doesn't put them over the top. They're already there.
-
so now it's a burgeoning conspiracy theory? The non-subscriber article seems more like a drug-induced ramble than a well-reasoned piece of journalism. He's basically saying that all the players the A's got back could suck. Yeah, that's true. So what? So could LaPorta. And Harden could implode too. The trade was risk for risk. Period. And Beane didn't suddenly take a bottle of stupid pills, so he might want to consider that before rambling on as if he knows everything about all these players. He's a she I think. And I don't like the cheating speculation either. The Cubs aren't the only team to play well at home. She can go scissor the scissorsisters.
-
I know. I was driving home from class and listening to Ron and Pat on XM. They said that Hendry was coming on and I was thinking "why?". Then Pat congratulated Hendry on the Harden deal and I yelled like a school girl. It scared my wife. Then I high fived her. And she asked what was going on. I told her and she asked if they Cubs traded Theriot. I told her no. She loves Theriot for some reason.
-
His entire life. Puerto Rico is part of the US.
-
I think Hendry's main weakness might also be a strength. He gives his manager the players that the manager wants. Fortunately for us Lou knows what he's doing and he does the right thing most of the time.
-
Jeter and its not particularly close. Just look at the RC. It's almost laughable. Theriot 2008 RC/G: 5.2 Jeter 2008 RC/G: 4.4 MCGOOBWNED Not even close. You cannot look at a half of a year's worth of data. Look at the runs created for their career each year. Jeter got off to a terrible start this year.
-
Nope. (HR*13+(BB+HBP-IBB)*3-K*2)/IP + League Specific Constant Park factors are over played by most people anyway. The numbers for most parks outside of a few severe outliers are about the same (i.e., very small SD overall).
-
I'm down. The guy is something else.
-
Yea! I cannot freaking believe it. Holy crap. I cannot believe it. Take that Beermakers. Take that.
-
Jeter and its not particularly close. Just look at the RC. It's almost laughable. Jeter is 34, appears to be on the decline, and is making $21M a year. There is just about no player I would take him over with that salary. Who said anything about salary. Jeter's decline and Theriot's incline will never meet. It's almost a joke of a question. I really don't understand the level of Jeter hate on this board. Just look at his numbers.

Unless and until we get some people posting some inside junk from the A's equivalent to Bigbird (Big Elephant?) this thread will not approach the greatness that the Brian Roberts Thread.
