    that's absolutely ridiculous. there are people who choke and people who don't choke, but the existence of chokers doesn't mean there are people who perform better under pressure. I think the entire exercise is silly. There is no objective way to define "pressure situations" that includes all instances and excludes all non-instances. The debate is mental masturbation. I'll take both Jeter and A-Rod on my team any day, who wouldn't?

    I'm all for patience, but how long has Pie been in the organization? It's like the Don Baylor Corey Patterson dance all over again. Other than the bunt thing, I don't see anything wrong with Lou stressing OBP to Pie. Who wouldn't want that? The problem is that it's a little late now. This could also be the reason why Pie is performing dismally in the DR league. I don't know, I think we've seen this show before.

    Link. That's our very own Jim Hendry there folk....looking for someone left-handed who can run. Oh Jesus! This is a good one from Lou too I'm all for patience, but how long has Pie been in the organization? It's like the Don Baylor Corey Patterson dance all over again.

    Isn't he already 27? That someday better be soon.

    Strong armed? Seriously? It's like Abu Grabe, "hey man, we didn't know what was going on in the locker room/hey man, we didn't know what was going on during the night shift". They are complicit from the Commissioner's office on down. They are accomplices in this mess and bear as much responsibility as the players. That's why no names should be released and they should bring the standards up to Olympic (if they are not there already) and have harsh penalties, like a one year ban for the first offense, and move on.

    I don't see the point of "naming names". These people aren't communists out to do the country ill. At the same time, it is important to clean up the sport. As usual, baseball is handling this terribly. IMO, they should give every player still playing today immunity and carry on with a more rigorous testing standard. Start from ground zero. Finally, I'm not convinced that steroids/HGH HAS NOT had an appreciable impact on the game of baseball. Frankly, I don't know why anyone would think otherwise. It is a simple matter of physics. I do think it will be almost impossible to quantify though.

    Prior does not owe the Cubs anything. Baseball is a business. If the Cubs don't want to pay him what he thinks he's worth he shouldn't sign. It really isn't up to him though, it is entirely up to the Cubs.

    I just finished reading Bruce's article. This is real depressing. ](*,) Hendry seems like a nice guy. He seems like a hard workers. But he is not very good at what he does.

    Army Navy will be played in Baltimore this year. Every once in awhile they move it from Philly.

    I'm not much of college football fan, but this weekend's games have been nothing short of exhilarating

    I really need someone to explain to me why he could possible interested in Kaz if it is not for a buddy for Fukudome. It makes absolutely no sense to me, especially after trading for Infante. Cedeno Theriot Infante DeRosa Fontenot If they sign Kaz that will be six semi-interchangeable parts and almost half a roster of position players. Obviously, Fontenot probably gets shipped to AAA or traded. Cedeno doesn't have much trade value and they probably won't deal Infante for much the same reason.
  12. CubinNY
    Then maybe he should spend his time convincing Fukudome to not stay in Japan with the Giants That's an idea worth exploring.
  13. CubinNY
    I think the reckless pursuit of Kaz has everything to do with Fukudome and little to do with finding a competent player.

    Which is why they should just give him a shot and let him play. He either adjusts or he doesn't. I tend to think his track record in AAA is more indicative of his potential than his performance in the winter league. Unfortunately, for us and the Cubs Hendry cannot put a quality team together to withstand the inevitable adjustment period that most young players go through when stepping up to the big leagues.

    I love the fact that MissouriFan dude is wearing a $10 swatch/watch. That, his pasty whiteness, and the acne are are so apropos.

    I hope that is the line-up for Tennessee. I'd love to see that team in person. I see road trips to Nashville, Jackson this summer. Maybe Severville too.
  18. CubinNY
    What about the debate of why we're going after Kaz Matsui to begin with? ](*,) It is almost as if DeRosa doesn't exist at all on the Cubs roster. I really cannot see any other reason to go after The Great Kazou except to lure Fukudome. If the former happens and not the latter that is real bad. If both happens it is just plain bad. If the latter happens and not the former, that is great.
  19. CubinNY
    Now we're talking.
  20. CubinNY
    I think they will try DeRosa in RF. God forbid Murton should play.
  21. CubinNY
    You shut off your computer right now.
  22. CubinNY
    Bruce, If you are still here, can you tell us the thought process Hendry is using to go after yet another mediocre to terrible middle infielder? I mean, has anyone connected with the Cubs provided a reason why they are targeting such a redundant player?
  23. CubinNY
    Hendry's going to build us another winner with these brilliant movies of his.
  24. CubinNY
    And then proceeded to still employ Jim Hendry. I'm glad he's gone. Hopefully, Hendry will soon follow.

    Jesse James, noted slave owner and pro-slavery sympathizer. Also, like most Missourians, a man who enjoyed a bit of incest, IIRC. Now that is some good smack talk. Or is it trash talk?
