  1. Watch it, some Card fan is going to reply that its not so out of the ordinary, that such a thing happens for every team. That Ponson always had the potential to do so and it just so happens he decided to be great the moment he put a Cardinal uniform.
  2. Ponson? What of Arroyo, he of the 4.41 lifetime ERA and W-L of 38-33 pitching like he's Cy Young Superman?
  3. How many hard hit balls have come off the bat of Pierre? I'd say its no more than 10, when was the last time he hit a line drive? Granted, he puts the ball in play a lot more than Patterson ever did but, little infield dribblers are about as effective as a strikeout.
  4. I don't believe so, to the Cubs credit, they seem to have taken a little bit different approach, last two seasons, I have no doubt they would have stuck with Rusch. This season they've already replaced Williams and if Hill does well I believe he'll take Rusch' spot.
  5. Dusty like move pitching to Murton, with a man on deck who couldn't hit a LHP if his life depended on it...
  6. Does Pierre EVER hit the ball hard? or a hit a line drive?
  7. What's this?! Cubs bullpen getting some onem out for the first time in three days?
  8. Thge Cubs load the bases with no outs - don't score, Pirates hit a bunch of cheesey, crap singles and of course, tie the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  9. Pat and Ron dicussing all time x-base hitting and RBI leaders, what no Pujols? I thought he gets 100 x-base hits everytime he rolls out of bed.
  10. The rest of the NL has figured out if given a chance, Santos will pitch him self into trouble, somebody please send the Memo to the Cubs.
  11. I didn't catch Game 4 from the start but, there was quite a bit of dicussion regarding Shaq, after Game 3's poor performance, coming out like gangbusters. Did he? Can we expect plenty of him knocking whomever is guarding him out of the way and dunking in Game 5?
  12. Typical Angelo draft - the "under the radar" projects, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
  13. Team ERA of 5.01 (with three shutouts), BAA of .282, given up 38 HR, allowing 13.8 base runners per 9 innings tells you all you need to know about where the Reds are going to end up.
  14. If the Bulls had a legitimate inside (not Tim Thomas but, someone who the Heat would take seriously) threat they'd be leading the series maybe, even up 3-0.
  15. I agree...
  16. Beyond Pujols and having out their mind offensive seasons the Cardinals bullpen has been the key to success. Their bullpen, as presented constructed, is far weaker than 2004 and 2005 - its going to cost them plenty of games. When you're trotting the likes of Looper, Rincon and Flores out there, you're going to have problems, even if you're the Cardinals.
  17. Sure was...
  18. How do the Reds with perhaps, the worst pitching staff in the NL, have two shutouts already?
  19. Wouldn't a Walker GG be funnier than heck? (Not at the expense of Lee out, though.) Yeah, because as I recall, Walker is absolutely brutal on defense. :eyeroll: If Pujols wins the Triple Crown, he'll win the GG, even if he leads the NL in errors, the voters will site his "incredible range".
  20. LOL, me too. Pujols wins the game in the bottom of the 9th. That guy is gonna win the Triple Crown this year. He's just unreal. Last night on BT Gammons, et al, were discussing teams pitching around Pujols, it starting and, until Edmonds or Rolen start swinging consistently, were going to see more and more pitching around Pujols. At the moment the Cards are basically a one man team, Pujols with what, 35% or so, of their RBI's? If he goes down, they're done...
  21. The Bulls hung in there again, I believe they'll get at least one, maybe tow games in this Series. Given what Hinrich and Gordon have done to Heat, what, if the Heat make that far, kind of numbers are Billups and Hamilton going to put up? Does anyone believe the Heat have even a remote chance against the Pistons?
  22. I agree, if anything, the Umpires are inconsistent, their strike zone appears to change from inning to inning. As for LaRussa I think you've got him pegged.
  23. I always thought it was his motion and ability to hide the ball until the last moment that got people out. Not so much his stuff, if he had a more traditional pitching motion, I don't believe he would be nearly as effective.
  24. Exaggeration? What of Womack in '04 or Nunez last season?
  25. fixed. he is, afterall, 37 yrs old LOL, he's one of the "oldest" looking 25 year olds I've ever seen. I'm guessing that when he was 1 he looked like 13 year old.
