    Haha, just said the same words to my best friend. Exactly same words.

    I don't see how his OBP would decline if he hit 15-20 homers. If his approach is patient line-drive hitting, attempting to hit more home runs would change that approach. It's not some for-certain thing, but it seems reasonable. Hasn't Ichiro also said the same thing...that he could hit for more homers but he'd overall be a less productive hitter. I believe he's put on quite some shows in BP. Guys with superb bat control and pitch recognition (not talking about race at all) like Ichiro and Fukudome probably could hit for more homers at will by lofting the ball more and swinging at pitches they could elevate. But fly balls are turned into outs much much more than liners and grounders and by having to be either more or less selective (based on what the pitcher is throwing them), there would definitely be an impact on OBP, as well as other stats. Looked for the quote, couldn't find it, but I recall a Ghost of Mariner Past (Buhner maybe?) saying that Edgar Martinez and Ichiro would go back and forth in BP and everyone else would watch in awe. But the quote also alluded to what you were saying about approach, i.e. less productive, etc.

    That's been mentioned already? Eh, there goes my point...

    Just to play Devil's Advocate, but a lot of the Cubs cooled off with the bat the past couple of weeks. Lee & Fukodome come readily to mind.

    That's what I have always said about Edmonds :cry:

    his #'s the last 2 weeks are insane...

    For this reason, I am almost hoping for a non-arm muscle strain of some sort so that he can be fresh late in the season. Cuz I know that Lou won't think to rest him

    I have a hundred bucks on him winning 15 games. I went with that simply b/c I never bought the Dempster as closer idea. My buddy is already looking for ways to re-neg.

    Good call

    He spent hours practicing that while a Cub You mean deflecting the ball off the catcher's glove in such a precise way that it bounces straight back? Of course thats what I mean

    Feels dirty, huh?

    I'm no orphan, but I died a little yesterday when they signed him

    In all fairness, shouldn't his locker have a bigger mirror, a makeup table and a those big round stripper/Rockette lights? Since he is only getting league min. from the Cubs, he should have negotiated for those perks.

    I said it in the Edmonds thread and it bears repeating. My best hope now is that Edmonds turns a routine fly into a disaster trying to make a highlight reel catch, and Z runs out to center and "Fontenot's" him into the ground.

    It may have been mentioned before, but this Theriot guy sucks and we need to upgrade.
  19. gerby23
    I'm pretty sure those are unearned. The catcher gets an error on the passed ball, which would have been the 3rd out. The 2 runs score after the should have been 3rd out. Gameday says earned Called it a wild pitch not a passed ball
  20. gerby23
    That is good to hear for those of us who aren't watching at least...
  21. gerby23
    quick--someone tell Lee its April!

    Girl looks kinda hot. they always look hot when (a) they're acting slutty and (b) you can't see their face Didn't she pay for that in an auction or something? yeah... how do i get women to pay to make out with me? Be good-looking and/or rich and famous. I got lucky and met my wife while she was drunk and made her sign a contract.

    I love Soto, but it'll be nice if he becomes a .290-.310 hitter consistently instead of red-hot followed by bone-dry streaks.

    My wife is away for the week on business, saw the news on ESPN and called to console me. Reasons like this make me remember why I love her.
