    Jim Hendry doing his best impersonation of this guy.

    "I have been traded to the White Sox for the rights to Matt Karchner."

    Wikipedia: Treatment of colitis may include the administration of steroids. How fortuitous!

    The Beatles sang about it. Picture yourself on a boat on a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly A girl with colitis goes by

    Not the NBA. MLB moniters this and will punish a team that the feel is abusing the DL. I also think Pagan could just be sent down, so why DL him. There has to be some sort of injury, but, if it's minor, the Cubs could give Pagan the choice of going on the DL or being optioned to AAA. I'm sure he'd take the major league service time.

    He may not come to mind immediately, but Mike Schmidt was a truly great baseball player. I suppose that dullard who announces for ESPN belongs in that class, too.

    They aren't a top 4 NL team by any stretch, but they could still very easily make the playoffs. Pythagoras says we are. Is there any evidence that pythagorean WL is a predictive stat? I'm not being argumentative here; I really want to know if there is any study that shows actual WL reverts to pyth WL instead of the other way around (or, possibly, no reversion in either direction). I've always looked at pyth record as nothing more than a summary of runs for/against, not a prediction of future winning pct - but maybe I'm wrong. It seems to be a fairly decent predictor, but certainly not without its flaws. In 2006, the Mets were 7 games better than "expected" and Atlanta and Colorado were 5 games worse than "expected". In the AL that year, Oakland was +7 and Cleveland was -12 (!). http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL_2006_standings.shtml

    There are 10 spaces. Fox Patterson Moore Soto Cedeno Pie Petrick Gallagher Cherry We need one more. Rapada's been up once. Who else? If Fontenot gets sent down today, he's the guy.
  9. JeffH
    It's missing Moore as well.
  10. JeffH
    Agree. If anything, Fontenot takes over to 2B when DeRosa moves to the outfield due to Jones piss poor bat. Also, I think Lou will try Pagan against LHP to try to ease Pie back in as a regular. Lastly, Theriot looks like the more consistent out there out of all players that have been shuffled around, so he's not going to sit for Cedeno. Jacque has been better than DeRosa lately. DeRosa has been pretty bad here for more than a month. He could use some rest.

    He's hitting well, but he can never slide or do anything that would cause him to leave his feet, as he'll probably break his back or something. Shouldn't have been signed in the first place. Has our offense become so bad that we now believe that Cliff Floyd is "hitting well"? His OPS in July was .689. So far in August, it's .679. Right now, he's a terrible baseball player.
  12. JeffH
    If we're not going to have any power, let's try to out-defense and out-footspeed the other guys.
  13. JeffH
    I wouldn't be surprised if Mike Fontenot gets sent down.
  14. JeffH
    Please just release Cliff Floyd. I'm sure he's a hell of a guy, but he has no place on a supposed contender.
  15. JeffH
    I'm glad they're at least smart enough to recognize the need for a rangy CF at Coors.
  16. JeffH
    Yeah...I was thinking this last night...what the hell is up with Lee just watching pitches go by? Last night in several at bats he looked like a little league kid who's afraid to hit and is just hoping for a walk Well, who can blame him? He was just trying to get on base for the unstoppable force that is Cliff Floyd.
  17. JeffH
    Lately, Lee looks like he just doesn't care. I'm sure that's not true, but he looks lifeless out there.
  18. JeffH
    Treasures, dude, Treasures!
  19. JeffH
    Jacque for Payton. Floyd to anywhere for anything. DFA Koyie Hill. If he clears waivers, assign him to Iowa if he's willing. Recall him in September. Possibly in late August if you must have him on the postseason roster. If he can somehow make it through waivers, Matt Stairs. Same with Craig Monroe. Bring up Pie and Soto. Murton everyday in LF. Pie and Payton in CF. Stairs and Monroe in RF.
  20. JeffH
    Vance, would it be too much of an imposition to ask you to skip the game and go to Treasures instead? You're bad ju-ju, man.
  21. JeffH
    Willy O has the shoulder trouble, not Wily Mo.
  22. JeffH
    who are you talking about, ohman or pena? Ohman.
  23. JeffH
    You know what's wrong with Ramirez? He is unable to clone himself.
  24. JeffH
    I'm hopeful that Bridget Fonda knocks on my front door and asks if she can sit on my lap, but I believe that planning my love life around that is probably not a good idea.
  25. JeffH
    All of the bashing should be reserved for the offense and its deranged architect, Jim Hendry.
