    You forgot Glendon Rusch with the Padres.
  2. BCVM22
    HOLY CRAP Hoffpauir :shock:
  3. BCVM22
    Z hitting with an aluminum bat is the reason Atlantis sank.
  4. BCVM22
    What in the name of Ernie is going on during the stretch?
  5. BCVM22
    This is the obvious conclusion; there's a bullpen opening, and of your two candidates, one is a career starter and the other's done a fine job as a reliever his entire pro career. Whom do you take? Problem is that I don't often trust the organization to realize the obvious. EDIT: Ronny's got his deficiencies, but man, when he runs into one it goes a looooong way.

    Triple for DeRo And he's promptly thrown out trying to score on a fly ball, because he neglected to slide.
  7. BCVM22
    Definitely not just you. I'd just plunk him every time he comes up against the Cubs this season, personally.
  8. BCVM22
    It's good to know that even with Edmonds gone, I'll have a center fielder to hate in the division.
  9. BCVM22
    J.J. Putz already uses it. Poorly, I might add.
  10. BCVM22
    Rusch and Gerut also made the Padres roster. Man.
  11. BCVM22
    ...and? Z gave up 4 runs in 4 IP today. Jake Peavy allowed 4 runs in 3 IP. And yet you figure all 3 guys will be there chomping at the bit come Monday. That's the funny thing about spring training, is that as soon as we hit 1:20 PM on Opening Day, it all gets erased and forgotten.

    http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/rids/20080326/i/r3514716272.jpg Kosuke Cannon FIRE! The ball is out of focus because Kosuke is throwing it so hard that the ball warps the very fabric of reality as he releases it. :shock:

    Warms my heart when I see K. Wood, 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K

    Supposedly they've been doing it at Wrigley for a while now, but as that blog entry confirms, they just don't have the volume up loud enough to hear most of the time. Dempster - "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N'Roses Howry - "The Game" by Motorhead Ohman - "Into the Void" by Nine Inch Nails Eyre - "Numb" by Linkin Park Michael Wuertz - "Outshined" by Soundgarden Guzman - "Guajira" by Yerba Buena (source: "Extra Bases" section of this) Regardless, I concur with the comment on the blog entry that said Woody doesn't need entry music because every time he comes into the game the fans would overpower it anyway.

    Yes and no; apologies, I should have been more clear. No, a career .446 SLG isn't particularly good. But yes, a guy who hit 22 HRs in 2005, 30 in 2006 and hasn't hit fewer than 19 in any season where he's made at least 470 PAs now has the reputation, in the common sense if not the statistical sense, as a "power hitter" whether it's an accurate description or not. Now let's say Colletti or Sabean or whomever were kicking the tires on Crede. Despite our hope as more statistically-inclined baseball fans that people in the position of GM for a major league team would look at far more than just homers and RBIs, do you suppose they would give more weight to the career .446 SLG or the 92 HRs in four seasons as a "regular" (470+ PAs) third baseman?
  16. BCVM22
    He does have trade value; he's a third baseman who hits for power and plays defense, and has the false aura of being a "clutch hitter" about him. For teams like the Dodgers and Giants who are without anything resembling a real third baseman, that has value. The punchline is that Crede doesn't have nearly the trade value that the White Sox think he does, because every other peripheral of his sorta sucks; weren't they asking for Cain or Lincecum from San Fran in exchange?
  17. BCVM22
    I'd swear aloud and question the parentage of every person in the organization, from Will DeWitt Jr. to John Mozeliak and right on down the line from there. Typical Cubs/Cards stuff, really.

    Minor League vs. Major League Substance Abuse and Testing

    I love how Pie jumped right back up and was all "s'cool, I meant to do that."
  20. BCVM22
    Game's on CSN (Len Kasper and Ron Santo today) and MLB.TV, Gameday Audio has an MLB.com radio feed. Go Cubs!
  21. BCVM22
    Again in 2009 and every 4 years thereafter.
  22. BCVM22
    That's a questionable metric by which to judge an outfielder. Say the guy lets a ball drop in front of him that a better center fielder would have caught, or breaks the wrong way and lets a ball go over his head; neither would go as an error.
  23. BCVM22
    There but for the grace go we.
  24. BCVM22
    Strike 3 called! Well, scoreless if not dominant. The ball's in Lou's court now.
  25. BCVM22
    Swingannamiss, strike 3. No, he doesn't, which is why as much as I'm rooting for Wood every step of the way, we're all going to sweat even more when he has a shaky outing.
