Do you have anybody in mind to take Vance's spot?
-
Ha. Never heard of her. Fixed. I think she would be proud of how I turned her team around.
-
I sent him a PM trade proposal last week and I never got a response.
-
Ha. Never heard of him.
-
I was going to ask you what's up with him. We need active managers. I'm a bit disappointed. Thought Vance would be a good addition.
-
Have I mentioned lately that this live scoring program kicks ass.
-
I never did figure out whose team I inherited. El Scorcho? Anyone?
-
I like my exempt players. Josh Hamilton, BJ Upton, Matt Cain and James Shields are all looking pretty respectable.
-
So the TBA's are keeping up in real time now? Cool. If so, James Shields outing was magnanimus. After the 1st inning, he had a score of -11. I had to conduct a business meeting, I come back to check on his outing and he's sitting at 30.25. How does a guy throw 25 pitches in the first inning and only 80 over the next 8? Life is good.

Bonds had 136 starts in the 3 spot in 2001-Kent had 12. Kent had 141 starts in the 4 spot-Bonds had 11. Yeah, I actually edited my post to correct myself before you responded. There was a year where they did that, though. Maybe it was '02.
-
I'm pretty sure that Kent was hitting 3rd ahead of Bonds for a better portion of Bonds' 73 HR season. Edit: That would make me incorrect. Kent batted 4th most of the season.

Papelbon can't pitch EVERY single day.

The video was doctored. The video I saw showed Hopper grab the ball with his left hand and tuck it inside the glove. This video skips away just as Hopper is grabbing the ball.
-
This doesn't apply to the Martinez deal. The ball was loose, Hopper tucked it into Freel's glove. Freel laid there motionless. The umpire saw the ball in Freel's glove while he lay there motionless. The umpire called the guy out based on the fact he could clearly see the ball nestled in Freel's glove. But, what the umpire didn't see was that Hopper took a ball that was NOT in the glove but laying on the field of play and tucked it into Freel's glove. I kind of compare it to when Moises Alou tried to kick a ball and hide it in the ivy in hopes of a ground rule double. It's cheating.
-
There's a thread on this in Rivalries.
-
I think he lucked out. When you fall behind on every hitter, bad things can and should happen.
-
Freel couldn't take the ball out of his glove. He was laying there motionless with what appeared to be a neck injury. The ball came loose, Hopper put it back in his glove while no one was looking. When the umpire came over, the ball was nestled in Freel's glove right where Hopper put it.
-
Yeah, I hope he's okay. But........... Hopper is a cheater. I rewinded my DVR to see the whole thing again. Hopper went over to Freel and blocked the view of the umpire while he put the ball in Freel's glove. What should have been an inside the park home run was recorded as an out.
-
Ryan Freel carried off on a stretcher with an apparent neck injury. I hope he's okay. I've replayed the injury many times. Hopper and Freel nearly collided as Freel hit the warning track dirt hard. The reason I replayed the play over and over is because I couldn't believe I saw what I saw. Freel and Hopper both crashed hard. Freel wasn't moving. Hopper went over to Freel and blocked the umpires view while he put the ball into Free's glove. What should have been an inside the park home run was recorded as an out. Freel made the catch, but on the crash landing the ball came loose from his glove. Even in a moment of crisis a guy has time to cheat. Unbelievable.
-
Moises Alou is about to come off the DL. I like his bat much more than Jones. And Lastings Milledge is also a much better option than Jones. -
Jim Hendry should be Fired - NOW!
BigbadB replied to The Voice of Reason's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Just further proves that it is stupid to pay a middle reliever BIG money to do the same thing you can pay a guy 350K to do. I'm sure my wife would stick a needle in my eye for free if I really wanted it done badly enough. But, instead, I think I'll pay my sister a couple grand to do it instead. That makes sense, doesn't it? -
It shouldn't take much. I'd probably start with: 1) Overhauling management 2) Get rid of all the current players in exchange for better players 3) Move to a new town 4) Change the name of the team 5) Enter the team into a high school division 6) Play a completely different sport that has a much lower risk of injury 7) Pay will be based on current production, not past history That would be a good start.

More day game complaining - this time from Aramis
BigbadB replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I rest my case. -
I'm pissed about last night's game. I wasted a lot of energy getting excited about a comeback, only to get disappointed by a bullpen implosion. The good news is that there are no different ways for the Cubs to lose now. They've succeeded at losing in every possible way imagineable. Therefore, there will be no new surprises. Every loss from this point forward will just be redundant in nature. Carry on.
