It bears mentioning that Soriano is walking 6.2% of the time this season. Even he's getting into the patience act the rest of the team is. 2004 - 5.0% 2005 - 4.8% 2006 - 9.2% (lots of "unintentional" walks that season with the Nats) 2007 - 5.0% 2008 - 6.2%
These games piss me off... I have WGN, Comcast, and the EI package... but I wont get to watch this game. I guarantee EI blacks it out since I'm in Illinois, even though I can't get WCIU.
Is that good? Yes... just so long as Vitters doesn't have the same injury problems. Remember, Aramis Ramirez has essentially been Howie Kenrick with more pop.
I have no scruples. I steal your research without thinking twice about it, and I impersonate a malevolent AI talking about cake to coerce Goldstein into talking about Vitters. And I have no qualms with any of this.
he owed us. From what? Kendall, giving them Blevins (http://oakland.athletics.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=460283) Kendall turned into Flaherty for us.
I'm on the verge of cheering for the Cards to catch the Brewers. The odds of us actually being passed up by both the Brewers and the Cardinals is about 1%. Go ahead and root for them.
It's pretty much unfair if they all are on. Pujols-Bonds-ARod couldn't hit them if they are on let alone Encarnacion-Patterson-Bako Even if Harden doesn't go 7 every time, we don't lose much nastiness-quotient if we slide Samardzija in there for an inning or two.
