    When is that?

    Got two tickets for the last home date... best available was freaking terrace reserved, though. Ugh.

    Me neither... this is getting old, fast.

    Over 100 windows going, and I havent gotten in yet...

    In the past, the title of the page would change.

    It woulda been nice if we had more than five minutes to get a grip on how many windows our comps could handle...

    That's why you memorize your card number, sucka! If you're gonna memorize a credit card number, why would you want it to be your own? In case as you are sitting waiting for VWRs to work it falls inside your coffetable/ottoman in a little crack where you will never be able to get at it. True effen story, just happened to me. Knife/sledgehammer would probably let you get at it. Just spread the cost of the new coffee table out over all those tickets. If you buy enough tickets, you're probably only spending an extra $10 per ticket on furniture.

    I mean if you think about it, wouldn't you rather have Fukudome hitting in front of Lee and Ramirez? That is definitely an issue in my mind. Oh, of course I would. The problem is in the fact that the single worst hitter on our team (bench players included, but most pitchers excluded) is currently batting in front of those guys.

    Not really. It'd be very nice if they would, but this is something that falls squarely outside of their realm of obligations.

    I've never believed that Dempster is really going to start for us this season. I thought we told him we were gonna try to use him out of the rotation in hopes that by the time he washes out in that regard, Wood has already secured himself the closer's job... which relegates Dempster to middle relief.

    Theriot should never even be considered for any of the top seven spots in the lineup. I don't much care if Lou bats him eighth or ninth, though.

    If Chad Tracy is healthy, Trot is in the minors.

    I'm just assuming this thing is dead.

    That depends almost entirely what you think of Fontenot. In all honesty, playing Ronny Cedeno instead of Theriot, and keeping Murton as our fourth OF is probably just about as good. I think that's just straight up BRob's advantage over DeRosa. If you add in DeRosa over the next utility guy (presumably Fontenot), it probably becomes a little more than 2-3 more wins. Last I checked, we weren't likely to just add Roberts (and his 2-3 wins) without subtracting from the major league squad. True, but I suppose it depends on how much PT you actually would have expected out of Murton, Gallagher, Cedeno, etc. Well, the PECOTA projections that have us a couple games ahead of the Brewers are counting on Cedeno stealing the starting job from Theriot, and Murton getting a few hundred PA as the best 4th OF in the league.

    Throwing from 45 feet on flat ground. If all goes well, he should be ready sometime in the second half. He still has one available option year. I'm really hoping he comes back a bit after the break and stays healthy. He's still got some of the best stuff in the system. We've cornered the market on lights-out light-duty right-handed relievers. I was hoping more along the lines of our third/fourth starter.

    1) You can't assume that the .300 hitter is the only one getting extra bases. In fact, he's much less likely to be getting XBH. That margin is only gonna get wider. 2) SB can't move the guys ahead of him up a base. They don't have the same value as regular total bases. If you want to call that a wash with the fact that walks can't move a runner up more than one base at a time, I'd be amenable to that. 3) You're operating under the assumption that if you don't win the game in that PA, it's game over. It's not. There are batters behind him. I'd want the guy up who is least likely to make the out to end the game. Last season, that was Weeks.
