    The first time that sentence has ever been used in history Macier Izturis has 2 AB out of the cleanup spot. :twisted:
  2. Rob
    No. He doesn't get on base that much and his power would be less useful out of the leadoff spot. And not even to dignify talk of his speed being useful there, but he doesn't steal bases at a good enough rate that we should be sending him at all.

    None of us care about your health. EAT! I'm out of nuggets, and I only have about $200 on me. I don't know how many nuggets that buys... It buys enough for you to eat us to a division title. FWIW, I will be buying nuggets before each game until we lose. Are they Wendy's nuggets? Those are the best. Yeah, they are... but I got out of class just as the game was starting and McDonalds was much much closer. Edit: That was worded badly. Wendy's nuggets = best, but I have McD's.

    From everything I've read he's going to be a 15-20 homer guy when he's going right. Someone with more knowledge can correct me though. That's low end. He's more like a 20-25 guy, who could have a couple flukey seasons north of 30.

    Somehow, I don't give Trammell credit for this one. Who else could have put the ball over the fence with telekinesis?

    That entire rally started the second I started eating the chicken nuggets I got on the way home. I hope we keep this up, cause I don't wanna have to go buy more to facilitate another rally.

    FWIW, I'm pretty sure the thread started in here and got moved out later.

    While I am excited to see Gallagher pitch again, I am quite pissed it comes at the expense of Gooz. At least jerking a fragile pitcher between the bullpen and the rotation was a smart idea at the time. :roll:

    No manager is going to pinch hit for his starting SS in the 4th inning, regardless of the situation. Earl Weaver pinch hit for Mark Belanger in the first once, IIRC. At any rate, how about the 6th inning down by three with a runner on second? Mind you, DeRosa is on the bench, and Theriot can move over to SS. For that matter, why is Izzy even in the freaking lineup? Isn't Lou still making out the lineups before the game? Anyway, are we now going to hound each and every decision a manager makes, waiting to play the "he sucks" card when we find one that isn't the absolute statistically perfect move? Did I say he sucks? I said the honeymoon was over. Compared to the other managers, Trammel did just fine... though the bar is set pretty low for that.
  12. Rob
    Yeah, and I wouldn't think twice about it.
  13. Rob
    As bad as Lilly was, that insurance run off of Wuertz was huge. Nice catch Sori! Considering our interim manager's small ball style, I'd almost rather be down by 2 than one... it gives him less of a chance to actively give away our outs.
  14. Rob
    Damn.
  15. Rob
    Hey hey! I wonder if DeRosa coulda done that in one of the situations Izturis was in earlier.
  16. Rob
    Watch the language or be banned quickly.
  17. Rob
    The best move would have been to start DeRosa and Theriot.
  18. Rob
    I already called pod people.
  19. Rob
    Beer + Cigarettes = Apathy Yay?
  20. Rob
    Ahhh, a bait and switch. Apparently, pod people have switched the appearance of wuertz and eyre to hurt us. Oh god... he was out.
  21. Rob
    I dont know if you're being serious or not, but if you are, then if we got a crappy prospect at least we could let him waste away in the minors as opposed to paying him 4 million dollars to watch him fail time after time. Not to mention the fact that we would no longer have to listen to clueless people prattle on about what an asset he is.

    We traded a future HOF'er for him. Sad. I'm pretty happy with our rotation's performance outside of Zambrano. Maddux would have only taken up space and salary. Maddux for prospects on the other hand... I don't buy we gave up a HOF talk but Hendry got shafted. Not only did he give up Maddux but he acquired and overrated, worthless SS who also was expensive. Essentially, Hendry added salary by adding the worthless bum. Don't forget that we gave them some cash too.

Maddux for prospects on the other hand... I would have liked to get Matt Kemp or Andre Ethier for him. If you believe the rumors, they weren't really available. I would have thrown in the necessary prospects along with Maddux to get one of those guys, though.

    WHY WHY WHY????????? Izturis isn't plus on defense anymore, and I legitimately think there's a dozen posters here who could hit better than him. So why on earth does he keep playing?
