    If he hadn't gone back to Chicago to get checked out, he would be. He should be back with the team tomorrow.

    Oh, now we bring Cotts in... Even though the book on Beltran says to turn him around in that situation.

    Dusty talking up what a wonderful player Endy Chavez is... I really don't miss Dusty at all.

    On the plus side of things, I had the foresight to buy cigarettes and beer before the game. They are coming in quite handy.

    It doesn't matter if it's the Mets, Phils, Nats, Pitt. Our bullpen Sox! The bullpen is fine. Looking at our numbers against the rest of the league we're average or above average in most stats. The problem is Lou using the wrong guys in the wrong situations.
  6. Rob
    This is another example of how conventional bullpen roles kill teams. That was obviously a huge situation for the Cubs, but instead of bringing in Wuertz, we're holding on to him to set up if we have the lead later. Is it really that hard for managers to figure it out?
  7. Rob
    Two run shot by David Wright. I have a feeling our bullpen is gonna be the deciding factor in this game.

    Was that Sutt unable to pronounce Pie?

    But then you don't get to see Erin Andrews. Always a nice plus. :D If you like Erin Andrews, you'll love this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIP7a9Z-YBM Did she ever sue that kid with the wandering hands? We settled out of court. 8-[

    Only while Theriot is hot. Once he cools off, move him down to the bottom and move every other player up a spot.
  15. Rob
    Glavine with 43 pitches through 2 innings.
  16. Rob
    That was three kinds of fantastic.

    Marquis helping his own cause. Nice. :)

    Who needs facts?

    The victims weren't really starting the brawl, but yeah, you're thinking of the right thing. People were up in the bleachers fighting and tumbling down onto the people in the rows lower than them... considering how many people were fighting, it was really quite dangerous. The funny part was that Jackson was upset about them getting suspended and expelled from school... not about some criminal charges. He was organizing sit-ins and all sorts of crap about how the videotape was racist or some asinine thing until the city council had him cuffed, thrown in the back of a paddy wagon, and turned lose outside the city with a deal that said they'd drop the charges if he'd stay the hell away from Decatur. It was the first time I was truly proud of the town... its Midwestern values had kicked Jesse Jackson in the crotch. Bah, I can't even smell it anymore. I don't even live there, but I guess I was so used to the smell that even return trips don't get to me. Although for what it's worth, the smell is getting legitimately better. ADM is turning into a real powerhouse company, and they're doing a heckuva lot more about the smell than they used to. I worked for them all summer and only noticed a bit of a stench at a few locations, but nothing like the nauseating "hold your breath on the way through" stench of five or ten years ago. It was.

    Jesse Jackson isn't allowed back in my good old hometown of Decatur, IL anymore. The city council banned him. :lol:
  21. Rob
    I just saw what happened and was looking to bump this thread. :lol:
  22. Rob
    Yeah, that'd probably be a steal for you too. I'm a big Sheets fan, and same with Upton. Either one could prove to be keeper-worthy.
  23. Rob
    Soriano isn't guaranteed another at bat, but only one person needs to get on in the next two innings for him to get one.
  24. Rob
    I'm still not convinced Jim Bowden didn't hire Lenny Harris just to keep him close to the team so that he can be added to the 40 man roster in September for the pennant race.
  25. Rob
    I understand why SD/Colorado would pass on him, given that he is, but nearly all accounts, a butcher in the field. But given that AL teams have been starting guys like Jay Gibbons, Mike Sweeney, Shea Hillenbrand, Mike Redmond and Jose Vidro -- many of whom are overpaid in addition to being unproductive -- how is it that no team thought to give a chance to a guy with a career .429 OBP and 943 OPS in the minors? He had only about 170 major league PAs, for God's sakes! The dangers of groupthink.
