  1. I nearly got in an accident last sunday coming back from the Cubs game on Lake Shore. I was driving in the lane on the right of the fast lane when a guy in a SUV flew up past me on my right, slowed down, and then tried to merge into my lane quickly without signaling when his rear tires were right next to my sister in the passenger seat. There was a truck right up behind me and no time to speed up. Thankfully, I had been keeping an eye on the road around me and knew I could make it into the fast lane. My passengers were jarred a bit when I had to swerve over there, but at least they weren't crushed by the renegade SUV. I'm just happy there was nobody in that fast lane... cause I might not be here today if there was.
  2. 409 with an 80 ESPN Ramon Ortiz is killing me right now with his hot start... but its more than balanced out by McCarthy. What's really hurting is the lack of plate appearances for Scotty Pods and Chone Figgins.
  3. Pie, Jones, and Murton all will produce about the same amount of offensive value given a full season of plate appearances. Floyd is a better hitter, but has some injury concerns. Pie and Murton are under club control for a while longer... and given the difference between Jones and Floyd with their comprable contracts, it's better to be rid of Jones.
  4. I offered a guy in my league Kelly Johnson, Carlos Guillen, and Gary Sheffield for Dan Uggla and Lance Berkman about a week ago. He declined it. Yesterday, I got the same offer from him, but he dropped Guillen out of the mix. He actually lowered his price past what I had offered him inside of a week, and now my offense sports Pujols, Hafner, Berkman, and Dunn.
  5. You've never taken your eyes off the road to pick out the next song on your ipod, or to look through your phone book to make a call?
  6. Goodness... It's a shame, really. At least juding from the photos of his car, it was probably quite quick.
  7. Dempster up to 25 pitches. He has to be feeling it now.
  8. Are they chanting "pink goatee" over and over again?
  9. I don't know that I can keep watching this. I'm about to have an infarction.
  10. Edmonds is a lefty. I think the difference in ability between Wuertz and Cotts covers for the platoon disadvantage. What about the difference between Edmonds and Taguchi? That might change things a bit.
  11. Edmonds is a lefty. I think the difference in ability between Wuertz and Cotts covers for the platoon disadvantage.
  12. That pop out was mighty important. Why is Cotts coming in?
  13. Don't even start that crap, please.
  14. I'm gonna go get a beer and a cigarette ready.
  15. Can't wait to see it again on Baseball Tonight and listen to the hosts talk about how much of a trooper Eckstein is. they won't show highlights...the yankees and boston are playing and there isn't enough time to cover the other teams in the majors tonight They'll probably just mention Eckstein being "extra gritty" on the ticker.
