    I don't mean to sound like Dusty, but Floyd is just too damn slow for the 2 spot. is there some event i'm not aware of where the 2 spot hitters compete in a 100 meter dash or something? why does it matter if the 2 hitter is fast? he won't be doing any running in front of lee and ramirez. i'm fine with theriot starting, but i wish it was at the expense of izturis instead of derosa. I didn't say he had to be fast, I just think he shouldn't be slower than Barry Bonds. And that's mainly so he can get from first to home on a double, which I really don't think Floyd is capable of right now. In order to go from first to home on a double, one must get on first base beforehand. Floyd is much more likely to find himself in that situation.

    I don't mean to sound like Dusty, but Floyd is just too damn slow for the 2 spot. Considering the relative lack of singles and walks from Soriano, I'd say there probably isn't a better place in the lineup to put him. It would minimize the incidence of GIDP out of him, helping to maximize his value to the team.

    Personally, I'd flip-flop Jones and Floyd. I don't know why people would rather have Theriot batting second than Jones, though. Honestly, if you have to choose one player to give the possible extra plate appearance to, I'd rather it be the one that's more likely to produce. Like it or not, Jones is still a better hitter than Theriot.

    22 years old, and I'm not a big fan. However, I am a true believer that if you believe something is helping you do well, taking it away will hurt you... even if only for the psychological impact. For that reason, and that reason alone I had to vote that I like the blues. I simply don't want Zambrano to get upset about not being able to wear what he wore in all his good years and have a bad one as a result. Pinstripes are amazing, I don't think there's a better uniform in the bigs. The Greys are awful. Something really needs done. I'd love to see a Navy Blue road jersey.

    I like this first pitch alot more. You know, our culture really doesn't bow enough.

    Cameron was also batting third today for the Padres. He's a criminally undervalued player, not only from a fantasy perspective but in the real game too. And I picked up Piazza for my league too. He may not produce as much on a per plate appearance basis, but he should have a lot more plate appearances to even it out. Got him in round 15.

    I couldn't resist dropping in one last tongue lashing.

    My pitching staff has been wicked so far with King Felix, Ben Sheets, Jake Peavy, and Brett Myers. Myers has easily been my worst pitcher, and he went 7.2 IP, 9 SO, 3.52 ERA, and a 0.78 WHIP. I can live with those numbers.

    Ya know, I used to light bags like those on fire... left them on cards fans' doorsteps, incidentally.

    Huzzah? Don't get me wrong, I'd like any advantage over the Cardinals... but at the same time I'd like to legitimately take the division, without cards fans being allowed to say "well if carp weren't hurt..."
  13. Rob
    no yes

    I think Zambrano should get grandfathered in and still be allowed to wear the blues for his starts. Everybody else will have to settle for the pinstripes and an updated road gray.

    Freaking lack of Extra Innings package... grrr...
  16. Rob
    I liked them solely for the fact that it gave the pitchers a chance to control their superstitions by focusing on which jersey to wear when they start.

    Sounds about right. That is one of the local access stations. Thanks!

    What's your provider? Insight. I'm in Bloomington-Normal, if that helps.

    He did force about 20 more pitches out of Lackey, who is sitting at 69 of them already through three.

    You know, this is why I love this board. It's a freaking Rangers - Angels game, and we have a nice number of intelligent fans watching it.

    Sammy has to be making a conscious effort to lay off the low and away breaking balls. Good for him.

    Draws a walk.

    Does anybody know how to find out what channel CSN+ runs on? Everywhere else I've lived, it's been a random local access channel.

    I threw both Sheets and King Felix in my fantasy league today. Myers didn't do too bad for Philly either. :twisted:

    I'd love to get ARod for Z under the right circumstances, but saying Zambrano can't throw strikes is absurd. Not really. Z led the majors in walks (115) last season. He was also fourth in the league in strikeouts (a mere six off the leader). Can't get those without throwing strikes.
