  1. Before or after the attack by rabid wolverines? Before, during, and after. If there's a delay, there's a chance we see Kerry Wood throwing. They pushed him back til tomorrow supposedly because there weren't enough innings... well, Hill will get pulled if this game gets delayed more than 15 mins, I'm pretty sure.
  2. I'm calling it now. Mark Prior will be struck by lightning.
  3. Giles must have pissed off the ump on the crappy call on that 2nd strike, cause that 3rd one was even further off.
  4. I am extremely pleased overall with Prior's outing today. He's still got a lot of work to do, but those last two innings felt almost like 2003.
  5. I agree. This is a huge improvement over his previous starts. A few more starts and he could be ready to pitch for the Cubs. Knock on wood, you fool! You'll jinx us!
  6. Well, seeing as how they almost certainly know about this place, it would probably be a bad idea to state exactly how many times you're voting. They could pretty easily discount all those.
  7. I'm sure when you're still only making league minimum in a profession that does not have a long shelf life for employees, that first large guaranteed contract looks that much nicer. It takes you from being a potential insurance salesman in 20 years to retiring. If it were me, I wouldn't have waited a year either.
  8. There's a spy... $20 says it's Raisin.
  9. I'm willing to take my chances on A-rod with that... From what I understand, the Yankees are only on the hook for 48 over those three years, with the Rangers picking up the rest of the tab.
  10. playing that well where? 2nd, because DeRosa has moved into a platoon in RF / super-sub role. Na, in my dream that position is filled with The Riot posting a .375 OBP and hitting in the #2 spot. :D See, I have us trading Theriot straight up for Santana in my dream.
  11. What's so funny about Cherry Strawberry?
  12. playing that well where? 2nd, because DeRosa has moved into a platoon in RF / super-sub role.
  13. Is Marquis going to be league average in VORP? Yes, you're on Really hard bet to measure... Do you base it on SP's who qualify based on IP? If so, Marquis is unlikely to be better than average. Do you base it on all SP's who appear for their teams at all? If that's the case, Marquis will pitch enough innings to be well above league average. If both of the extremes are too...extreme...then where do you find the appropriate cutoff? The line is drawn to where I would win or lose the bet.
  14. I sure hope this means Tomas Perez isn't getting a contract.
  15. As long as the Cubs are exceeding the salary midpoint by a good margin, I'm against a salary cap.
  16. are you saying he'll be good? then YES i do. i'm in on that too. If I had a farm, I'd bet it on him not being anywhere near good.
  17. What do you want to bet they try to keep the ball down in the zone this at bat?
  18. Horrible jump by Perez, and that stutter step before the slide should have been it. He got lucky as hell there.
  19. I'd honestly rather lose every single spring training game than watch Tomas Perez slowly play his way onto this team.
