  1. .348 BABIP and a .273/.331/.404 career line fluke season I didn't know that. Should have looked at the stats throughout the years.
  2. For the bench, what the hell? Why not start him at 2nd base? He batted .296/.357/.456 with 13 homers and 74 rbis.
  3. No, Gameday has him at 52 for the game now. Sorry, I still thought they were in the first. Doing homework for college.
  4. did len just say Guzman has thrown 50 pitches this inning?
  5. 6-3 St. Louis. Homerun by Bennett. Novoa showing signs of himself.
  6. Weird move. So do they want less offense or what? Let's keep up .210 hitting Jason Lane, and .228 hitting Palmeiro with the team, but let Preston go. Ok Houston- i see why you won't win the Wild Card this year.
  7. Why even talk about this guy? Hendry's too much of an blankity, blank moron to go after someone like this, instead we'll live with Juan "I don't take a walk" Pierre.
  8. For some odd reason, I have a feeling he's trying to pitch hurt, and it's not working. Poor guy's body is breaking down on him already and he's not even 30 yet.
  9. Again I will say it.. Please send Mark back here to Iowa.
  10. The Cubs are 9.5 games out of the wild card. Unbelievable, yes.
  11. Then how are you a Cubs fan?
  12. Why would we want to be jerks to the Red Sox? I can think of alot of teams I wouldn't mind screwing, but Boston isn't one of them. Especially not if we're risking ending up with Javy freakin Lopez. Are you kidding? Red Sox fans are worse than Yankee fans since 2004. Absolutely on the money. So are they booing Manny and Ortiz because they aren't hitting .350 like they are in NY about A-Rod?
  13. I thank god I don't have Comcast so I won't sit and watch this crap.
  14. Rusch and Prior having a contest to see who's ERA will be the highest by the end of the year?
  15. Just noticed this, but can anyone tell me why Barrett isn't hitting 4th tonight, and Mabry is?
  16. Yikes, why'd you pick that again? haha I somewhat liked him - I'm partial to leftys as I'm one of them and Rusch had two good years here. Guy pitched well for two years, and now, he's absolutely brutal.
  17. so it looks like a name change is in order for me.
  18. The ball that was hit off his elbow wasn't Dusty's fault. But I really wonder how you think overwork is tied to injuries. I used to think that fatigue itself was a problem, and all an overworked starter needed was rest. The research shows that's not true; fatigue causes a pitcher to change his mechanics, and throwing one pitch with bad mechanics can do irreperable damage. Anyway, it's entirely possible that Prior's injury history means he'll never pitch the same way again, and no amount of rest or passing time will make a difference. We can't arbitrarily say that he should be fine since it's been a few years. I definitely agree with that. I also think it's still a psychological thing also. Kerry and him are in the same boat; wondering when they are going to get hurt next so they can expect to be on the DL.
  19. He has absolutely no confidence anymore in his stuff. He lost that in 2003 after Game Six of the NLCS. He's never been the same. Or Dusty pitched his arm off. Take your pick. Could be both, but come on, not all of Prior's injuries are Dusty's fault. After 2 years of it, it's no longer Dusty's doing. For instance, this year. This becomes Mark's doing. He has absolutely no confidence; why not send him down to Triple A and see if he can be dominant down there and get some confidence back?
  20. He has absolutely no confidence anymore in his stuff. He lost that in 2003 after Game Six of the NLCS. He's never been the same.
  21. What a joke. Hendry couldn't give this guy away for the last year, and you're griping about who he got in return? I'm just happy he's gone and Dusty will play Theriot! (Or at least, he [expletive] better...) Then why in the hell won't you keep him? What's so wrong with Walker anyways? He bats almost 300 and we're going to play Perez at 2nd. Give me a break. No wonder why we're going to lose ninety games this year. Well then, isn't it time to think about and make trades for the future. Walker in the future equals nothing. Ceda will likely equal nothing as well, but might equal something. So Hendry trades nothing for a possible something and you throw a fit. Interesting. Enjoy watching Neifi play 2nd about everyday then.
