  1. Soriano is incapable of hitting an offspeed pitch. Why anyone ever throws him a fastball is beyond me.
  2. I think we need to do better than that. I'm expecting Milwaukee to win 5 out of their last 6. We would goto a 1 game playoff then True, but limping into a 1 game playoff isn't my idea of finishing off the regular season!
  3. Not to worry folks, Craig Monroe is in the lineup tonight.
  4. I think we need to do better than that. I'm expecting Milwaukee to win 5 out of their last 6.
  5. That wouldn't be surprising considering that our corner outfielders have below average range and our Center Fielder is nothing spectacular.
  6. What was with the Silverchair song? It really didn't seem to fit a highlight video.
  7. Here comes Neifi's 3rd suspension.
  8. You clearly are accusing him of lots of things, none of which with any sort of proof besides the braindead ramblings of Stone. If all Stoney said was he'd like to be on that workout program, then I think some are making a little more out of it than it really is. It's not like he actually mentioned PEDs. He was doing what he does, coming up with snide sarcastic comments to entertain the audience. That said, I agree that since Stoney has been doing these radio sessions he's become more apt to make stupid little comments like that, and it does hurt his credibility. I didn't hear Steve Stone's interview this morning, but yesterday afternoon on Boers & Bernstein he hinted strongly that Soto had used performance enhancing drugs. He never specifically mentioned drugs, or any workout program for that matter, but it was heavily implied. His argument was based on a pure comparison of numbers from year to year and how 2007 is completely out of line with his past history. Stone had absolutely no proof of anything and I truly hope that Soto's emergence came about naturally, but I can hardly criticize anyone for being suspicious.
  9. 1) Wood 2) Pie 3) Theriot 4) DeRosa 5) Ramirez
  10. I noticed... kind of unusual for a national broadcaster.
  11. There's no need for a 12th pitcher, but I figured Cedeno would be more useful as a backup middle infielder... I guess it could go either way
  12. That's going to be an interesting series. I don't want to match up with San Diego in the first round, so hopefully the Cubs can lock up 1st place and then we can turn around and root for Milwaukee.
  13. It is when your best player is selfish, injury-prone, and has a huge salary that doesn't give the team flexibility to sign other players.
  14. We didn't really give up anything for him though. He took a chance, and it didn't work out. Big deal. You guys think he'll be on the playoff roster? I sure hope not. We need Pie on the roster for his late inning defense, so if it comes down to Monroe vs. Murton for our right handed outfielder the choice better be Murton.
  15. as long as they don't reintroduce the blue alternates next year, i'll be happy I loved those! I know I'm in the minority but I wouldn't be sad to see those come back at all. I'm fine with them as long as they're only on designated days, rather than pitcher's choice that ended up being more often than not.
  16. Am I the only one who doesn't understand when people refer to the team as the "COBS"? Is that supposed to have some type of negative connotation?
  17. Astros tie the game 2-2, runners 1st and 3rd.
  18. Brenly loves Theriot... great hustle play though.
  19. Straight ball I hit very much. Curve ball, bats are afraid.
  20. It was a good throw, but I think Jacque could have even got him on that one... ok ok maybe that's stretching it.
