  1. This may have been posted somewhere but I just read Hawk Harrelson gushing over Lou. "If Piniella comes to Chicago this city will have the 2 best managers in baseball" :roll:
  2. Why? Geoff Blum is a valuable Left-handed hitter off the bench. He can pretty much play anywhere on the field. He has some power in his bat, and he puts the bat on the ball. I love his versatility.[/quote] I gotta draw the line here - I'm coming down NOT in favor of versatility. All it has done is cause us trouble the last 4 years :wink:
  3. I have a cousin that lives in Korea - apparently this is common practice there to name teams after businesses. http://lifeandseoul.blogspot.com/
  4. My personal favorite is the 5th 3rd Bank 5th inning. Say that 5 times fast.
  5. What kind of a lineup is that?? Neifi batting second and Polanco batting third?? Did someone slip something funny into Leylands smokes?
  6. He's not a very good 1st baseman either! :D
  7. Questionable personnel decisions - especially in terms of pitching, staters vs. relievers. Dusty-like in treating young pitcher's health (brought a rookie back into a game after an 80-minute rain delay!) Might be too Buck Showalter-like in terms of discipline. Conventional thinking on the SABR side of things (though I think we're not sure how conventional he really is). Pro-Girardi folks give him too much credit for the Marlins' relative success in 2006. All in all, I don't think we personally have enough information to be decidedly pro or anti-Girardi without allowing some bias to come in. Didn't that rookie then go on the dl? I'm not at all sure of the specifics of the incident but I swear I heard that was one of the reasons he was going to be fired??
  8. Baseball on the radio kicks ass. I most strongly agree. I sometimes think radio is actually a better medium for baseball than television. Nothing I like better than putzing around in my kitchen and listening to a ball game on the radio.
  9. Working now. :oops: See, it worked fine for me yesterday so I thought they must have just changed it. You know, give 'em a day to try it then slap the fee. I must have just signed in before they changed the page yesterday. #-o Where I got confused is the "current subscribers" link says "MLB-TV Subscribers" so I never clicked it. Oh well, it's working now. Not my team, but at least it's something to do at work. By the way, Minnesota's announcers aren't very entertaining.[/quote] Neither are Oaklands
  10. There is a spot for currrent users to click on and log in - no need to pay the extra $10. Edit - but I thought the same thing at first yesterday.
  11. What would you do if your country club rights were going to be taken away? Goony belongs to a country club? 8)
  12. Looks awful lonely over here Fred. Thanks for a great season - can you try to get us a couple more wins next year though? :wink:
  13. White Sox vs. Astro's....................oh wait, that is the WS that will be playing eternally in hell when I get there. A's or Tigers vs. Dodgers.
  14. To guote the great Dusty Baker, I fear Piniella "Big Time!"
  15. Juan Pierre, Freddie Bynum, Glendon Rusch, Neifi Perez, Tony Womack, Lenny Harris, Shawn Estes, Jose Macias, etc.
  16. They are unlistenable - I haven't listened to them in months. Although this spring I did hear Dibble say "Wrigley Stadium". Dibbles problem is that he thinks he's really bright but he's ..................well he's not bright.
  17. Do we get anything for leading the league in average to below average middle infielders??
  18. I would too but I'm afraid we are probably stuck playing the Frenchman at least through next year.
  19. I could too - especially if we could sign another big outfield bat and then platoon him with Murt. Or has been suggested I would prefer to see him rather than Pierre in CF next year.
  20. The White Sox - Astros series of last year was an abomination to me. However I have been rooting for the Astro's the last couple of days.
  21. Don't you just wish we we're scoreboard watching for more than just he fun of it. Even a mediocre team could have kept us right in it this year.
  22. Excellent are they doing a remake?? Mabry k's didn't see that coming.........come on Hank!!
