  1. Rasin is about as good as it gets around here.
  2. Tough matchup here for me. Vance and I are opposed on many issues: - I don't care about autographs - Hooters is lame. The wings are crappy and the girls are skanky and unattractive.
  3. Yeah, I feel that these things can be kind of arbitrary. Is this really arbitrary? Only 5 players have hit 600 or more HR's. Only 5 players had hit more than 599 before last night. I get that we like to keep track of things by tens but it really had no signifigance to me. If he passes Mays at 660, I think that's signifigant. Gotcha. Baseball is full of "records" like this. Throughout the world we look at things by then tens as being more impressive. I still think it's pretty cool. Who knows, 660 could be in reach. Sammy hasn't been great this year, but he's a lot better than some of the scrubs you see other teams marching out there. He could probably play a couple more years, if he wants to.

  5. I saw the lineup, watched the first inning, and basically chalked it up as a loss. Boring baseball watching the bottom 2/3rds of that lineup. I couldn't even watch it and I'm a Cubs fan.
  6. Yeah, I feel that these things can be kind of arbitrary.
  7. That lineup was brutal last night. We better get used to it. The lineup will look a lot better starting on Friday. Aram coming back on Friday? I missed this. You have made me very happy, my friend.
  8. That lineup was brutal last night. We better get used to it.
  9. How can that be? Pitching to Barrett will spike your ERA around 10 points due to all the past balls and poor game calling.
  10. Is that before the year or now? Before the year... but still, it's a pretty stark difference. Where's the "game calling" bar? That's what I thought.
  11. Thank you. I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. you aren't
  12. I was thinking the same thing. It's the new sample size. I don't think you can all hyperbole the word of choice in this thread because of sample size. This thread is a lock to go another 10 pages.
  13. Because he blamed Barrett in the past. Oh wait...He didn't. He did start a fist fight with Barrett in the dugout. Do you think that was just a heated exchange over differing turkey stuffing recipes?
  14. The bottom of our lineup is going to be horrid. I'm surprised there isn't more support for Izturis around here judging by how much people seem to value defense. it's because he's not really that good at defense Defense: The subjective metric.
  15. From that picture, it looks like he could put on 20 pounds.
  16. The bottom of our lineup is going to be horrid. I'm surprised there isn't more support for Izturis around here judging by how much people seem to value defense.
  17. I hope we see a lot more of Izturis with our new dedication to defense.
  18. Oh, jesus. I should just leave this thread before I end up spending half my day here. Come on...you wanna argue CERA...you know you do...give in to the dark side... Besides, you know you're gonna be here all day anyway.... No way man. I took the day off and am going to the planetarium with a bunch of fine ladies. 8-) you're with some fine ladies and your big idea was the PLANETARIUM? Dear God man, I have game.

  21. I agree for the most part, but am I the only one who thinks it appears that Bowen has some offensive upside? He's been productive at appropriate ages for his level a few years. I don't know about him long-term, but I think he can be at least adequate at catcher if not a little better. He doesn't seem like a black hole, I'll say that. Hopefully he can continue to have a productive season as his playing time increases.
