  1. What?! Florida? I don't remember that happening. :lol:
  2. Good to see the guys fighting back against a good pitcher. I really wish Jones would have took that walk in the 2nd when Penny was trying his hardest to walk him.
  3. Huh? What happens to every piece of crap the cardinals pick up?
  4. So far they've played the Marlins, Nationals, Giants, D-Backs, and Brewers. I wouldn't put too much stock in their quick start. I know, but dear lord they should be the 4th best team in our division. I would be willing to bet they get 2nd. I hope I am wrong though.
  5. The Astros keep losing good players and getting better. Nextyear they should cut Oswalt and Berkman and then win every game.
  6. Considering I had a row five seat and got numerous autos, I feel pretty good about the exchange thus far. Nice deal indeed. Dontrelle is very cool. We paid $35 to get his auto at a show here in KC. They tried saying he couldn't take pics or personalize without us paying more, but he said the heck with that and let us take pics. He also told me he liked my Cubs shirt.
  7. Maddux pitches to the conditions. The game vs the Reds at Wrigley the wind was howling out and he was still awesome. So saying he has pitched under good conditions is just wrong. How so? The Cinci game was his worst of the year. How so what? Saying the Cinci game was his worse start of the year, when he has an era of 1.33, doesnt make much since. Maddux hasnt had a "worse start" cause all of them have been awesome to start the year. Just think if he would have cared enough in '04 to work out before the year. Two more wins we make the playoffs. I am glad he is doing well, but I hate he is only doing it in his contract year.
  8. When is he going to start getting the Bonds treatment? Whywould you ever pitch to him in that situation? I wonder if the Reds even wanted to win that game.
  9. Man I hope not the rest of the division isn't as bad as it was in 03 so I don't think that will get it done. If he tanks he needs to be out.
  10. Is the most recent update still that he will have another simulated game and then a minor league start or two, bring ing hm back April 30 or first week of may? Right now that appears to be the plan. If that happens and he stays healthy that would be awesome.
  11. Why didn't Dusty pull Marshall after 9 to give him some momentum to build on?
  12. Thats why it was pretty important for Z to get us a win today.
  13. What is going on with Z? Just typical of all the WBC pitchers?
  14. Seriously Kearns and Dunn don't play worth a damn vs. anyone but us.
  15. Dunn is a peice if crap. I am sure he can start his beeline towards .235 once they are done playing us. :roll:
  16. Gold Gloves are based on reputation. Furcal, Wilson, Rollins, and probably some others will get consideration before Cedeno is even thought of. Edgar Renteria is back in our league now.
  17. Only 2 of those you listed had more Win Shares than Barrett last year. Fine he is great, but shouldn't a big league catcher be a little better at catching the ball? Piazza never was. And when Barrett hits .330 with 40 homers then we can talk. Once he quit doing that he was a hack.

  19. How much less money does Freel make than Neifi Perez? Not a fair comparison since Freel isn't even arbitration eligible yet, but Freel signed a 2 year deal for 3 mil(1.3/1.7) compared to Neifi's 2 year deal for 5 mil. Yeah but, wouldn't it be nice to get a guy with his ability to draw walks as a bench player?
