  1. What? the poster in question is a friend of mine who has played professional baseball and definately has a great knowledge of the behind the scenes stuff. If he was booted for what he wrote in this thread I am really scratching my head. It would be a real shame to lose a poster that played professional baseball and has a great knowledge of the behind the scenes stuff and therefore was able to provide brilliant contributions such as an eye roll icon with no other comment to a perfectly valid post. I only wish I had enough experience to provide that kind of insight! yes because many here don't find Nomar to be overrated. I know I do. What has the guy done for us? Nothing he has done in the NL constitutes more than an eye roll as a response to him being the guy who would have started the all star game.
  2. i hope not. lee has been hurt, I am sure one of those guys could play a few innings over there.

  4. Its good to see we kicked off a poster that was much closer to big league baseball than any of us here because he was a cardinals fan. I really don't get what DeePujols said to get him banned. I am a cubs fan and don't think we can say for sure that Nomar should have been at the all star game. He was hitting .180. He also admitted Felipe Lopez should be the starter. :roll:
  5. Plus the Nationals lost. I think they're going to fall off fast and the Braves will take the East again. Then it's up to us to catch the Marlins and Nationals/Phillies/Mets for the Wild Card. Houston won't hang. I agree with everything but about Houston. I think they will again make the big move and acquire Dunn.
  6. He got lucky. :wink: Just like two years ago against Houston when Z bailed him out with a huge homer.
  7. I would rather Josie Moran was running the team. At least she would be a reason to watch.
  8. nice ab todd matt couldn't have done that. this is why we stink. let the rookie bat you peice of crap.
  9. won't happen as we have Neifi leading off the inning. WIll we designate him for assignment here in a week when he is hitting .230? Or do we just do that to the young guys? Ok,I know I was wrong about Corey. but I can GUARANTEE you that Neifi is out of options. good all the more reason to do it. like anyone is going to pick him up anyway.

  11. we should just save the time and forefeit. I don't think Prior throwing a no hitter would win this game, it would just guarantee extra innings.
  12. what smoltz has some weird pictures of Dusty naked and used them to force Dusty to put out Aramis Ramirez, Todd Walker, and a crappy AAA team? This is what 100 million will buy you. :oops:
  13. Oh you mean the Oswalt who was the big tough guy when three guys were standing in between him and Barrett? Nah I don't think I will be voting for him. If I ever see him outside or the park though I promise I will punch him in the mouth.
  14. none of the cardinals starters should be there. the outfield should be abreu in center and Carlos and Miguel on the corners. Felipe Lopez should be at SS. Aram or Morgan Ensberg should be at 3B. What a farce. Are you referring to Carlos Beltran? He has been pretty average this year. If you're keeping guys at their positions, the OF should be Cabrera, Andruw Jones and Abreu; if you're playing guys out of position then put Jason Bay or Abreu in CF. I don't have as much of an issue with Edmonds starting because he has at least been good this year and hasn't been much worse than Andruw Jones. Rolen is not even close to ARam, David Wright or Ensberg (the latter two got left off) and Eckstein is way, way behind Felipe Lopez. Even Bill Hall deserved to make it ahead of Eckstein. Cesar Izturis doesn't belong on the team, either. I'm assuming by Carlos he is talking about the one playing in the far north Chicago suburbs. yes carlos lee should be starting. Carlos Beltran should be a cub.

  16. you have got to be kidding me. why cant we get out other teams catchers?
  17. well as much as I hate Dusty I love the fact that our guys won't quit.
  18. I know I would walk him to get to a guy that is hitting 150something.have you not been watching all year? those are the guys who kill us.
  19. it seems like we have so many games that should be then the offense goes back into hybernation.
  20. so this is why they make those bracelets. come on lets end this thing right here neifi.
  21. tomorrow's headline: PATTERSON WOULD LIKE TO PLAY 2B He should, if todd is so unprofessional to take a cheap shot at a struggling teammate saying you can't steal first Corey should say fielding is part of baseball.
  22. thank you todd walker for your inability to field a ground ball right at you, hopefully Corey comments about it in the paper.
  23. glad we got rid of barrett to try and steal off of schneider. :roll: More brilliant managing. God someone please hire John Kruk to manage. :lol:
