Geoff Jenkins swinging at Marmol's first pitch. Good job, Geoff.
-
I plan to finance my Cubs ticket purchases next year (if I buy any tickets next year) by buying and reselling playoff tickets this year. I figure I'll make more money if Cincinnati makes the playoffs, so I'm rooting for the Reds.

Brewers announcers point out that Corey Patterson has more bunt singles than Pierre this year.
-
Only if you're a Cubs fan.
-
Brewers announce team saying Murton should play more, but he needs to produce in order to get more playing time.
-
Hendry needs to acquire players who perform well in May and June. For example, looking at Izturis's three year splits, he does OK in May, but he's terrible in June. I hope part of Hendry's master plan is finding someone to play shortstop for the month of June next year.

It was a metaphor.
-
A bold claim, le tigre.
-
Nice catch by Gross.
-
Hate to tell you this, but Hendry loves Bill Hall, just loves him, in an Austin Kearns kind of way. Like, not only does he want them to play for his team, but he wants to live vicariously through him?
-
He doesn't catch the ball well enough to start for the Cubs.

I'm with you on the over-excitement. They sound like they should be hawking products on the Home Shopping Network. I must admit, I am not familiar with the Reds' team or the Braves' team as their games are blacked out for my area.

mmmmmmmmmmmm.........thats tough.......ok-done. He just upped his trade value. We should ask for Mench, too.
-
We need someone to light a fire under us. We lack an emotional leader.

Sweet. I have MLB.TV, so I've listened to a lot of teams' broadcasters, and I'd say Milwaukee's are in contention for the worst. I swear they just make up stuff. maybe they'll trade us Fielder, Hall and Capuano for him :D We might have to throw in Izturis, whom they are gushing over.

Milwaukee announcers say Barrett is a "great all-around player...very good defensively." No, he's not.
-
A lot of Jacque's home runs this year haven't looked good (to me) off his bat. Strange.
-
Too bad Aramis isn't clutch and didn't put the team on his back when DLee was out the first time.
-
Murton is hitting in front of Mabry? I can't believe my eyes.

It's a little better than a 1 in 1000 chance. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/statistics/ps_oddspec.php I'd buy a lottery ticket if I had a 1 in 1000 chance, but I wouldn't plan on seeing baseball on the north side in October. I would bet a lot of money that there will be baseball on the north side in October. I still wouldn't plan on seeing that game. :D

Not to be argumentative, but 26 is no spring chicken. You expect a little improvement from 26 to 30, but by the time a player is 26, you usually know what you have. PECOTA projects Izturis will have his best year in 2009, when he is 29 years old: .272/.318/.356. And we can't just ignore his injury history. He had several setbacks before rejoining the Dodgers this year (he was expected back in May), and many baseball people thought the Dodgers should be playing him at 2nd to protect his arm. There's no guarantee that he'll be what he was before the injury, which wasn't worth trading for in the first place. There's just not a whole lot to like about this deal.
