    I'm glad I'm not the only one. I thought it was some stupid Kyle-ism for something.

    No, they're not. I have PF. Some days it hurts when I've done very little to no running for the couple days prior. Some days I don't even notice it after having run 20-25 miles in the previous couple of days. It's a weird ass injury that's very unpredictable and the most you can do is try to prevent it from flaring up, sometimes successfully, sometimes not.

    Interesting. They've all regressed a bit but are still well above career averages. Maybe Bosio knows what he's doing. I read this and was like who the eff is he talking about?

    The way I read it, they're trying to develop the entire area to eventually make it into a place to go for the casino. I imagine the proposed hotels and having a building you could have concerts/shows in would play into that. So no, not directly, but having a multi-use building right there would certainly help.

    I recall this being a thing for Shark in the minors. Is this still true and is Wood another big contributor to this number? Russell and Camp have insane percentages, although obviously their sample is smaller. Feldman, Shark, and Wood are all above 15%. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=0&type=2&season=2013&month=0&season1=2013&ind=0&team=17&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&sort=7,d Huh, even stranger is that all three of Feldman, Shark, and Wood are 6-7% above their career GB% rates.

    Is this saying that the city will own the casino? That seems like a really, really bad idea. If it's in conjunction with the DePaul deal, then it makes a lot more sense for them to kick in money for that, not exactly fair to the Cubs, but makes more sense.

    If that qualifies as a rough outing, I'd like to see a few more of our pitching prospects have rough outings on a regular basis. Rough by his standards, I should say. I knew what you meant, it was more hoping the rest of our pitching prospects would suck a little less. That isn't as good as he's been but you hit the nail on the head with the peripherals. Nothing wrong with those at all.

    I can only assume these will go away with the next TV deal right?

    I'm surprised by the timeline a bit, but those things can be nasty and tough to get rid of because everything you do basketball wise puts a strain on the calf muscles. The sprinting, jumping, sharp cuts, if you're not 100%, you're pretty likely to re-injure it if you come back too soon.
  13. mul21
    Oh come on, you've been around here long enough to know how badly this post is going to be destroyed, so why even bother?

    Is there anyone they need to keep LF open for (assuming Soriano is moved before 2014)? No, and I'm not intimating that they shouldn't go after Choo for that reason. It's an important consideration though, especially since the original comparison was Choo v. Ellsbury. That was my feeling as well. Having seen how tough of a time he's had in CF this year, I want no part of that. If you move Soriano and can stick him there, great, especially if BJax can figure it out. If you need a CF though, I'm not interested in putting Choo out there in Wrigley.

    What's the story on Beeler? I see he did really well up through A+ but the K and BB rates took a hit once he got to AA and he's spending his 3rd season there. Any reason for optimism with him? Potential pen arm?
  16. mul21
    When Garza comes back and assuming Villlanueva gets moved to the pen, that's another nice option. For me, that's honestly the best part of Garza coming back. The pen has been so terrible that having another reliable arm down there to go to could end up as a huge boost to the team in general. Plus, it'll keep Sveum from running the same guys out there everyday quite as much as he's had to when they have a lead.

    Okay, guys, you won 4 times last week and it was fun. Please repeat.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the "[expletive] yeah" walking off the tee box at 18 from Tiger. He's baaaaaaaaack!

    This And if he's playing well I'd rather not see his routine interrupted by the monsoon season down there either.
  20. mul21
    I'm guessing there's not much hope for him since after putting up solid numbers last year he's now in his 2nd year at Daytona and is a no power LF. Combined with the fact that he'll be 23 in a month, you would think he'd be in Tennessee if the organization thought he was a worthwhile prospect.

    So Scott Kazmir is pitching for the Indians and threw 6 innings of 1 run ball tonight?
  22. mul21
    Only Kyle is allowed to use that many cat anuses (anusi?) consecutively.
  23. mul21
    Seems about right.

    I think it would be worthwhile, especially considering the scarcity of high quality offensive 3B anywhere in MLB right now. I fear that may drive his price beyond a reasonable one to pay for where the Cubs are at this point. I think this also would depend on whether or not you think Watkins or Valbuena can fill the gap at 2B for a few years until you have a better option. Is Garza going to be back? Will resources have to be used to get another front line starter if he's not? There's so many unknowns, from Vizcaino being capable of starting to what will the fates of Villanueva, Feldman, and Baker be. I wouldn't have an issue giving him a deal for his age 30-34 seasons if he was acquired as Soriano will be off the books soon and revenue should be up significantly by the end of that deal so even if he's not producing as well it won't cripple you.

    Not that I'm even close to the only one, but I kind of expected this tonight. Bulls coming down from the adrenaline rush of winning Game 7 and Game 1, Heat fired up after the loss, Bulls still short handed. Not much of a surprise really.
