    Hasn't Noah only missed 1 game, or do you mean Rose? Noah got hurt during Game 3.

    well his knee is blown out. can a guy really pitch with a torn acl? if he undergoes surgery his season is definitely over. he'd be 43 next year. the question isn't really if he's still good enough, because he definitely is and probably could go until he's 50, but it sounded like this might be his last year. In my defense, the post above mine went up while I was typing so I didn't know he'd been diagnosed with the torn ACL. And no, there's no way you could pitch with a torn ACL. That ligament stabilizes your knee when you're making any kind of lateral movement, so he would probably fall down every time he tried to push off the rubber.

    I don't know how Cespedes 4/36 contract will end up looking in the long run, but the 3/21 contract to Josh Willingham is looking pretty good. He's at .305/.418/.598 thus far. He might not keep up that pace, but he's pretty much always been a mid .800s OPS guy and his D is pretty much on par with Sorianos. How is that relevant to the Cubs in any way?

    I have faith they'll do something interesting to sneak into that 14% of the time you don't score with the bases loaded and nobody out.

    Love the [expletive] eating grin on his face at second!

    Bottom of the 9th with a chance to win and a reasonably fast runner? I've seen a lot worse sends than that. Castro and LaHair coming up makes it worse, but not a terrible send IMO.

    Chris Davis just got the win for Baltimore against Boston. 0 for 7 with 6 Ks and 2 IP with 0 runs allowed.

    If he was so great he would have helped himself out. It's just frustrating that guys in front of him and behind him aren't doing much of anything. Soriano cannot move him over at the least. There's a K :( If he was so great he would have to rely on other guys to move him over, much less drive him home. What I'm saying is that he's a bum. LaHair is a big fat bum unless he hits a home run every time he comes to the plate. I hope you don't poop in his spot in the dugout too.

    LaHair laughs in the face of BABIP.

    Volstad to pen, Lendy to Iowa, Cardenas up He can't go to Iowa without trading for him.

    I don't. Wood will be fine. You're losing credibility fast with me, buddy. You better get it turned around!
  12. mul21
    I kinda wish we still had Marshall instead of bad Marmol, Wood, and a 4th outfielder.
  13. mul21
    My thought was "Damn, Pena would have picked that easily".
  14. mul21
    YES! Fantastic!

    Turning point of the season. :-$ I don't think that works unless you kick your hat around the diamond! :D

    He's not due up until 7th unless the Dodgers get to cheat.

    MLB Network had video from YES and it looked ugly. He was reaching up for a fly ball and got off balance. When his right foot hit the ground, the knee buckled and he went down. He was writhing in pain and then got carried to the golf cart they hauled him off on. I'll be surprised if he's not out for a while with some sort of surgery based on how awkwardly he went down.
  18. mul21
    You won't be able to either after we find you! :twisted:
  19. mul21
    The only thing more painful than him doing a game at all is when he and Buck are tonguing the Cardinals junk when they do one of their games together.
  20. mul21
    Especially with a quality arm throwing home. He's just so damn fast!
  21. mul21
    I don't think he's a long term solution to anything really, but how many of these guys that have ended up as busts put together consistently good late inning at bats like LaHair has been? The AB against Motte where he fouled off 6 straight pitches gives me hope that his approach has advanced enough that even when the peripherals normalize a bit, he'll still be reasonably productive. And by reasonably productive, I'm talking .850ish OPS.
  22. mul21
    Yeah, I had a 90% labral tear and while I certainly didn't have Dr. Andrews doing the surgery, I had a really good doc and my shoulder is screwed and has been for 15 years. You lose so much flexibility because of the way they have to put everything back together that it's really pretty tough to regain the velocity you had pre-surgery. Sucks for them that they gave up the bat they did to get him. That may end up being a complete swindle by the Mariners, not that they did anything shady.

    This was made all the sweeter by my neighbor the Cards fan texting me after the Holliday homer to talk trash. Still haven't heard anything from him after the game winner. Also, that Geo/LaHair thing looks like some kind of baseball porn. It's awesome and really weird at the same time.
  24. mul21
    Didn't that story come out like three years ago? He lives in Appalachia and got hit in the head with a gun. Cut the guy some slack!
  25. mul21
    Yes. Hint: He is also known for kicking a football.
