    I really think their biggest worry is going to be keeping Carpenter and Wainwright around when their deals are up. I have no idea when that is, but I'm fairly certain Wainwright is FA eligible after 2010 or 2011 and Carp's deal has to be up around the same time. You can have all the offense you want, but if the other team scores 6 runs a game you're screwed. And I don't think they've got anything worth getting excited about in terms of starters anywhere close to the majors. Of course if Duncan stays, all they need is a couple of guys like Daniel Cabrera and Jeff Weaver to show up and they'll have two cheap Cy Young candidates.

    Sosa had several years in the teens. I dont ever remember him dropping a ball though. I also never remember him making a good accurate throw. I don't think that's fair, really. I remember a few times Sammy nailed a runner at the plate. He did have a very good arm, and when it was accurate, it was deadly. Sammy wasn't the best outfielder I've ever seen, but he certainly wasn't a liability out there. exactly, he had a pretty good arm. It wasn't always accurate; but it's not like he was Jacque Jones out there, either. He had a good arm until he started hitting 60+ homers and then his arm was crap on top of the fact he had no idea where it was going. He was a very solid outfielder until probably about 98 or 99 when the glove was still good but the throwing wasn't.

    Wow, terrible argument for running by HCCF. I ran XC and track in high school and still run quite a bit today. The reason people don't run is because they're a bunch of lazy fat-asses or they prefer to be doing something while they're running. Like shooting a basketball or catching a football. I always loved running, but it certainly isn't something everybody can do well or even enjoy. It's not about whose tougher or crazier or anything. Different strokes for different folks.

    They make me extra sad when I'm in town and they have an off day. I was planning on going to the game last night but they unfortunately didn't have a game scheduled. The trip to Big Al's however, did not disappoint.

    Perhaps, but its still garbage. Have you ever walked on it? It's pretty incredible stuff. I'm sure there will always be cold weather cities with grass fields, but I'm not surprised that increasingly cold weather cities with open air stadiums are converting to Fieldturf. It feels so much like grass but doesn't get completely ripped up with bad weather like grass tends to do. In a few years I would expect there to be only about 2-3 teams left with grass in the northern half of the country. Yeah, I've walked on it. It's junk compared to grass. Doesn't make me think of the word "incredible" in the least. I've played sports on both and field turf is light years ahead of astro turf. My body felt beat up after soccer games on astroturf when I was 145 lbs and in awesome shape. My body felt less beat up after playing soccer on field turf 30 lbs. heavier and in not nearly the same shape. Not even close.

    The NCAA is such a joke. http://deadspin.com/5337468/southeast-missouri-state-feels-the-ncaas-sting

    I was actually thinking along the line of Edmonds with less patience. It sounds to me like he can develop that 25-30 HR power and play a real solid CF.

    I would take the salty thing to mean they'll be sporting a bit of an attitude. And I'm guessing it won't be pleasant for the other team in Lovie's eyes.

    He screwed a chick and paid for her abortion. Let's add the interesting details. He screwed a chick (who ended up marrying one of his basketball assistants) in a restaurant after it was closed while his executive assistant slept in one of the booths and apparently heard at least part of what was going on. Then, she called him several weeks later to let him know she was pregnant and it had to be his so he gave her $3000 to get an abortion after telling her that she would have to get DNA testing done if she wanted him to support the kid if she kept it. Then she accused him of raping her in the restaurant and later when they met about her being pregnant, and at the meeting the assistant she ended up marrying was there and according to her story didn't help when she screamed because Pitino was raping her. I think she's believable, what about you?

    So you have no romantic interest in the game is what you're saying?

    Looks like Carlos found the arm slot tonight.

    Never been there but I see the signs for it all the time. Actually, used to see them since I-64 is shut down right now.

    Poor bastard. Where you living?
  16. mul21
    I wouldn't. Agreed. Too much will be unknown after the surgery he's going to have to have after the season. Not to mention the fact that he hasn't been very good this year outside of the power numbers.

    I'd imagine they just send Marshall to the rotation and call Stevens back up for the pen. I can't imagine the back will keep Z out more than one more start after this. Maybe piggyback Marshall and Heilman?

    Ascanio just made Pujols look really, really, really really bad on a slider. He's throwing some filth up there right now.
  19. mul21
    :wave: He does that on purpose on a regular basis.

    Plenty thought the same last year about the Cubs The Phillies aren't the Cubs. Meaning? Meaning just that. Is it enjoyable to be Debbie Downer 100% of the time?

    Sheffield just singled and then proceeded to walk off the field injured. Man, they are just decimated at this point. If the manage to give this one away, it'll be even worse than last night's giveaway.

    Just awesome. http://www.kmov.com/localnews/stories/090804-women-charged-assualt-busch-wheelchair.ab8bc258.html?npc

    Like I said, I saw the spike mark on his left shin. I don't think it's anything more than that so it's probably just a bruise/cut.
  24. mul21
    Looks like he got spiked in the left shin and it drew blood. Doesn't look like anything serious unfortunately. Maybe it'll get infected?
  25. mul21
    That was absolutely destroyed. It's a poke to hit it out there over that wall in CF.
