    Maybe Samardzija can start in CF. Will sharkfan be happy with the Cubs then?

    Has Kyler Burke done anything of note yet so far? I've been trying to look at the results from the game threads but haven't seen him play much. Any reason for that?

    Uh, yeah, Towles was at least a foot, maybe two, in front of the plate and Pujols had to go well out of his way to get to him. And way to completely miss the point. Rose's hit on the catcher in that all star game was totally clean and he hit him in the chest, he didn't go for his ankles.

    well done, let's go get a couple in Philly

    He's hit the ball pretty well tonight, just right at people. and he still drew a walk. If this is a bad game from Fukudome, I'll take it. So who is the player of the game, Geo or Liebs? I think you have to throw Fontenot in there as a candidate as well, but I vote for Lieber. He SAVED US tonight. :mrgreen:

    Less than 2 minutes til a new Scrubs!! Woo-hoo!! And damn that free credit report commercial. Ugh.
  7. mul21
    He may just be spent. He's almost 40 and isn't used to throwing that many pitches right now.
  8. mul21
    Quick question: If Howry finishes the game, does he get a save since the tying run is in the on-deck circle?

    So we're not going to get into the douchebaggery of Pujols going after Towles ankles? I didn't have a problem with Pujols trying to make a point, but don't go after a guys knees or ankles, it's just dirty and uncalled for.

    I just heard this. WTH is that all about? Do they have nothing left after the Lopez twins are gone?
  11. mul21
    what's that mean? I don't speak Mexican Spanish perhaps, Bob? Racist!! :wink: It means "Sit down, you ugly beeyotches"

    Are you saying that there's some mechanical thing he teaches that puts undue stress on a pitcher's arm? Curious because that's something I don't know much about. Edit: Don't know if they apply to this or not, but Dave Stewart and Eckersley (sp?) were both good for extended periods under Duncan, I think.

    i've talked to DirecTV about it and they say it's 100% on MLB, and they (DTV) are just following the rules given to them I did the same thing and got the same answer. The agent I talked to agreed to forward the complaint, but I doubt that will actually happen. I live in KY so the Reds are the only team affected by the blackouts (except the Saturday Fox stuff) and I don't give a crap about watching them anyway. The way it works for Reds fans is VERY stupid, however. The local FSN in Cincy doesn't carry all of the Reds games. As far as I know several of their games go un-televised in their local market. I looked at their schedule a while back and I think I counted five games this month that weren't scheduled to be shown in Cincy. So, MLB could market EI to Reds fans (and other small market fans as well I am sure) as a way to see all of their team's games since all of them are carried by the other team's TV network. Of course, they choose to black the games out instead. Makes absolutely no sense, IMO. i believe FSN-Pittsburgh only showed 110 Pirates games last year, meaning 52 couldn't be seen by anyone, EI or not Wouldn't you be able to see them on the other teams broadcast on EI? In that case, would the EI games be blacked out in Pittsburgh even though it wasn't being broadcast locally?

    So it looks like Dusty has been threatened by Reds management that if Cueto throws more than 100 pitches, he doesn't get to talk about fishing when answering questions any more. Amazingly, that's 2 straight games, this one a close game, where he pulled him before he got to 100.

    So it appears Dempster has some issues against lefties?
  16. mul21
    On top of what Mojo said, Pie has shown that he needs a month or longer at each level he's gone to to figure it out and start hitting well. If you don't play him regularly now, it ends up being a self fulfilling prophecy that he won't succeed because he hasn't been given the opportunity he needs to do so. You end up potentially mortgaging the future for some small short term gains.

    Any idea why he left NO after just 1 year as HC? Seems odd to me that you would go to an asst. job after being a head coach for only a year and be considered a viable candidate for a pretty good job in a big time conference.

    That worked out pretty well for the Cards today too with all those runs they scored. What's that? They didn't score until the 9th when you could literally see the pee running down Valverde's leg? Color me shocked.
  19. mul21
    Brilliant!!! That really made me laugh pretty hard.
  20. mul21
    Decent, perhaps. The major obstacle to that at this point is that he's likely 9th in the pecking order for a starter this year, behind the current rotation and Lieber, Marshall and Gallagher. Basically, I don't see it happening this year, barring some huge transactions involving 3 of the guys above him. I say we send Marshall, Marquis, and Murton to Oakland for Harden.
  21. mul21
    Can we just agree that Theriot more than likely wouldn't have gotten to the ball, Cedeno should have put it in his pocket, and it's debatable which one of them is the worse hitter?
  22. mul21
    I know, I'm almost completely satisfied with every starting position player on this team. Cept CF and SS...and sometimes LF I really hope you meant LF.

    Yahoo is working pretty well. It is updating right about with the MLB audio of WGN.

    http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AiY3JjKi7lpDYaTtKEty4jwRvLYF?slug=jp-blackouts040608&prov=yhoo&type=lgns Sounds like Bob Sanders may actually get to watch a few games now if he gets the EI package.
