    http://www.baseball-reference.com/h/hamiljo03.shtml Still, pitching has always been the problem for them. I guess they didnt know hed get that good. Hopfully, today is the begining of his downfall and it wont matter. Can you imagine if their rotation consisted of: C. Young Volquez Danks Milwood Obviously their numbers wouldn't have looked as good in that park, but still. Young is great in the cow pasture that the Pads play in, but his flyball tendency makes me think he probably would only be a serviceable 5th guy pitching in Arlington 1/2 his starts.

    Other than that Cedeno punk who's only hitting .380 ish, no. Do I really have to put every last ounce of sarcasm in green font? Well, it is a game thread where everybody tends to be overly emotional, so maybe. I wasn't sure if you were serious or not. Lay it on a little thicker, man. :mrgreen:

    Yeah, this. And seriously, how many people go to the draft? It can't be that many, it's at Radio City Music Hall. I can't magine there's more than a couple thousand in there. And also, it definitely shouldn't be in a city that DOESN'T HAVE A FREAKIN' TEAM BECAUSE NOBODY GOES TO THE GAMES.

    Homan is gone from IU and I've also heard that DeAndre "The Giant" Thomas is gone as well. I think that drops them to 3 scholarship players with one of them being a former walk on.

    I've never tried that. Have you had any success doing it? Done it a few times. Works good because you usually end up sitting in the visiting team's comp tickets they give back. Mostly sections 155 and 156 but way towards the back. Not the greatest seats: but for $11 a pair they kick ass. What time would you need to be down there to get a shot at a couple of seats?

    Bold prediction: St Louis signs him and finds their next Edmonds, without the three-steps-in-the-wrong-direction-followed-by-spectacular-looking-diving-catches-on-routine-flys that the Cards fans used to love. While I'm normally on board with Cards predictions like this, they already have 14 overperforming OF on their roster.

    That's just a silly question. Of course it'll be the Cards, he'll take over for Izzy next year and go on to save 300 games as a Cardinal with an ERA around 2.

    What I don't get is why the Bears are not considered "contenders" and yet Minnesota is? Both should have outstanding Defenses (if anybody remembers, the Bears have the CORE OF THEIR DEFENSE back again. Even tho they struggled under Babich the 1st yr, I expect major improvement in yr 2.). Both have questionable offense. Minnesota has basically a RB, and nothing else. Berrian won't be effective, as long as Jackson can't complete a pass over 10 yrds. Even tho he isn't great, but I take my chances on Grossman and his recievers over Jackson and his recievers. There is not one team in the NFC North, I fear. In fact, my bold predeiction will be...the Bears winning the division by two games. This is not true. The biggest difference between the 2 teams is that Minnesota has a good, solid, proven O-line, something that remains a big question mark for the Bears. They will be able to run the ball and just hope Jackson can be "good enough" to get them some wins.

    My only hope for this series is that the Cards continue their Cub-like suckage against lefties. Outside of that, I expect many losses this weekend simply because I'm going to 2 of the games.

    I've got loge boxes for Friday and bleachers for Sunday. Hopefully I'll get to see at least one win with OPR and Marqueef going those days. Not that Lilly is much better right now.

    Feel free to look up the definitions of "part-time" and "mostly." My post was perfectly accurate. Eh, I think he's got you there. Part time to me sounds more like he played SS 1/4-1/3 of the time, not almost half. But your point about arm strength is dead on and he should never be at SS over Ronny when they're in ther together.

    I think Yost not taking out Gallardo is more of a product of not going to the pen, TOO EARLY, instead of taking Gallardo out too early. One way or the other, I believe the 6th will be Gallardo's last innings. And here's to the Brewers bringing Turnbow in.......... Yost. That and no one was warming up so some halfway cold pitcher after warmup pitches was going to have to just run out there. If there's an injury, the guy coming in gets as much time as he wants to warm up.

    It actually was pretty good, but then he went and ruined it by doing a horrendous Harry caray impression. The Scully was really good though. More good Brewers defense.

    Actually, I saw a reliable report that in his AA start last week he was touching 90 on a few pitches. But I do enjoy seeing him get rocked by a AAA team.

    He looked a like he had a little Corey Patterson reaction to that K. Unfortunate he's been screwed around the way he has. I think he could still be a good player, especially for a team that has a guy like Jeff Kent in the middle infield to make up for the lack of power.

    Pie doesn't have a hit tonight, but you can just tell he's seeing pitches better and has a much better approach than 2 weeks ago. And there's a walk.
  18. mul21
    It's really not as bad as it sounds. They used to play a few less games in April and 17 wins out of 26 games is a pretty high win %.
  19. mul21
    Ronny is now hitting in the bottom of the 6th, so it must not have been anything bad. It's still 12-3.

    My wife is 8 months pregnant and a Cardinals fan. I'm lucky I'm watching the game at all and posting on here at the same time. She demanded to see who was getting kicked off so I switched momentarily and then went back to the game. And I posted about baseball when it was mentioned, so nyah. :mrgreen:

    For anyone who cares, Brooke just got the axe on AI. Stupid Dempster walking guys.

    DeRo!!! And Sup is done. We get the pen for more than 4 full innings tonight. Let the bloodbath continue. Who's going for us tomorrow?

    That was awesome. IMB is, in fact, en fuego this evening.

    Haha-you went to UW-Zero. Sorry, I had to. When were you there, I know some folks who went to school there.
