  1. I got a 3 year subscription to the magazine on ebay for $4, so I get that inside scoop on the site for free. both are pretty worthless
  2. crap, the Cards are less than 10 games back again
  3. is round a shape?
  4. this is brutal -- the Brewers announcers are the most annoying duo in baseball, the Cardinals team is the most boring
  5. great, I looked...
  6. 1. based on performance so far this season, I would say yes. I believe Z and Dempster will have much closer numbers again by the end of the season so I'd probably give him the edge because of his offense. Harden is my #1 either way. 2. no
  7. who says that?
  8. You could take the high road and stop reading the game threads if they upset you so much. it's most certainly not just him. the lack of civil discourse is nearly repulsive sometimes. expressing displeasure with individual plays is a natural reaction that I can live with, but harping on them with the chicken little mentality often makes game threads completely unbearable
  9. When you factor in pure sexiness, Soto takes the top spot. and not just catchers pitchers, too? everyone in the whole wide world
  10. When you factor in pure sexiness, Soto takes the top spot. and not just catchers
  11. just wanted to point out how good of a thing it is that we're able to have this debate
  12. Santo K'd an average of 97 times a season and Aramis is at 92 a season. I think that's a wash considering some of the pitcher's Santo had to face on a consistent basis. Huh?? Ya know, guys like Bob Gibson, Sandy Koufax, Tom Seaver, Don Drysdale, Jim Bunning... it doesn't appear as though his strikeout totals suffered after the mound was lowered. I was thinking maybe the difference between the two came from when the mound was higher, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I don't necessarily think the starting pitching is worse now, but Aramis also has the benefit of facing relievers more regularly than Santo (32% of his PAs vs 27% for Santo)
  13. one of the rare times I didn't admire one of my shots was the one time it wasn't counted as a home run. right when I hit the ball, I knew it was long gone as did everyone on the field so nobody watched it. the ump looked to our dugout to get a new ball. well, the ball cleared the fence about 40 feet high, hit a tree and bounced back into left field. the left fielder (playing in only his 2nd game ever) picked it up and fired it in and since nobody saw it leave assumed it didn't. I was left standing on 2nd with a double. after the game, the opposing pitcher was laughing about it and told me that had to be the farthest hit ball he'd ever given up and didn't even turn his head after it left my bat because he knew it was gone. the left fielder then admitted the ball hit the top of the tree and landed right by his feet so he assumed it was still in play. we won by about 15 so I didn't mind too much, but I missed having my 1st 3-homer game. the moral to my story is twofold: they should have replay in Iowa City rec-league softball, and you should always stand there to admire your shots when you know you got it all
  14. I wasn't talking about you
  15. oh phelps, nothing good could possibly come from that
  16. Pittsburgh is 250 years old. sure smells like it
  17. too soon idiotic
  18. hey Fred, get out of your mom's basement occasionally and watch a game
  19. I hope they do. it's starting to look like we'll have a couple of good races in the east and west, and I'd like to see the WC come down to the final game or two as well. I still think the Brewers are far and away the 2nd best NL team and will pull it out, but I guess I like the drama when it doesn't involve the Cubs.
  20. mine might suck the most. at least I got Nate Kaeding.
