pfft, I could do that

just in case it was missed the last time around

anything not involving Dane Cook is infinitely better than anything involving Dane Cook

this is the strangest poll yet, and that's saying something

what I'm saying is, maybe it's in reference to the players chosen on the players ballot, not the fan ballot It obviously is(being referred to), since fans don't vote on pitchers, but the players vote by position as well. and Soriano was voted in by the fans, therefore this wouldn't come into play The host was probably an idiot(he's a sports radio host), but the way this is phrased says nothing about how the player got there, just if one needs to be replaced they go to the next highest. I don't know, it's just a guess. if there's anything to do with the voting (and the implication that the PA agreed to it), my guess is the agreement was based solely on the player voting. chances are the host was probably an idiot though

what's Who's Now?

I was coming here to post that this was probably the case. Hurdle has paid attention to the player voting very, very closely when replacing people in the starting lineup/roster. That's the same reason that was given for Holliday being given the starting nod, for example. I don't even think this was really a choice. I was just listening to XM Home Plate and whoever the host was said that if a player cannot participate in the AS game due to an injury (Wood), the next highest vote getter at that position MUST be selected (Marmol). The host said that it wasn't a widely known rule, but was part of the arrangement in 2002 in order to get the PA to agree to the WS home field advantage. Now it could be possible that this guy could has this whole thing screwed up, but he acted as if he knew what he was talking about and it didn't sound like speculation to me. If that was the case Soriano wouldn't have been replaced by David Wright. maybe it's from the players vote

I concur he could use an extended break every now and again I really don't mind the one we have Year Ag Tm Lg G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB CS BB SO BA OBP SLG *OPS+ TB SH SF IBB HBP GDP +--------------+---+----+----+----+---+--+---+----+---+--+---+---+-----+-----+-----+----+----+---+---+---+---+---+ 2008 38 CHC NL 43 131 18 35 8 1 9 28 0 0 21 28 .267 .366 .550 135 72 0 1 1 0 3 +--------------+---+----+----+----+---+--+---+----+---+--+---+---+-----+-----+-----+----+----+---+---+---+---+---+ this screams "sample size" but it's fun anyway: I Split G GS PA AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB IBB SO HBP SH SF ROE GDP SB CS BA OBP SLG OPS BAbip sOPS+ tOPS+ Split +-+------------+---+---+---+---+---+---+--+--+--+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+------------+ Batting 1st 12 12 58 50 10 13 2 0 1 5 7 0 16 1 0 0 1 0 2 1 .260 .362 .360 .722 .364 96 82 Batting 1st Batting 2nd 11 11 51 45 4 6 1 0 1 3 5 0 14 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 .133 .220 .222 .442 .167 23 12 Batting 2nd Batting 4th 3 3 13 11 1 3 2 0 0 3 1 0 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 .273 .308 .455 .762 .300 84 92 Batting 4th Batting 5th 53 53 233 193 40 61 10 2 5 23 38 6 32 0 1 1 0 3 5 2 .316 .427 .466 .893 .357 128 125 Batting 5th Batting 6th 6 5 25 22 3 6 1 0 0 2 3 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 .273 .360 .318 .678 .353 83 72 Batting 6th Batting 7th 2 0 2 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1.000 1.000 2.000 3.000 1.000 692 649 Batting 7th Batting 9th 2 0 3 3 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 .333 .333 .333 .667 .333 135 68 Batting 9th

and never funny

I loves me some Oreos but they give me some terrible heartburn

I think the Cubs were REALLY high on Gallagher as well. I don't think he knows anything the rest of us don't. he has the potential to be a very good #3 (or possible #2) starter

if Burnett's going to turn his season around, that's the right division to do it in

can I post my 1st post-All Star game transaction now? I'd like to drop Sexson and add Jacobs

I had him in the HR derby too. damn me and my selections...

This. HAS to be skyballer YES And nice job ripping off my idea when the Cubs released Prior. :P and kudos to you for changing your name

keep these old pics coming, OMC. I'm often amazed at how different "history" will be going forward with the modern advances in photography and video in all aspects of life.

Is he hurt, or has he been hanging around Rich Hill too much? the numbers might be closer if Rich was throwing right handed

plan on sleeping for 3 years? I just might, I'm friggin tired

Unless it's a typo he's averaging well over a strikeout per inning but over two walks per inning. :shock:I don't think it's a typo -- baseball-reference has similar numbers (I'm assuming there's a game or 2 missing there) http://minors.baseball-reference.com/players.cgi?pid=29351

holy hell, I just checked out Turnbow's minor league numbers http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?n=Derrick%20Turnbow&pos=P&sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=276913
