  1. I don't often find myself agreeing with Dayn, but we're in agreement there.
  2. Yes, the guy who took fewer pitches than anyone else on the team has a "good eye at the plate." never let facts get in the way of a good argument They don't have to be mutually exclusive. Theriot can have a very discriminating eye, but at the same time not see too many pitches because he doesn't have the pop to make pitchers pay, so they pound the strike zone against him. correct, but this is not the only "inaccurate" description from the same person regarding Theriot's value
  3. please use the quote button
  4. isnt gooz out for '08? probably at least the first half

  6. no surprise, nobody worth a lick wants to play baseball in the snow
  7. If it's an executive, whose affiliation with the Cubs was due to Tribune ownership, I don't care. If it's somebody who matters in the baseball operations side, I do. I don't care either way and probably won't until they can get a crew in place that can field a 90+ win team sometime before my kids start having kids.
  8. I've had ideas way worse than that. now that's funny
  9. Billy probably fully appreciates the value Swisher brings to a team, and I highly doubt the Sox got off lightly here.
  10. Does anyone else not have the foggiest idea of what this means? yes, the purple horse rides at midnight
  11. I have never been to a college baseball game, but I am changing that this season.
  12. I'd love to speculate, but I really don't care.
  13. what would you say if I told you I had evidence to suggest that Theriot does not, in fact, find a way to get on base all that well?
  14. building momentum
  15. I'll be damned, I didn't realize Iowa was still fielding a basketball team.
  16. I'm guessing it's actually the Wrigley marquee
  17. Jason Kendall is in the NL Central. I'll be pissed if Soto only steals one base all season. :D I don't know if Soto can even steal a base on Kendall. There are a lot of things he's good at, but speed isn't exactly one of them. I'd put him as the slowest player on last year's team. There's a reason that Soto spent 3 years in AAA and in that time stole exactly 0 bases :D Mark Grace could steal a base on Kendall. Grace had 70 stolen bases in 8065 at-bats between the minors and majors. In 1/4 of the at-bats, Soto has exactly 2, and 1 of those was in rookie league ball. Grace stole a base in every year but 2, 1994 and 2003. Soto's already had 5 separate seasons where he didn't steal a base, including each of the last 3 years. There's a possibility that Soto could steal the base if Kendall threw the ball away like he did many times last year, but I don't want to see him try. He is that slow. If Kendall got it anywhere near the bag, Soto would be out by a mile, even with Kendall's bad arm. It was a joke. Dan Patrick could steal a base on Kendall. Happy? :) Dan Patrick ran a 4.48 40 at the 1968 combine
  18. easy, they suck it's directional michigan. it's Iowa
  19. I wish either side would bring forth a candidate that I could really feel good about. Then again, I don't think that's ever happened in my lifetime.
  20. easy, they suck
  21. I've been invited by the Dodd camp to caucus, but I have a few problems with that: 1. I am not a Dem 2. I don't want to caucus 3. I don't know anything about Dodd 4. I may be on to something, if you know what I mean
  22. YOU GOTTA BE SOME KIND OF STRONG...
