  1. Have they even won 2 in a row yet this year? Yes, in Milwaukee.
  2. Francis Beltran. Take 'em out, mix 'em up.
  3. Are you a big fan of the whiff without the walks or something? I like to see players possess a tool that you just can't teach. And he is a tool.
  4. Really? He said that? For how long? This was posted in the why can't Theriot play SS thread:
  5. http://www.northsidebaseball.com/PremiumForum/templates/subSilver/images/lang_english/icon_ignore_add.gif
  6. Where does $10m come into play? It's loosely based on the $3.575M he's actually making.
  7. There is a thing as "timely" hitting, but it's not something that can be predicted or expected. The problem with this team for years is not a lack of timely hitting, it's not getting enough guys on base in front of the guys who are consistently good hitters. I never said it should be predicted or expected (esp not with the Cubs). I merely put it as one of the key factors that you need to win a game. Starting pitching, timely hitting, and bullpen. If you get any 2 of those during a game, you'll likely be in a good position to win that game. Lately the Cubs have only been getting one of those three at a time. What many are arguing is that there really isn't a distinction between timely hitting and plain ol' hitting. The problem solves itself when people are getting on base in a more consistent manner.
  8. There are real baseball teams that would give us something in return for him based on his more recent career numbers. DFA makes little sense.
  9. Wait. I was reading this thread, and I completely thought this was sarcasm or a joke until I read the rest of your posts in this thread and started to suspect otherwise. You can't be serious, can you? Were you seriously predicting that Lee would go all year without a home run? I mean, he has a murderous dictator in his avatar, which unless sarcastic, doesn't leave me to believe reason stands in his way. who's the murderous dictator in my avatar? OOOOOOHHHH IT'S ON!!! i just want to know how anyone could confuse the guy in my avatar with a murderous dictator. who did he murder? JFK and Elvis, to name a couple.
  10. There is a thing as "timely" hitting, but it's not something that can be predicted or expected. The problem with this team for years is not a lack of timely hitting, it's not getting enough guys on base in front of the guys who are consistently good hitters.
  11. Seriously, let's just condense the entire freaking board into one thread. It's always better to discuss 1 topic in 1 thread that to have them scattered around.
  12. I for one would like to take a moment to wish Mr. Prior the best of luck in his recovery and rehabilitation. About 19 months ago, I went through the process of having my labrum surgically repaired as well as having that looseness fixed. It is an extremely painful and tremendously long process just to get mobility back, and he has to go leaps and bounds past that to get back to how he makes his living. I wish him nothing but the best in the future, whether or not it is with the Cubs.
  13. This was discussed in the game thread. viewtopic.php?t=40255 http://www.northsidebaseball.com/PremiumForum/viewtopic.php?t=40255
  14. Maybe Blasko, Browlie, and Hagerty should head east.
  15. A lot of that slg% is singles driven because he has a jesus christ like .485 babip. When that goes down, and it surely will, that slugging percentage will plummet unless he starts hitting the ball out of the park again. This is very simple guys, I don't know how you keep getting it wrong. Jesus's BABIP was never above 440. Well that's cause he couldnt hit a curveball. That's what I was waiting for.
  16. Not to worry..... Omar will be along with those soon. Just in case he's a no-show... Marquis vs Cardinals http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c263/mgoedken/marquis.jpg Reyes vs Cubs http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c263/mgoedken/reyes.jpg
  17. When is a decision going to be made? Give the man a chance to check the forum first.
  18. I like the sig, but it doesn't really portray the intense pain I assume is associated with being a Bucs fan.
  19. The Murtons??? I'm just shocked that Cliff would forget to mention him.... He's got a bad back, remember? Everyone else had better watch out, it seems to be contagious.
  20. They are idiots, and it has little to do with calling Prior a wussy.
  21. Yes. I know. Thanks for letting me know something else I've read 20 times. How about discussing how a 390K player is the best run producer on a 100M ball club? Your point was that he should be starting. Other threads have said he WILL be starting.
  22. That's not necessarily a bad move.
