  1. Woulda been handy in 84.
  2. Vance isn't your average poster. Newspaper columnist, ESPN interviewer (Ryno at the HOF ceremonies last year). I'm pretty sure he was Will Smith's stunt double in I, Robot.
  3. One of my buddies played with Randall many, many years ago and said he's his favorite teammate ever.
  4. Defensive metrics are very young and not necessarily reliable. However, ratings for infielders are typically much more accurate because we're dealing with ground balls and line drives that are mostly within a few steps of the defender and pop flies. Outfielder ratings should be taken with a grain of salt because there is no way to measure the line they take to the ball amongst other things. Sammy may have had a better rating than Ichiro because A) he didn't play every day, limiting his chances and B) he could not make plays on the same types of plays that Ichiro could.
  5. You get all that from an 800 OPS at Boise?
  6. We should tear down Wrigley and make them earn a new stadium.
  7. Make that 9.5 That font size is really annoying.
  8. http://www.webpages.uidaho.edu/~hobd8260/BeatDeadHorse.gif
  9. Stop using logic. It won't do you, or any of us, any good.
  10. He's got 18 after 7 in July and 3 so far this month.
  11. Yea, because, I'm sure that's the goal of the team. The slack comes when they stop saying and doing stupid things.
  12. I remember when they had him on TV one day during a rain delay last year and he correctly predicted the game would eventually resume.
  13. Schimdt will end up with the Yankees... You mean Seattle. Count on it. The only saving grace is does he want to pitch in the AL? Well he grew up near Seattle, still has his home there, and has said many times how much he'd love to play for Seattle in his career. Since this is probably his last big contract, I'd say it's now. A lot of people in Seattle are practically pencilling him in. I think the Mariners will comply. So the Cubs now have virtually no chance of signing either Schmidt or Zito? Great. Middle of the road FA starter here we come. Shawn T. Estes will be available.
  14. He's a gamer and a grinder. He plays the game the right way. Plenty of upside. A real steal for the Cubs. Kid's got spunk. Gumption too.
  15. Your user name accurately describes 93.7% of the members here. Welcome!
  16. Because Hendry all but cemented him in there. Bingo
  17. O$U will have a very hard time staying on top. @Texas, @Iowa, PSU, Michigan
  18. Actually it has already happened, and we're just too foolish to recognize because we've never played the game, or don't watch enough games, or don't appreciate the finer parts of his game, or something. My apologies. I'm always so close-minded. He'll drive in runs with his glove. 20 or 80 every game.
  19. Yep, also being discussed in the Andruw Jones on waivers thread. viewtopic.php?t=34427 http://www.northsidebaseball.com/PremiumForum/viewtopic.php?t=34427
  20. Unless they put Pierre in the A. Jones deal. But there I go dreaming. I'd bet Pierre would clear waivers too.
  21. Holy crap, I was in a meeting and just checked the score. When did crappy Z come back?
