    THAT was a diving catch. WOW.

    Uhh.... .265/.285/.377. Not picking on you, because I have recently read multiple articles stating, that Neifi has been "great" for us this year. I'm confused how the above line is anything more than atrocious, especially for a team in the wild-card hunt. You would think that teams in our position would be the most likely to try and ride the hot hand, and not stick to guys like Perez.

    He hits a lot of ropes, as well.

    Alright, so when Neifi pops/strikes out. Murton will get an RBI opporunity!
  5. muntjack
    So would we all.

    You're not alone. I sure thought I heard the same thing.
  7. muntjack
    Yea!

    I look at it this way: No matter how good a pitcher is, he simply cannot win a ball game by himself. All he can do is hold the other team down as best as he can and hope his offense can win the game. Many good pitchers win relatively few games because their team sucks, and many mediocre pitchers win a lot of games because their team has a powerhouse offense. Any pitchers win-loss record must be viewed in the context of their teams quality. Wins are totally a team stat, and a pitchers win total is simply the most overrated stat in baseball. Um... I've seen Zambrano do exactly that.

    I don't like to speculate, but Dusty did have his arm around him and almost surely said "Washington". Now, perhaps they were talking about George, but I really don't see what else it could be. Now, what the heck could we be getting from a first place team that has equal value. I, for one, do not want to see Jerry and his .370+ OBP leave.

    I really dont like the idea of getting Kearns. I mean, He had a Great 2003. If we could get 2003 Keans, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But, he has underacheived ever since. He, to me, is a HUGE risk. Especially when someone better (DUNN) could be had. I'd rather just have Murton play every day, rather then kearns, personally. But, I guess if it comes down to it, I wouldnt mind him. Boy, you could have said almost EXACTLY the same thing about Aramis Ramirez circa 2003. Perhaps you can help me with a question. How is BABIP a fair statistic. Aren't hitters who square up the ball and hit rockets more likely to have a high BABIP than, say, Rey Ordonez?

    Okay, so can we assume if Dunn IS in the lineup, that he is not coming to the cubs? It does seem strange that he would play against us if a deal is indeed in place.

    I can't believe some folks on this board were questioning his ability earlier in the year. I was questioning him since he had one more year before he could hit true FA, but he has been absolutely amazing since May. His OPS is approaching .950 (might actually be there since I haven't calculated it, but he came into tonight's game at .936) and 2 HR's, a double, and a walk will certainly help that :D I'm unspeakably glad I was wrong.

    It's like we have two Pujols :-)

    In the sixth, Peoria tied at 5. EPatt with two homeruns and all five RBI's.

    Not that I want to see Felix in Wrigley this summer, but...... 20 yr old Pie= 28 yr old Pierre, while being cheaper and not costing us any prospects. I'm fairly certain that Felix could put up a .319 OBP% right now, with the infield grass and all.

    Wow. 180 degrees. Wow.
  21. muntjack
    I think this is going to be a very nice inning.
  22. muntjack
    Hmmm....mayhap the all-star break isn't coming at the best time. Hopefully the momentum carries over.
  23. muntjack
    I sure hope they see this pattern.
  24. muntjack
    God, I love Michael Barrett.

    Count me in. In my years, I've seen many players ride the pine, but Murton just has that special gift for it. That posture! That poise! The way he crosses his legs by the fifth inning! I can't wait to see him in action!
