Choi 3 run HR, 6-1 Korea Gameday is working if you can access it. Gameday here... http://www.worldbaseballclassic.com/2006/schedule/

well poop.

Chipper clogging the bases...

What is the Max pitch count for this game?

Did Willis look a lot better or was he lucky?

I wish I could go back to not caring about the WBC :?

This is horrible.

I'm sure it's just Tex's turn. Who's DHing? I can't seem to find the gameday link. It's probably part precautionary and part to get someone else playing time. C Jones. Try this.. http://www.worldbaseballclassic.com/2006/schedule/

19 pitches already...

I'm sure it's just Tex's turn.

The WBC is so much better than I expected.

What happened?

Say it ain't so, Joe! Say it ain't so...

Cabrera is going to become the new Dunn on here.

Word. DOUBLE word to ya motha! :evil: Vanilla Ice... is that you? :wink:

One that doesn't voice descent and try to hint that he should be given more at bats than he deserves. One that accepts his role as a backup, and keeps is filthy mouth shut? I mean seriously. I thought we got rid of all this crap with Sosa, Alou, Farnsworth, Mercker, ect. . Now Neifi has to open his big fat mouth!!? :evil: You know, this can really screw up a teams chemistry. And they all seem to be having fun and playing off eachother so well. If there are any outbreaks in the Clubhouse it can really screw up a team's momentum. I really hope he keeps his big mouth shut, and what he said was said, and it's off his chest now. Otherwise this could be a very LOOOOOONG season. . . The Cubs had a better record in 04 with their "bad chemistry". So the guy is fighting for a starting job after signing a contract. Is that such a bad thing? He's actually right in a certain sense, Cedeno is not a sure thing by any means.

Do you think Neifi is a horrible backup middle infielder? I don't think he is. Yes. What do you expect from a backup middle infielder? His VORP was 6.6 (OK, not good) with ++ defense. I'm not sure I agree that his defense is "++", some defensive metrics(PMR) rate him down the chain a little bit, certainly not enough to make up for his atrocious offense. Speaking of which, I expect a little more than one of the worst hitters of the generation on my team's roster. IF that type of production is inevitable, there's good reason to avoid Neifi He's been sucking for a long time, at least with someone who is younger(whether that be a prospect or another player of Neifi's caliber in his prime years) you have the potential of offensive improvement. Neifi's a known black hole, and at his age he could get worse. He's also overpaid, and is a crappy veteran with a manager who loves him for dumb reasons("he saved us", pitcher chats on the mound where pitchers probably want to punch him in the face, etc.) and will use him even beyond the role he shouldn't be in. 1) Admittedly defensive metrics are still in their infancy however most I've seen rate Nefei as a very good SS. 2) Nefei's contract and manager isn't his problem - it's Hendry's. Again, what do you expect from a backup middle infielder? I told you. Someone who isn't an offensive abomination, and if we are forced to accept a defensive oriented guy who can't hit, at least get someone younger with the potential to give you something, anything at the offensive end. The rest that is out of his control was tacked on to the end to why he's particularly bad for this team. What should the minimum stat line be for an avg fielding backup SS? Not trolling, just curious.

I don't expect a backup MIF'er to cost 2.5 million dollars a year. Is that Nefei's fault? Would you have taken that contract if you were Nefei?

how bad is it if i thought about how wrong that was, then abruptly lol'd anyway? Considering I even laughed - not very. :wink:

I'll never forget Puckett's hard play and great attitude. I'll never forgive the .357/.419/.464 line he put up in the 87 WS. :? RIP

My team stinks.
