Williams strikes out the side. Nice. 8)
-
hahahaha, the astros are starting to hate CB as much as we do.
-
with his leg injury, i can't imagine they'll let him go too far beyond 100 pitches. williams has pitched much better than Clemens so far.

here's an article with the details: http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/news/mlb_news.jsp?ymd=20040227&content_id=642185&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp -
Wood's '07 option
MeatampPotatoesMan replied to CoolHandLuke's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
that could be it. i don't know. -
Murton with the deep sac fly. Just missed the slam against Clemens. wow.
-
yup. i'd rather have had 2/12 than 3/15.5. oh well.

Wood's '07 option
MeatampPotatoesMan replied to CoolHandLuke's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
i thought he had to pitch 400+ innings for that to vest (05 and 06). :? that's pretty much impossible. -
Biggio boots one. yes!
-
CB Bucknor is the man. I love when his blown calls (this frequently happens) benefit us.
-
The cubs paid Hawkins almost $4.5M/year to set up. And Hawkins was easily the best set-up man on the market at the time. And you don't give a guy a raise after a top notch performance as a closer just to make him a set-up guy. If Hendry pulled Dempster from the closer's role after how well he has done, he would look like a real slime to other players, IMO. yup, and this is a different year and a different market. Relief help is at a premium now with so many teams contending so late this season and thinking they will contend next season.

gotta love the first pitch hanging breaking ball. :cry:

wow. that was a great bunt, Neifi. you deserve to play every day.
-
holy crap. leadoff basehit for Macias.
-
CB Bucknor at the dish. sweet.
-
yup, he should get the opportunity Dempster did. 2M for one year and the chance at a decent multi-year deal (if healthy coming off TJ surgery).
-
3/$15.5M isn't horrible in this market. 5M per year (roughly) doesn't worry me. the 3 years does. i don't remember any of our bullpen arms performing as advertized for 3 years in a row.

10/1 Yankees-Red Sox game thread
MeatampPotatoesMan replied to erik316wttn's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
too bad Wakefield pitched like trash early in the game. johnson didn't pitch well early, either (50+ pitches in the first two innings). -
well, at least we did it before he hit the FA market. his price would have been ridiculous with no home town discount.
-
Macias, 2B Perez, SS Lee, 1B Garciaparra, 3B Burnitz, RF Barrett, C Murton, LF Patterson, CF Williams, P Awesome lineup, Dusty. I salute you.
-
Maybe it has to do with lack of motivation.

If you were Minnesota...

See Hoops' post, they may not be able to afford it. Can anyone see a Todd Walker + good pitching prospect for Brad Radke deal going down? I hope not. Radke's only marginally better than Maddux. Yup. They are statistically very similar. Both have huge K/BB ratios b/c they don't walk many people. Both are susceptible to the long ball and have average BAA. That's not bad, but you'd better not be paying a guy like that upwards of 8M a season. We don't need another salary drain on this team. -
yeah, baby. CUBS WIN!!!

i hate you Bucknor.
