    well, it was a clean play, but it's absolutely stupid that it was called the way it was

    Phone Blake Lalli: hello? Voice: Congratulations Blake, you've been called up to the Cubs to fill in for Geovany Soto Blake Lallli: Is that you, Tolbert? This isn't very funny, you know. I'm hung over! My knees are killin' me and if you're going to pull this [expletive] at least you could've said you were from the Yankees. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g04aCp3ej-I

    i shudder to think of what your team full of fliers would end up looking like
  4. sneakypower
    by making hitters swing and miss

    Mark Donnal surely isn't a better recruit than Zak Irvin at this moment in time, but Scout is also under the impression we have two different Nick Stauskases in the '12 class, so what's the use in quibbling
  6. sneakypower
    pretty disappointing that Torreyes came into the season with a career .375 babip, and is sitting at .188 right now for the season he's been spectacularly helpless against RHP so far, too

    what, you don't think a playoff team should have a bullpen consisting of james russell and 5-6 bad pitchers? ...the Rays and Cards had bottom-5 bullpens last year and if you can accurately predict what players are going to be good relievers in future seasons, you are likely using some type of sorcery that is terribly wasted on baseball talk

    you just know he's been saving that one up for the last 4 years now tell us about more #1 prospects who ought to be good eventually
  9. sneakypower
    i'm not worried about it too much, he's always been really streaky he'll have a two week stretch lifting his numbers to where you'd expect them to be

    Melvin was a legendarily bad fielder (at SS) coming up through the minors, in terms of errors, but he's always had incredible physical skills to allow him to make plays like this: his CF defense is legit; he's one of the fastest runners in the game and his arm is fairly elite

    oh man, Hawk's heartbreak made my day Sox started the 9th four runs down and after a Valverde blowup (and likely serious arm injury) put the go-ahead run up to bat in the form of Viciedo, who came about two or three feet from an opposite field HR ""Stretch! Stretch! Stretch! DAD GUMMIT NO.............Mercy!"....long pause, "All right we tried"
  12. sneakypower
    yes to Demp you're probably right about Drew, who might take a one-year deal if he doesn't have a big second half; i'd love to try going long-term though
  13. sneakypower
    pass on Hamels and the 8/180 or whatever he ends up getting, and use that instead on: BJ Upton 5/80 Edwin Jackson 3/35 Stephen Drew 4/55 F. Liriano 1/6? RF DeJesus (B. Jackson) CF Upton SS Castro LF LaHair (Campana) 2B Drew (Barney) 1B Rizzo 3B Stewart (Cardenas) C Castillo (Clevenger) Garza, Samardjiza, E. Jackson, Dempster, T. Wood/Maholm/Volstad/F.Liriano Marmol, Dolis, Russell, Bowden, L. Castillo, Rusin print playoff tickets
  14. sneakypower
    having no DH really made both halves of that inning a total bore
  15. sneakypower
    Beltran out of the lineup
  16. sneakypower
    well now we know WSR's real name
  17. sneakypower
    and if you really want to [expletive] your pants, look at zips' updated projections: http://www.fangraphs.com/projections.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&type=uzips&team=0&players=0&sort=18,d it's like Where's Waldo, finding Pujols hint: also, who's that guy there above Miggy Cabrera and Prince Fielder a few spots? bizzaro world.
  18. sneakypower
    assuming the same playing time they've received so far, through the rest of the season... Pujols: .283/.367/.550 (.917) LaHair: .264/.338/.423 (.761)
  19. sneakypower
    Sam Webb basically guaranteed it

  21. sneakypower
    3 most encouraging developments: Shark's emergence, Castro's defense, LaHair's Hulk-smashing 3 most discouraging developments: Marmol's slider, Baez's walk allergy, McNutt
  22. sneakypower
    that's what jersey tells me man you're a douchebag no, you literally did tell me that
  23. sneakypower
    Cubs are 7th in NL in FIP. that's including relievers; our starters are 5th-best in all of baseball in FIP
  24. sneakypower
    that's what jersey tells me
  25. sneakypower
    Maholm: 4.05 ERA, 1.08 WHIP Russell: 0.73 ERA, 1.38 WHIP
