    it's .890 (.292/.390/.500) over the last five seasons. his age 22 suckitude means diddly poo; why you choose to continually embarrass yourself by citing career numbers is puzzling. Uhh, maybe it has something to do with the fact that he's played to those career numbers for many of the last several years. As in 2004, 2005, 2006, and part of 2007. Saying he's been an .890 OPS guy for the last 5 seasons is pretty ridiculous. He's been a 1.000 OPS hitter for the last 600 at-bats (before this season) spread out over the least 2 season and then played to his career totals the previous 3 seasons. for the better part of the last 5 years, he's played to his career totals. i just keep reading the phrase played to his career totals, whatever the hell that even means wait facts are ridiculous?

    the complaints were about his hitting, not health; try and keep up when he plays, he's not a run-of-the-mill RF. that's a ludicrous stance.
  3. sneakypower
    that's a much better OPS than the last 5 years of Abreu, Ibanez btw

    we're on a 90-win pace, not really sure the rationale or reasoning behind mass panic
  6. sneakypower
    beltre's actually not overpaid, but that's a different topic altogether
  7. sneakypower
    Kronwall, Filppula, Helm, Ericsson and Leino have really bright futures. and if they can get Howard or Larsson in there, they're set up well to be dominant for another decade.

    i remember when Peyton Manning didn't "have what it takes to win in the playoffs" and Steve Yzerman and Jordan, too

    Cant tell if your kidding or not, but Rickie Weeks injury doesnt make us the favorites to win any more than Aramis going down makes the Brewers favorites to win. If Gamel becomes an every day player, this could make the Brewers offense better. i wasn't joking. the Brewers won't be much of a threat, unless they can trade for a frontline pitcher again.

    this all but assures us the division now, so in that regard, it's good fortune
  11. sneakypower
    i don't know why people keep thinking Hanley needs to move off SS
  12. sneakypower
    that's a bad ailment in combination with his Bad at Baseball Disorder
  13. sneakypower
    how the hell did Bulin see that?
  14. sneakypower
    the Os are overjoyed to get that line from anybody

    strasburg

    i really, sincerely doubt it. they might be able to steal 2, but likely will be outplayed nearly all series. the ducks haven't a prayer either of coming back in the series. you'll see something like 5-1 tonight.
  17. sneakypower
    wait i don't see ty cobb in the box score
  18. sneakypower
    i hope people realize if Braun were a Cub everyone would be wearing yarmulkes whenever their karate headbands made it into the wash
  19. sneakypower
    holy s might as well do away with the goalies at this point
  20. sneakypower
    being a top 20 hitter in your league at age 24 is hardly an indictment going forward TT, who in the NL besides Pujols would you expect to out-hit Braun? fwiw, i don't think being a -5 fielder is going to stick in the writers minds enough to significantly hinder his chances of winning an MVP. Keeping in mind he's a horrendous defender in LF, I don't think it's far fetched to find 10 guys. He didn't crack my MVP ballot last year. He didn't make yours either. because of a .335 OBP registered last year which he's already shown great strides in improving. i absolutely agree he's likely a future MVP. Jay Bruce and Upton are two others i'd lay pretty good odds for, too.
  21. sneakypower
    10? Hanley, Utley and maybe Wright are probably the only hitters i'd listen to arguments for
  22. sneakypower
    36/38 on the "'the' bands" couldn't for the life of me remember who sang The Lion Sleeps Tonight and never heard of Eye in the Sky either. maddening.
  23. sneakypower
    112/122 missed 2 apiece for New Orleans & Washington. New Orleans killed me because i couldn't think of anything that fit in the New Jersey - New York gap.
  24. sneakypower
    even worse than that was Gonchar strolling into the offensive zone with impunity for his goal
  25. sneakypower
    yeah well other than hitting .500 with 4 HR or something Hanley's just having a miserable week
