  1. it'll take awhile though icings and dump offs every time Detroit gets the puck in their zone
  2. god Datsyuk is a magician
  3. might be time to invest in a visor
  4. heh let's not ignore Pujols' elbow and the lost season they'll have once it finally blows. i'm just really not sold on their young talent whatsoever. they have a lot of work to do to be a formidable contender.
  5. KRONWALL :shock:
  6. 55% GB ratio and 11 K/9 this kid is fantastic and I don't know of many pitchers I'd trade him for
  7. i always liked Wellemeyer and I'm glad he's found success once given a chance to start and even better that it's a team that doesn't pose any threat to us in the standings and won't for a few years
  8. yeah one of those guys listed really sticks out don't forget carl crawford either .276/.323/.384 but 39 runs
  9. it's still the Tigers division to lose. i think they do it and by more than just a couple games.
  10. Except they already have a lot of talent that is already very good. Cordero, Dunn, Harang, Volquez, Phillips, Arroyo and I'd even say Votto and Bruce. Bailey, Encarnacion and Cueto are wild cards. At any rate, we'll still win the division, but the wild card isn't out of reach for them.
  11. Matt Harrington has one of the most "interesting" draft histories ever Drafted: Selected by Colorado Rockies in 1st Round (7th overall) of 2000 amateur entry draft (June-Reg) ... Selected by San Diego Padres in 2nd Round (58th overall) of 2001 amateur entry draft (June-Reg) ... Selected by Tampa Bay Devil Rays in 13rd Round (374th overall) of 2002 amateur entry draft (June-Reg) ... Selected by Cincinnati Reds in 24th Round (711st overall) of 2003 amateur entry draft (June-Reg) ... Selected by New York Yankees in 36th Round (1089th overall) of 2004 amateur entry draft (June-Reg) Selected by Best Buy in 1st Round of 2005 Job Fair
  12. how about the Reds in 2008? probable 2nd place finisher and wild card contender is the way I see things unfolding, despite dugout dice throwing toothpick chewer
  13. Vina gushed about him because he's a "table setter/catalyst/etc.", all the things he envisioned himself as being during his playing days. This is the same as Schlereth fixated on offensive linemen, Jaworski fixated on QBs, Brantley fixated on closers and so on.
  14. i'm mostly indifferent to him, and there's a LOT of announcers i'd less rather listen to.
  15. it's beyond thinking he's a bad analyst. practically half of the sigs on here are quotes of his, there's a 26 page topic to bash him, and he's ceaselessly mentioned out of the blue such as in quotes earlier in this topic. there's dozens of broadcasters who are just as bad or worse, but he receives all of the hatred. because of his Sandberg comments? the Moneyball epilogue? i don't really understand it.
  16. I had to do it I don't think I'll ever understand the complete and utter vitriol this board has for that guy
  17. if Marmol never faced McLouth 0.26 era 0.61 whip opponents .082/.172/.091
  18. then what are they paying him for? does he sit all day in the corner and just masturbate? my whole point was if this guy was such a shrewd talent evaluator, maybe they'd have acquired a decent player or two during his tenure. i wasn't much blaming anybody, i just said that team's roster is awful. jesus, i don't even care that much about the guy either way. what's with this weird allegiance anyways?
  19. Jemile Weeks though I suspect the Brewers might take him to convince Rickie to resign
  20. still waiting on the quote
  21. i was just curious which quote of mine you were misconstruing
  22. i hate that the allstar game is based almost entirely on who has the hottest month and a half to open the season. ryan ludwick being talked about as an allstar is patently absurd. just vote for the best players at each position.
  23. Huh? He was asking about the triple play, not the triple steal. (And in this case it should be credited as a caught stealing and an error on who threw the ball. i didnt see the 2nd post that talked about the TP or hear about the triple play. they were probably ruled as steals because the runner on third beat the throw home, but the bobbling of the ball enabled the other two runners to steal 2nd and 3rd.
