    i do actually like their offense some but that pitching staff is so abhorrent
  2. sneakypower
    he's picking bad spots exhibit A - yadi molina
  3. sneakypower
    i'm just glad not to follow a team whose franchise player has the spector of TJS constantly lurking over him
  4. sneakypower
    true, that does bear mentioning. before this past offseason i had felt Beane was being a little overrated in comparison to the other great GMs because of the book. but my god, his two trades netted an incredible return. and am i the only one tired of the phrase "pixie dust"?

    daric barton, kiko calero, greg smith, dana eveland, carlos gonzales, aaron cunningham, chris carter, brett anderson

    it's strange that the two best OF arms in the game are both playing CF
  7. sneakypower
    was it Sickels who last spring said he could very well see Theriot putting up a .280/.350/.400 line?
  8. sneakypower
    it really is a legitimate question as to why there's so much grousing about a player who has OBP'd .400 for us thus far and the ignorance has festered to the point that these types of asinine statements are being made
  9. sneakypower
    i admire your false confidence wolf
  10. sneakypower
    yes it's amazing we ever score with this joker and his .400 obp hitting 2nd brainwashed
  11. sneakypower
    am i the only person who thinks Cedeno's gaudy stats would be considerably lower with additional ABs? a full month of .400 on-base and Theriot still can't get anybody off his back on here. tough crowd.
  12. sneakypower
    i hope hope hope the Padres sign him and solve their CF issues

    SportsNation Jerry Crasnick: John, It was a good, low-risk pickup by Jim Hendry. You could tell that Piniella wasn't very enthused about running Felix Pie out there day in and day out, so Johnson is a nice security blanket. In case you haven't noticed, Sweet Lou doesn't deal well with young players making mistakes when he's in "win now'' mode.

    and a .470 slg, resultant in a higher OPS. though, to be sure, it's less valuable to the team.
  15. sneakypower
    Milton Bradley. that would be so disgustingly Cub-like. We could have signed him for no compensation in the offseason but we feigned confidence in Pie. Give him 4 starts, panic at struggles and give up a really good prospect to obtain that guy.
  16. sneakypower
    whatever the opposite of steroids is test him for that
  17. sneakypower
    wow what a game that was
  18. sneakypower
    right now i wouldn't have much issue with Lou playing either as the starter, Cedeno's numbers would probably have come down quite a bit if he had 2.5x the ABs and i'd imagine be fairly similar to Theriot's line right now. Cedeno's competition is performing well in all situations so there's a much less legitimate complaint to be made for his lack of playing time when compared to some other players who have been similarly slighted by Lou.
  19. sneakypower
    my whole point is that its ridiculous to complain so much about a player who's been very good so far
  20. sneakypower
    So... basically what the zone rating stats said. but you treated it like a certainty that Theriot is now and forever henceforth will be a bad fielder. Just can't let it go, or what? You say you can't trust a defensive metric that rates a guy really high one year and really low the next. Then you say that your subjective view basically corroborates that (only apparently you didn't realize that's what you were saying). no, there were plenty of other reasons to distrust RZR but that wasn't really the topic being discussed.

    NABOKOV
  22. sneakypower
    doghouse and hes never getting out of it
  23. sneakypower
    this Cedeno in CF bandwagon has really got me nauseated. i do like him at SS but what on earth happened to suddenly make Cedeno a bat we absolutely must get into the lineup?
  24. sneakypower
    isn't it a good sign that we're still outscoring our opponents even when we lose? it should indicate we're just not catching breaks.
  25. sneakypower
    the khalils are 12-20 i piss my pants thinking about that matchup
