    Gamer also works, or you can just talk about his intangibles. Or just say he saved you.

    I'm on record as thinking he was. Williams's offseason in 2004 was pretty bad and he got lucky with many of his acquisitions. But this last offseason he did a really fantastic job.

    Obviously Walt Jocketty and the rest of the front office thought they would perform well. Query: Is it possible that the Cards have developed a system like the one the 90's Bulls had or the recent Pats did where you take unremarkable players (like Miles, Rodriguez, and Nunez of last year) and plug them into a methodology that allows them to be significant contributors? I don't buy this theory. Baseball is baseball, and the objective is always to get on base. There really aren't that many different ways to do it. In basketball and football, you can plug unremarkable players into "systems" to maximize their strengths, but there's really nothing similar in baseball. After all, only one person in the Cards' lineup can hit in front of Pujols.

    Restovich may not be very good, but he should be platooning with Jones. He can't do any worse against lefties than KoJock. Nevertheless, it's been real nice to see him hitting, as he was really the only guy hitting fairly consistently during the losing streak.

    I suppose the good thing about this is that Barrett, Jones and Murton aren't being broken up by Mabry's sorry bat. Then again, we could accomplish that by batting Mabry eighth too... :x

    What a sexist comment. Kidding.

    Prior for Cano, eh? We "need that 2B", eh? Last I checked, we have one hitting .300, and have for over two seasons now. Goes by Todd Walker.

    We actually have 2 capable backups this year: 1997 National Championship Brian Griese 10-5 as a starter Kyle Orton <--- never seen a 10-5 QB hated as much as Orton was most of last year.

    Treeman started an injury thread just for things like this. :wink:

    When was the last time a milestone was reached against the Cubs? #62? Remember that Clemens had a chance to get his 300th win against the Cubs and it didn't happen. I don't think we give up milestones very often.

    Probably because his OBP would be 1.000 if they put him on all the time, which is 535 points higher than his current OBP. Walking him all the time would help the Cardinals more than it would hurt them. The same goes for Bonds and SF.

    Derrek Lee will be wearing a pink cast for the occasion. :(

    Maybe we have to insult mods to get it locked? You try it first. OK. DJAXX...your genorosity to these boards is unbearable. JonMDavis, I believe you broadcast copywritten material without the express written consent of MLB and WGN. YEAH!! That should ruffle some feathers around here!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Challenge them to a video game competition. Half the players on the Giants were adults already when Pong was introduced.

    None of these proposed moves happen until we get Willie Greene back.

    Disadvantage: We'd have to hear Dave Otto instead "You gotta be some kind of strong..." "I'll tell you what, if the Cubs load em up here and Augie Ojeda hits a grand slam, this is a whole new ball game"
  17. Andy
    I'd go and just laugh along and agree with any Sox fan that tells us how much we suck. Maybe if I felt like arguing I'd sarcastically ask when the last time one of their best players suffered a serious injury was.
  18. Andy
    Perfect game tonight for Schmidt.
  19. Andy
    You're thinking of Michael Fontenot. oh. wasn't there a 3rd guy in that trade?? Yes, a minor league pitcher who immediately retired.
  20. Andy
    Last White Sox pitcher to go on DL: Orlando Hernandez, 5/23/05.
  21. Andy
    Source?
  22. Andy
    Angel Guzman
  23. Andy
    Guz is giving up 715.
  24. Andy
    I agree unless the end result is Miguel Cabrera or similar.
  25. Andy
    Pippen, Grant and Rodman were obviously all very good, but I have a feeling you're referring to more than just them.
