  1. I don't get why anyone would give up a sandwich pick for Gregg when he's been this bad this year and is on the wrong side of 30.
  2. It has to be somebody else, though. It has to. At this point, sending Gregg out there is hanging him out to dry, because he clearly cannot do the job.
  3. Unfortunately, there's little reason to believe that won't be disappointing. I'd talk about Carolina, but our season ended the day we re-signed a guy who turned the ball over 7 times his last game out.
  4. I'll keep watching this year, too, gotta hold out hope. But man oh man, it's not looking good.
  5. just stop, please. The one year that calls for UMFan to be his old self, and this is the year he goes optimist on us. :)
  6. If our rival was a hopelessly tormented fan base with a horrid closer, I'd probably hang around too. But they're not. They're a recent champion with Ryan Franklin pitching his way to a Bob Gibson ERA and the greatest player of all time.
  7. Maybe the Cardinals are just better than us? Are they Kyle Blanks better? Seriously, what happened to Gregg? The Cardinals have turned Ryan Franklin into steroid-era Eric Gagne and we picked up a supposedly half-decent closer and he has been awful. No homers given up last year until Ward and he's given up 12 this year. There is no explanation anyone can give me for such a dramatic spike.
  8. He can't close anymore. He just can't. He's horrible. I know his numbers say otherwise, but he keeps doing this, over and over and over again, and he can't be allowed to.
  9. Why in the holy name of [expletive] are we walking the guy in front of Adrian Gonzalez in the 9th inning of a 1-0 game? WHY?
  10. Time for the "Name a MLB player with a SLG higher than his OPS!" game Forget SLG, Albert's OBP is closing in on Miles's OPS.
  11. I don't think anyone sensed flukiness last year until the playoffs.
  12. The 3-4-5 of LA, the best team in baseball, going down on 4 pitches in the 9th against Trever Miller and Ryan Franklin, for the Dodgers' 4th loss in 5 games against the Cardinals. I almost laughed as I typed that. It's a joke.
  13. Was that 4 pitches for LA? Unbefreakinglievable. What a bunch of clowns.
  14. When Franklin played for Seattle, probably. This is a different pitcher.
  15. Hold on to your hats. Manny will bat in the 9th for LA against Mr. 1.93 ERA Trever Miller. Manny will face Franklin I wonder how far below 2.00 his ERA is.
  16. Hold on to your hats. Manny will bat in the 9th for LA against Mr. 1.93 ERA Trever Miller.
  17. Some idiot on the Cardinals just went 1st to 3rd when Russell Martin tossed the ball about 20 feet short of second on a SB attempt and it bounced into center. Good lord.
  18. Aramis Ramirez is the only Cub that I have absolute confidence in in those spots.
  19. Just once I'd love for the Cardinals to get bitten in the rear by leaving Carpenter out there too long. Maybe it'll be here. That's a no.
  20. Just once I'd love for the Cardinals to get bitten in the rear by leaving Carpenter out there too long. Maybe it'll be here.
  21. The fact that Ron didn't know Chad Gaudin had gone to the Yankees was so predictable, I only mildly chuckled when he said it.
  22. Once the AP poll comes out on Saturday, I'll post the Week 1 thread. 19 days until Sept. 5th
