    If a position player does all of that, he probably gets 3-5 games, which is actually 3-5 games. But like you said, this is basically a 1-game suspension at best. Like I said right after the whole thing happened, suspensions for starting pitchers are always a joke and are nowhere near as bad as those for position players. They seem worse because they get more games but that's before you factor in that a starter only pitches one out of five games. Theoretically, any suspension for a starting pitcher should be five times as long as the suspension a position player would get for the same offense. Unfortunately, that's not how MLB hands out its suspensions. On the other hand, it seems patently unfair to me to have a pitcher miss more than one of 30-some games they play in versus a position player missing 3-5 of 162. The math still adds up to hurting the pitcher more in that fashion.

    No, Izturis was not a good fielder. Not for us anyway. Blanco actually is. I'm totally in favor of dumping Miles and keeping Blanco around as a late-inning defense guy. And he's probably just as good a hitter as Miles is.

    That would be outstanding. Oh my lord, I'd lose my mind. Too good to be true.

    There is no way on Earth that a non-rusty MJ lets the Bulls lose to Orlando. They only lost in 6, one of those losses coming when Jordan turned the ball over on late possessions back to back times, which never ever happens. Yes, the Rockets swept Orlando. No, that doesn't really mean much of anything in relation to how they'd have played the Bulls.

    Does Heilman have a 'pitches thrown' incentive in his contract? Someone get on this.
  6. Andy
    Just looked it up, he never did. Good GOD, Heilman. SEVEN TO [expletive] NOTHING.

    If you mean the 3-0, it was outside.

    I know from experience that Logansport, Indiana, is NOT 'nearby' Chicago. It's a good hour and 15 minutes from South Bend, which in turn is an hour and a half from Chicago.

    With a little time to reflect, it's kind of unbelievable that Tim somehow thinks Chicago was the first place Soriano played left. For that matter, he didn't even start off in left.
  10. Andy
    Tim just said Soriano played 2B for the Nationals and apparently is unaware he was in Texas for two seasons.

    The next time someone comes up from the minors, David Patton had better be the casualty. I'm tired of playing one man down.

    He then went on to talk about how you can't hit the ball under the wind. Really interesting stuff. Banner day for Tim.

    I can say pretty definitively that I'd have no quarrels with Miles being dumped and Andres Blanco kept around specifically for defense. That was sweet.

    McCarver just called our radio PBP guy Pat Kelly.

    Honestly, I think the high moral standard comes from obnoxious sportswriters and politicians with nothing better to do more than from the fans. With McGwire and Bonds, it was blatantly obvious they were using PEDs. Yet, their fans loved them and to this day still defend those guys. Go Milton go! You got your facts a little screwed up there man... Giants fans ignored the facts about Bonds, Us Card fans did'nt find out Mac was juicing until he had retired. Now that I know about it I hate his red headed guts, as do MANY St. Louisans. Why did'nt you mention Sosa? Because there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever outside the anecdotal that he ever did any of it, and dear God, please let's not have this debate in a game thread.

    Pierre Pierres.

    If you want money, leave St. Louis. If you want your numbers to inexplicably stay well better than they would be with the other 29 teams, stay there. Toss-up. BTW, I want a Sotoslam here.

    Go Cajuns!!!!

    Ah, a good old fashioned failure to score a runner from 3rd with 0 outs.
  21. Andy
    Sneaky power!
  22. Andy
    Ok, I LOL'd.

    The catcalls at Fox's defense look more and more ridiculous every time Scales and Fontenot flub a play over there.

    Maddux for Izturis was Jim Hendry's second worst trade for this team. I'm not sure about that. It's not like that trade really affected us that badly. The 06 team sucked either way and the 07 team made the playoffs despite it. Right now it seems like the DeRo trade is worse than that one. Oh boy.
  25. Andy
    SUCK ON THAT, SLAP NASTY!
