  1. The thing is, he's not going to. Lee has been horrible for the better part of 11 straight months. There's really no reason to expect he'll suddenly snap out of it now. I'd frankly be overjoyed if we could just get back the 2007 Lee that got on base but never homered. He'd be a huge improvement on the current model.
  2. That's the closest to the top I've been at any point in an NSBB HR Derby contest. Needless to say I doubt it lasts!
  3. I disagree with you completely but really hope Kenny Williams saw this post and only this post out of this thread.
  4. Bobby Cox too. Because I'm an unabashed homer, his 2008 season removed Edmonds from any all-douche team, past or future, for me. I think anyone that played for the 2005 White Sox or 2006 Cardinals (Edmonds depending on your opinion of him) earns douche points from Cubs fans.
  5. If we could somehow play our way into the 5 seed it would be awesome. Bulls/Hawks would be very entertaining IMO. I think the Bulls will win one, perhaps two games off one of the top three teams. Oddly enough, I like our chances better against the LeBrons than Orlando or Boston.
  6. Ryan Theriot had no chance whatsoever of turning two there and I'm moderately shocked anyone is saying he did. I would have been incensed at him if he'd tried because there's no way on God's green earth he'd have done it, he probably wouldn't have even gotten the out at 2nd. He made a poor throw to home, Koyie Hill didn't do the best job corralling it, and Weeks beat him. Frankly, the game was lost with Lou's insane managing and our lack of timely hitting, not because of that play.
  7. I for one am ecstatic we threw out the idea of signing Kerry Wood two minutes into the offseason and then ended up with someone way worse for 2M less.
  8. And not that it particularly matters, if we win out we could get the 6 seed. Philly has Cleveland twice in this last stretch.
  9. Signing mediocre veterans right after they leave the Cardinals on a high note is a stupid idea. (And yeah, Looper had a losing record, blah blah blah. Fact is, he was still much better than he should've been by any logical reason in that role.) As long as Harden is somewhat effective, we'll be fine.
  10. We hit 4 or 5 line shots at Astros outfielders, they win on a bunch of seeing-eye BS. Sounds about right.
  11. Hint: When I can tell on TV that he's safe, you are an idiot to call him out. How many times out of 100 does Tejada even make a decent play on that ball?
  12. Yep, this is definitely the 'crush the ball right at people' game.
  13. Put the Astros in the http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e67/ndistops/Dumpster.jpg
  14. For now, Harangody seems to appear headed back to school, although Mike Brey, in an apparent bid to make certain he loses his job at the end of next season, has recommended that he test the waters: Link
  15. Meh. As long as they don't finish ahead of the Cubs, I don't give a crap where they finish. Actually, to be completely honest, I would love to see a Cubs/Cards NLCS. I don't mind the Cardinals most years, but the last few years they've made no effort whatsoever to have a contending team, and I'm kind of tired of seeing them be in the playoff race into September despite that (and in one case win the damn World Series).
  16. The voters declared Michael Beasley ineligible for the award for reasons we have not yet been told.
  17. My recap is posted on the front page if you'd like to check it out.
  18. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=52415 Oh my god how did that sneak past me all this time
  19. The Cardinals are way too high in the standings in that picture. :)
  20. Tyler Hansbrough's done a nice job in this tournament of proving he's no more than the 3rd best player on Carolina. I've been saying that all year, but no Carolina fan will listen to me. Oh, well.
  21. Wait, why are we awarding Bradley black guys?
