  1. Bob, that comic's called the Family Circus, not Circle. :lol:
  2. Really nice 1st inning for Teddy Roosevelt.
  3. Lohse's ERA would be half of what it is now if LaRussa hadn't stupidly let Lohse start the 8th against Milwaukee last week. He gave up 2 runs without getting an out.
  4. B-R has no record of him leaving the Cardinals' organization after the former PTBNL OPS'd over .800 for two straight years in 05 and 06. I'm in a very anti-Cardinals mood for some reason today.
  5. .388 BA, 1.281 OPS for Generic White Cardinals' Minor League Outfielder X.
  6. That's his third RBI of the season, go figure I love how he was so bad no one wanted him all off season. The Cardinals sign him and right away he is as good as anyone the first month of the season. Unreal. I don't care how good a pitching coach Dave Duncan is. You can't make EVERY crappy pitcher you bring in good. It doesn't happen. I still have yet to hear an explanation as to why the Cardinals got a nice season out of Braden Looper last year throwing over twice as many innings as he'd ever thrown in his career.
  7. Since the Sox have a DH advantage, I'm going to go ahead and call the Cubs the best offense of 2008 so far.
  8. I really, really hope Felix can put some good ABs together and scratch out a couple of hits. Hopefully he can make this job his for good.
  9. Wow. Any other year I'd be screaming about tempting the fates, but with these guys, who knows?
  10. Allen's a real good player, but I doubt he's worth that much. That's a king's ransom. Also, in other news, I heard the Bengals turned down an offer of two first round picks for Ocho Cinco. Not a good move on their part methinks. I'll say. That's a horrible move. They must not be willing to get rid of him.
  11. Gerald Perry is a miracle worker. I also think Fukudome's approach at the plate has to some extent accelerated the transition to patience. If the Cubs keep being patient, they're going to be a pretty damn hard team to beat.
  12. This is kind of an interesting article. The Cubs wouldn't have definitively gone after him, but I find it odd that Santana apparently never knew we were interested because the Twins never told him.

  14. Garnett: 18.8 PPG, 9.2 RPG, 3.4 APG, 1.2 BPG Jefferson: 21.0 PPG, 11.1 RPG, 1.4 APG, 1.5 BPG C'mon now, let's be honest here. There isn't a single rational person that would take Jefferson over Garnett at this stage, regardless of what those numbers say. Plenty of players have put up big numbers for bad teams. This also isn't baseball; defense matters a great deal (as, to a lesser extent, do intangibles). Garnett is a much better player at this time than Jefferson. The above poster was correct, Garnett will be in the Hall of Fame and it's not likely Jefferson will join him. I'm not arguing for Jefferson being as good as KG, I'm just giving one example of KG not being the most valuable player in the league this year. KG had a wonderful season for a great team, and I'm sure he did in fact have some intangible impact on the team too, but there is simply no way I can justify voting KG the MVP, especially in a season with three otherworldly candidates the caliber of Kobe, CP, and LeBron.
  15. Garnett: 18.8 PPG, 9.2 RPG, 3.4 APG, 1.2 BPG Jefferson: 21.0 PPG, 11.1 RPG, 1.4 APG, 1.5 BPG
  16. Yep. Rockets are cooked. They would have to take 2 of 3 in Utah to win the series and I just don't see it happening.
  17. I didn't see it mentioned, but even as good as Theriot has been this year, Ronny is still blowing his numbers away (albeit in a much smaller sample). This is a good problem to have, for what that's worth.
  18. If ever there was a great time for Lilly to get off the schneid, Tuesday's the day. C'mon Ted, revisit 2007 Lilly, pitch us to a win and let's head to Colorado on a tidal wave of momentum.
  19. Absolutely. Ronny had plenty of stretches where he looked even worse than Felix has at times. If he can put it together, you'd better bet that Felix can too. After the Gerald Perry-led transformation of this team from the beginning of 2007 to now, I won't rule anything out.
  20. If anyone finds a pic of Pie grinning after his homer, I want it for my sig.
  21. Seriously - these teams are supposed to compete with the Cubs?
  22. Is Z finally "getting it?" I really think so. This is going to be a really magical season. How sweet would it be for you to work a WS game? He probably wouldn't shut up for weeks if the Cubs made it that far, haha. Great stuff to hear from Z. He's on his way to a Cy if he can back it up on the mound.
