unfortunately for the purposes of this thread, he's neither an ace nor a big bat but he is an ass. lol, Morris thought Josh Hamilton was stealing signs from 2B the other night and walked off the mound and started arguing with him. Douche. I remember him talking a lot of crap about the Cubs back in '03 as well who cares if he talked crap about the cubs? mark prior talked a lot of crap about the cardinals that year too, none of us are complaining about it. it is a rivalry, by the way. still, no morris please. his numbers are a complete house of cards.

Other than the better version of Bo Hart at 2B, a productive second baseman playing the role of a right fielder, a utility guy playing the role of a starting shortstop and a black hole behind the plate, I completely agree. Oh yeah -- and the career minor leaguer masquerading as someone valuable enough to take away time in CF from the legit prospect. Cmon now..Bo Hart? Their ML #s arent even close. Sure you can say hes better but thats a low hurdle for him to compare to. Bo Hart had a 916 OPS over his first 116 PAs. Their numbers are actually strikingly similar Dig deeper. Im talking ML. MLB yes. they're still similar. Fontenot's age 26 season in the minors (the same year hart was called up) was slightly better than Hart's, but not by much at all.

RF is definitely one of this team's problems. it might not be the biggest problem, but a 703 OPS is nothing to be happy about, either. That ranks 9th in the NL. The Cubs are getting a .352 SLG from RF; that's just awful. We should look to upgrade there if we can, and I'd be willing to bet it's easier to find a significant upgrade in right than it is at short

Another Murton excuse on this site? No way... This isn't little Johnny trying to make the varsity roster so let's please do away with the pressure argument. This is professional sports....I would sure hope there's pressure. Murton was given every opportunity to be a starting corner outfielder and he didn't produce. If you don't produce, it's Lou's job to insert someone else who will - which is exactly what he is trying to find. Murton is a light hitting corner outfielder with a poor arm, average speed and a major defensive liability every time he steps on the field. Just because he knows how to take a pitch and has "upside" he should be given the benefit of the doubt and let him play out of this prolonged slump? I thought the fans wanted this team to win now?? It's one or the other. http://www.baseball-reference.com/m/murtoma01.shtml Don't know where to begin. well, he could begin at the splits page of the link you posted. he would then go to 2006, and then to the second half.

well that's one of the fastest innings that i can remember.
-
I remember that well. Specifically, they lost 8 in a row, then immediately turned it around and won 12 in a row. I don't recall any other team having such a long winning streak immediately on the heels of such a long losing streak without even a single game between the streaks. If I really strain my memory, I want to say that the streak was snapped when a player reached over the wall (not a jump, it was a very short wall) to take back a Sosa homer that would have saved the game for the Cubs with two outs in the ninth. pretty sure it was everyone's favorite recent Cubs RF: Jeromy Burnitz.

i thought they said Sunday on the broadcast yesterday. they'll probably hold off until after the ASB though, to try and scrounge up a deal for jones.

Kenny Lofton
Drew Doughty replied to B's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Lofton is not signed through next year. Griffey is in no way a center fielder at this stage in his career. He's slow and his arm is very average now. -
Sutcliffe and Karros (Sut especially) are AWFUL in the booth.
-
i want stanleynickels instead.
-
Mark Grant is mildly entertaining in the Padres booth. that's all i've got.

Sold. And where would Dunn play? Please don't say RF. And please don't say move Soriano to RF for Dunn in LF. So basically don't say anything. kthxbye. yeah, we wouldn't want to do anything to disturb this tremendously productive outfield situation we've got set up. Nice sarcasm there. Soriano and Floyd are putting up the #'s. At MOST, you're going to get someone to platoon with Floyd. Pie needs to be playing most of the time and adding another OF means he's likely demoted. And I don't want to see that. Catcher or SS is a much better position to focus on. i don't get why people are still saying floyd is putting up numbers. his 300 average and decent obp are both nice, but he is not hitting for power at all. His bat is worthless in a corner outfield position, especially since he's mediocre defensively.

It's between Soriano and Ramirez for me. I went with Sori.

when i become MLB commissioner, i'm appointing a league central office to review all close calls. That play gets reviewed by the central office, lee is declared out, and the game is over. As things are now, I'd just uphold the Phillies' protest of the game and give them the win. After all, it's not a case of "well the game might have played out differently after that point." If the correct call is made at first, the Phillies win right there. The Phillies can't protest the game. You can't protest a judgement call.
-
Who says it has to be one or the other? Theriot would be a nice super-util guy off the bench. He's not starter quality.
-
yes. do you know where your wallet is?
-
this is possibly my favorite post ever.
-
why is he licking his gun
-
his real name is Exavier Prente Logan Odd spelling of Xavier. I don't really like it. Nook's better. His whole name is terrible. What were his parents thinking? I ask that question quite often. I covered a game with a kid named Sjohn once. Pronounced Sean. Terrible. There's a kid whose name is pronounced Ashola. Kudos if you get the joke or if you can figure out how that name is actually spelled.

You know oddly enough I have gameday audio but when I started it up tonight it ran a video promo for someone and now has a screen display on it like window media player - never seen it do that before. Wonder if mlb made some changes. yeah, i had the same thing happen to me.

dave otto explains that bad outings make your ERA go up. yay!

Ron hates RFK, so he's not going this year.
