    Fixed... Brett Jackson or McNutt or Vitters if they get called up would be fun to watch as well. Pena on a hot streak as well and Garza with his 14 H & K/9. Everyone else, well... ehhh Yeah, who gives a [expletive] about that hack Soto or that lazy guy Aramis Ramirez.

    Probably just a slow start. He'll get plenty of PA this year in the role he's in.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Right. Grabow's perfectly serviceable if used correctly, too.

    CLUBHOUSE CANCERS ARE A VERY REAL PROBLEM.

    Skiles sucks because he's shitty at managing his teams. He can be an amazing strategist all he wants; he can't manage guys for [expletive]. Boozer isn't the key person that Thibs need to have on his side. Boozer can end up being as pissy as he wants; it's not Boozer's team. He's a hired gun. Thibs has the necessary guys on his side and they want to play for him. If the Bulls' players are the type to turn on a coach when they suck then [expletive] 'em. I don't want a babysitter who is going to coddle them and I don't want an idiot hardass like Skiles. The Bulls are lucky they have a smart hardass who is a fantastic strategist and actually knows how to manage his team.

    I hope he isn't too much like Scott Skiles. Every teams Skiles has coaches grew tired of him within a few years. I don't remember any Bulls players ever reacting to or about Skiles like you're hearing the current ones talk about Thibs. They seem to be totally onboard with his approach to the game. From what I remember, they were early on with Skiles too. But that sort of coaching wears on you. Boers and Bernstein made the point that Phil Jackson learned not to coach every possession. What he's doing is fine this year, but I am worried long term. And I say worried because obviously Tom is a great coach and I want to see him in Chicago long term. Nah, you never heard anything like this with Skiles. Just the basic, perfunctory backing up the coach rhetoric. The other huge difference is how much better a coach Thibs is than Skiles. People got fed up with Skiles because he was a hardass but he wasn't that good a coach. You've also got your key core players, Noah and Rose, on board 100% with Thibs early on in their careers.

    No need to be sarcastic; nobody cares about your fantasy teams.

    Fuckin' awesome season. Wake me up when Round 2 starts.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    He had a really nice one earlier, too, where he got a force out at 2nd by snagging a ball heading into LF and then firing to 2B as he was running away from it.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Pour it on, boys!

    In fairness to Pena, there are little league fields that Fuld's HR wouldn't have got out of. And Pena's mostly faced lefties so far this year due to the minor injury. He'll be mashing soon enough.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Excellent.

    Man, I have no idea how long Barney can keep this up, but I am loving it.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Until the next stiff breeze, which would land him on the DL again. I think Guzman is to the point where he can no longer be depended on as an option. They're not depending on him for anything. Anything he can bring will be a bonus, and they'd be foolish not to try.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    I agree. I wasn't arguing against Marshall.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    If he can get past Lee, he should be good. I just wish Quade would look at Marshall as the setup guy. He's a [expletive] idiot To be fair, I think most managers would be that way, sadly. Most of them are going to want/expect their setup guy to have a blow-it-by-them pitch.

    Pretty nervous about Wood pitching in this game.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Well, that's kind of the point; Barney shouldn't have even been the one trying to make the catch, especially with a guy on 3rd and only 1 out.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Rammy's gonna give them some more breathing room in a bit.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Can't really chalk this up on Quade yet. Zambrano's been cruising and up until that HR the Astro's offense consisted of some dinky singles, a bunt that refused to go over the line and Colvin not making an easy out. They actually ended up getting the out at second on the Colvin play. Who knows if the Lee would have tagged up and scored from third, though. Either way, there was still going to be the runner on first and Downs hit a HR after so that likely doesn't change much. Still frustrating though. With Colvin 80 feet behind first and Lee on third? Yeah, no way Lee is sent if Colvin makes that catch.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Come on. I've been pissed plenty at him so far, but this is very different from the Dempster games. Up until the HR it would have been stupid to pull Z.

    Crud.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    That's on Colvin. He's got a much better vantage point and needs to call off the 2B.
