    Half of that 90's list is pretty embarassing, too.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Your assesment of McGwire as a hitter never fails to be hilariously wrong.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Truly tragic. We should all salute the bravery of Fernando Perez.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Haw-haw! Z got lumped in with the scrubs and shipped off.

    They don't have to do such a thing, but there's pretty much no chance they would trade Theriot and not callup Castro. I know, and it's annoying. The more things change...
  6. Sammy Sofa
    I don't understand why it's often approached on this board like the Cubs must bring Castro up if Theriot is traded. Why can't they trade Theriot and keep Castro in the minors? I'd happily take starting a combo of Blanco/Barney if it meant getting a good return for Theriot (ideally prospect(s)). It's not like they can't eat the crappy production from SS if it means building for the future. This isn't exactly a team that peple are expecting great things from.

    It was either Frey or the steroids.

    Howard's contract is up at the same time as Pujols. Howard for Pujols is just silly. Then this is even more ridiculous. ESPN...feh.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    RBI single for Castro with his 2nd AB.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Why would the Cards do this? The only reasoning I can think of is that some kind of understanding has already been established between the organization and Pujols as to what he's going to want to re-sign with them and they're simply not going to pay it, even though that seems ridiculous given what he means to that team. How long is Howard signed for? How does this make any sense?
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Castro in the game now. Ties up the game with an RBI double to LF in his first AB. JUST THE FACTS.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    I can't tell. For some reason it also seems like the guy who comes back with a bat has some kind of unusually gigantic bat.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    And it ends with a rhyme. Whimsical!
  14. Sammy Sofa
    I was pretty indifferent to McGwire before, but now I kinda want to stand up and cheer for him.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    My argument is that Smoltz is not terribly good at this point and that at best one has to cherrypick starts of his from last year to try and argue otherwise. Look at his splits from last season: he simply wasn't very good in any month. Yeah, he was throwing strikes...but he was too often throwing very hittable strikes. Combine that with what appears to be his inability to pitch on consecutive days and he simply does not make a very good candidate to go back to his relieving ways.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    You completely misunderstood that.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    That and he was horrible outside of a very brief stretch with the Cardinals.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    I'd definitely prefer that option given the likely available scenarios.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Doesn't sound too serious. Given his history it makes sense that they're not going to take any chances over a simple spring training game.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Jesus Christ, it's like night and day between Len and Hawk/Stone. God forbid you want to know anything about the Cubs players, including anything as basic as their name.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    The guy was a hell of a player at his position, but I really can't see how he'd be near the top of any kind of list of the greatest football players ever.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    This is true.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    wtf are you talking about? ??? Umm I'm talking about Merlin Olsen being one of the best players in NFL history. How huge is your "best" list?
  24. Sammy Sofa
    His rhetoric and many of his in-game decisions seemingly deferring to variations of "small ball" thinking too often for my liking.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    For me it depends on how hands-on he is with their hitting development, and I honestly have no idea how he is in that area.
