    Just say "no" to Ichiro.

    Whoopedy-doo. I know I've been harsh on the guy, but I'm sick of his emotional issues and I'm worried about his worsening negative stats...anything that puts it in his head that he "deserves" ace money and years when the Cubs and he iron out his deal annoys the hell out of me. I'm really praying that Guzman turns the corner a la Hill so we can trade Z for a serious offensive upgrade.

    [smartass]Heh...all of those wild throws going into CF when he's trying to get someone stealing 2nd, I guess.[/smartass]

    Lou has been waiting to break up the two left-handers in the rotation ever since they got put together. Plus, they decided that they'd rather let Guzman get his first start out of the way at home against a worse offense than have to face a team like the Phillies at their place for his first start. Heh...then put Hill #1 where he belongs, Z at #2 and Lilly #3. ? The order really means absolutely nothing. Yes and no. In the grand scheme, it means nothing but a superficial form of ranking the quality of your pitchers...but, since Lou does want to seperate the lefties, voila, best of both words. Ultimately, I wanna kinda see Zambrano get some added reminder that he is not this team's ace.

    Feh.

    He's doing fine. I think showing he can play there will make him more appealing to other teams. He's looking decent at the plate again, too. Pie really needs to head back down and play daily until Jacque can be moved in a decent deal. CF is fine with Jacque playing it.

    How long is that going to last? It's like the new towel joke.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Yeah, he was looking pretty awesome.

    Why are they playing with fire having Jones in CF? He's looked very good out there and he's played it before. He's also pretty hot offensively right now...Jones, quite frankly, is at the bottom of my concerns for this team. Let him play and show off and hopefully Hendry will get some callers. Pie needs to head back down and play on a daily basis some more.

    I don't see the problem in letting Santo doing the stretch even if he doesn't do radio anymore. In fact, it's a great way to keep him involved with the team he lives and dies with. Look, I just don't think Santo's health is going to stand up to him getting out to the ballpark on a regular basis. When he can make it, great, let him sing. I just don't think making him the fulltime conductor isn't any kind of answer because I think, sadly, his health and age are going to not allow him to do it any kind of fulltime basis. Then we're back to the guest conductors, which I don't mind. I think playing a recording is incredibly dull.

    He had two outs that would have been long gone if the wind wasn't blowing in. Still got a double and a single on top of that...he was mashing today, and taking some pitches.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Letting Santo do it is all well and good (it was a ton of fun being there today for his return), but we gotta face fact that he's not gonna be around working for that much longer due to his health, and then we're right back to this question. Personally, I don't mind the guest conductors. You get some duds, but by and large it's still fun.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    I was laughing my butt off watching that replay during the game. Even Len & Bob were getting a kick out of it.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    A couple of months? I know a baseball season is kind of long, but come on.

    I'm not so sure Zambrano gets traded. Besides, CC Sabathia is also going to be on the market if the Indians are out of it, and Rich Harden will probably also be on the market. I don't think the Cubs are ballsy enough to do it, but I'd still move Z for an impact bat, then try and trade off Jones and a reliever and a couple prospects for a starter. Imagine if we did something like Z for A-Rod then got Harden for EPatt + a pitching prospect(of varying value depending on what the view of Harden's health is from Veal/Gallagher to someone like Adkins). Soriano Murton A-Rod Lee Ramirez Barrett Pie DeRosa Hill,Harden,Lilly,Marquis,Guzman/other young arm It'd be a gamble on Harden's health, but with that offense... Sign me up yesterday.

    Whichever major masher Zambrano nets us goes in at #3, Lee goes to #2, and we dominate with the bat.

    Man, this makes that 1st loss to the Pirates that much more frustrating.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Wow, nice job, Ward.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    It's gotta be embarassing to see a guy like Soriano adapt pretty well to his newer OF spots compared to a "Gold Glover" like Cesar stinking it up hideously in his natural spot.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Izturius sucks at life. What a waste of a uniform. I'd honestly rather have Neifi.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Little chin music for ya!

    Floyd left the dugout. Snell, you jerk.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Because the home team lost the lead that inning and according to the rules need to have their go with the bats before a game can be officially called a W or L.
