Thank God for the wind... -

Clearly, he was actually TOO hot, dude. He was melting the batting helmets. Gotta give him a break or else those fish won't hunt.
-
And yet we get to be blssed with Cedeno's presence day in and day out.
-
That's one of the most frustrating things about Bonds...he was a lock to be remembered as one of the greatest of all time before the whole 'roids scandal, primarily because of this ability to see pitches almost inhumanly. Jerk or not, it's spectacular when he spots which pitches to hit like he did today.

Marshall at 27 pitches after 3, 1 k, no walks, 1 hit.

Kind words from Nevin on his way out

Full Article CLASS! You don't hear a lot of players leaving bitter. Who wouldn't want to play in Wrigley in front of great fans... Jacque Jones? LaTroy? CPatt? Hell, Sammy probably wouldn't be too keen to come trotting out again. -
Jacque Jones strikes out sucking.
-
Did the wind knock down Bonds' hit to CF, or was it not that high to begin with?
-
It's not blacked out for me. I have it on MLB EI. Man, what the hell? I have EI, and nothing is on. All the games are just listed on all the regional CSN and FSN channels I get, but they all went unavailable as soon as the pre-game ended.
-
So why exactly is this game blacked out nationally? Fox isn't showing anything.
-
Dusty is a bad manager. Yikes, huge brain fart on my part...hopefully I obviously meant Theriot instead of Bynum.
-
OFT. There's not a person here that WANTED Hill to fail like he did initially.
-
Oh my freakin' God. Dusty is sitting both Theriot and Murton today. What, did they play TOO well recently?
-
I never said he doesn't view it, I simply said he doesn't post on it. Like I said, he doesn't post here, or in the off chance he does, he doesn't make it known who he actually is. Anyone could be simply viewing this site...that shouldn't make the use of outrageous hyperbole somehow off limits because of the slim chance that the famous/public figure it's about might be peeping in. My basic point is me making ridiculous comments about Rich Hill doesn't suddenly open me up to continual snarky and borderline insulting comments from other posters who are not Rich Hill.
-
What makes you think that he doesn't? In theory, any public figure/famous person in the world could post here. Do we keep that in mind and ban making any disparaging comments about them?

Depressing Cubs factoid of the day:

Hey, I'm not making excuses for the guy. Just trying to answer honestly for the current crop of players. -
The guy is hot right now, but I definitely agree with making him the main IF utility player behind Izturis and, ideally, Soriano.

So what? That somehow magically gives you permission to continually and childishly snipe at other posters who have since happily and repeatedly said how wrong they were?
-
yeah, well, maybe you shouldn't have said that you wished rich hill would go to hell. that wasn't very cool either. As soon as Rich Hill posts here, I'll worry about it. Until then, don't worry about fighting his battles for him like you're his mother. There's not a single person here I can think of here that ranted about Hill's terrible pitching in his earlier starts that hasn't at least mentioned that it looks like they might be wrong now and that they're enjoying Hill's success. Yet despite that, there are still posters here who feel the inexplicable obligation to be as obnoxious as possible towards OTHER POSTERS here simply because they didn't jump to the same conclusion. If people were being stubborn in admitting they were wrong, hey, alright, I could kind of see the point. But hardly anyone is doing that...quite the opposite, in fact. Hill is doing well...great! People admitted they were wrong...great! People harping on other posters for not liking Hill earlier...pretty unecessary. Especially since we've now seen it from the same posters multiple times now. You made your point, we were wrong, we've mostly conceded to it very happily, now move on.

I suppose we need to take a collection to keep Fred on the road from April through October every year.
-
What the hell, man? Most of us bashing him earlier prefaced repeatedly that we WANT to be proven wrong. Now that we have been proven wrong so far, pretty much all of us are admitting we may have jumped the gun and praising Hill's stepping up to the ML level. These "told you so" posters are getting pretty tedious, especially since they're not really "catching" anyone at anything and really only seem to be wanting to annoy/embarass other posters. I mean, you pick two of my posts where I was clearly just ranting, mostly for comedic sake, and ignored the dozens of others where I actually explained why I didn't like Hill earlier and how I hoped he'd prove my apprehension wrong and all of the posts where I've specifically said he's shown that my previous opinions might very well be incorrect. Not cool.

Dusty apparently couldn't stand Maddux basically saying he's seeing better defense behind him now than he has in the last three months? I guess it could be seen as a dig by Maddux...I'd wish Dusty could be as clever when he's managing his own damn team.
