    God, FINALLY one of those tips/putbacks goes in.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    For some reason I thought it was Millar chucking banana chips at Pie instead of Luke Scott.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    I'm on my way.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Man, very tired of "young Bucks."
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Blaaaaaaaah. The whole arena is covered in fear.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    Hey, I'm obviously a baseball dummy, as usual, but it's not like I'm suddenly anti-DH.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Chicago's hot streak of opponent injuries hopefully continuing right now.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Somebody will score at some point.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Wait, how has my stance changed?
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Hey, I just want a way to add a decent hitter to the lineup who was too old/bad/fat to cut it defensively. Clearly I'm not down with having to think about it at all.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Chicago crowds seem to always be so terrified when they're watching any kind of a big game, no matter what the sport.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    They're determined to score every way possible minus the dong.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    They wouldn't have to PH, though it means the pitcher does then have to hit. You are just forfeiting your DH rights from the time your SP leaves. Kind of like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designated_hitter#Forfeiting_the_right_to_a_DH Ew, no thanks.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    I'm genuinely confused by what you were suggesting then; weren't you saying that the DH would have to be PH for when the starting pitcher comes out of the game?
  15. Sammy Sofa
    That strikes me as very unlikely. The NL DH is tantamount to the end of pitchers distinguishing themselves with the bat. That's not much of a loss. It's not surprising that you think so, but I think it contributed a lot to making Zambrano fun as a player. Of course; everyone loved seeing him hit. But he was a very, very rare beast in that regard.

    Man, if you're thinking I know everything then prepare to be disappointed. A LOT.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    D'oh, that's right. Can the pitcher be the DH? But sticking with the rest, it seems kind of goofy to have to pinch hit for the DH if the starting pitcher exits the game early.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    The DH is usually hitting in place of the pitcher, but not always. Besides, let's say the player they're hitting in place off goes down with an injury in the second; they're supposed to now put in a pinch-hitter instead? If they're hitting for the pitcher, do they have to change the DH every time the pitcher changes?
  20. Sammy Sofa
    They already suckered Lester in; take Ross out for a drive to a farm in the country. What's Lester going to do?
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Plus it's not like teams wouldn't still have the option to use a rare freak like Zambrano who both wants to hit and can hit.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    His point might have been that some pitchers prefer pitching in the NL b/c they actually want to hit. Yes, I know;I sincerely doubt there are many MLB pitchers that are going to turn down better deals to pitch in the AL, regardless of what they prefer. Guys that go out of their way to actually do that over the course of their careers are likely very scattered outliers. So, no, it's not likely going to be a union issue because of "NL pitchers."
  23. Sammy Sofa
    There's no such thing as an "NL Pitcher." "Man, there is NO WAY I will ever ever ever pitch in the AL; it's a lock that I will be pitching forever in the league I'm pitching in right now."
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Honestly, Lake would probably be a better fastball reliever than Schlitter.
