    Do you guys have any idea how many Theriots there are in South Louisiana?
  2. Abe Frohman
    Just wondering why he hasn't played yet in the LA series.
  3. Abe Frohman
    Hold on, it must be done.... LF Soriano RF Abreu SS Rodriguez 3B Ramirez 1B Lee CA Barrett CF Pie/Pagan 2B Theriot
  4. Abe Frohman
    Dempster, Jones, & Zambrano for Abreu and A-Rod?

    It would almost be better to buy a Sosa t-shirt/jersey and cross out the name and write "Marquis" in it's place.

    From what I hear, the policy at Shannon's is that you are not allowed to be in there without a drink in hand. At least that is what my buddy the Anhauser-Busch rep told me.

    I may be interested in the Wednesday tickets. Too lazy to peruse this thread for info on them. Where are they and how much? g

    One thing I do remember from the Busines Law courses I took a decade ago, is that you sue everyone in a case like this (if you are going to sue). The defendants will work out who is liable. Common sense doesn't always translate into what is the law, and in this case the lawsuit seems like madness. [/b]

    That's actually a pretty good idea. It would probably get old quick the way he would ask the other managers to kneel before the game at the lineup swaps, though.

    I like the smartassery.
  11. Abe Frohman
    Well worded, no?
  12. Abe Frohman
    That's a great idea. Even if you have to throw in Marshall or Murton.

    agreed that catch was only necessary because he was playing 3 steps behind 2nd base at the time If you can play a shallow CF and still get back to make those catches - that is a defensive plus, not something to make fun of as setting oneself up for highlight reel catches. Jim Edmonds was a badass CFer.

    I have to be honest - I don't like the idea of hitting Soriano 2 in the order with Theriot leading off. I think the lineup would be much stronger if it were Soriano 1 and Theriot 2. Or this: SS Theriot CF Pagan 1B Lee 3B Ramirez LF Soriano RF Floyd or Murton CA Barrett 2B DeRosa I would absolutely keep Jones out of the OF. How a man can play ML baseball and throw the way he does from the OF is a mystery to me. And Soriano needs to learn how to catch the ball with 2 hands and stop jumping up right before catching the ball, or it is going to cost the Cubs a stupid out one day soon.

    With all the visa problems they are having, that might be a great idea. They have 4 or 5 guys who can't play because they can't clear papers or something. They would sell out if Walker joined them. Not going to happen, though - I think he wants to spend a little time with his family.

    I saw Todd Saturday and think he must have been giving that interview over his phone as he was saying the exact same things. He was a good Cub and I wish him the best. Someone will pick him up, I hope.
  17. Abe Frohman
    That would be a HELL of a throwdown. I'd pay to see it.
  18. Abe Frohman
    In addition, Todd Walker's wife is expecting a baby. Not that they will be in any kind of financial jeopardy, but just sayin...
  19. Abe Frohman
    I'd rather have Pagan.....
  20. Abe Frohman
    Hmmmmmmmm.

    The problem is worrying about the running game. Top of the order should be about OBP, first and foremost. The running game is vastly overrated. I think the point is to have guys on 2nd and/or 3rd when Lee & Ramirez come up. The point is to get on in the first place. Getting to 2nd/3rd is a bonus. Theriot can get on and score on a Soriano double. Theriot's value is his ability to get on base, more than anything else. Having Soriano in the two hole does not make Theriot less valuable. The point is scoring runs. That starts with getting on base, and getting runners over. Soriano isn't the type of hitter who is going to hit behind the runner and try to get him over for the 3 and 4 guys. That's what I'm sayin.

    It happens. No one knows when.

    Clutch is laughed at because it is not a player intangible. "Clutch" does not make you a better hitter. It's more or less f*cking luck. There is a such thing as a clutch play or a clutch hit, but not a clutch player. HUH? That's not true.
  25. Abe Frohman
    He obviously doesn't have a noodle, but he doesn't have a Howitzer either. I am sure he could cut it, and I am all for it if playing RF keeps him in the lineup - but my point is that he is suited better for LF than RF. Having a stronger armed guy in RF is absolutely NOT asinine. Have you ever made that throw from deep right to 3rd base? If you can hit that on a line, you have talent. Soriano could do that, so I have always wondered why they were not working him out in RF in Spring Training. If you think about it, late in a close game is when a player is REALLY going to consider when and when not to run on an OFers arm. When you have a Dawson, Vladimir Guerrero, or any other strong armed RFer - you are going to stay at 2nd instead of running on him. You can't tell me that is not invaluable.
