    I was also wondering about this due to the weather this offseason.

    lock this abomination of a thread

    why would Fukodome feel obligated to do any of those things? does Derek Jeter drop a lot of sac bunts for the Yankees? Because Jeter didn't play in Japan?
  5. DiamondMind
    I think Lou's point is he doesn't want Fukudome to be obligated to bunt, hit and run, hit to the right side with less than 2 outs, etc etc. He wants him to drive in runs, either 3rd or 5th in the order. Fukudome has hit 3rd his entire career, so I'm sure comfortability is factoring into the decision as well.

    to be honest, I like it.

    Link Crisp is now asking to be traded if he is not starting for Boston.
  8. DiamondMind
    The english language cannot express how much I just do not care at this point. He doesn't play SS, so what is the damn point of trading anyone to upgrade over (I assume) DeRosa. I just don't freaking get it.

    lawrence holmes is awesome, on a side note

    Why is it no big deal if people like Aramis take part in [expletive] fighting and Michael Vick is massacred for dog fighting? I realize the differences, the legal issue, the fact that Vick was the ringleader in his case, but to say 'who cares' to cockfighting ignores the issue of why these 'sports' are illegal in the US - they are inhumane. I realize your point, but come on man, we EAT chickens. We don't eat fried dog... I'd also place the mental capacity of pit bulls just a bit ahead of a chicken...
  12. DiamondMind
    on a side note, aramis has the girliest voice. I cant picture him cheering for his [expletive].
  13. DiamondMind
    It's legal in the DR. End of story imo.

    Seriously, good job man. I read the entire post and have to say I learned quite a few things from it, which hopefully was your intention. Thanks for writing this!

    I still want to know why we're devoting 200 pages to a non-existent 2B problem, and why the Cubs office has been the same for well...forever. Grudzielanek, Walker, DeRosa...none of them are/were great but they're all more than adequate. And all this time SS has been a black hole. I just don't get it, I really don't. Where's the 200 page thread calling attention to our complete lack of anything resembling a competent SS? It's cliche, but I've always been a believer of building teams up the middle (C, 2B, SS, CF) and it always seems like the Cubs do the exact opposite.

    This is definitely factoring in to Sammy's desire for increased playing time, in my opinion. Whether it's true or not, the average fan probably assumes Sammy is off the juice now, if he ever was on it, so maybe he's trying to prove something by playing 'clean'. Who knows.

    EQR = 5 * OUT * EQA^2.5 At the risk of sounding stupid, I'm failing to understand. You figured out what the 5 is? What?

    Well, we can debate sarcasm all day, but I think we both agree the general intellectual value of posts is much higher here. :P
  20. DiamondMind
    Too bad this board is dripping with sarcasm just about every thread too, but oh well. Well, to clarify, none of it is intended to personally offend someone. And if it is, Modzilla is on it pretty quickly.
  21. DiamondMind
    I actually defected here *from* desipio. I just got sick of them after a while. Sarcasm is fun, but not when its every. single. thread.
  22. DiamondMind
    Good point.

    NSBB, the only forum where a topic can shift from the tigers' projected offensive prowess to the weight of the colossus of clouts bat

    The one thing throughout this entire Roberts discussion that I can't believe isn't mentioned more (by the media, not NSBB) is the lack of a SS. Do we really need Brian Roberts? What is the purpose of being held ransom by Angelos and his goons when what we really need is to get over the idea that Theriot is some sort of unquantifiable 'sparkplug' that dissolves the fact that he maxes at a .700 OPS with limited range. At this point our options are counting on Cedeno to breakout or we drug Angelos long enough for him to finally agree to a trade, and even if so, who really wants to part with Gallagher/Marshall? Rule #1: Don't trade pitching for hitting. I still don't know what the answer to this problem is, but I'm willing to go to ST with this team and look for help at the AS break instead.
