  1. i saw that on twitter too. A high second rounder in next year's stacked draft and an extra roster spot this year (for Ibaka, I imagine). Sounds good to me.
  2. yes and he also said "struggling" and referenced other players who "struggled" early in their careers at Wrigley. Having an OBP at .350 or whatever Milton's was for most of the season isn't what people are talking about when they say "struggling". When talking about the other players struggling at Wrigley, you think they are talking about "taking less walks"?? He also referenced "turning things around". Milton's OBP isn't something that people would look to and say "damn, he sucks! he needs to turn that around!" Of course not, they are talking about his abysmal hitting and lack of power. I can't recall many posters on here bitching about Milton's lack of patience at the plate or anything like that. If damn near everything you read about Milton is that "he can't hit and hasn't given us much power", then it is a logical assumption to think when someone talks about him "turning things around" that they are talking about him actually hitting the ball. i can't believe you're actually this dense, so I'm assuming you're still trying to cover your ass. in milton bradley's specific case, he is showing signs of life by upping his OBP and OPS. What do you call it when a player reaches base 43 percent of the time and raises his OPS .40 points over the previous month? struggling? just give it up, you're making a fool of yourself.
  3. When someone is talking about batters "struggling", they normally aren't talking about the fact that said player's OBP is .345 when their career rate is .370 or whatever. He's using the phrase "turning things around". I highly doubt that he, or most people, thinks that taking more walks = turning things around. maybe you don't, but everyone who understands what hitting is about (for instance: that guy) does. he said "showing signs of life" uhh, i dont know, maybe, like, getting on base over 40 percent of the time counts? maybe raising his OPS over last month counts? no, you're right, let's just look at his [expletive] batting average. give me a break.
  4. the act of "hitting" or "being a hitter" isn't constrained only to the times the bat and the ball connect. You're being obtuse because you were too lazy to look at his espn.com page for 4 seconds to make sure you were right.
  5. The evidence doesn't show that. In July he is hitting .245 and in June he hit .273. are you serious? his OBP is like 60 points higher in July than in June. I thought you were better than this. Yes I'm aware. However, I don't think that is what the poster was talking about. Is taking walks considered to be "signs of life"? Usually that term is applied when someone is hitting the ball better. no, signs of life means being a more productive hitter. but by all means, keep dancing dance dance dance
  6. which one of nyjer morgan's 7 XBHs this season was your favorite and why

  8. Matt Holliday is a singles hitting [expletive] outside of coors field, big deal.
  9. sec football is the equivalent of AA baseball something something
  10. do you mean deuce, like the number 2?
  11. so let me get this straight, theriot makes an idiotic play and milton catches heat? give me a break.
  12. that road beef is overcooked
  13. as far as I know, he doesn't. I'd really like a good cubs source to follow, if anyone knows any.
  14. yeah, giants and dodgers are my two favorites
  15. hell, i'll take a team. i need some fantasy football in my life
  16. If what I've heard about him from a former college teammate is true, this might be hush money. Wessel? Yep. tell the story, you bastard
  17. ivy killed his parents
  18. If what I've heard about him from a former college teammate is true, this might be hush money. i had never heard the gay rumors until a few months ago. then this whole things goes down. interesting.
  19. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a47/madhops_42/sori.jpg props if you get that one
  20. this is not true, don't listen to him. he runs a 1-man secondary fastbreak
