  1. He had some nice backdoor (thats what she said) movement on a couple of pitches, he just kept getting himself in trouble by falling behind in counts. I think that when he does that, he straightens out his fastball and gets hammered.
  2. lol, somebody left their account logged on in a public place
  3. How in the world did neither Bourn nor Pence get to that ball? Calling Soto 2-run homer
  4. Wow, you weren't kidding.
  5. any improvement in theriot's numbers at this point is going to be due to luck on balls in play or steroids. he is who he is
  6. This is a prime example of why people should shut the F up about players "not showing up" four games into a season. Lee is 2-for-2 today, and his average is now .300. Two hits is all it took.
  7. how in the hell do you only accumulate 975 abs in 7 years? Im stumped.
  8. ryan theriot for the orioles 2009 first round draft pick and the rights to matt weiters
  9. Dude, you're taking this too personally. No one is saying "That bastard Theriot, not only is he terrible, but he's got a chokehold on the No. 1/No. 2 spots in the lineup!" When someone points out that it sucks that our worst hitter is going to get a ton of at-bats, they aren't blaming Theriot for that fact, they're just pointing it out. Take a breath.
  10. this really sucks for me because i bet my friend a million dollars that lee, ramirez and soriano wouldn't have four bad games all year.
  11. I can go along with that. I just think that Theriot is also completely worthless, and if we're looking at a worst case scenario of a 1.5 win difference, I'd like to roll the dice with Cedeno.
  12. Ouch. That cannot feel good. Ugh, I always get squeamish about knee injuries. Kneecap injuries sound painful. Never hurt my knee, but I cannot watch ankle injuries. I'm the same way. Sometimes I picture myself rolling my ankle and my body involuntarily jumps.
  13. That's out there. aramis' had a poor season when he was a full 365 days younger than cedeno. time to write ronny off aramis also cut his strikeout rate in half from his age 20 big league debut, and had a .700 OPS, not .610. i cant tell if you really don't think Cedeno could ever possibly be a decent option or if you just are sticking with an irrational point for the hell of it i like how it's an irrational point yet there have been very few examples provided of guys who completely sucked for a whole year at age 23 and turned into better than better than average big league players. it's also fun to bash points as being "irrational" without providing much evidence to support this. i don't think i'm the only person on this board who thinks cedeno will not be a good option, and i don't think that most of the people who are anti-cedeno feel that way because we are in love with ryan theriot's grit and hard work. Saying that you don't think that Cedeno will ever be average or above average or whatever isn't irrational. But saying that he will never be good and then using faulty examples is irrational. All he has to do to is be a better option than Ryan Theriot. That's it. And saying, "well look how good Jose Reyes was when he was 23" doesn't do anything to prove that he can't be a better option than Theriot. That being said, I don't care one way or the other whether or not it's Cedeno or Theriot in the starting lineup. I just have a problem with people claiming absolutes when they have no clue what they're talking about.

  15. That's out there. aramis' had a poor season when he was a full 365 days younger than cedeno. time to write ronny off
  16. Yup. Two games under .500. Time to jump. Are we not in a 2 game hole? Do we not have to get out of it to have a successful season? Point made. are you this irrational in real life or only about the cubs
  17. just curious how soriano is lazy and not a team player
  18. the better analogy would have been tyler and michael are both good looking guys tyler goes to a bar where all the guys are ugly, and scores a hot chick michael goes to a bar where all the guys are ballin, and scores a hotter chick who's the playa of the year
  19. i cant imagine any reason for someone to look at a count chocula costume in april
  20. his contract made me vomit poop out of my mouth
  21. This is ridiculous. No one is threatening to burn down Theriot's house or kidnap his family. He's bad at baseball, so people are admitting it. The negative hyperbole is no worse than the positive.
  22. it was sweet to have the last out be kendall, btw also good that kerry notched save no. 1, always nice to have an established guy back there
  23. you've got to be kidding me etc etc etc
  24. Fielder was so pissed when Kendall double-clutched.
