  1. Why? He's a bad fielder, and a poor hitter, but he starts at one the most important defensive positions on the field and barring injury will likely get more PAs than anyone not named Soriano. What kind of reaction do you expect? I admit that a lot of the hate is overblown, but he's a bad player in every aspect of the game, it's absurd to expect people to not talk about how bad he is.
  2. Oh man, is this 2005 NL MVP Craig Counsell?
  3. Kendall is hilarious back there. They aren't even just weak throws, they're amateurish.
  4. What a surprise, another 3-1 count. Hey and a walk, fukuballa
  5. Dave Bush is awful. Gallardo cannot come back soon enough for them.
  6. There we go. Wish Felix would have made Bush throw him a strike.
  7. god bless you, fukudome how nice is it to see a cub consistently get in 3-ball counts?
  8. Hahahah. I'm going to laugh so hard when Braun doesn't OPS 1.400 against lefties this year but remains a -25 defender.
  9. Lol, Len. "The versatile Theriot. You can hit him first, second....(in a pleading voice) seventh, eighth."
  10. If there's a No. 3 starter that's worse than Dempster, it might be Dave Bush. Two runs is not going to win this game.
  11. lolllllllllllllllllllllllll that's a good start
  12. No one is going to offer up enough for Harden for Beane to justify trading him imo
  13. Oh, wow. That's awful. I saw him play in person for both UK and Louisville. That's really too bad. Hardly knew there were professional leagues in Africa. There are. Here's a great if somewhat disjointed anecdote from former Texas Longhorn Gabe Muoneke. His blog is actually pretty entertaining. http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/muoneke/index.php/category/ime-udoka/ Haha, that's amazing. I hate Texas, but I always had the smallest softspot (thats what she said) for Muoneke.
  14. From Lou's quotes, in his mind it's all for Soriano's benefit why he's making the switch. Disappointing.
  15. Is Lou switching Alf and Theriot because Theriot has been bad or because Alf has been bad?
  16. I wouldn't go that far, yet. Well, they are. I've been saying that for awhile. They have an awesome leadoff man that should have a .400 OBP, 30 SB and 15-20 HRs at the end of the year. They have two hitters that will hit 40-50 HRs this year at 3 and 4. They have Corey Hart who will probably be a 20-20 guy with good OBP. Their only weak spot on offense is catcher, and Kendall looks comfortable hitting behind the pitcher. As far as their pitching, ours might be slightly better right now, but their ceiling is much higher. I'd take Sheets, Gallardo, Suppan, Parra, Villenueva over our mess any day. Sheets and Z are about even. Sheets is probably better when healthy, Z tends to be erratic. Our bullpen is better, but not by as much as last yaer, and their defense is better by moving Braun to LF. Not on par with ours, but again not a huge disparity as last year. Oh and in 23 games, they will get a very good 30 HR potential hitter back into their lineup. Injuries are the only things that will slow Milwaukee down this year. if Rickie Weeks ends up with a .400 OBP i'll stop watching baseball He obp'd .374 last year with a .235 avg and a .287 babip aka: he will
  17. Soto walked twice on Monday, got out on a hard hit ball today and struck out on a 3-2 count today. You (posts) are morons.
  18. clearly they're referring to the Flint Tropics and their late season trade of Coffee Black to San Antonio
  19. Kenny Lofton in right field is such a hilarious proposition.
  20. The '84 team should have been to the series. They might have gotten steamrolled by the Tigers, but they were the best team in the NL (by my 9-year-old recollection.) tell us more about the olden days, grampa I hate everything about you. was history class easier back then No such thing. We did have a "Peering Into the Future" core requirement. I don't guess there was a sports section in that class. If I had known I was in for two and a half decades of futility, I don't think I'd still be following the Cobs. You'll appreciate this. My mom called me the other day because she found some folder of mine from back when I was in the second or third grade. There were a lot of my old journal assignments from english or whatever in it. The first one? If you could go back in time, where would you go? My answer? "I would go see Cy Young pitch."
  21. lol, he does look petulant there, though I'm sure that's not what's going on. i want to know what reggie jackson and the "aint got time to bleed" guy from Predator are doing there with him lol, though Jesse the Body (blain) delivered that line, not Bill Duke (aka Mac). Ahh, damn, you're right. I'm thinking of the guy that shaved his face until he bled. I always attribute that line to him for some reason, and Ive been corrected before.
  22. Carlos Gomez is a video game character .300/.320/.350 120 steals
