That's a fine point and you might have me there, but I'd still take Sosa. This is how baseball people stay ignorant. me Tarzan and you Jerk "I know that all the statistical evidence points in the opposite direction, but I'll go with Sosa because he had a lot of the numbers that I'm comfortable with."

I don't think this is something that you really want to be arguing. EDIT Of course TT beats me to it.

Unfortunately the most likely explanation for his poor performance today was that he's Sean Marshall. Weak argument. How is what he said in any way wrong? Right now Marshall is a No. 5, No. 5's get lit up from time to time. He's young and he's not a guy that you expect to dominate every time he steps on the mound, he's the exact kind of pitcher that you would expect to give up a lot of runs every once in a while. The implication was that Marshall is a poor pitcher. This is Marshall's second (maybe third depending on your definition) bad outing of the year. That to me is FAR from a poor pitcher. Now if he was trying to imply something else, then that certainly didn't come across. Whether it was because he was trying to say he was a poor pitcher, or whether it was simply that he wasn't getting his point across very well...either way, it was a weak argument. I think that his abrasive nature is causing you to assume his argument, because I certainly didn't take it that way. Sean Marshall is going to be a pitcher that will probably always be prone to a game here and there where he gives up a bunch of runs.

isn't that a double-dip? or is that when you do it twice with the same gal? That's with the same girl
-
I always thought a double-cut was when you had sex twice in one night
-
Ok, I couldnt remember his gateway name
-
I said no, but then I remembered one, so yes.

Racist. you're kidding, right? You're kidding (about me kidding), right? Are you kidding?

Think Stone will do away with the "slider low and away will get him" since the Sox pitchers suck?

NEW RULES FOR TIM TO ADD TO THE GUIDELINES 1.) Whenever the Cubs are winning a game, no one is allowed to post. You just have to sit at home and enjoy the lead. 1a.) If the Cubs are winning a game, you are not allowed to post. If the opposing team ties the game up, posting will be allowed when the opposing team has runners in scoring position, or when the Cubs are at bat with two outs and no one on base. 1b.) If the Cubs come from behind to tie up a game that they were previously losing, posting is not allowed under any circumstances until the opposing team takes a lead.

Should I just go ahead and start a thread in the fantasy forum, asking for one more? We can see who wants to join and pick from that group.
-
Yeah, who wants to have an interesting discussion, anyway.
-
Too close to call. I'll go with Spears. Lohan's troubles seem too media-ready for me to take them seriously.

I couldn't agree more. Kendall has a past, and the hope was to catch lighting in the bottle. Maybe coming back the central will wake up his bat. I don't see the big deal, its not like Bowen or Hill are any good anyway. I still hold out hope he'll adjust to NL pitching soon and help the club. Soto may be good. He was the only guy who actually stood a chance of doing something good this year. Look I don't know anything about Soto, but why didn't he come up before Hill if he's so good? Why didn't he come up after Barrett was gone and we had Bowen/Hill up? Is it really everyone blocking him? I would think if he's so good, he'd been given a chance. Its not like guys aren't getting chances this year from the minors. Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus ranked Soto the #3 catching prospect in the minors right now (not including new draftees). what does that nerd know that the cubs dont?

Good. I hope it happens. This freaking Murton is a god, crap, again. Uggh, Hendry. Noone said he's God we just want him to play instead of that nagging injury dude. I'm just sick of everyone bowing down in front of the "Golden Calf" Matt Murton. Look, he's not the next Barry Bonds like all you guys think. Enough with the BS comparisons to great players. Nobody is calling him this. People look like idiots constantly criticizing people for doing something they aren't doing. Calm down, killer! I thought it was pretty obvious that I was only joking around. I'm a big Murton fan and I think it's ridiculous that he's in Iowa right now.

140 AB's does not make a season, arguably. It was one time. You tell me if it was a fluke or not. And you're judging him based on 119 bad at-bats this season. You're being really, really oblivious (obtuse? are you calling me obtuse, Dufresne?).

Minor League 1B coach hit by line drive pronounced Dead
imb replied to RammyFanny's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
They don't use aluminum in the minor leagues. I'm down with getting rid of aluminum, but more in a "help scouting" than "prevent injuries" kind of way. -
Hahaha, his wiki page? That's a new one.

While that would be nice, I am still holding out for the Browns to continue there suckiness, and that 1st round pick for Quinn turns into Darren McFadden. I'd happily take Larry Johnson...but yes, I'd like to have McFadden as well. All we have to do is convince them to start Brady Quinn from the outset. Hello, first pick.

longer than he hit .210 in Chicago Random sample fluctations don't alone explain this difference. Obviously, they have something to do with it. But Pie now has a demonstrated trend of struggling at new level before mastering it. You're telling me that all top-prospects don't move to the majors and immediately hit .300?
