    what about the longest streak by a black guy? Lee's not black. Sorry, Asian.

    Should be easy to do. Seeing as how you'll look like a dork. Who are you? Zach Morris. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c124/bnance82/clay.jpg It is easy for me, yes. Of course I can count over ten, so I see where it might be difficult for you. Of course I don't blame you for not listening to me. Your first time with a girl can be quite traumatic if you don't know what you're doing, so I can understand your hesitancy.

    Ok, new plan. Marquis dominates this year, and then we trade him and his easily tradeable contract in the offseason before he blows up in our face.

    How did you think Jeff Weaver was going to pitch this season?

    You can thank me later. Try and keep a running tally of how many girls grab you by the tie.

    Says the guy who wears a shirt and tie with jeans. :lol: totally off topic, but i went out dressed like that later that night, and it was a huge hit. I don't know how old you are, but if you're still in the "going to the bar" age bracket, you will pull some wool, guaranteed.

    what is this, high school?

    Seeing that Prior's 2003 was the best starting pitching performance (better than Maddux, even) in our last 25 years is like a big fat donkey kick to the balls.

    One loss and all the good feelings generated over the past week and a half are gone, huh? LOL I don't know if was the loss itself last night, or the way we lost. The bottom of the 8th was some of the worst baseball I have ever seen in my life. Even the very best teams in the league will lose games looking awful...and the worst teams will look great in some games. It's inevitable with a 162 game schedule and the nature of the game. Last night's game doesn't tell me anything I didn't know about the team before the night began. Thank god for you.

    woohoo, kozma

    Man, I really don't want to lose this game.

    You can't do this in baseball. Unlike hockey, there are actually, you know, fans, in baseball. It won't work.

    I really like Wieters, but I would love Vitters too. It looks like either way, we win, because at least one of those guys will be there at No. 3.

    I thought the revolution would not be televised... It's 2007, everything is televised.

    i don't understand why it's a big deal if the cubs have three lefties in the rotation. teams have 4-5 righties in the rotation all the time and no one says anything about it. There are more right-handed hitters in most (all?) lineups than there are left-handed hitters. The NL hit .265/.340/.426 against LHP last year, and .264/.332/.428 against RHP. What matters is who is the better pitcher, not if you have too many LH, or not enough. Weird. I always assumed that with there being so many more right-handed hitters than lefties, that LH pitchers had a rougher time. I agree that you need the better pitchers in the lineup, regardless of whether they throw with their right arm, left arm, or if they kick the ball up there, but does that even need to be said? I can't imagine anyone disagreeing.

    Too bad it's running at the same time as the revolution

    Now that is something.

    Jake Peavy's last three starts. 21 innings, nine hits, three earned runs, 36 k’s Cy Young.

    under, but im hoping for the over because of fantasy reasons

    twice as many runs as he gave up in 31 innings of AAA ball
  24. imb
    Bonds isn't playing. WHAAA? Hamels is left-handed, genius.

    Just like he isn't hitting 410 this year, he isn't going to hit HRs at his current pace. What proves this? I mean, we know he won't hit .400 because his babip is unsustainable, but what is there that says that his power will come around? Is there a precedent for a guy suddenly losing his power completely? I understand he had the wrist injury, but even with coming back early last year, playing a little hurt and his first ABs back from the injury he still hit at 25+ HR pace. The doubles are showing the power is still there. I don't know about precedent, but think about this. Did anyone really expect more than 35 home runs for Lee this season? Let's say that Lee (116 at-bats) gets 500 more. In order to reach 35, he has to hit 33 more, or one every 15 at-bats, something he's done only once ever, in his out-of-this-world 2005 (once every 12.9 at-bats). If he's going to hit 25, something I think we would all consider quite a disappointment, he has to hit one every 21.7 at-bats, a number that doesn't seem too unlikely right now. I would say, best case scenario is 30 home runs. But if he goes another 10 games without hitting one out of the park, that expected number is probably closer to 25. I think he needs to turn the power on soon.
