    There isnt a Cardinal forum available for this circle jerk?

    are you talking to me? cuz i point out that they are the ones that are most likely offensive No, I was talking to JC. We're just both geniuses, and we picked the same three.

    Clement's ERA is a very Maddux like 4.67 right now, if i remember right.

    Reading comprehension is a skill my friend. :) There probably are some on this board that do know more than Baker about hitting. However, some of the criticism of Baker just gets out of hand and tiresome at times. Don't talk to me about reading comprehension. Actually, dont talk to me until you can point out a post like you described. Or until you admit that you pulled that out of no where.

    You dont see whats offensive about injun, redskin or redman?
  6. imb
    Yeah. I have. I notice you still haven't pointed one out. Should I stop waiting?

    I have an autographed faux batting helmet signed by Harvey and made out to IMB. I think Harvey knows who his number one fan is, so back off! (Serena can stay)

    So lets see one.

    Being a great hitter doesn't mean you will be a great hitting instructor. Dusty's prowess as a MLB player and his ability to assess and instruct can be mutually exclusive things. Dusty was a good hitter so he automatically knows what's best for Murton? BS. It's like that in all facets of life. For example, I have met awesome golfers who couldn't teach you a thing about how to swing a club effectively. I knew awesome mathematicians who couldn't help me at all with my math. I am a pretty damn good writer, but I have a hard time imparting writing knowledge on to students I tutor. The notion that if two people are analysts/managers and the one who has had success as a player automatically has more insight is a total and utter crock. The Cubs are one of the best slugging teams in the NL, and Baker's the same guy who managed Bonds. I don't like Baker, mostly due to his incredible stubbornness and constantly changing lineups. However, he's not as bad as some on this board say. He probably knows a lot more about hitting than many of the armchair coaches on this board, who probably never got past high school ball. Here's a fun little job for you. Go find one post on this board by someone who claims to be a better hitting instructor than Baker. Find one post by someone who has said that they could teach someone to hit better than Baker.

    Martial Arts?

    Hahha, Roast is going to get killed some day going for a pressure point on someone.

    Keep Prior and Maybe Zambrano. Everyone else is up for grabs.

    it's a delicate balance.

    It was something Bruce Miles either said on this site, or in one of his articles. I don't have the exact quote on me. It was in the "Deal For Adam Dunn soon" thread. Everyone was wetting their pants about a deal of Hill/Mitre/Patterson for Dunn, and Bruce came in and said that there was no such deal, and that Hendry wouldnt even trade Hill straight up for Dunn. Obviously that doesnt mean that the Reds offered us that deal, but if Bruce said it, I'm pretty much obliged to take him at his word that he knows Hendry wouldnt go for it. Then I guess it shows the original quote was made up. The quote was made up, but the fact that Hendry wouldnt trade Hill for Dunn, straight up is true. Based on what? Based on Bruce Miles saying it. I guess you're calling him a liar then. That was Bruce's opinion at the time, just not a fact or a quote from Hendry. Yeah, Im sure Bruce came over here to pawn off his opinion as fact. Believe what you want.

    That can't actually be true. Surely. It isn't, just another made up quote. Really? Why don't you ask Bruce Miles that?
  19. imb
    I thought you liked the Marlins also...just get on board all the way with them! I really hate the organization though
  20. imb
    i need to get a new ******* team
  21. imb
    Anyone who believes that is an idiot. Hendry's the same guy who said Sammy would be the starting rf this year. Hey, Miles said it was true.
  22. imb
    man, no sac fly again!

    I think he meant that Ryno would have been inducted in 2001 had his career begun a few years earlier.
