  1. Nice work to get outta that jam. Lets hope today's Ted is the one we see from here on out.
  2. Rod Barajas must be really weak or something. It looked like he hit the past two balls as hard as he could.
  3. I'm happy with any of those scenarios. I've always been a fan of Burnett and I think he'd be a great fit.
  4. I don't get that when people say it. On a 3-2 hit and run, nobody is making the batter swing. And we got it anyway, hooray! Bunt, plz. I'm believe it was a 3-1 count though.
  5. Geovany Soto (my fantasy team) rejoices! Best 11th round draftee in MLB fantasy draft history
  6. what about his pitching? :lol: I don't proof read when drinking.
  7. I missed the one bad inning while driving home from dinner, but Gallagher has looked pretty.
  8. Way to battle back Sean. I think he can be a very solid #5 this year.
  9. How many pitches for Burnett? Hopefully he has impressed Hendry at least....
  10. Wasn't there some talk about Gallagher skipping a start along with Marquis? Would that be his next scheduled start?
  11. He's our John Vander Wal. Pinch hitter extraordinaire.
  12. Found this on SportsIllustrated.com I remember the mid 50's Remlinger had to be restrained, it was pretty funny.
  13. I don't think that's true. There's a stigma is certain parts of our society, sports probably being one of them. But large sections of this society don't have any such stigma. In my media health class last semester we spent a good portion of the class focused on mental health. Research indicates overall, individuals with mental health issues are perceived much less favorably than "normal" individuals. This applied for the US and at least a few other countries where studies had been conducted. Yeah, but we're talking about going to seek professional help. If anything, our society probably applauds somebody that admits to a problem and seeks to "solve" it. Yeah I guess. But the fact remains if he's diagnosed, or even perceived, as bi-polar or something of the like, then people will judge him for that. Sure people probably may say it's a good thing to get the professional help, but on the same note, he'll be judged and looked at differently. Referring to him as a hot-head athlete is much less stigmatizing than a bi-polar athlete. That was the point of my original point, I may not have made that clear though. ETA: I should have said "anyone that needs to see a therapist for professional help", rather than "anyone who seeks professional help"
  14. Old school baseball managers gotta have speed at the top of the lineup unfortunately.

  16. Geez people I was just taking a stab at the lineup, don't jump all over me. I didn't know if Lou would want a little more pop at the top of the lineup since e patt is taking soriano's spot. I don't have any problem with the real one however.
  17. I'm Guessing this lineup: 2B Patterson LF DeRosa (since he did so well hitting second a few games ago) 1B Lee 3B Ramirez RF Fukudome C Soto CF Edmonds SS Theriot P Zambrano
  18. Bradley was out of line for sure, but I would be pissed to if someone said I should "look up" to how a recovering drug addict is doing and use him as a "role model". The announcer was way out of line, yet I'm sure most people will not even look at that aspect, rather as another Milton episode. Don't get me wrong, I think he definitely has some issues he needs to deal with, but he has also been put in some bad situations these past two years it seems. Whoever said he should speak to a therapist is right on. Unfortunately, in our society there is a stigma attached to anyone that seeks professional help and I would imagine even more so in the ultra macho sports world.
  19. Was Patterson called up? I hadn't heard. The hoffpauir thread in transactions said ESPN1000 was reporting epatt up as well.
  20. Are hoffpauir and patterson going to be in chicago for this one?
