    Actually, and put your stakes in them as you will, the BP metrics say its the best Defensive team in the majors!

    Agreed on Kosuke. Its very easy to see in his approach whether he's comfortable or not.
  5. BigSlick
    Well lets not lose this lead
  6. BigSlick
    Come on Blanco, get that run home

    convince yourself that we do it on purpose makes you feel better about the whole thing

    lee's resurgence has coincided with my belated signature picture change (From an old old Cedeno picture) so yeah you can thank me for that
  9. BigSlick
    hmm i think the secret is i can't actually physically be watching them whenever they do something good
  10. BigSlick
    Welp to whomever thought our offense was waking up

    No the Cubs have the magic ability to ruin each and every prospect Come on dude, 'developing' prospects and all is a little overrated. People grow into what they are going to be for the most part. If you have superstar talent you'll probably be a superstar. For fringe players and all, maybe it has more influence. I bet all those midgets and quad A players that the Cardinals fluff into regulars might be in part because of their good organization, maybe its pixie dust. He's pretty good though. Like him as a ballplayer.

    I almost want him to "get over it" so to say because it pains me to keep reading those comments. I'm not one of the biggest "trading DeRo was the biggest mistake ever" guys, but I am a Mark DeRosa fan, and would have had absolutely no problem being on this team. god, that's like your ex-girlfriend texting you out of nowhere and being all "we sure did have some great times, huh?" Except you dumped said ex-girlfriend in the hopes that one of your buddies was gonna break up with the girl of our dreams then the girl of your dreams broke her elbow or something and now is on the DL

    Lee gets bizarrely below average range rankings in sabermetric fielding stats, whatever. He's probably not as good as our eyes would lead us to believe, he makes some nice flashy plays, he's definitely good getting the ball. His bat is coming around and I'll admit that I didn't think it would happen. Two games doesn't meant his offense is coming around yet, so they haven't drawn me back in. The way I see it its them just making up for those horribly horribly blown games on the last road trip, and in terms of emotional investment I find horribly blown games far more damaging to me than a great comeback. Can't we just have relaxing wins/defeats. You're killing me.

    Soriano's 'english' irks me more than Guillen Soriano has almost no command of the language, amazing that they say he knows some Japanese from when he spent some time there, but I'd love to hear how well he 'speaks' that as well

    LOL at the thought of 61 being the legitimate home run record, all because of steroids. If you want to ignore the smaller stadiums, smaller strike zones, the poor pitchers, and the possible juiced balls of the era be my guest. But don't pretend that steroids were the only reason for increased home runs in the past 15 years.

    This team blows I want this season to be over now, I dont want to deal with another 100 game of this
  17. BigSlick
    lol yesssssss

    Using my reverse-playoff-wins-to-regular-season-wins formula that Arnold inspired I have reached a number of conculsions the 114 win Seattle Mariners team is the worst of all time, they collapsed and degritted themselves away from great status. They were so gutless they refused to even make the World Series. What a worthless team
  19. BigSlick
    Hmmm, you're right on the other hand they were 5 games over .500
  20. BigSlick
    Yo, Arnold has opened my eyes not only are the 06 Cards a great team, that perservered and won the World Series... They are the best team of all time. Think about it, think about all that clutchness and amazing ability they had to cope with their lack of talent and goodness at baseball to win the World Series. It was by their magic that they forced the Tigers pitching to commit errors like no other. It was by David Eckstein's grittiest grit grit that he gritted out doubles when fielders lost his pop ups in the lights. They are the greatest team of all time
  21. BigSlick
    Yo, Arnold Layne, you got good taste in music but you dont know anything about baseball telling it like it is
  22. BigSlick
    I guess if there was any doubt who was the worse hitting team between teh Cubs and the Sox its been resolved today also I'm glad we fired Perry because we aren't taking walks anymore, so I hope that continues and I hope our team becomes a bunch of worthless hackers like every dusty team
  23. BigSlick
    Reminder that steroid use doesn't mean your home run numbers jump through the sky or that you suddenly become better at baseball many players begin using steroids to come back quickly from injuries, etc. etc.
  24. BigSlick
    and I think you're wrong. Except for all the Juicers on Tony La Russa's A's teams from the late 80's to early 90s? Steroid era most definitely extends to at least the early 90's, sorry OleMiss, you can be as obstinate as you want to be
  25. BigSlick
    go cubs, dont really care if its the sox or not we need to win some series, hopefully with a few sweeps here and there
