    Mark... :cry: So does this make it inevitable that TJ's days are numbered? aye I think everyone is forgetting how great it is that Chris Thompson was cut. I mean, the guy is terrible.

    Fair enough. I think Paxson's keeping and using the pick. If the Raptors choose Bargnani like most prognosticators believe, all signs point to the Bulls picking either Thomas or Aldridge. But it could all be a mirage as you suggest. I hope its Aldridge, if it shakes down as you are predicting. As long as we're quoting Chad's opinions: Ugh. I know you draft the best player available, and not for need, but c'mon... Thomas doesn't help this team immediately, or maybe at all, Aldridge helps immediately.

    Or neither. Go Blue Jays!

    This is the correct answer. :lol:

    Oakland Athletics They are the exact opposite of the Cubs, and I love the way they (mostly Billy Beane) manage their teams.

    He can't catch the ball. Marion can. I like that in a basketball player.

    The mets, yankees, red sox, toronto, detroit division needs to send detroit for baltimore. Imagine that division, christ the race would be interesting.

    The other Fecal Matter League teams are also doing pretty darn well, The Nationals and the Marlins are teasing with .500 and mediocrity. Soon its just gonna be the Cubs and the Royals. :cry:

    This is an awful big generalization. I'm sure there are just as many "knowledgeable" fans of the Yankees as there are of the Cubs. Big deal! The Cubs are one of the worst teams in baseball, but if I want to wear my Cubs hat, jersey, etc. when I go out in public, I have that right. About the Yankees fans: You don't see rappers wearing Cubs hats regularly.... its always YANKEES YANKEES YANKEES. And the person wearing the cap know NOTHING about the team yet the team wins so "its cool". The Yankees have the biggest bandwagon fanbase of any MLB team. Maybe not all the fans, but a nig amount. Snoop Dogg regularly wears Oakland gear. Actually, this is a bunch of bull, I see a ton of artists wear all kinds of gear, in fact the most popular stuff I've seen recently has been the White Sox black on black hat. Now, I'm not a White Sox fan by any means, but they do have a cool symbol. You have to admit that.

    I hate the Red Sox much more than I hate the Yankees.
  14. BigSlick
    I like Ken Griffey Jr. I like Adam Dunn. I don't really like anyone else on that team. Comments?
  15. BigSlick
    The way the Cobs have been treating Marshall of late, I expect him to throw 8 shut out innings before taking the loss because on an unearned run in the 5th. Cubs lose 1-0.
  16. BigSlick
    Except some of those teams are good and probably will be contending at the end of the season.
  17. BigSlick
    OK. Your views are vera similar to another person. This person happens to be myself.

    I just don't think he juiced. Can't some people have some integrity?
  19. BigSlick
    but everyone knows those 3 are awesome. plus dunn's personality is a+ He shaved his soul patch. I don't know if thats good or bad. BTW, Bay sucks. I hate him and I hate his stupid face. Do I know you? No.

    And gaffes quite as often as we do when trying to turn them. Ugh.
  22. BigSlick
    Geez, with two hits today, Walker has probably earned a week on Dusty's bench. yeah, whats that .300 hitter doing upping his avg.? He needs to bunt more and give to the team.
  23. BigSlick
    Looks like a great battle. But did anybody notice if he swung at a bunch of balls out of the zone? You hate to lose a batter after a 3-1 count. He swung at 12 out of 16 pitches. I haven't been watching the whole game, but the outside corner hasn't really been there on a lot of pitches, so he probably was swinging at quite a few that would be called balls. However, most were pretty close. One of the pitches around 9 or 10 was definitely outside and there was another that was low, I believe, but aside from those, they were all probably a little too borderline to take. Ironically, the ball he got out on was probably low enough to get him to walk. But something in his face showed he wanted to get the better of Nieve and get a hit. Ah well.
  24. BigSlick
    Is Lane wearing a magnet or something? I'm bothered by how many hits he's stolen so far.
  25. BigSlick
    Bah, it was a meaningless homerun as the Cubs already had the lead. Jacque = not clutch. :twisted: Trade him for Dunn. A team with Jones, Dunn, and Arod as the heart of the order wouldn't win games because none of those guys hit when it counts. Can't be any worse then the Cubs as currently assembled. I'm not sure if you guys are being sarcastic when talking about whether Jones is clutch. I seem to remember about 2-3 games where a Jock hit was clutch... I'm totally being sarcastic. a) I don't believe in guys being able to "bear down more" in clutch situations like Brenly does. b) Jones has hit better with RISP than just about everybody else on the team. I think you'll find, with nearly any team, the player with the highest BA tends to have the highest BA with RISP. And its no coincidence. :roll: Except that's not true. A quick look at the NL central shows that only 2 out of 6 teams have the player with the highest batting average with the highest average with RISP (with a certain mininum of at bats to take pitchers and bench players out). I bet you could find that is probably true around the league. For example, Barrett is hitting .307 and Jones only .287 normally, but Jones is batting the best on the team with RISP-.288. Then comes Ramirez, Walker, Cedeno, and Neifi before you get to Barrett! Would you like to back up your statement? Small Sample Size. Take a look at most teams' overall OBP and their OBP with RISP and the two numbers are usually quite close. If Jacque Jones or Neifi Perez or Matt Murton had 600 AB with RISP, their numbers would be pretty close to their overall numbers. Oh thank you, i'm giving you a hug the next time i see you.
