  1. He's clearly a troll - reminds me IIspitzII
  2. thats not really the idea of daily changes - its supposed to be for unforeseen changes. Okay...which one? Can you tell me whether either Sheff or Reyes is going to play this week? If so, I'll adjust accordingly. If you can't tell me whether or not they're going to play, it's unforseen, right? that's for you to figure out.
  3. he seems almost human in this press conference. boy reporters are idiots.
  4. I seriously doubt he is even a cub fan. viewtopic.php?t=31428&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30

  6. bonds will retire after he passes ruth? He seems joyless and the giants are terrible. I could see him not even finishing the season.
  7. man, I'm just running the gauntlet - who made this schedule? Buddiga too
  8. looks like buddiga will remain unbeaten barring an unholy blowup by gordon - thanks for using up hoffman in non-save situation bochy!
  9. both teams over 350 with a 0.15 lead not including tba's and a couple games still going?
  10. Diaz will always be associated with the collapse that still hasn't ended, but yeah, I would deal williams for something useful in heartbeat.
  11. getting a slightly above replacement level player to fill in for lee will do very little to solve this team's problems.
  12. how about Nomar at 1b? not going to happen anyway.
  13. This is funny stuff. Not because it isn't correct, but because its so ridiculously simple. How do baseball "experts" not understand this? Maybe Dusty needs to have a chat with good old Joe. Joe would also likely have Bynum leadoff before Murton. Isn't there a show on TLC that can have Dusty contact the spirit of Weaver? I think there's a link in one of the threads . ..

  15. Do you have numbers for that? BP did a study that showed pretty conclusively that the only good times to sac bunt when playing for one run are 1) when there are no outs and a runner on second and 2) when the pitcher (or someone who hits just as poorly as a pitcher - Neifi Perez for example) is batting. Same study shows that bunting a runner to second with not outs increases your chances to score one run slightly. You generally don't want to do it because it significantly decreses your chances to score more than one. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=2851 Numbers in this study show pretty conclusively that it's a very good idea to bunt when playing for one run with a runner on second an no outs. It's usually a bad idea to sac bunt with a runner on first with no outs, even when playing for one run. If you've got a different study that shows bunting a runner from 1st to 2nd raises probability of scoring one run, I'd genuinely like to see it. It's something that interests me. I am going off the strict odds of scoring situationally.

  17. ramirez grounds out when the padres are trying to walk him.
  18. With Dempster 1 is enough. But bunting in that situation probably doesn't increase the chances of scoring 1 run, much less multiple runs. If Cedeno had been on 2nd, calling for a sac bunt would be appropriate if playing for one run. I still hope the Cubs score here, though. actually, it does. of course, you still have to get a hit.
  19. jones K, Ramirez IBB, Murton single scores cedeno.
  20. Jimmy Fallon and Pepsi would disagree with you. guys guys, they are both horrible! Pepsi's writers should be sacked.
  21. USC USC USC USC, actually I hate USC. that's ok, you can hate them both.
