  1. I agree, hes not the big deal we are looking for but for what we gave up and the black hole in the lineup that the catchers have been its a low risk deal that could turn out to be a positive.
  2. Concur.
  3. Its because they rocked so hard.
  4. Go Z vs Woman. Yeah I drank even though I'm on antibiotics, I have a problem. Go cubs!
  5. Well, good thing Ramirez didn't have to be taken out.
  6. Well, just be careful about what you do wrap it around.
  7. This is blasphemy! On a more serious note Lee should have just dropped his appeal and started serving it when we came to play the Nats, however, if it gets reduced to say 3 games I will not complain. Besides, with the way the Pirates are playing I am glad he is still available.
  8. I told my buddy that Jones would get 4 hits today before he went to the Police concert (lucky), he said I should stop doing drugs. I pointed out as of recently I am taking antibiotics and am a completely sober man, thus my predictions are to be reckoned with. I'm halfway to prophecy here.
  9. That's what I thought as well....2 different curveballs, occasionally dropping down, and varied fastball speeds. I think his biggest problem is location - seems like alot of curveballs have hung over the heart of the plate lately. Both of you are exactly right. He doesn't have the stuff that, say, Z has to get away with poor command and location. It's odd that the league is apparently figuring Rich Hill out when the Atlanta Braves had 3 chances to figure him out and have failed miserably. His last few starts aren't as doom and gloom as some of you make it out to be. I as well am in this line of thinking. I don't buy the pitch tipping but I do with location. If he does not have pinpoint control with that curve thats when balls start leaving the yard. His opponents average is a meager 2.27, good for 11th in MLB. A .405 slugging against him is good for 47th in the league powered by 18 homers given up, 5th worst. When he is throwing that curve over the middle of the plate far too often it is lifted out. With a 8.31 k/9 already along with a 1.14 WHIP if this man can start throwing a 3rd pitch effectively he could easily become lights out. If things go well that 3rd pitch (as long as you're not counting the different curves) will allow him to terrorize the NL along with big Z and we all will be happy campers. Lets hope that Hill and Rothschild get this figured out because we will need good Hill badly for the 2nd half of the season, especially if bad Marquis shows up and Marshall's numbers even out.
  10. Bowen's still way better. :wink: I'm getting progressively more bitter about that trade. I was bummed the day I saw it on the headlines, and it's continuously pissing me off with each passing day. I miss Barrett.
  11. Soto Please. Word...oh and Fontenot getting rest is a good thing. The bottom of this lineup shall terrorize the Nats.
  12. It means Quoted For Truth. Quaalude for toddlers
  13. That's your reaction to everything. Just take it easy, man. That's your answer to everything, dude. Sorry, read that post and all I could think of was Big Lebowski. Looking forward to another crazy game at Wrigley tomorrow. I'm sure it will be a wild one, Brewers-Cubs always give us fans at least that. Yeah, well. The Dude abides.
  14. I spent 50 bucks on that crapfest of a game. Time to get drunk.
  15. I'm going to the game baby! If they lose then its my fault and for that, I apologize. Oh, and Southpaw19 you're my hero. Keep up the good work.
  16. It'll be a stretch of my imagination, but I'll step out on a limb and believe that you got wasted. Now believe me, I'm on my way out to do the same. WOOOO FREAKIN HOOOO!!!! Wow that waws a terrible setnece. I'm still drunk and all but wow, my apologies. I'm Yeti v2.
  17. I just wanna say I got durnk after this game because I said I would and woow....Beievbe me I got pretty wastred,
  18. If anyone was sleeping on the 18th floor of my building they have been rudely awakened.
