  1. YOU DON'T HAVE TO KEEP USING THE WORD GRIND, BUT I APPRECIATE THAT YOU ARE JUST THROWING A BONE TO KAPLAN AND THE GOONS
  2. He's been less patient and struck out more on the road than at home, though. It's possible Citi Field has made him a radically different player than he used to be, but I'm not sure enough about that to put my concerns aside and support giving up the prospects and money it would take to get him. Yes, he has been less patient. Perhaps that's an indication of a hitter who hates his park and gets over aggressive on the road. Either way, Citi saps power, and his power has been higher on the road. It's pretty clear he's still a very patient hitter overall. He's going to IsoD from 80-90 and IsoP from 190-220.
  3. it's on mlb network right now as well THEO WITH A SHOUT OUT TO CRANE AS WELL
  4. CRANE KENNEY SHOUT OUT!!!!
  5. those are some well dressed handsome deities.
  6. our holy father and his only son are now speaking!!!!
  7. kaplan giving away his sources. His buddy who told him about Sandberg is the owner of the denim lounge (sp?).
  8. I don't think park is having much to do with it. As I posted earlier in this thread, he's declined steadily on the road since Citi Field opened, whereas his numbers have been up and down at home. His overall decline has actually been propped up by his home numbers, rather than brought down. His SLG has been higher on the road every year. There has to be some Citi effect. Because not only are his power numbers down as a result, but he has to adjust his swing/approach which is going to carry over to the road.
  9. I haven't seen that done yet at a sporting event, although I'm sure it's possible somewhere.
  10. cafardo on with Kaplan
  11. I think we just saw all of Kaplan's contacts.
  12. I like Wright. The health/decline in recent years is a concern. But he's not quite 29, he's been in the middle of a horrible lineup in 2 of the last 3 years, and his SLG remains stronger outside of Citi Field. He is going to be good for an 80-90 IsoD. And he should still be in his prime.
  13. I love when we keep getting live feed between commercials. Mooney is terrible on TV, and he's even uncomfortable when he's preparing to get on TV. watch out for those jugs
  14. Hendry was never that guy in the media. Never. Up until it was announced he was gone the assumption was that he was coming back and that that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. That's not true at all. But I live here, and you don't. Yes, because in 2011 one must live in a city to read and hear the sports talk in that town.

  16. I think I love Kenney now more than ever simply because he's taken over Ramirez, Soriano and Zambrano's collective role as THE GUY WE HAVE TO GET RID OF YESTERDAY!!!!
  17. Cliffs Notes: Randy Bush was nice to me, Crane Kenney was not. My god this article was terrible. They extended two main guys prior to this hire already. He also compared Boston's last two seasons to the Cubs last two by noting neither team made the playoffs in those two years. I guess the fact that Boston won 33 more games than the Cubs in those two years is meaningless.
  18. The funny thing is he always falls back to the "neutral field" argument when justifying ranking one team ahead of a team they lost to, and yet the Bears just handled the Bucs fairly evenly on the very definition of a neutral field.
  19. Yep. Comcast SportsNet is airing it as will http://www.csnchicago.com. I bet ESPN carries it on SportsCenter as well. They will probably air the Boston rebuttal instead.
  20. they would have at least 5 losses by then, and be behind about 5 other teams for the WC race. I doubt Philly will have much of a chance if they do lose to the Bears. Bears coming off a bye. Philly coming off a tough primetime divisional matchup. Bears do well against Vick and Philly isn't all that great on defense. Lovie is only 4-3 coming off the bye, but 4-1 in the last 5 years.
  21. I think I have tickets to this game, which would be maybe the 3rd Eagles/Bears games I've attended in Philly. Lovie is 3-2 vs Philly, and the Bears do well against Vick. I like there chances here, especially with Philly's defesne being so ho-hum against the pass. They do sack the QB quite a bit, but they are allowing the 10th highest QB rating against. And their numbers would be a whole lot worse if they didn't catch Grossman in his implosion game.
  22. Selig and MLB are idiots because they got 2 weeks of added media attention in a couple of markets that would have ignored baseball this month.
  23. On one of the post game radio shows yesterday they had a TB radio guy on, and he said the theme of the week in Tampa talk radio land was that the Bucs would have an easy game due to: 1) the Bears waiting until Thursday to travel and 2) Brigg's comments about the team morale. Whoops. The funny thing is they said Tampa flew out on Friday last time, but the Bears travelled on Thursday this time. They were there in advance, just not a whole freaking week.
  24. Pitching abuse was much more widespread than the notion that managers don't really matter. I know I had those conversations with people on the espn board, but those people mostly came here. There were not, however, many of them. I mean, you can disagree all you want; I'm just trying to answer your question. Mostly people simply did not view him as the monster he would become. Yes, I understand there were a lot of ignorant people who couldn't foresee the coming catastrophe, what I'm saying is there had to be somebody else.
