You can't cry about injuries when you purposefully fill your roster with a ton of over 30 guys who a long history of injuries, and have pitchers like Rich Harden on your squad.
-
That's not the first time I've made that stupid mistake. I know there are two more teams in the NL, and when I think about it as 2 more in the one league, I end up with 32 instead of 30. Anyway, that's still 3.333333 players per team, and if we add Aramis as the .333333 guy, we have our quota. Our quota for a .500 team, but the goal is to be well above .500, well above average, and hopefully at least one of the top 8 teams, which is going to be difficult.

A sub 800 OPS is not a good start toward turning around their totals. It may eventually level them out at substandard, but that's not turning things around. Lee has a 736 OPS, how would continuing at a rate of 775 turn that around?

Wouldn't you say they've got a good start on turning it around ?? 05/25 - 05/31 AB R H 2b 3b HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS BABIP P/PA IsoD RBI% Bradley 20 6 8 1 1 1 5 4 2 0.400 0.500 0.700 1.200 0.412 3.63 0.100 0.400 Soto 16 1 5 0 0 0 2 5 3 0.313 0.476 0.313 0.789 0.385 3.95 0.164 0.154 D Lee 16 1 4 2 0 0 0 3 1 0.250 0.400 0.375 0.775 0.267 4.30 0.150 0.000 No, but I would say one of them has.

Re: The Central gets NO repect!
jersey cubs fan replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in General Baseball Talk
Perhaps they have the most wins because they have the most teams, and most opportunity to win. Don't they also have the most losses? Who cares about a battle for 1st on June 1? The central has 2 crappy teams and 4 teams basically playing .500 ball the last couple weeks. Are you serious? The relation to wins and losses does'nt change if the division had 2 teams or 100. We have the most wins because we have won more games over the East and West.. And the other cental teams. I gotta figure you been up all nite or something. The win and loss % in the central is allways 50%....for every win there is a loss. Duh. We have more wins because of the games we play OUT of the division. Now go get some sleep! You lauded the fact that they have the most wins. The reason they do is because they have the most teams. It's not that much of an accomplishment. They also have the most losses, because they have the most teams. -

Maddux for Izturis was Jim Hendry's second worst trade for this team. I'm not sure about that. It's not like that trade really affected us that badly. The 06 team sucked either way and the 07 team made the playoffs despite it. Right now it seems like the DeRo trade is worse than that one. Oh boy. The trade made Izturis the starting SS, which was bad enough on its own.
-
There has been a lot of close calls according to gameday, but that was the first pitch entirely in the zone called a ball that I've seen today.
-
Soriano fits that bill, but most of the other guys pretty much define the middle ground.
-
Why? He's been around forever and they've had very limited success. I don't see anything stupid about firing a guy who has managed a 534-625, has no division wins and just 1 playoff appearance. What's so stupid about it?
-
Hasn't he been there forever?
-
That's not really this bullpen's "thing" though, is it?
-
Your 8-digit earning 1st baseman has a 950 OPS in May and yet his season total is still just 723. That's sad.
-
or just *a* hit with runners on base? or a productive out like a sac fly or (earlier in the game) a ground ball past the pitcher? instead all the plays in run scoring situations have been K's or piss-poor ground outs while non run-scoring situations have been pretty good. When you have so many poor hitters, and such a limited amount of decent hitters, it should be no surprise if a decent hitter gets on and the others don't drive him in. lee and hoffpauir both saved bad ABs for when fukudome was on third; fontenot has had two run-scoring situations and made outs both times but singled in his other AB. Like I said though, these are just decent hitters, not great ones coming up short. Decent hitters don't get a ton of hits. When one does, it doesn't mean the others will. All of those guys have huge question marks. There is no "heart" of this lineup. (and I don't mean that from an effort standpoint)
-
you've seen him three times, please rally.

almost, but not quite
-
At least the decent hitters get to the plate next inning.

SINNER!!!!! SINNER!!!!!!!!!!

2 outs, odds are whoever you put out there is also going to make an out. Now you're out one position player and not even halfway through the game. Is Theriot really all that great of a bet? You could use Bradley but then he's burned and you have to put Theriot in at SS.
-
You could use logic like that with any 3 cubs players in the lineup. That is why we will not score today. Fukudome, Lee, Hoffpauir isn't horrible. They've all been fairly effective in May at least.
-
That would be a lot of fun. But I don't see those guys signing short-term and definitely not at that low price tag.
-
I thought the consensus was that Shaq slowed Phoenix down and in doing so helped contribute to that team's decline?
-
Bears sign Idonije to 2-year extension, through 2011. He was set to become an unrestricted free agent after this season. I'm somewhat surprised they weren't willing to let him play out a contract year.
