  1. Of course not. I'll take a base runner getting past second. Small steps. well, does getting to 2nd do anything for you?
  2. He's got a 724 OPS, including a .308 OBP. He's not doing anything. I don't think he said he is setting the world afire; he just said he's hitting the ball hard. he hit a couple yesterday that just went right at the Stros. I understand the sentiment, I just think it's a lousy defense for playing a hobbled veteran coming off a terrible season over a young up and comer coming off a solid season, especially when he hasn't done anything this year. Aramis Ramirez can get the "hard outs" excuse, because you can expect him to produce great numbers this year. Floyd is nowhere near a guarantee. He should only get preference if he's truly racking up the numbers.
  3. sampsonite on pace to complete this game with just 108 pitches.
  4. [tagliabue voice] with the, uh, 63rd pick in the 2007 draft, the New York Jets select Brian Leonard, running back, Rutgers.[/tagliabue voice] By law, Thomas Jones is not allowed a starting job without competition. Leonard takes over the Wayne Chrebet role of local college white boy who the fans can latch onto with an unwavering support.
  5. communication breakdown, it's always the same. I'm having a nervous breakdown, drive me insane. I think NSBB game thread participants slacked off their spring training drills and aren't quite in sync yet.
  6. Ramirez is carrying my last place yahoo team. And Hughes is carrying Santo more so than usual.
  7. It's Goony. Goony broke his old screen name with too many gibberish posts. gobbledigook flimflam jebota.
  8. Marquis's 2007 ERA is now back down to 4.50. If that's where it ends the year, I'd be pleasantly surprised.
  9. I don't know how high any team's winning percentages are when they go down 3 runs in the top of the 1st and they have Jason Marquis on the mound. :? sure, for this game, but people are writing off Marquis for the length of the contract because of one bad inning I think people are writing off Marquis because of one bad career. Wow, joined up yesterday and already picking iFights in every thread you've posted in. Great job. You're a welcome addition here. glad to be of service
  10. yeah Cubs fans, going behind 3-0 in the first inning one game after going below .500 in your home opener, one year after losing 90+ games is no time to complain. Can you blame fans for being a little dramatic after living through the last 2 years of crap? No, I don't blame them. That's why I think it's a little ridiculous to start criticizing those who aren't happy with the start.

  13. just did :lol: Sort of. According to gameday, there was one swing and miss that inning, not counting Burke's foul tip strikeout.
  14. He's got a 724 OPS, including a .308 OBP. He's not doing anything.
  15. Then please give us the okay whenever the proper date is reached. Thanks.
  16. It'll be cold...wind blowing in...he should be fine...he'll save the truly bad games for August...when we're hopefully in contention and it can really hurt us. It's funny, most of my Yankee fan friends are saying the samething about A-Rod. They all still hate him. I have no idea why. My, one, Yankee fan friend hates ARod too. She thinks that liking/accepting him takes away from Jeter's adoration--which makes no sense to me but it seems to be a running theme with many in that fandom. It's really quite fun to be at a bar around here when ARod comes up. Peope can be more or less passively watching the game, but when he comes up to the plate the catcalls begin, and I do my part to egg everybody on. I've got a friend who is a Mets fan who feels the same way. While all the Yankees fans we know hate the guy, and can't stand our take on the subject.
  17. If he goes for that all or nothing shot, and somehow comes up short, then forces the team to cut back the way Arizona has had to do, it will cause a lot more pain.
  18. ownership has turned over quite a bit from the old guard. you've got a lot of owners who probably hope to sell to the highest bidder sometime within the next 10-15 years. I don't see them being anywhere near as exclusionary as they may have been 20 years ago. the owners can afford to exclude high bidders. these are the cubs, there is bound to be a bidding war. regardless of how high cuban's bid is, there's bound to be plenty of other similar, if not superior, bids. Possibly. But if one bidder is $20-50m more than 2nd (quite possible), there's likely to be some lawsuits coming out of any rejection.
  19. I think he was good last year, but not a particularly good signing. I would have traded any of the relievers this offseason.
