missed the game...how did toni kukoc look?

a lot of people believe ryan theriot is better than hanley ramirez...when in actuality, a quick perusal of their numbers shows that this isn't correct. welp, won that argument.

Dunn is overrated. There's alot of people who consider him to be just a small step behind Pujols as an elite hitter, when he's not even close. He is very good, but calling him great is probably stretching it too much. He's slow, he's one of the greatest defensive liabilities in the NL, and I'd put the over/under on his OPS+ next year at 125, which is very good, but not great. Everyone acts like he's a guy who traditionally puts up OPS+s over 150 or higher every year, when his career high OPS+ is 146, his career average is 130, and his 3 year average is about 127. That's very good, that's not great, and it doesn't consider his other liabilities. He's regarded as comparable in value to players like Berkman, Utley, H Ramirez, Chipper Jones, etc. Some people seem to think of him as highly as Manny (not many, but a few) as a hitter, and he's not even close. I think most people think he's a better hitter than Aramis, who has just as good of a 3 year average OPS+ wise (and, ironically, the exact same OPS+ this year). Aramis is comparable offensively, plays a tougher defensive position and is much better at it. Dunn is likely to get at least 15 mil a year this year, which is about what Aramis gets now. He's not worth Aramis money, not with the other holes in his game. I don't think it's a stretch at all to say that he's overrated. lol...nobody thinks any of those things.

if 56 XBHs in 109 games is garbage then i'd quite like an entire roster full of garbage I mean the little things. Like not being lazy, swing at a strike, that kind of stuff. so the little things are more important than the big things? so confused...

far more embarrassing than soriano's performance in the NLDS, actually.

I like his shirt... and watch. i like his "suck it, cub fans" attitude.

I just can't get over the fact that the players typically care about the results less than we do. well, that just isn't true. and if it was true, and you really do care more about the cubs postseason than the players, you should probably re-examine your priorities in life.

he should definitely be in tears. or at least doing the charlie brown walk.

just give him a good shakin'.

more like sorry ass-o! who's with me?

"sorry i know"...olololololololllooloolollll!!!!!!!!

huh? usually i get your sarcastic quips but I'm not really seeing your point on this one unless he figures out how to OBP better than .310 against lefties his ceiling is probably that of a part-time platoon guy/24th man who puts up decent numbers if he plays sparingly and never ever, ever faces lhp.

hey, did you guys know that fontenot has never, ever, even once faced a left-handed pitcher? it's true.

does the company that "trains" leadoff hitters have a program to teach composure to pitchers who have to get eight outs an inning?

Huh? So one error (albeit a key one) means he was horrible? .333/.333/.750 with 2 doubles, a home run, and 4 of the 6 RBIs That's horrible? He also put the ball in play in a 3rd<2 situation. which resulted in a whopping zero run(s).

i'm not getting too jazzed up about his two run double in game 2 when it was like 43-1 in the 9th inning. everyone can stop acting like that mattered or something.

good work.

win it for the belushi that's still alive (think he's a cub fan).

just make people register and post here. if they refuse to, then they don't have to be in the league. communicating through the RK site is fine too, i suppose, but [expletive] just sits there for weeks w/o response.

the peavy trade is not remotely close to this situation. come on. peavy was traded in like june. you're trading guys you can't/won't keep for draft picks. you're literally losing nothing.

i thought that was stupid too.

maybe there should be a cap on the amount of points you can trade after the season. that way you don't have people dumping 1,800 points on the rest of the league and walking away with four draft picks.

right. except matt has not made as many deals with everyone else as he has with you. really? you don't see the difference between trading draft picks for howard and having him count against your cap this year vs. taking him with the first round pick you traded and not having his points count against your cap? you're literally losing nothing and gaining two very good draft picks. in my mind, if i trade fielder for a 1st rounder, i should probably be adding an exempt SP or something. and i don't think you should be in this league if you don't post here. it's not like it's hard or something.

it means you were hogging up VWR space for people that actually had passwords. :oops:

like eight of my windows opened at the same time. crummy seats though...section 204 to game 2. oh well, game won't happen anyway.
