tim tebow...er...blake griffin travels like 50% of the time he touches it.

i'll be in mesa 3/20-3/25. any other day/time is fine with me.

ah, psychoanalyzing rich hill...i'll miss those good times.

man, fontenot better do what he did last year.

Dumb play, mistake, flaw in judgment, like I said its all a matter of the adjective you want to use. I think the people that could best gauge his aptitude would be the people that he spent the most time with, mainly Lou, Hendry, other coaches, his teammates, beat writers, etc. Bruce is pretty reserved in his criticism of players, so I would tend to think that if Bruce was insinuating that Cedeno was viewed as not very bright, that would be closer to the truth than any of us posters on a message board. Where did I say anything about Cedeno and his intelligence or lack of? To try and insinuate that a player oversliding a base is somehow part of a mental flaw, I doubt that person has really spent much running the bases in a live game but if they don't overslide it while playing The show then it must not occur in real life. What is "The Show"? Oversliding a base, per se, is not generally a mental flaw. Not comprehending the situation in the game or understanding that the ball is live if you overslide, is a mental flaw. It's live regardless if it's ball 4 or strike 3, it's not like he decided to overslide the base because it was ball 4. He was running aggressively to avoid the strike em out/throw em out and his hand slipped off the bag on the outside of the base. yeah, everyone made a huge production about it because it was ball four. if it had been strike three, it wouldn't have been such a big deal. of course, the guy sliding head first into the base has no idea whether it was ball four or strike three.

i love how people make that "thrown out at 2nd base on a walk" thing into some completely idiotic move. didn't he just overslide the bag or something? oversliding the bag isn't idiotic? not really, no. it's a mistake, but it's not like he forgot how many outs there were or ran around the bases backwards.

i love how people make that "thrown out at 2nd base on a walk" thing into some completely idiotic move. didn't he just overslide the bag or something? Yep, so they're not even right. He was thrown out going from 2nd to 3rd. At least Ryan Theriot is a smart baserunner. well, he is white.

To make payroll room for Bradley and give Fontenot a chance to start full-time. except they're apparently like $8 mil under budget right now.

oh, and derosa. i'll take him back too.

i'd like to just have pie back if that's possible. thanks.

olson and cedeno for heilman. barf.

lol...there's no O or D in ronny cedeno. lol indeed.

And this would accomplish... a right-handed hitter that could come off the bench and hit the ball out of the infield. a 3b/1b backup, which the cubs feel they need. so a couple things, i guess.

cubs should sign ty wigginton.

oh no, i thought we were done with ball state talk.

it's analysis like this that keeps me coming back for more.

Then I suggest Hendry hire Bob Vila. 1.3 nccub thinks that's a groaner.

man, hendry doesn't know how to build a bench.

HURRY UP AND LOCK THIS.

stop it you two...this is like watching two drunken bums fighting each other with trash can lids.

well, i guess i just disagree with this. and i'm not a huge derosa fan by any means. hope i'm wrong.

who's more likely to improve, the 34 year old derosa or the 28 year old fontenot? i like derosa a whole lot too, but your post is pretty silly. who is more likely to improve the 30 year old gregg or the 25 year old gaudin? maybe baseball message board posting isn't for you.

pujols vs. marquis and hampton. i think i'd take pujols. right, because the cubs got rid of pujols while signing marquis and hampton. good comparison.
