Dunn to the Dbacks

i think we can all agree that we want a guy who hits 75 hrs and strikes out zero times. -
don't start harden if it's gonna rain.
-
has anyone ever had two SP's throw no-hitters on the same day...and have both of those guys ON THE BENCH???!!!! i guess it makes me feel better to know i was practically trying to give both danks and sanchez away and none of you knuckleheads were smart enough to take them from me.

what a truly awful trade by the reds. very excited about all the terrible articles that will be written about dunn over the next couple days though. -
i don't think dempster is funny at all. but he's made up for it by being really good at pitching this year.
-
thank goodness justice has a world series vote.
-
who cares? anyway, no way in hell i want winn's contract for next season. yuck.
-
thanks to the H2H tiebreaker, if i beat HBC next week, i clinch a playoff spot. of course, if he beats me, i'm in trouble.
-
the east is completely up in the air right now. don't like my chances against raw given his pitchers face atl (x2), wash, sea, sd, and la. also raw is going to get a lot more ab's than me given that teixeira has as many days off (5 game week for the angels...wtf) as raw's entire offense. and his all-mets offense gets 7 games against pittsburgh and washington. pulling pretty hard for tootielicious this week.
-
but the guys you are trying to trade for have not (i'm guessing).
-
i agree that 7 doesn't sound like a lot, but when you think about what st. louis would have to do record-wise from here on out, it sounds a lot better.
-
if the cubs go .500 the rest of the way, the cardinals would have to play .681 ball to finish ahead of the cubs. TOAST.
-
pujols is taking lilly deep this inning. bad idea.

Jim Caple article on the closer role
abuck1220 replied to Clem Fandango's topic in General Baseball Talk
yeah, don't lump cubs borowski with indians borowski. he was actually good when he was with the cubs. -
use him as much as you can when he's healthy. if he gets abused and subsequently gets hurt...eh, he was probably going to get hurt again anyway.
-
does this process work? people who don't post at nsbb aren't going to know who is on waivers and aren't going to put their own players on waivers.
-
I think you have to use the DFA method and expose him to waivers in order to get him to the minors. Eyre will be traded, probably for a PTBNL in the next 10 days. If not, somebody will claim him in the waiver process. Zero chance anyone claims Scott Eyre off waivers. 100% chance someone does. Shall I say it again for emphasis? No one is going to take on a $1+ million commitment for two months of a mediocre (at best) relief pitcher who has a very real chance of being horrible. sure they will looks like someone is taking on that salary.
-
that's not true.
-
i'd rather have rich hill in a back brace out there than marquis.
-
i'll buy the "it makes it more interesting" theory, but not the "it makes perfect sense" one. i just realized i beat tootielicious in our first matchup and that i'm only one game back of him. if i can beat him in our second matchup, that could be big.
-
LOL...look...I agree the decision was awful, but come on. Lee should tell Piniella what to do? That's possibly the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. that is great.
-
not quite as bad as letting howry face russell branyan...but still pretty damn bad.
-
I don't agree with that. If two teams tie at the end of the year, the team that won both meetings should be the tie breaker. If they are still tied after that tiebreaker, then total points should break that tie. why? because you happened to have a lower scoring week the weeks the two teams matched up? it's not like you can prevent the other team from scoring points or something. total points is clearly a better indicator of which team is better. head to head matchups are completely random and don't tell you anything about what team is better.
-
that being said, i still don't know who i should be rooting for in the HBC/DE matchup.
