  1. this week could be decided tomorrow with four starters going for EofT.
  2. Maybe not, but he plays the weakest position on the roster besides C, as a 2b. Utley, Kinsler, Uggla, Roberts, Phillips, Upton, and Pedroia disagree that 2B is a weak position. Guess it's a position of weak value to me. You can find just as many, most likely more, players of that calibur at every other position (minus catcher). yeah, but they don't play 2b.
  3. ankiel was like throw-to-the-backstop wild. when i saw hill in iowa he was like 50% strikes and he wasn't bouncing pitches, throwing it over the catcher's head, etc. ankiel was much worse off than that, if i remember. though hill's last few outings seem to be veering closer to ankiel territory.
  4. but you weren't selling him as exempt!
  5. kelly johnson is available.
  6. towles has homered in three straight at AAA, and liriano threw seven shutout innings (9 k's) yesterday. anytime those guys want to come back up and be productive is fine with me.
  7. i'll trade him back to you if you want, don.
  8. agreed! woo hoo!
  9. there's a difference between "mentioning" the cardinals and throwing full-fledged hissy fits about how it's not fair how lucky they are. but, hey, if that's how people want to spend their summer, i guess that's their right.
  10. not that it's effecting our matchup or anything, but i don't believe billy butler is eligible to be on the minor league roster. also, buddiga's roster is kind of a mess.
  11. instead of whining like pathetic white sox fans about how "lucky" the stupid cardinals are, how about you babies enjoy the cubs' season...after all they have like the best record in the NL. this has been the best cubs season of my lifetime and instead of being able to enjoy it, i come here and have to read you cry babies nitpicking individual plays of the freaking cardinals' season just to see if they are unfairly getting lucky. i mean, seriously, we're sitting here arguing about whether some back up middle infielder is having what you would technically consider a "lucky" season. and if he, is that really fair to the poor cubs??? it's truly pathetic. either all you emo, woe is me cub fans need to get into some other self-hating ritual (cutting perhaps?) or i'm going to have to put you all on ignore.
  12. kelly johnson in for an injured uggla. by the way, is johnson exempt? http://roadkill123.baseball.sportsline.com/players/playerpage/292279
  13. sherrill gives up a two-out, two-strike save-blowing hr for the second day in a row. don't make me pick up trevor hoffman, georgie boy.
  14. Mark Mulder is toast. You forget which team he plays for... :Duncan's Pixie Dust: What teams did he play for the last 3 years? and what did the cardinals give up to get him? hint: a lot.
  15. looper's about in line with what you'd expect him to be and dempster's been one of the best starting pitchers in the league. you're right...they're not very similar...dempster's success is WAY more out of leftfield than looper's.
  16. i don't see how the team cannot suspend him for a couple games.
  17. That says a lot about you as a manager.... :) what do my three championships say about me as a manager? ZING!
  18. you deserve to lose when you pitch to pujols with first base open.
  19. i would never want 12 starts to choose from. the chances of me picking the right ones would be zero.
  20. weak. looper is the same guy he's always been (actually a little worse)...he's just doing it as a starter. larue's hitting .240. brendan ryan is OPS-ing like .660 and has like 100 ab's. DEAL WITH THE DEVIL!
  21. you're damn right you'd rather be facing NC in the playoffs.
  22. please list the 20 cardinals and the 3 cubs. because i can think of four cubs in two seconds w/o even trying.
  23. everybody stop saying emboldened.
