4/16 Dusty Baker's Reds (Fogg) @ Cubs (Z!) 7:05 CSN
abuck1220 replied to ctcf's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
wait, so baseball players are just as likely to get hurt on the way to the park as they are playing in the game? good stuff. -
you're fortunate wang [expletive] himself last night because my offense was actually somewhat productive. if wang had just put up a zero, i'd be down 10 with a one start advantage.
-
you advocate getting kenny lofton then talk about soriano's diminished skills?

Rays like Murt

I'm not so sure. They could always promote Kroeger as the extra OF and play Derosa in LF with Fontenot and Cedeno splitting time at 2nd depending on match ups. promoting kroeger would make no sense. -
can't wait for the cubs to dick around when it comes to putting soriano on the DL/not putting him on the DL like the phils have done with rollins. i think my luck winning games despite wholesale underperformance may come to an end this week.
-
yeah, that little duo is pissing me off.

This guy was born 20 years after Fidel. At the time of the revolution, he was a young teenager. If he was still on the island, my guess is Fidel was busy with other things to bother meeting young ballplayers. He signed with Cleveland in 65, and I assume was out of Cuba by then. So, if he met Fidel, it would have had to have been in the middle of the revolution or just after Fidel took power and was in the middle of completely overhauling the country. I'd bet they never met, regardless of how big a baseball fan Fidel was. you think it's more or less likely than roast meeting bill gates? more or less likely than roast meeting mark cuban?

i just wish chris didn't have an exempt catcher (albeit one far inferior to the one(s) i'd be offering :D ).
-
have i mentioned that i've won three effing championships in a row?
-
just so i have this right...marquis' outing sunday, in which he gave up nearly two baserunners per inning, bumped him up in the rotation. and he is now ahead of hill on the depth chart despite the fact that his season numbers are worse than hill's? and that's not even considering last year when hill was one of the better pitchers in baseball and marquis had a post-ASB ERA near 6. this logic is just a little tough to follow, so please bear with me.
-
will someone pm chris and tell him to take me off ignore? thanks.
-
yes, they definitely bench braun so gabe kapler can play. absolutely.
-
No go on Upton, but I threw a package of Rasmus & Hughes out there. i thought you said you were offering guys that were "producing?" todd van poppel has more points than hughes this year. now russell martin...there's a exempt guy with some production.
-
Boo! You know mine is the best offer you'll get. (gotta find a smiley for jedi mind tricks) Looks like no deal is going to get done today for Haren. :( you haven't responded to me yet. though if you're looking for bruce + longoria or upton + ?, i don't know how far our talks would get.
-
i wouldn't say that i've ever been ranked #1 by the board consensus. That'd be me. :D shameless self-promotion goes a long way. So do unbeaten regular seasons. bolded the important part.
-
don't fall for tim's mind games. his prospects are all over-rated and are like ten years away from making an impact. exempt guys who are already producing in the big leagues are where it's at. everybody knows that.

-
i wouldn't say that i've ever been ranked #1 by the board consensus. Well, technically you'd be unanimously ranked #1 at the end of every season. proving dozens (or at least a dozen) wrong in the process.
-
wow, lots of trash talk for a team that had to win two straight to stay out of the cellar last year. reminds me of missouri/kansas football fans.

sorry, but prince doesn't understand the difference between boasting and being excited.
-
i don't think i've bragged too much about my team since the season started...haven't had much to brag about. maybe i bragged a tad about my THREE straight titles, but i feel that was justified. i wasn't getting the respect i felt was due, so i had to make sure everyone remembered the dynasty that was in progress. you, on the other hand, have been quite the boaster. i showed some of your posts to prince fielder and he threw a tray of carrot sticks across the room. PISSED.
-
Encarnacion is on the block. What do you want to give me for him? sorry... quit trading good thirdbasemen without checking to see what i can offer first. :D
-
quit whining about other people's trades while you sit on your butt and brag about your team! :) you must have me confused with someone else.
-
I love the addition of Pronk... As soon as Granderson comes back, I'm REALLY gonna like my team! Hey Adam, are you as confident now as you were to start the year? :) sure. i'm 2-0, only 100 points or so off the pace, and teix, soriano, and martin are all hitting under .200. hawpe and uggla are under .225, and fielder has 0 homers. hill and liriano haven't done squat. plus rollins and wigginton are hurt. i'm not worried.
