team spirit, to be a spark, to light a fire, etc. and so there can be two full 4x100 teams. -
you suck, flash.

wow, beckett sucks.

tony womack, your spot is open!

not comparable whatsoever. enlighten me as to the difference. omg. is bochy shutting him down for the year? and young sucks. heck bochy might make as much as him. :) so the 'he who makes more $, gets to make the decision' rule only applies 1) when it involves shutting down a pitcher for the season 2) the player is the highest paid guy on the team 3) the player doesn't suck 4) and, of course, 'depends on the situation.'

That doesn't mean a thing tell that to joe torre. pro athletes can't be managed like a bunch of employees at microsoft. I'm willing to bet microsoft makes every effort to keep their employees from getting hurt at work. Seeing as pro athletes are much larger investments to their teams, they should be managed accordingly. When you are paying someone millions of dollars of guaranteed money for several years, you decide how to best use their services to win games. Hendry did and he clearly made a big mistake. Wood's opinion is irrelevant. Cub doctors said he couldn't get hurt any further. whether or not he could get hurt any further is not the issue. the issue is that letting him pitch could delay his '06 debut. and it did. come on.
-
bah...why did bochy take young out right there? young should get to make that decision...he makes more money than bochy.
-
am pretty sure wood based his decision on doctors saying he couldn't injure himself any further. ballplayers need medical specialists to make informed decisions. You truly believe that ballplayers should decide even with informed decisions upon when they should be shut down? You CAN'T be serious. he's not. it's called trolling.

normally, i would wonder why comments like this don't get you banned. but then you say stuff like... ...and i realize that comedy like that just can't be replaced. yes, lets change the subject now after you realize you misunderstood the question, "Do you wish you would have had that surgery sooner than August 31?" nice devil advocate label tho. pot meet kettle. thanx for doing the interview kerry. :) man, you're obnoxious. i did misunderstand the question. but that doesn't change the fact that wood should not be the guy who decides when he has surgery. frankly, i don't care what wood said. his comment proves nothing that you've said throughout this entire thread. quit acting like it proves you right or something. not sure if i'd rather be labeled obnoxious or a devil advocate. lol i'm sure you love both equally, which is why i shouldn't even bother w/ trolls. you just like the attention.

i thought he was saying he was glad that he didn't finish out the season, and that having surgery then (as opposed to waiting til the end of the season) was the right decision. wow, the cubs are even dumber than i thought if wood was the guy calling the shots.
-
welp, looks like you'll have to find a different issue to play devil's advocate about. i'm sure you'll find something.
-
i thought this was going to be some kind of 'statement' move...and it was. the statement was that they needed another guy so they could go three deep for 4x100 relays. fastest team ever???
-
i like the guy who says that the decision to have wood pitch out of the pen last year was the 'prudent and wise' choice. then two pages follow which just rip his sad little claim apart, and he is just oblivous to it all, rattling off imaginary [expletive] about howry and throwing in a couple things about matt lawton (?!). welp, if no one says otherwise, i guess i'm just right.
-
And the funny thing is, I will only stick to my guns until someone can poke holes in the logic surrounding their decision. sarcasm? No, honesty. I mean it. I didn't base my opinion of this move on anything other than the logic at the time the decision was made. To base it on anything else, anything including any hindsight would be unfair. If someone can engage the facts and logic that I have laid out and show how it is either incomplete or faulty, I will gladly alter my opinion. dude, that's all the last two pages of this thread is. there were TONS of people who said it was a bad idea last year when it was going on, so it's not hindsight. i started to respond to each one of your 'points' and then i get to stuff about matt lawton and what if's involving players that weren't on the team last year, and i realized that you're either stubbornly grasping at straws or just trolling. either way, i decided it wasn't worth it.

interesting, though not surprising. as i've said before, teams seem to just be killing him inside because he can't pull anything w/ any authority. the majority of his hits are bunts to the left side or slaps past a drawn in 3b, so it makes no sense to pitch him outside...you'd just be playing to his (few) strengths.
-
his defense is not good. then he's dead to me.

fast + good defense = :thumright:

the frigid conditions in san diego have limited pierre to an 0-13 in the series. :cold:

how many times does the sac bunt have to fail...
abuck1220 replied to abuck1220's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
? so a sac bunt leads to a run more often in 7-6 games than it does in 7-5 games? are you kidding me? how does the sac bunt know if it's a one run game or not? there's so much about baseball cosmos that i don't understand...
