    Good thing the Cubs locked him up, huh! and gave him a raise!

    that news came in 'round 1997. he just wants to see the hand sanitizers get back in this game. lee was about two feet from making this one a four homer game for me.
  3. honestly, how do they keep sending him out there?
  4. i think that means that he'll be trying extra hard to throw strikes today, so the cubs should swing at a bunch of first pitches. right? also, please don't talk about barrett and his "situation" in this thread. the brewers may be reading it.

    good idea - people seem to have forgotten how good guillen is when healthy. yeah, he's solid...his 2004 was great.

    well, i guess if carlos guillen is going to outscore teix, tejada, matsui, and carlos lee, i'm not gonna win. at least all my guys suck this week, so i'm not wasting any good performances. time to set my sides on tim. :D

    crap...now tejada's hurt. so far this week i've had injuries to barrett, tejada, bradley, street and patterson. yikes.
  8. His average is up to .275 now, but as someone else mentioned, he only has the one walk and isn't getting a whole lot of extra base hits or anything. 2 hr and 1 double in 40 ab, works out to 240 bases in 600 ABs. He's actually slugging decently because of the high percentage of HR (.450) Anyway, he still needs some improvement to be worthwhile his playing time has been pretty sporadic until recently. for a while there he was just pinch running and coming in for defense. in his last six starts, he's had four multi-hit games...10-25, 2 hr, 6 rbi, 7 runs, 3 sb, 4 k's.
  9. what was there to hide? do you not think the brewers knew that he hurt his finger and may not be available today? i think if i knew it, i'm guessing the brewers did too.

    you gotta be [expletive] me! first anderson doesn't tag on a fly that would have wiped out a QS for garcia, and then dye friggin robs kotchman of a 3 run homer. now i'm sure garcia will leave with a [expletive] QS. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: He only gave up four hits . . . I have to be leading the league in walks. Hafner score 6.75 last night without a hit! yeah, i saw that. quite a productive 0-1. he only gave up four hits, but he was about six inches from giving up five (not to mention six runs). that could have made things a little more interesting. though i am down a lot more than i thought i was. my offense has done squat this week. 51 rbis last week, 19 this week...ugh. yea, even after Myers start you hadn't gained much ground. You'll have a tough task catching up though it certainly isn't impossible. i was thinking i had a chance after garcia started off so bad in the 1st. then if kotchman would have just gotten a little more on his ball, it's probably like a 12-15 point swing... bah, all i need is a couple really good starts from oliver perez and scott elarton. 8-[
  11. if dusty put that much thought into, say, having mike remlinger face lefties, maybe he'd be a better manager.

  13. And a walk. How dare Corey try when his team is already winning? i'm just glad people continue to rag on patterson when he's doing well for another team. he could save 40 babies from a burning building and people would complain that the fire wasn't even that bad by the time he'd saved #34.

    DL'ed patterson, picked up elarton. tough call between him and rusch...both are so solid.
  16. you're right, that does sound callous. in fact, it is callous. It is, but it's honestly how I feel. I prefer to be honest over politically correct. yeah, only a soft PC weiner would restrain from taking a few potshots at a guy who just died.
  17. you're right, that does sound callous. in fact, it is callous.
  18. that's the sad thing.
  19. geez...i used to come to nsbb as a break from studying. also, i'm very annoyed by the fact that every story about this makes a point to note that minor league umps are on strike and they're using replacement umps...almost as if the fact that the call may have sucked b/c the ump was a replacement justifies young's actions. and good to see that the umpire union isn't afraid to use this as some leverage for their cause. classy.
  20. where'd you find the video?

    i'm really starting to hate youkilis b/c he's screwing up enough to hurt beckett, but not enough to get him errors.

    and with one swing of the bat, i'm probably done this week. f'in beckett...may want to consider not walking the bases loaded.

    wow...not only are you putting this week's game in the bag, but you're already counting next week as a win too? two words: bulletin board. heh, we seem about even going into tomorrow given my two start advantage so far. my offense needs to come back to life! edited to add eyeroll :roll: i don't know about it being even. you're up 30 right now, and you had two QS (never would have guessed shitty washburn would have pitched so well) to my one. you'll be up by at least 35 starting tomorrow. you have two starts left (westbrook and garcia), i have three (beckett, myers and perez). i'd feel a little bit better about things if i hadn't lost patterson. my offense sucks this week too. i had 51 rbis last week, 10 so far this week. teix needs to quit hitting like sean casey have a three homer game or something.
