  1. great play by taveras...let's see if edmonds can match it next inning. oh wait, he got tossed for being a whiny pansy.
  2. he stepped out of the box, went behind the catcher and had an extended argument w/ the ump. it was a bad call, but edmonds should know better. nobody's going to bend the rules for him.
  3. why is brennaman sticking up for edmonds? you know damn well you can't argue balls and strikes, does the rule change because it's the 8th inning of game 4 and you're jim edmonds?
  4. i would have really enjoyed seeing eckstein roll into a nice 6-4-3 after the announcers got down falling all over themselves about how he doesn't strike out. larussa w/ some questionable calls this game. too bad they can't squeeze right here so everyone can call him a genius.
  5. nice loafing by jimmy all-star, by the way.
  6. nothing new so far...mulder gets his fifth DP in his last, what, five innings? and larussa's whining to the umps.
  7. the umpire rang him up! aj completely bs'ed his way onto first base. watch erstad on the replay...he's saying that he saw the ump give the out sign, which he did...what an awful, awful call.
  8. i gotta say...it wouldn't bother me one bit to see the white sox win. think of the pressure that would be put on hendry, the trib and the cubs. the white sox follow the red sox in ending really long dry spells...everyone would be looking at the cubs to get their act together. of course, that may lead to some stupid, rash decisions, so maybe that's not for the best.
  9. have the white sox given up two outs in the last two innings on failed sac bunts? hoo-ray for bunting?
  10. that dude is having some 2005.
  11. use email or PM's until you get agreement. i'm trying...
  12. i'm getting tired of re-proposing trades every day. :evil:
  13. i don't know why anyone would want him over williams, hill or rusch. or mitre, for that matter. 5th starter is the least of the cubs' problems.
  14. I received a trade offer last night. I rejected it and made a counteroffer (because the original proposal was for a draft pick I already traded). Today my counteroffer is no longer showing up. I'm not sure if it was because my counteroffer was rejected or it just disappeared. I suspect it just disappeared, because when somebody asks for my 5th round pick and I counter by offering my 4th round pick for the same player (with the snaking bracket my 4th and 5th round picks are consecutive picks anyway) it doesn't make sense to me that he'd reject it (unless he subsequently got a better deal elsewhere). plus, you get an email if someone rejects your offer. something must be wrong w/ the site. MOJ -- that's a quote from the final week of the season...one of my favorites.
  15. so is that a yes? :D by the way, this is still happening. i had three trades offered last night, and they're all gone today.
  16. i like how he asks people to look at it 'objectively', then picks and chooses the stats that make him look the best.
  17. maybe you should sleep on that burnitz for vlad deal. get back to me in the morning.
  18. I'm beginning to think that that is what is going to happen too. Damon will go to the Yankees or Angels. Beltran will become Boston's CF. Cliff Floyd coming here. So you're ok with a Murton, Wilkerson and Floyd OF? it would certainly be an improvement over '05. i was all about wilkerson last off-season, and i'm hoping his down season could lower his asking price.
  19. Against draft picks, and other rehabbing players, though. Actually this outing was in the AFL a couple of days ago. And who plays in the Arizona Fall League is my point. Angel Guzman has never pitched a full season at any level. Ever. Ever. Why on earth the Cubs insist on keeping him as a starter when he clearly cannot stay healthy is beyond me. It's going to take more than what's basically a sim game in AZ to convince me that Guzman can be counted on to give the 2006 Cubs anything. the best prospects in baseball.
  20. i'm surprised this thread hasn't turned into an 'all hail small ball' parade with the way the cardinals are scoring runs. the squeeze is the most overrated play in baseball.
  21. i did. it's a good one too.
  22. i keep making trade offers on the site, but then they disappear the next day...and i don't get an email telling me that the trade has been rejected. anybody know what's up?

    newbies... :roll: :D
  24. i think it's become pretty much par for the course to say that pie is raw...because he is raw on the bases and at the plate. i think that some of that talk has just seeped into discussion about his defense, whether true or not. i am very much looking forward to the 2006 season in des moines.
