As I left, me and a few hundred people who were exiting watched the Michigan game from the TVs on the ground level. It was unbelievably insane. We all jumped around and screamed after that last blocked FG. My throat is sore from screaming.
Counsell. He's not good at all, yet he's still on a big league roster. And yes, his batting stance is the most ridiculous thing ever and he should be beat up for it.
*pinch* Crap, I'm not dreaming. This is a bad trade. Cherry and Moore were never going to be great in the majors, but they are both better than Trachsel. :x
As was Micah Owings. That one stung. I really liked Owings in the draft and was hoping the Cubs would spend the money. Oh well, at least they got Eric Patterson between the two. Most people seemed to think they wouldn't get both. I felt the same way. I was hoping we'd sign him, and was worried we'd end up with neither after Owings spurned us. Thankfully, EPatt signed.
A few years ago, Larry Walker, Cliff Floyd, Pedro Martinez, Moises Alou, and Randy Johnson would have made them pretty good. And they would currently have Grady Sizemore.
I thought for sure he retired a few years ago. Of course, a beating like this might warrant bringing pitchers out of retirement. I believe he came out of retirement this season. I think this game will send him right back.
Good hitter, but didn't get on base much and had average power. Not your typical middle of the order hitter. Wasn't a bad player in his prime, but he wasn't exactly a superstar either.
