  1. Untrue, but not surprising that people forget the other good thing Cutler has done this year. I've only seen about half the games
  2. this is what I expected from Cutler all year. Not sure why he's had no touch to this point
  3. I've never sensed anti-Chicago bias from him. Pro-Favre bias, yes
  4. Where's WilsonA2000? Waiting for the first Cutler INT before he pipes up?
  5. the streak, playing for his dad, full career with one team, plus 3000+ hits is what got him in
  6. AP is gonna go for 150+ today
  7. Someone should break one of Ron Turner's fingers every time he calls a bubble screen
  8. Florida might do it......for Pedroia, Ellisbury and Lester
  9. Brady Quinn is getting good protection but can't hit the side of a barn right now. His passes aren't even close
  10. Trammell: .285/.352/.415/.767 2376 Hits, 412 2B's, 185 HR, 1003 RBI, 236 SB's Larkin: .295/.371/.444/.815 2340 Hits, 441 2B's, 198 HR, 960 RBI, 379 SB's as a comparison: Ripken: .276/.340/.447/.787 3184 Hits, 603 2B's, 431 HR's, 1695 RBI, 36 SB's
  11. Larkin and Trammell (to me) are "Hall of Very Good" type players, but not legendary
  12. this "the season's over" stuff is starting pretty early, even for illini fans
  13. Missouri's helmets look like they were painted with auto-primer on them.
  14. oof, I hope not
  15. Hasn't Andy MacPhail been angling for that job for awhile?
  16. Do you think Castros really ready? The last thing we want is to rush the guy. It will be interesting to see if Jaramillo can work miracles with Castro. All of the stories have said that Hendry is kind of prepping Theriot for a move to 2B, but I really think Castro needs a little more time in the minors. It wouldn't surprise me if he's called up part way into the season. You're right about not wanting to rush him. There would be a lot of pressure on a 20 year old playing SS on a contending team. It's been Hendry's M.O. to rush top prospects (see: Patterson, Pie, etc.) so it wouldn't surprise me if he broke camp with the big team
  17. Because that's where the NC game is being played
  18. Actually, Theriot will probably start at 2B
  19. Maybe personally you feel that way, but there's no way he isn't a first ballot guy given what voters look at: He's extremely popular in the baseball community, a MVP award, multiple gold gloves at SS, nearly a career .300 hitter, 12 All-Star games. He's a lock. he's pretty low on the Gray Ink test (if you put any weight into that) he's also far behind in most HoF stat milestones. We'll see how the vote goes Ironically, he won the MVP in 1995, but finished 12th in the voting in 1996 (for a season that was far, far better)
  20. I think Larkin is borderline.
  21. Alomar (minus spitting) is a no-brainer. But the spitting will get blown completely out of proportion and overshadow his entire career (in the eyes of the voters)
  22. no, a 3-loss USC team would get in first
  23. My world will never be the same.... ...just kidding, I don't really care
