    I'm not even mad at Gregg any more. He is what he is. I'm more pissed at Lou for constantly setting the team up for failure by using the wrong guys in the wrong situations.

    so glad I stayed up for this. 1am and a loss. Awesome

    Luckiest Team In Baseball, amirite?
  4. Derwood
    oh Gregg, Gregg, Gregg

    back to the subject: seems like every team is trying to set up for a run at these guys, and most won't get them, which means that a lot of teams will be really far under the cap in '10, or that they'll overpay for mediocre FA's

    you can't force that kind of thread....it needs to just happen

    The Nationals have offered a $17 million deal, with "easy to reach incentives" that would push it to $20 million. Boras is talking $50 million. Has he finally lost it?

    sorry if this was already posted, but it looks like they're skipping Harden and sticking with their original rotation for SD, with Harden pitching Thursday

    unless your backup is Tom Brady or Jeff Hostettler

    If Mauer would sign with the Cubs, I'll pretend I had never heard of Geovany Soto

    They are averaging 4.48 runs a game. You'd rather get 3 runs a game than average 4.48 a game, just because it might be more consistent? I'm by no means a stat head whatsoever, but how skewed is that statistic. Just because you average 4.8 runs a game does not mean that you usually get 4.8 per game. We have had a few really big games this year that bump that up considerably. Obviously this doesn't happen often but that 17 run game a few days ago plus three one run games avgs near that figure. I could be wrong here, but it seems like we have had an unusual amount of games that we just can't score a run to save a life. Instead of adjusting to that a few innings in and try to scrape for some runs, Lou seems to just cross his finger for that one big inning and we end up losing by one run. Over the course of a full season, run differential tends to play out fairly accurately.

    if the pitcher is up with less than 2 outs and a runner or 2 on, fine, bunt. But the Dusty's/Sandberg's of the world like to bunt with their #2 hitter after the leadoff man singles. That's [expletive].

    he's out sick I thought it was Theriot who was out sick? both
  14. Derwood
    he's out sick

    It's going to suck to face Harden in the World Series
  16. Derwood
    BRING BACK REX AMIRIGHT. \:D/ well no, but the training camp hype didn't translate in this particular game. lots of good throws, but also bad decisions
  17. Derwood
    Cutler needs to stop forcing passes where no one is open
  18. Derwood
    not impressed with cutler so far
  19. Derwood
    That was Grossman-esque
  20. Derwood
    OKAY SERIOUSLY, PUT THE GAME ON
  21. Derwood
    Okay.....Lions game is over......switch to the Bears now NFL Network....

    I'll probably watch the first quarter of this one, but that's about it.

    they just opened a new Five Guys at a mall here and it was SWAMPED today.
