    I can't say anything bad about the big 10 because I just heard a rumor we might be going there. seriously?
  2. Derwood
    is Van Slyke's kid with the Dodgers now? He was in the Cardinals system in 2006
  3. Derwood
    Teixeira traded and Hudson maybe having TJS....kiss off the Braves this year, they are DONE

    through 30 AB's in Oakland, Murton posted a -27 OPS+ before being demoted
  5. Derwood
    would you play a .115 hitter? He's not a .115 hitter. my fault, he's a .100 hitter in Oakland. Nice -27 OPS+ too

    seriously, and carlos zambrano is one of our pitchers. every team has at least one or two players who showboat; get over it. No kidding. I'm tired of fans and players and managers who get all pissy when a hitter does the most impressive thing in all of baseball and basks in it. I wish they'd go back to the old days where if you showboat after a homerun, you get earholed next time up. It's ridiculous how much the hitters get away with nowadays. seriously?

    Rotoworld saying the Sox are talking to the Dodgers about a Manny deal, but that LA wants to offload Andruw Jones' contract. I can't see that happening
  8. Derwood
    There is a pattern forming here with Baker's teams. Why would you even let your players watch the broadcast, much less react to what announcers are saying about you? Grow up

    BoSox want Doug Brocail. stop the presses

    I only posted it because Mahay is a name some here have brought up as a target

    I've never been drunk at a game. I simply can't afford it. In other news, every bathroom on the concourse at The Cell has about 20 urinals and dudes still pee in the sink, so the trough is not exactly the worse I've seen

    Built-in excuses for Lou? Yes, it's stupid to keep a reliever on the active roster but not use him, in part because it's easy to get rusty over those long breaks. Why would he be wrong for criticizing Lou about Eyre being rusty? he would be right, i'm just saying that Keener98 is going to complain either way. Either he doesn't put him in and Lou is dumb, or he puts him in and Lou is dumb

    per Rotoworld
  14. Derwood
    how soon you forget the guy that made two threads with his first two posts that said I told you so about Theriot this was worse
  15. Derwood
    I understand hes trying to make do right now, but there is no reason at all for Eyre to be banished right now. Hes done nothing to justify it at all except the first time he is brought in and gives up a run, you'll be the first one jumping in to question the move. I'm not sure what you would do differently. When your pen is taxed and you have a guy who should have a fresh arm, he needs to be used plain and simple. sure, but when he gives up 3 runs then you'll say "see, Lou can't use a pen because Eyre is rusty." I'm just saying there are built-in excuses for every failed bullpen situation
  16. Derwood
    you just outline a 3 step plan for teams not kicking to Hester.

    Umm, what? if he doesn't develop into a #1 or #2 WR, then his value is limited to returns, where most teams will kick the ball away from him or, on punts, just kick it out of bounds
  19. Derwood
    I voted Lilly, as the general thought was that the "lefty-crushing" Brewer lineup was going to tag him for 10 runs.
  20. Derwood
    It's gonna be horrible if/when he shows up and the media swarms. I genuinely feel sorry for that dude
  21. Derwood
    it was a bad move having Howry face Branyan. I don't think anyone's going to argue that. But it's not like he can go the rest of the year never playing Eyre or Howry again, and opposing GM's aren't falling over each other to give us more effective pen help. I have zero confidence that anyone in the minors would play any better than Howry right now.
  22. Derwood
    I don't particularly trust Wuertz, Ascanio or Hart in that situation either. Lou is trying to make do. He can't run with a 3 man pen all year
  23. Derwood
    if Hester never develops on the offensive side, then they just paid a guaranteed $15M to get other teams to kick the ball out of bounds
  24. Derwood
    The Cubs are something like 31-15 on CSN. What's their record on WGN? Not as good I suspect. This is important because the TV station they are broadcast on is the single most crucial element to winning or losing
  25. Derwood
    i was POSITIVE the Cubs had lost this game. I was watching it on a delay off the DVR. First, just as I start watching, CT IM's me with one word: "vomit". Then i'm perusing NSBB and I see the Howry rant. I was not expecting a positive outcome at all
