  1. Stone's not a stats guy. compared to Harry, he was Bill effing James
  2. I don't know a lot about the Jays, but they seem to have four lefty pitchers. If they are all relievers, then maybe Murton is the better choice -- the Cubs more likely to use a pinch hitter late in the game against a relief pitcher, and that relief pitcher for the Jays is likely to be a lefty. Given that someone will replace Marquis, but the rest of the pitching staff is pretty solid, is there a chance the Cubs would be able to package a starter, a lefty reliever, a righty reliever, and RH bat and a LH bat for a key piece at the deadline? Does Marshall, Cotts, Ascanio, Murton and Hoffpauir get Michael Young from Texas? Furcal from LA? Swap Pie for Murton and get Nate McLouth and Jack Wilson from Pitt? I'm sure some would say all those Cubs are border-line major leaguers, but would the sheer number of role players get a top prospect from a contender? usually teams won't take quantity over quality. they also don't want to deal with swapping one 40-man roster spot for five
  3. Stone complimented Harry well because Harry wasn't going to give you any hard-hitting analysis. Kasper is a stats guy, so pairing him with Stone would be redundant.
  4. Ascanio
  5. wow, Kerry really Rod Beck'd the end of that one
  6. yep, he is a pretty emotionless pitcher... :confused: ha ha, you're right. he's always pointing at the sky, screaming in rage and showing up opposing hitters on strikeouts.
  7. + incredible fan support despite disappointing results. + incredibly restrictive salary structures built into the cap + Krause being a dick and no free agents (ie McGrady, Duncan, etc.) wanting to play for him
  8. LeBron has probably been the most obvious #1 overall pick since Jordan, yes
  9. They did luck into a certain player..... so did Cleveland. how many rings have they won?
  10. I love rewritten history. Reinsdorf sucks, Krause was a douche.....seems like they lucked into 6 rings in the 90's
  11. if Greg Maddux had only shown some emotion and charisma he'd be a hall of famer
  12. sketchy, but i think he lost contact with the rubber. looked like he tapped the rubber with his toe maybe? we'll find out post-game i guess... the balk is the worst rule in sports. THAT's a balk but the fake-third-to-first move isn't?
  13. I'm not really sure whether or not ya'll have done this before, but myself, no I haven't ever seen a thread like this. Quite frankly I don't really think their was any need for your post in this thread except to just bitch for no reason. no, there was a reason.
  14. just realized this game was on WGN. my god does it look like crap compared to the HD Padres feed.
  15. oh for crap's sake. what is Kosuke doing up there tonight? is this what happens when he gets laid?
  16. the homeplate umpire looks like a hockey player
