  1. In case Deucebaseman doesn't believe that PetCo is the reason Greene is better on the road: 2007 San Diego Padres AS A TEAM: Home: .235/.310/.378 72 HR, 323 R Road: .265/.330/.440 99 HR, 414 R
  2. why does this argument keep happening? Theriot should bat 10th in any order in the league. that's right, 10th
  3. Stop trying to make the playoffs with a .400 record. well i wouldn't say they are trying very hard. if they make the playoffs with a .400 record its' not becasue of their awesome effort
  4. an interesting thing about that 3 HR game....was he challenged because he had Pie batting behind him? In other words, you put a better hitter behind him (Roberts, Fukodome, etc.) does he see more fastballs or less? In turn, moving him down to #5 in the order likely puts a Pie-like hitter behind him, meaning the pitchers are more likely or less likely to throw him fastballs?
  5. Well, he had 233 PA's leading off an inning, hitting .313/.339/.571 I'd say most of those were as the #1 hitter, as he only had 40 total PA's batting elsewhere (3rd, 5th or 8th)
  6. it's very easy to paint a senators voting record as negative. Clinton has tried in several debates, and Obama has done a good job of rebutting her claims. I think specifically of the debate where she put into question how many times Obama cast a "non-vote" in the Illinois senate, trying to frame him as someone who was either non-committal, absent, etc. He rebutted with the fact that if there was a good bill with some questionable aspects, he felt it best to non-vote, as he didn't want to look like he was against the principle of the bill, but also couldn't in good faith allow it through with the questionable portions intact
  7. in his 3 HR game, Soriano lead off twice (1st and 4th inning) and hit 2nd in the 2nd (his second HR). Now when he hits leadoff HR's, your #2 hitter is essentially leading off, as there are still 0 on, 0 out. Felix Pie was batting 2nd that day and struck out on a wild pitch in the 1st (reached 1st), and struckout looking in the 4th. not sure what my point is, just looking at the game log. Oh, and 6 of our 9 "leadoff hitters" reached in that game.
  8. that last at-bat of the year, eh? I'll give you THREE at-bats, all in the same game! YOU READY? AB #1: Pitch 1: Ball in Play - Home Run AB #2: Pitch 1: Ball in Play - Home Run AB #3: Pitch 1: Foul Pitch 2: Foul PItch 3: Ball in Play - Home Run See, wasn't that fun?
  9. why not? and who says it will be Grossman? it very well could be ORton. either way, I think people make a bigger deal out of the QB pos then is really needed. Johnson would GREATLY improve a position we need improving. i don't think you can make too big a deal about the QB position in regards to a WR, as the WR is rendered completely useless when the QB can't get the ball to him.
  10. I was told there would be no math
  11. Feel like singing? I did sing it! My boys went all dressed up in Cub outfits to school today....its the hap happiest day of the year.... Opening Day is a brazillion times better than today.
  12. does Chad Johnson really want to go from Carson Palmer throwing to him to Rex Grossman? i don't see that ending well
  13. i'll be the first to admit that Williams has been way better in the pros than i thought he'd be. I watched that Illinois team all season and I think the fact that they (seemingly) just passed the ball around and shot 3's all game lulled me into thinking that none of Williams/Head/Brown would translate well into the NBA. I'd take Williams over Hinrich 100 times out of a 100
  14. Bottom of the 1st: - Roberts walks - Roberts caught stealing - Theriot out 4-3 - Lee out 7 unassisted Bottom of the 2nd: - Ramirez LEADING OFF OH NOES!!!
  15. I have changed my team name from the Columbus Derwoods to Bynum & Sellin' Em'
  16. the court at Vanderbilt has to be the most [expletive] thing i've ever seen. Why is the court like 15 feet too big on every side, and then also 3 feet off the floor?
  17. because we blame Dusty more for overusing him than for Neifi sucking. plus, no one has problems with Neifi's personality the way we do with Hundley/LaTroy/etc.
  18. Penn State is perpetually ranked somewhere between 16-23 every single preseason
  19. Macias takes my top spot, but yeah - Hundley was godawful. I'll vote for Mel Rojas...this is fun. LaTroy Hawkins
  20. he was a high draft pick, but had a messed up shoulder in college that he never really recovered from
  21. they should definitely show Pie videos of Patterson and Choi's big loopy swings to show him how NOT to approach hitting at the major league level
  22. Off the same pitcher if I remember correctly...likely a feat that will never be repeated. wasn't that pitcher Park? or was it Ishii?
  23. Wouldn't that be called "collusion"? it's the dictionary definition of collusion, yes
