    Why isn't Bruce up, since he has put up better numbers at a higher level? where is he gonna play? Dunn, Hamilton and Griffey are pretty entrenched in that OF

    So the guy last night wasn't BSing. proving (once again) that people need to not crucify posters before the rumor is proven true or false
  3. Derwood
    um, transactions?

    Hmm, I'm not so sure about that. Prince Fielder is a good player, but he's pretty out of shape for someone who is supposed to be an athlete. I think we have the right -- no, the obligation -- to make fun of him until he loses some weight. Both for his health, and our personal satisfaction. . cuz i'm sure he frequents this board and will appreciate your hard-love intervention on his obesity. at this point, he's a better hitter than anyone on the Cubs, so I don't begrudge him the extra pounds. it hasn't hurt Cabrera, Ortiz, Mo Vaughn, Cecil Fielder....

    which only reiterates why magic numbers for non-first place teams are sorta dumb. the magic number (to me) is cool because it says "if your team wins this many games, there is nothing the second place team can do to catch you"

    btw, Prince Fielder fat jokes are as lame as Hendry fat jokes or Edmonds gay jokes. enough is enough already

    he has done a good job of signing the core players to long term extensions. i still don't like his long (or short) term plan for the team

    Lou accidentally kicked an ump and got four games. Accidental or not, it's contact with an ump. Wasn't Lou just for kicking dirt on the ump? Anyway I agree. Contact is contact, doesn't matter how slight or if it was intentional. 3 games is entirely appropriate as far as I'm concerned. froemming insisted that lou made contact

    the BS appeals process will mean he won't actually serve the suspension until a convenient series with Pittsburgh or San Francisco or something

    oh, that's all we'll hear about for 3 hours on Sunday Night Baseball, believe me

    and my point was less about comparing them statistically and more about people clamoring over a guy who is maybe 5th or 6th best on his own team. latent racism? who knows, but there is no reason at all that Theriot should be selling jerseys at such a high rate when he really is just sort of okay. he doesn't even really have much personality
  12. Derwood
    It doesn't average $18 per. even more reason for them to be wrong
  13. Derwood
    people like light-hitting white middle infielders. i'm sure eckstein sold some jerseys last year too
  14. Derwood
    Soriano's contract is backloaded, so though it averages $18mil/year, he's not making that much this season
  15. Derwood
    in before the lock
  16. Derwood
    knowing Lou's M.O., Fox will sit vs. a righty. I expect Jones in RF and Pie in CF
  17. Derwood
    he's in a slump
  18. Derwood
    the problem with not calling Soto up until after 9/1 is that if he goes nuts hitting, great, but he can't be on the postseason roster
  19. Derwood
    Since the Cubs still have 3 against the Brewers and are less than 3 behind them, can't they theoretically have a magic number as well? They can still have a magic number regardless of how many times they play the brewers because they have the same number of losses as the brew crew. and, as such, there isn't a magic number for either team that doesn't include at least one loss by the other team (because if both teams won out, they would finish tied for first place)
  20. Derwood
    and the Cubs are 17-8 when he is in the starting lineup! Specious statistics FTW!
  21. Derwood
    i also hate magic numbers for non-first place teams. the way i think of it, the magic number is "one win more than the most wins the second place team can possibly get".
  22. Derwood
    at this point, we can only have a magic number because we've played fewer games than the first place team
  23. Derwood
    i probably won't participate because i'll just get mad when everyone's list includes 89% players pre-1960

    Trash talking Cardinals fans are generally frowned upon here, but its wolf so I guess thats ok? Lighten up, wolf is fun. This series is gonna be like a fight between two skinny teenagers. Probably neither deserves to win, but it'll be scrappy, ugly, and fun to watch. hey, i was a skinny teenager once!
