  1. mob mentality is a beautiful thing, eh?
  2. he has a 174 OPS+ in 50 AB's this year. He sucked last year, but posted OPS+ of 126, 105 and 134 the previous three seasons.
  3. if the bucks knew this scenario could (or was likely) to play out, then I have no sympathy for them
  4. as long as it hasn't tasted NSBB's collective taint Hey Derwood, look behind you...down there on the ground...that's the line and you just crossed it. clearly you haven't been to the cornhole thread
  5. I think a big deal will come. Griffey, Dunn....someone.
  6. solution? 30 foot high chain link fence along the top of the wall
  7. i know this is fictional, but in my sim league, I had Kelvim Escobar put up the following line: 211.1 IP, 3.32 ERA, 209 H, 31 BB, 216 K, 24 HR, OpAvg .255, 33 GS, 22 QS final record? 6-17 my team literally scored 0 or 1 runs just about every time he pitched
  8. sample size
  9. he's still bitter that he got run out of chicago 15 years ago and had to go write his dreck for the San Jose Picayune
  10. it reminds me of how Bonds constantly infers that people treat him differently because he's black......you know, the people in the gated community of millionaires where he grew up
  11. Sucks for Milwaukee. was this a known risk? if not, i could see this getting very ugly Milwaukee should have known better. The Chinese made it very clear where he would and would not go, and they needed to work within that. Milwaukee made the mistake that the either thought they could deal Yi, or sell him on Wisconsin. Whoops. i guess i don't understand how binding draft rights are in the NBA. one would think that if a player entered the draft, the rule would/should be that he is the "property" of the team that has drafted him. if Yi gets out of this without any financial restitution for the Bucks, it could set an ugly precedent. what happens if college players start picking and choosing where they do/don't want to be drafted?

  13. Cubs pitchers would beg to differ. this is a good point. catcher is usually not counted on for much offense (esp. in the NL), so if a catcher is liked by his staff, he is likely to get a free pass with a weak bat.
  14. piniella's track record so far is to play whoever is hitting, so i have no fear that if kendall fails to deliver, he'll be benched in favor of soto/blanco (see theriot/fontenot over izturis, pagan over jones, etc.)
  15. FWIW, Tropicana Field existed pre-D-Rays
  16. i wasn't aware pie was a young impact pitcher
  17. i never like mitre much. he sucked in his first call up that said, any trade for juan pierre is bad. ANY TRADE
  18. as long as it hasn't tasted NSBB's collective taint
  19. much ado about nothing
  20. my favorite part was his being traded away. ranks up there with matt lawton in the annals of cubs stardom
  21. i think this trade is hardly worth getting worked up about. losing a minor league arm and a DFA'd catcher....who cares?
  22. Ward was plenty. ramirez, ward, kendall....how about we add snell and bay and call it a day?
  23. this deal certainly helps the disturbing lack of ex-Pirates on the club
