  1. despite staying up until 1am, my kids let me sleep in a little
  2. rotoworld saying Moustakas signed for undisclosed sum
  3. those tigers, they sure don't have enough young pitching
  4. i want you to call my in-laws immediately In a way, it's a good thing. Some early success might make LaRussa less likely to take him out when he inevitably starts sucking a condition known in the medical field as "Managerial Neifitosis"
  5. Dear Derrek, Pretty Please, with sugar on top. SWING THE (^$&^%(*&^*&^ BAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
  6. when I read the thread title (and saw it was started by IMB!) I figured it was going to be a "who's fatter" contest between Miggy and the cartoon character
  7. Pirates fans should take solace in the Weiters situation, as they now know they'd never ever sign him
  8. 21 K's is more likely. 5 HR would have to be accomplished by a player who is not normally a home run threat, so the manager would keep saying "there's no way he hits another one"
  9. my dreams of a 75 win team making the playoffs are still alive!
  10. it was exciting, but Fontenot/Murton's warning track power coupled with Zambrano deciding to suck again took most of the fun out of it
  11. i'm sure they're giving each other reach-arounds in celebration as we speak they don't deserve much credit though, as if anything, it's the 100,000 mouth-breathers at FARK.com who tipped the scales (assuming they even considered the votes)
  12. Miggy is the anti-Kerry Wood (re: weight) whereas Kerry looks like he hasn't eaten anything for 6 months, Miggy is looking more and more like Bartolo Colon OLD MIGGY: http://www.somos10.com/pics/Miguel%20Cabrera%202.jpg NEW MIGGY: http://media.miamiherald.com/smedia/2007/08/05/19/899-hit06_marlins_spts_wmm.standalone.prod_affiliate.56.JPG
  13. I hate trying to get autographs. Even at our A-Ball stadium, I feel like a total d-bag standing by the dugout with the 8 year olds. at least I don't have a binder of baseball cards in custom made plastic sleeves
  14. And I'm just saying that they play the Cardinals Monday as well. So how about a 7 game prediction? wow
  15. Its a little early in his career as a hitter to be saying that. Ankiel is homerun or nothing. He doesnt take walks at all. There have been plenty of guys to come up, and look like world beaters at first, only to have the league figure him out rather quickly, i.e. Mike Fontenot, Bo Hart, etc... Chris Shelton, Jack Cust.... Cust is still hitting. yes, but just 1 HR in his last 19 games, and just 3 in his last 32
  16. i would not welcome the media circus and myriad distractions brought about by signing bonds
  17. I read that and the first thing that came to my cynical Cub mind was Woody... :cry: :cry: maybe Dempster has come down with those mysterious "back spasms" that always hit our terrible relievers
  18. Its a little early in his career as a hitter to be saying that. Ankiel is homerun or nothing. He doesnt take walks at all.

  19. 1%= 1 out of 100. There are usually, what, about 250 pitches combined between the two teams in a standard game? So 2-3 pitches per game are being called based on race?
  20. I've heard what MJ&H do, so I'm not clicking that link. There is nothing "great" about any of them
  21. if/when the Cubs win the division, remind me to check this cam again
  22. on the one hand, you want Milwaukee to lose, on the other, St. Louis isn't far behind. Ideally, St. Louis would win 2 of 3 while we sweep
