  1. 78 pitches through 4? I smell a Glendon sighting! Batting practice is open Bucco's!
  2. Mercker and Alou acted like grade-A douche bags. I'm glad Stone called them out
  3. As a Cubs fan I have no problem admitting that Dave Duncan is the pitching coach god......the Anti-Rotschild as it were. Duncan takes sucky pitchers and makes them great (Ponson, Carpenter, Suppan) Rothshild takes awesome pitchers and makes them suck (Zambrano, Prior, Wood)
  4. Jagger looks like a pre-pubesent girl in that clip. that would be the ugliest prebusescent girl in history
  5. Beatles > Pink Floyd > Led Zeppelin > CSNY > Queen > The Who > Black Sabbath > King Crimson > Journey > Bad Company > Heart > Blue Oyster Cult > Molly Hatchet > Mott the Hoople > Rolling Stones
  6. Not all of us need to dye our head red. Some of us are naturally gifted. You're a Ginger? Eric Cartman would like a word with you
  7. the guy running the gamecast had a few too many oldstyles pre-game
  8. sweet, espn.com's gamecast is already farked and we;re not out of the first inning yet
  9. please never utter a carchprhase of hawk harrelson here again [-X
  10. Beltre is on the board! I no longer have anyone with 0 homers (though I do have 3 with 2 or less)
  11. perhaps they should make a baby together. his name could be Mike Tyson
  12. Well, everyone who wanted to see the kids pitch, here you go! 60% of the rotation is now Hill, Marshall and Guzman. Heck, lets' trade Zambrano and move Maddux to short relief so we can get Ryu and Brownlie up here too!
  13. the key to the Cardinals success (and the last season+ of the White Sox' success) is health. All thing being equal, one might suggest that Prior/Zambrano/Wood/Maddux/Marshall + Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez is better than Mulder/Carpenter/Marquis/Suppan/Ponson + Pujols and Edmonds or Buehrle/Garland/Vasquez/Contreras/Garcia + Konerko and Thome The truth is, however, that the Cubs can't keep that combo on the field EVER while the other two teams seem to limit the injuries on their key players. The White Sox starting 5 started 152 games last year (with McCarthy getting the other 10 starts). When was the last time that Pujols was on the DL? Dave Duncan is head, shoulders, hips and knees above Rothschild and it shows in many aspects of the game. His pitchers don't get injured, he makes bad/mediocre pitchers better (Carpenter, Marquis, Ponson) while Rothschild takes all-star quality pitchers and can't keep them healthy or consistent (Wood, Prior, Zambrano).
  14. 04/05 - 6 runs (L) Rusch gives up 4 earned runs, 2 HR, pitchers hits HR off him 04/11 - 2 runs (L) Rusch Gives up 4 earned, all home runs, Pitcher repeats performance. 04/16 - 7 runs (W) Gives up 3 earned to one of the worst teams in baseball on yet another HR 04/22 - 1 run (L) Totally lost strike Zone and while not giving up and HRs for 1st time all season, he walked the bases loaded just ahead of some guy named Puljous. 04/29 - 2 runs (L) 7 earned on 4 home Runs and 3 walks He might be the nicest guy in the world but there is a reason the yankees have 27 rings and we have 2 and its not because they keep nice guys around who cant perform we dont want him in the bullpen, he gives up WAY WAY WAY to many home runs and would destroy us. the only thing he should be used for is getting innings in blowouts like this weekends games. Save the good arms and do away with his Unfortunately, GM's aren't known for paying guys $2.5 million to mop up in blow out games.
  15. How does the east coast bias apply to the constant coverage of Barry Bonds and his race to not break a record that Ruth doesn't hold?
  16. seems ironic if the coaches are "overly cautious" with the guy when he has already been put into some tight situations with little to no room for error. I won't argue that Rothschild is a worthless pitching coach, however.
  17. Hester is now listed as a WR on nfl.com FYI
  18. Not only do I think the Stone are far worse than the Beatles, I would rank them below Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, CSNY, and The Who as far as classic rock bands go.
  19. Pargo better not be on the team next year. He's becoming the equivalent of Neifi Perez for the Bulls
  20. Amazing that this Bulls team was only .500. They play like crazy out there. If they draft Thomas and can sign a FA center, look out next year
  21. i don't feel too bad about yesterday since I had no illusions the Cubs would win that game to start with. Today, however....
