    OF's Adam Greenburg and Matt Murton purchased from AA West Tennessee. Dangling for trade bait or packing it in?
  2. Derwood
    Could this be the start of Jim Hendry blowing this mutha up?
  3. Derwood
    wow, source?
  4. Derwood
    New starting CF: Darren Baker. But seriously....will Corey's attitude change? How will he take this?
  5. Derwood
    I started a thread on it in "Transactions"

    Just reported at the end of Baseball Tonight. More at midnight eastern they say. WOW!

    I have to disagree with most of you. Boers and Bernstein is my all time favorite sports talkshow in my 30 years on this earth. Why? They understand that even though sports is their job, it's still sports. It's not the end of the world. People playing games for outrageous amounts of money. Plus they aren't homers. They will call out the most revered and idolized local sports figures if they say anything stupid. They told it like it was about Sosa, about Jordan, and many others. I for one am glad to have the chance to hear "Who you Crappin' " on the web now!

    It's telling when a game thread only produces 16 pages of posts. No one here even cares, and we're among the biggest fans in the world.

    Oh look, Andruw Jones is already up again. Time flies when you're getting shelled.
  10. Derwood
    This team isn't even "fun-bad"
  11. Derwood
    I know he threw the meatball on a 0-2 count, but shouldn't Barrett or mgmt get some of the blame for calling for that pitch? That's not where Barrett set up to catch it.

    What's the over/under on the Cubs being in 4th place by the break?
  13. Derwood
    That's the scoring tonight folks! Tip your wait staff!
  14. Derwood
    I stand corrected. We just used up the one run for tomorrow night's game as well.
  15. Derwood
    And their is the Cubs one and only run.

    I'm so glad I spent the $150 on MLB Extra Innings this year. So much quality baseball. At least I can watch the White Sox (ducks)

    What happened to that much ballyhooed "japanese vote" when it came to Matsui? Guess they just don't care anymore...
  18. Derwood
    Oswalt certainly deserves it. And give credit to Sox fans for voting Podsednik in. Seems like nothing is going the Yankees way this year...
  19. Derwood
    Dusty managed to burn 3 bench guys in one at-bat: 1. Corey pinch runs for Barrett 2. Dubois pinch hits for Dempster 3. Blanco now must come in for Barrett.
  20. Derwood
    And the answer is "cut". Today. Read it on ESPN.com.

    Well prior to today's game, they had snuck into 3rd place while no one was looking. Too early to tell if they'll be a factor, but I wouldn't start counting anyone out yet.

    If you don't count Roberto Alomar, that is. Alomar was the best defensively for sure, but do his production numbers add up? Plus he was controversial, spit on an umpire, and really faded badly at the end of his career. Alomar's 90's offense certainly add up in comparison to Biggio during that time. They each had 4 seasons with an OBP over .400 and they each had two more over .380. Roberto had a SLG over .500 3 times, Biggio had 2. Biggio had 4 silver sluggers, Robby had 3. Biggio led his league in runs twice, Alomar once. They are all right there. But if you had to pick 1 out of the 3 (Kent, Biggio, Alomar), who would you pick? I'd still pick Biggio.

    Well, since no one from Biggio's era is in the HOF right now, that's hard to do. If we define Biggio's era as the 90's, then he and Kent are the two best 2B of the era. I think if you elect someone to the hall of fame for being the best in their position in their era, then Biggio has to get in.
  25. Derwood
    Wow, that's it? End of discussion? With Biggio breaking the record for hit-by-pitch tonight (I know, a worthless stat) I still want to hear feedback on this. I know it's a tough pill to swallow when it comes to comparing Biggio to our beloved Ryno, but he can't be discounted just because he's an Astro.
