  1. this guy is a professional first baseman? he doesn't know that he can tag lee?
  2. hard to put guys on base when every AB results in a hr or fly out to the warning track
  3. 4 straight deep flies, I'm excited for this game!
  4. Is anyone sure that really was ramirez playing yesterday? (would have made more sense to post this when he was busy striking out repeatedly)
  5. The Cardinals must fear him for a reason
  6. He wasn't expecting the throw but should have had it, it went through his glove (carlos should have thrown to second)
  7. Yes he is. A good game does not erase a terrible career. My point is is that is getting a little ridiculous to see everybody freak out if he is in the starting lineup. He shouldn't be a starter, but obviously he will start some games this year. Can we stop the NSBB PMS whenever he is starting? start some games? who has the most PA's at second base this season? it ain't walker or hairston Actually, I'm pretty sure it is Walker. neifi: 10 Walker: 8

  9. Did Kaspar just apologize for being distracted by his chin? Yes, he lost his train of thought
  10. Ray nicknamed me "tubby" big guys who got worn out in running games got insulted more in previous decades
  11. this thread would be funnier if you fixed the topic. I think. (I know it got this title because the other one had the same broken style title)
  12. wow, I'd figured most everyone had watched varitek catch wakefield. I honestly belive what I'm saying here: I could catch him better than varitek (and there are only a few people in the majors I'd feel comfortabl saying that about)
  13. the reds have cheerleaders?? I guess it's to make up for the lack of fans
  14. 37? in a row? Carrying over from last year. (He finished 2005 on a 36 game hitting streak.) I'd also like to say that it's 6:00 AM on the second day of the season and I'm already sick of off-days. Don't worry about it, you just missed a joke
  15. In other words, there's no such thing as team chemistry affecting play, and we have to wait until the end of the season to see who won to then go back and apply the label of good chemistry or bad chemistry. Someone should consult a social psychologist (not necessarily you, goony). It's certainly not my area of expertise, but I don't doubt the existence of "chemistry" having an impact on performance. I suspect that, if it exists, it's a multipolar function. That is, good chemistry can make a team perform worse and bad chemistry can make it better. Or, if you want to define "good" as improving performance, guys who don't like each other and guys who do can both result in improved performance It seems a pretty futile discussion
  16. Kind of like the opposite of maddux's first start in 2004, but for the reds. A lot more fun from this side
  17. i missed that. why? "valentin looks extremely comfortable at the plate. There's a way to make a guy uncomfortable"
  18. Brenly just advocated throwing at valentin
  19. You're welcome, Semantics Police. Edit: For the record, the Sun-Times article title is "Grace says Sosa's bulk had to be artificial" Is that any different than what I wrote. It clearly states Grace accused Sosa of artifcial enhancement. Sorry--not trying to single out anyone, this should apply to me as well and everyone else. It's too bad the Sun-Times feels the need to sensationalize their reporting by misrepresenting the article contents in the title line. We don't need to fall into that same trap. This particular article is extremely bad. How can they say Grace is saying Sosa HAD to have used steroids, when the article couches everything in the "speculation" category? That's ridiculous. If the Sun-Times wants to lie to its readers, that's their business. We shouldn't follow suit. I don't think it's unreasonable to read between the lines when the quote in question is telling you to read between the lines
  20. My, did I have fun when a Syracuse alum said that last year
  21. It's ok to be wrong, we even let cardinals fans post here! The bartman play doesn't excuse agonz no matter where the ball lands. It does, however, indict god. I'm not afraid to admit I'm wrong. I just have this ability to realize the truth. And the truth is that it wasn't interference according to the rules. That's a fact. So the rules stipulate that fans can reach out into the playing field and grab balls that would otherwise be in play. Interesting. I sort of thought that was frowned upon
