    no way, then there would be no lovable underdog to root for!

    Ignoring for a moment that Lee won't be going anywhere with that no trade clause of his, but why would the Padres have any interest whatsover in Derrek Lee? They have a guy in AAA that could provide better production than Lee, and at league minimum. I also don't mean to be rude, but do you honestly believe that the current home run leader in the NL and his puny contract (he makes a little more than twice as much as Aaron Miles) couldn't net a way better package from just about any other team in baseball? Meh, I just threw the idea off the wall after I heard someone say the Padres could be looking to move him. I'd probably move heaven and earth to take a shot. A short discussion with a friend of mine convinced me it'd be easier than I thought to grab him. it probably wouldn't be that hard if the cubs had a better farm system san diego isn't going to be looking for guys making big bucks...they would want solid, young prospects for AGonz... maybe the white sox? The White Sox don't have solid young prospects. yeah, just spit ballin' since they made a move for peavy... is there really anyone in the league that actually matches up somewhat well for this colossal trade?

    i don't agree from an ESPN standpoint because ESPN is [expletive]. However, from a baseball perspective, the NL Central is not given enough props and thoroughly crapped on regularly. It IS a tough division, maybe one of the toughest in the league... but whatever...AL East...blah blah blah
  7. A-Cal
    But, but we're more left-handed this year, so facing righties is no problem!!! Damn straight, nothing is an obstacle for the dominant 2009 Chicago Cubs, the greatest team ever assembled and a shoe-in for their first World Series Championship in, what, a long time right?
  8. A-Cal
    um, yeah, do it
  9. A-Cal
    by the way, before any goes into freak-out mode, that was for comedic relief and not serious
  10. A-Cal
    Yeah, because if the wind isn't blowing in, that ball isn't out, right? Great season followed by a bust one. Look up the stats. I'll wait for the season to end--thanks. 1 HR this season and hitting under .215 He's got some time to turn it around but it's not going to be easy. that's what your mom said to me last night after i was in and out in 5

    GREATEST GAME EVAR ](*,)
  12. A-Cal
    that was a poignant way to end the inning
  13. A-Cal

  14. A-Cal
    dobedobedoo this blows
  15. A-Cal
    holy christ
  16. A-Cal
    ok...losing tonight and listening to morgan and phillips might cause me to kill innocents
  17. A-Cal

  18. A-Cal
    holy boogers...the sunday game is on ESPN? that should be magical
  19. A-Cal

    I want you to prove that rotation is mediocre. You've said it repeatedly, you are wrong, and I'd like for you to produce some sort of evidence that Zambrano, Harden, Lilly, Marquis, Marshall is a mediocre rotation. Here's what those five guys' career ERAs as a starter are, and how many starts you can anticipate them making (based on history): Zambrano 3.47 32 Lilly 4.34 28 Harden 3.38 17 Marquis 4.47 32 Marshall 4.67 17 That leaves 36 starts to be absorbed by other members of the pitching staff -- relievers, minor leaguers, whatever. We'll give that group of fillins a collective ERA of 5.00. Run the numbers and your starting rotation as a whole puts up an ERA of 4.27. Here's how a 4.27 starters' ERA would rank amongst NL clubs in the last 5 years: 2008 8 2007 5 2006 4 2005 10 2004 10 That's an average ranking of 7.4 out of 16. Looks mediocre to me. FWIW, Philly's starters' ERA in '08 ranked 7th in the NL; St. Louis's starters' ERA in '06 ranked 12th. Hope this helps. good job with the numbers, now you can impress the masses

    the dempster contract is terrible next
  22. A-Cal
    good lord, why even bother reading or posting on this board if every post is going to be the same? just let people be whoever they want to be, most likely they didn't kick your dog, so stop acting like they did
  23. A-Cal
