  1. the season is over, what's the point of benching soto if he's not injured?
  2. too busy committing rapes
  3. trick question, because neither team bothers to propose this trade
  4. if the cubs were running away with the division i'm sure milton wouldn't want out of here.
  5. i like the rbi. i know it doesn't have much predictive value, but i do think it's interesting to know who has driven in the most runs.
  6. breach of contract? playing pickup softball is breach of contract? I'd like to hear this. It could easily be. These guys have clauses in their contracts that ban them from participating in all sorts of physical activities. Teams don't generally call them out on it, even if the activity leads to an injury, but it's in there. softball? Sure, I've read some things about the various clauses in the standard MLBPA contract, but I've never seen anything that would suggest that pickup softball isn't allowed. I seem to remember somebody having a clause in their contract that they couldn't play basketball. Does anybody else remember this? was it aaron boone?
  7. Say Soriano, with no trade protection, gets claimed off waivers by some team. Can Soriano veto the claim, or is he stuck going to the other team?
  8. no one seems to be impressed with him anymore.
  9. i'm pretty sure most teams would have a mediocre record if you took away their 2 hottest stretches.
  10. Yeah, we need a fiery guy to replace that old softie Lou Piniella. SORIANO!!! PLAY BETTER OR I'LL ASK YOU TO GIVE UP 100M CAUSE I'M ANGRY Im saying Soriano would be begging to opt out. A lot of people dont quite know the extent of Bobby Vs reputation. no, he wouldn't.
  11. We're probably stuck with him. Pray that cheap, effective talent comes through in the minors so that we'll have money to spend on good players at other positions.
  12. at the very least maybe they can get us an extra series with a team like the padres so we have a weak schedule we can take advantage of.
  13. how many inside the park home runs have their been where it could have been an easy stand up inside the park home run?
  14. he pretty much said that in his hall of fame speech. [expletive] gag me
  15. They are averaging 4.48 runs a game. You'd rather get 3 runs a game than average 4.48 a game, just because it might be more consistent? I'm by no means a stat head whatsoever, but how skewed is that statistic. Just because you average 4.8 runs a game does not mean that you usually get 4.8 per game. We have had a few really big games this year that bump that up considerably. Obviously this doesn't happen often but that 17 run game a few days ago plus three one run games avgs near that figure. I could be wrong here, but it seems like we have had an unusual amount of games that we just can't score a run to save a life. Instead of adjusting to that a few innings in and try to scrape for some runs, Lou seems to just cross his finger for that one big inning and we end up losing by one run. What teams consistently manufacture 3 runs every game?
  16. rocket

    Golf

    tiger might blow a sunday lead finally. go yang go
  17. I usually go as Washington Foreskins. The best fantasy name I've ever seen was in baseball, Debbie Does Odalis
  18. i'm gonna be really pissed when we face him in the world series
  19. no one's interested in your facts, ccp. soriano sucks, and his home runs are never important.
  20. he's probably trying to talk his way out of cincinnati
  21. i don't know why i hate victorino so much, but i do.
  22. at least we know we have samardzija if we need to get ibanez out late in a playoff game
