    Yea I see one of our ex posters is right there leading the charge too. Surprise surprise I don't think Ender was ever banned or anything. He knew what he was talking about, just talked about it from a Brewers slant, and wasn't obnoxious. He was fine.

    I always thought of Dope having a good work ethic and Von Joshua is a very good hitting coach. IIRC, he had a hand or wrist injury and what he probably needed was to recover from that fully. Dope never made it to AAA to get to be around St. Von. He'd probably hit 350 under his teachings. I'd probably hit 250 with some coaching from Joshua.

    I dunno, I can see it. Pullen and Clemente are good guards. They're adding Wally Judge, a 5* power forward. Dominque Sutton has some game. They only lose Darren Kent from last year's team--not that big of a loss. And against all odds, Frank Martin hasn't looked totally overwhelmed every time he stepped on the court. They won 22 games last year. I think they're the second best team in the North and could contend for the 4th in the Big 12. Ranking them 17 is a bit high, but I wouldn't gripe with anyone putting them in the 20-25 range. They hire a new coach?

    Starbury, yeah.

    Phillips could get another job offer. Dave Littlefield could get promoted.

    From most all reports, Corey is a genuinely nice guy. But feel free to be bitter and trash him for a joke. I do not doubt that he is a nice guy, an so are the most MLB players. I am sure Bob Howery is a nice guy to and gave this team a better stretch of performance than Corey but some seem to like to abuse his name. My criticism is from the people that instantly lift a 17/18 year old kid up onto a pedestal and crown him the next Willie Mays before he even plays a game, many did that on our site as well as Cub's scouting system. He is one of my arguments that there should be a minimum and maximum wage for all drafted players Oh ya, wasn't a joke I was serious I am hoping that he did use his money wisely to get an education so we don't see him on ESPN E60 with a segment entitled "How the mighty have Fallen." I wish him the best in life Nobody did that, it's a stupid accusation. Member 2007, maybe need to float back to the post of 2003 When he was a near-all star level CF?

    This [expletive] drives me nuts.
  8. SouthSideRyan
    Yeah, but only if you really prodded them hard.
  9. SouthSideRyan
    Not really. http://www.hardballtimes.com/thtstats/main/index.php?view=fielding&linesToDisplay=50&orderBy=zone_rating&direction=DESC&qual_filter=1&season_filter[]=2008&league_filter[]=2&pos_filter[]=7&Submit=Submit Link doesn't work, but you could imagine what it would be like if it did. Adam Dunn is 3rd on that list.

    Ryan Braun is a goofy looking [expletive].
  11. SouthSideRyan
    He has the "most effective OF arm" because his arm is the most effective. This isn't sitting around counting OF assists, this is holding guys to one base, and gunning them down when they try for more. And his range isn't any worse than average. He's a very good defensive OF. He'd probably be average in CF.
  12. SouthSideRyan
    YES

    Ryan Braun has put up one season of MVP type offensive #s. During that season he was so awful at 3B that he wasn't even the best rookie in the league, let alone worthy of MVP discussion. Last year's 3rd place finish was criminal.
  14. SouthSideRyan
    Keeping in mind he's a horrendous defender in LF, I don't think it's far fetched to find 10 guys. He didn't crack my MVP ballot last year. He didn't make yours either.
  15. SouthSideRyan
    I was remarkably bad at that one.
  16. SouthSideRyan
    :pig: There is a nonzero chance that Albert Pujols dies. Along with the other 10 guys in the NL that are better than Braun.

    Sounds like double counting. I don't recall Soriano ever having "lazy baserunning" issues unless it was being slow out of the box thinking it's a HR. Those are two different things. Well who cares if he's posing on a HR unless it's because it makes him slow out of the box?

    20 most used passwords was hilarious.

    I spent most of my Friday at work doing these types of quizzes. I can't believe how poorly I'm doing at the world countries one. 83 out of 195, though I probably get about 90 if spelling didn't count. Africa and Oceania have a hell of a lot of countries.

    110. Bills, Jaguars, Titans, Nets, Spurs, Sabres, Blue Jackets, Oilers, Predators, Devils, Senators, Sharks

    The thing about Hendry is even if he ends up grossly over pying, he'll get his guy if needed Ankiel was actually DLd today, or maybe it was yesterday. ok 15 days is still a whole lot better than possibly 8 weeks Yeah, too bad Aramis is on the 8 week DL.

    Most teams only have 1 backup SS. The problem is we have none. Aaron Miles is not a major league SS.
