    Al Trautwig was so much cooler when he was on Classic Sports Network.

    Of course she has no history of finishing highly, she was 8 last olympics.

    maybe all the hairy, uni-browed girls on the soviet teams were Latvian try georgian. You think that's funny? People are dying.

    I honestly haven't noticed, but I'd imagine he finds it constricting for certain strokes.

    Should we even wait to bring this guy up for Sep callups? He's been crazy good all year. We shouldn't. I want Hoff playoff roster eligible. Doesn't matter. As long as somebody's on the DL at the end of the year Hoff can take "their spot"

    Yeah the blue eyeshadow is exceedingly creepy.

    That head woman ran over to tell em to get the good score out there before it becomes too obvious.

    Trevor Cahill pitching for the US vs. Cuba if anyone's interested. Catch it online. Even odds she doesn't beat the Chinese chick.

    Ohh man US/Cuba is on?? I was just gonna watch Taiwan/China so I could see somebody get murdered on the field.

    I'm sticking with the gymnastics cause Elfie Schlegel is about to call the competition rigged.

    Jocketty's not dumb enough to keep him around that long, but I'd love for Dusty's record to dip below .500 lifetime.(106 over at this moment)

    I wish I was the guy that got to massage Phelps's ass muscles.

    IIRC, Huff is a pretty brutal defender at 3B. He'd fit in well with Milwaukee.

    Steve Phillips said he claimed ~300 players his first year as GM. The risk you run is that you get cheap teams that are out of it just letting you have a few of those guys to save a half million or so. Then you wind up with 10 guys claimed you immediately DFA and you're paying out 15M for no reason.

    I freaking love the IM.

    Show me where it's a negative having that experience, that's what I'm looking for. I don't think it can be a negative. Experience is the best teacher, often. I would question whether Edmond's experience in the playoff would benefit anyone else though. Edmonds experience playing in SoCal may benefit the Cubs greatly if they face the LAofA in the WS. That could be very important. Really? The fact that Edmonds was awful in San Diego for a month would help Edmonds out? Or playing Anaheim 9 years ago would? I have no clue how either of those things would help him in playing 4 games in Anaheim. I admit I was reaching when I explained how it could be a negative with him giving advice from his perspective when the advice would be utterly useless to others. But I don't see how that's any more of a reach than thinking Edmonds can say here's what I do against him, you should do this too being a help.

    He's going to be the new Crash Davis. Speaking of.... How is Matt Craig doing? .974 OPS in 61 ABs. He's only starting about half the games recently. Poor Matt Craig. I'd personally keep Hoff in LF or RF, Pie in CF and let Kroeger and Dubois fight over the rest of the OF time. Hoff can still spell Craig at 1B, but I don't think he's going to improve much by playing 1B in AAA, let him focus on the OF defense so he doesn't embarrass himself up there later on.

    I just don't understand what Edmonds facing the Tigers in '06 has to do with anything. I don't understand why this is more important than Lee and Soriano's experience. I don't understand the belief that a 38 year old guy is going to be a positive influence on a bunch of guys aged 28-32. If you had a Marlins type team and you wanted somebody who wasn't an authority figure to be there to calm them down when they get overzealous, I can see the argument. I don't see where guiding veteran presence fits in when it's a team full of veterans.

    Re: Vitters That's a few times now that I've seen people mention defensive issues with him. I don't understand where this is coming from.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    I really love these things. Just re-watched that comeback video vs. the Rockies. Keep it up.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    Go Cardinals, there's ground to be gained out there.

    One player learning from another certainly isn't unheard of. However, I would imagine that happens moreso during the course of a long season rather than a short postseason series. It depends on the situation, maybe Edmonds is more familiar with the opposing pitcher than anyone else on the roster, maybe Edmonds spots that the pitcher is tipping his pitches. Having that experience is something that could become a benefit, there's nothing negative that would come from his experience. Sure there is. Edmonds could approach ABs differently than other players. He has a different skill set and if he's trying to give advice based on what applies to his skills compared to the guy he's talking to skills he could wind up screwing with the other guy's swing/approach for no reason. On the list of the reasons Jim Edmonds is good for the Cubs postseason hopes extra hitting coach for a team full of veterans doesn't even register.
