    Holy Crap. Tigers are only 5.5 out I believe chasing 2 teams that everyone thought they were better than.

    People said the same thing about Matt Murton. Murton got traded because the Cubs also offered Gallagher in the deal. The point is he had value to the A's. It's not like Hendry said, ok I'll do the trade, but only on the condition that you take Murton off my hands.

    He wasn't referring to PEDs, more about the (truthfully kind of annoying) talk of Cardinals pixie dust making guys better than they should be. HAHA Juan Gonzalez? That was the only reason they picked him up that one spring training. They needed some extra stuff for all the ST invites.

    How many different times have the Cubs been 20 games over .500 this season? They've never been able to get to 21 over. I believe we're 0-5 when going for 21 games over.

    38-37 in their last 75(doesn't even sound arbitrary this time!!) and facing a brutal schedule the rest of the way(as brutal as an NL schedule can be.) Cardinals are toast. But by all means, I'll be cheering my ass for them the rest of the way. They're the 6th or 7th best team in the NL, and I'd love to get to face them in the playoffs rather than one of the better teams.

    Jason Bay's a pretty good defensive OF. He'd certainly be fine in RF, and could probably take CF in an emergency.
  10. SouthSideRyan
    That's not even an improvement on what we have right now.
  11. SouthSideRyan
    Would it make that big of a difference for them? Swisher's numbers aren't really all that outstanding this year either. They wouldn't be replacing Konerko with Swisher (hes already in the lineup on a daily basis), they'd be replacing Konerko with a Wise/Anderson platoon. How sweet it would be to end that Godawful "PAULY" chant. Almost as sweet as DeWayne Wise getting 2/3 of the starts in a major league game.

    Trade Cedeno and Eyre... and pick up Everett. Everett's injuries have limited his defense. Adam Everett without the defense is worthless.
  13. SouthSideRyan
    They're just covering for the fact that he needs his head amuptated.
  14. SouthSideRyan
    Did he say hit all pitches the other way or did he say to take the outside pitches the other way? I really doubt he told them not to drive the ball. Why? It's what Harris is doing in Washington? Some guys think the only way to hit is exactly the way they did. When you're a crappy hitter like Lenny Harris or Mickey Hatcher you survived by dumping the ball to opposite field. Just because they're big leauge instructors doesn't mean they can't be morons.
  15. SouthSideRyan
    To hear Angels fans gripe, Mickey Hatcher sounds like Lenny Harris as a hitting coach, obsessed with getting guys to take pitches the other way, rather than to drive the ball. Change may do Kotchman well.

    Sports talk radio everywhere is full of idiots. It's not just Milwaukee. And I wouldn't worry about the Cardinals B&G. I'd put money that 3 out of 4 of the Mets, Phillies, Cubs, and Brewers are making the playoffs.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    In all likelihood they sorted it out long ago and just don't care to share every detail of their decisions with the likes of you & me. They sorted it out and their plan was to continue carrying Eyre all year while not pitching him?
  18. SouthSideRyan
    Dude, those guys work for the Cubs. Sheehan doesn't. Z is not a 18 year old pitcher, he's a horse. Don't worry, Lou will take him out but this pitch count crap is getting ridiculous. It's not like he has thrown 160 pitches. Who cares about 160 pitches, this pitch count crap is absurd.
  19. SouthSideRyan
    Ben Sheets gave away the game by giving up hits and walks.
  20. SouthSideRyan
    Scott Eyre hasn't pitched in like a month.
  21. SouthSideRyan
    DUDE It's a blister. I got one one time tapping a keg. 3 days later I rocked the beer pong tournament.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    There's a shortage of quality shortstops across the league, it's a position most teams where many teams would like to upgrade. There will be high demand for Cedeno in the offseason, as he may be amongst the best availble SSs this winter. Like him or not (personally, I don't know how anyone could perceive his value to be near that of a water cooler), he's a pretty good trading chip right now. I wasted some of everybody's time having this argument in the game thread. Cedeno's about as good as you can expect from a backup SS. Guys better than Cedeno aren't backup SS.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    Where were all the blister experts when Josh Beckett couldn't get rid of them? Seems like teams wasted a lot of time letting their pitchers sit on the DL when all they needed was to invest 10 bucks to get rid of them.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    Really, you wouldn't be surprised if they rubbed his finger against a rough surface or burnt it so that they could create the grand illusion that Kerry Wood is in fact still alive?
  25. SouthSideRyan
    Yeah who could forget Corey Patterson's legendary feuds with umps, teammates, and broadcasters.
