    The post was referring to his range, not his arm. As was mine.
  2. SouthSideRyan
    I've never heard Soriano referred to as worse than average, with the prevailing opinion being that he's above average.
  3. SouthSideRyan
    I'd rather have Kendall come up directly before Lee and Ramirez than before a pitcher and Soriano.
  4. SouthSideRyan
    This thread and Anthony Morelli being a horrible QB has convinced me to pick UM this week. I'm gonna be laughed out of my pool.
  5. SouthSideRyan
    Hooray for no Votto. Switch Theriot and Kendall plz.

    Albers as a starter: 5.61 ERA Albers at home: 3.48 ERA Gallardo as a starter: 4.11 ERA Gallardo on the road: 5.85 ERA

    Tremendous, but you forgot to call us kids this time.

    It's the same story as Marmol. Who's pitching those 7th and 8th innings if Capps isn't in the beginning of the year. Blowing a game in the 9th is the same as blowing a game in the 7th. If you want to blame Tracy for costing them games, blame him for running the utterly horrible Chris Duffy out there the entire first half of the year.

    There's no sense in keeping Blanco on the 60 day DL all year, it'll waste an offseason 40 man spot and potentially cost us somebody in the Rule 5 draft. If he's just going to be hidden on the 60 Day DL all season just cut him like we did to Rusch.

    Barry never should've invented steroids.

    Those of us who work for a living are glad for the night games :) Flatscreen in the office ftw.

    I don't think the money/oppurtunity is going to be there for Kendall in Chicago. I'm just spitballing, so I can't think of a likely destination, but I think Kendall's going to want to be somewhere where he'll start 130-140 games a year, and he'll be looking for 5M+ in return. I don't think the Cubs offer either of those things. I think some team will. Baltimore and Washington look like possibilities. Houston seems like a lock if Ausmus retires.
  14. SouthSideRyan
    With the remaining opponents all out of the playoff race, it's unlikely they'd mess with their 5 man rotations unless it was to get a couple starts for a prospect while shutting down someone with a history of injuries.
  15. SouthSideRyan
    I think Soto will get more than "a look" in ST. I think he's gonna go in as the starter. This past week or so has cemented that Kendall won't be brought back.
  16. SouthSideRyan
    You'd be dumb to trade Pie or Hill for a declining Tejada with a likely limited payroll. You're dumb.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    Minnesota?
  18. SouthSideRyan
    But if he's traded in the middle of his contract doesn't he have the right to declare for free agency? I'm pretty sure they took that out of the new CBA. Did they really? Well that would help things. IMO, the O's would want Hill, Pie and Marmol. I'm not sure I'd trade any of them straight up for Tejada.
  19. SouthSideRyan
    Theriot is good for what he is, but the original poster is right, he's way overrated by Cubs fans. He should be the 8 hitter.
  20. SouthSideRyan
    On ERA alone, he's had a good season for a 3rd starter, he's had an incredible season for a 5th starter, even looking at just peripherals. Oh, and Carlos Zambrano now has the worst ERA of our 5 starters. And Eyre's ERA+ is over 100!
  21. SouthSideRyan
    Mizzou barely beat a team that all of their fans around here thought they would kill, while said team's starting QB was injured. Is Illinois ranked with that win? I don't think so. Either Mizzou's worse than people think or U of I is better, but instead you still have snide comments about U of I being terrible, and Big XII North championships for Missouri.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    1 bad inning huh? You got rocked the entire game Mark, just like every start this season Tony Larussa on his team Isnt that precious lol When's Albert gonna tell us that Marquis wasn't any good today.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    3/21 was an overpay, just becasue I can't see him getting offers that were close to that this offseason. However, his results have definitely been worth more than 7M a season. And I think Larry deserves a ton of credit for this.
  24. SouthSideRyan
    I absolutely cannot understand somebody watching Murton play defense and watching Floyd play defense, and somehow coming away thinking Floyd is better out there.
  25. SouthSideRyan
    They've got as good a case as anybody. 2 power conference teams away from home and one of the best MAC programs is a decent non-con slate, especially when the biggest obstacle to scoring thus far has been changing play calling to try to kill clock because they're up by 25 points. Illinois was hardly away from home. It was like a bowl game, the crowd was split down the middle, and the location was pretty equidistant from the two schools. Definitely not the same as a home game, and they went on the road to an SEC school the next week. Make no mistake about it--Mizzou is a talented team with a scary offense. Coaching and what may be a suspect D will cost them a game or 2, but they're top 25, imo. And I hate them. But they should be 2-1.
