    I haven't seen enough of Braun to judge whether his D is better than Ramirez's. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    3-0. 1st and 3rd, nobody out.

    A tie could still happen in the Big 10 now without a conference championship game. Wisconsin beats OSU, OSU beats Penn St., Penn St. beats Wisconsin. All have one loss, which one gets the BCS berth? Right nothing would have changed.

    Is that last number baserunning or fielding?

    Lou never pissed and moaned about Barrett's defense? "Get me some players who can catch the damn ball"? Immediately after Barrett made an error?

    Small programs might not even survive under your scenario. How is South Florida going to improve itself beating up on the worst of the worst every year and not getting a chance to play anyone else until the playoffs when they'd have to play the best team in the nation in the first round?

    Eh?

    Tried to make this my sig, too long, but yeah. Time for everyone to freak out on Murton for not knowing the ball would hit a pole. Dempster for not throwing 2 shutout innings Jones for hitting a ball hard but right at the CF. Time for everyone to absolve Cute adorable cuddly little Ryan Theriot. Sucky suck suckerton Jason Marquis. Don Piniella.

    Soap Drop it, Tree knew what he was talking about.

    Hawkins '04 = Dempster '07. IT'S GONNA HAPPEN. Maybe they'll run Dempster's lame carcass out of Chicago like they did that a-hole Hawkins. One can only hope. LaTroy Hawkins is one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet. And can we please run Dempster out of town, after all it will appease the (Lee Elia words) 15% that go out to the games. Then all those same damn morons can piss and moan every time Howry gives up a run. And then they can run him out of town and they can find a new scapegoat. Seriously though Dempster you suck cause you don't throw scoreless innings every time you pitch.

    Geo was known as a defensive catcher throughout the minors, so I'm guessing his game calling(whatever arbitrary definition you have for that) is just fine.
  12. SouthSideRyan
    Because it keeps Hendry around? This topic was already addressed in Derwood's thread a few days ago, so maybe we should move it here, but I don't understand why anyone thinks Hendry is fired if the Cubs miss the playoffs.
  13. SouthSideRyan
    I haven't even touched on the nonsense that is going to happen with the pitching staff over the next month. Seriously what the hell is he doing? Well we're going to pitch you on 5 days rest here so that you can play against a terrible team that is out of the race. And since we held you back for no apparent reason, we're gonna have to bring you back on 3 days rest so we can get you back on schedule!! Oh and Steve Trachsel! Definitely Steve Trachsel. Please more of him. Sean Marshall, you have the 2nd best ERA of the starters, you, you can go hang out with Ohman.

    The problem with this argument is that baseball is fun to watch. It's fun to root for your team. Why on earth you wouldn't want the chance to get to root for your team in playoff games is beyond me. Obviously it would suck if we made the playoffs and lost every game 14-0, but are you really that down on things that that's what you think would happen?

    .294/.355/.506 .246/.355/.323 These are Murton and Floyd's lines since Murton was recalled. All we ever hear about it is how Lou rides the hot hand, plays the guy that's earned it with his play, but it's all just BS so Lou can play his gritty guys and his veterans. Fontenot started pretty regularly a month after he was worth a damn. Ryan Theriot has been just terrible lately and Lou won't give him so much as a day off. I don't want to debate whether Cedeno is an ok option at SS, but it'd be hard for a replacement to not play as well as Theriot has been playing lately. Of course he's Lou's Neifi so he's not gonna sit for the next 3 years.

    Lou's slowly losing his mind on Comcast if anyone cares.
  17. SouthSideRyan
    Jason Kendall and Cliff Floyd each bring one main skill to this team, that is their ability to get on base. They are consistently put in the 5 spot(AND NOW 4th???) and the 8 spot where their OBPs are marginalized. The worst aspect of Alfonso Soriano's offensive games is his OBP. He is placed in the spot where it is most important. All Lou could do in the beginning of the season was piss and moan about how awful Michael Barret's defense was. He needed someone in there that could catch the damn ball. Jason Kendall can neither catch the damn ball, nor can he throw the damn ball.
  18. SouthSideRyan
    .224/.309/.261 This line is Worse than Neifi's career line? Worse than Royce Clayton's career line? Lou's #2 pinch hitter's line from July on. The answer is yes. Mike Fontenot blows.
  19. SouthSideRyan
    SAC BUNTS. I mentioned this in the game thread, but Lou is way too impulsive. How is it the best baseball decision to bunt with Pie to get Lee to 2nd one inning, and then 2 innings later it's suddenly the best baseball decision to pinch hit with Murton. I say pinch hit with Murton because unfortunately we had no lefties left on the bench. Never shoulda pinch ran Sam Fuld.
  20. SouthSideRyan
    If Soriano has a bad 2 week stretch in the leadoff spot he's just working out of a slump. If Soriano has a bad 2 day stretch in the 5 spot, he's not comfortable there and has to go back his comfort zone.
  21. SouthSideRyan
    Our best hitter has hit 5th the last 2 games, and I still don't know why.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    This is insane.
  23. SouthSideRyan
    viewtopic.php?p=1519730#1519730 I was afraid of that. I have work tomorrow!!
  24. SouthSideRyan
    Guess what thread was just bumped in Baseball Discussions??
  25. SouthSideRyan
    Except, y'know, that inning where got everyone out in 5 pitches. End result, he lost the game. 15 MEN ON BASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DEMPSTER!!!!! you honestly blame dempster for "losing the game" Raisin was certainly being sarcastic.
