"Fortunately it was Barry Bonds running" Not something you'd expect to hear when he was a young'n -
2 for his last 18 ABs 18 ABs. Am I allowed to post statistics without being called out for sample size. I didn't make any argument with my post, just stated a statistic. I didn't make an argument either. I was just driving home the point before anybody reached a conclusion based on it.

Everyone say hi to Len. Hi LEN!!!

negative 3.

Arizona's offense is just very very bad. Wonder if I should cut bait on Upton and assume he's another product of AZ's minor league parks.

I'm doubting the fans voted Wes Parker. I don't doubt that they voted Jeter 2nd best SS. Flippin idiots.

Len just copied that from the game thread.

I don't know, but it's pissing me off. These guys should be buried by now, yet they're right in the race. Geez, how long did it take Zito to retire the side... 4 minutes? All we had to do was play .500 ball, stay 8 over, and this division would be ours right now. But no, couldn't make it easy. Had to start sucking again. When we were 8 over? After the first game of the Phillies series Huh. 2 and a Half Men is an abomination.

Rich Hill is sexy.

I think I've decided to be as obnoxiously hyperbolic about Floyd as the ginger haters are about Murton. PRODIGOUS POWER FROM CLIFF FLOYD!!

What an ignorant post. Murton has put up a .820 OPS the month of August, and you dont get that by just hitting 2 solo shots. Murton has actually been propped up bigtime with his 3 HR's in August 55 AB's, .273/.333/.473, 3 HR, 2 2B Now that's just fine-HR's are a great way to prop up numbers because there is less luck involved. Really though, with such a small sample of at-bats, 2-3 home runs can mean the difference between being good and being awful. For example, Murton without those 3 HR's: 52 AB's, .231/.298/.269 So yes, the only thing Murton has done this month is those 3 HR's, but HR's are such a big scoring play that those are enough to make him have a good month so far anyway. So taking out HRs makes a guy's numbers look bad??? Weird. I think it's his 3 outs that are dragging down his numbers. Let's magically transform his numbers to this instead. 288/351/500 Fun!! The way people talk about Cliff Floyd around here you'd think he was Jesus Christ. That was fun too!

I think it's all the Murton love that has lead me to hate the guy Selective memory. You want to remember the outs to prove the other side wrong.

Kurkijan sounded like Matthew Lesko.

The level of difficulty does though, and Cedeno isn't good enough to play at this level. How is it possible to be so great on one level and then be not even worthy of a roster spot on the next level. It makes no sense. There are plenty of example to prove it is possible. Are there plenty of examples of guys given up on at the age of 24? Cause if so then those teams were stupid too then.
-
Dusty knew a lot about his teams too. (Is invoking Dusty's name the equivalent of Godwinning a Cubs thread?) (No, didn't mean to compare to Dusty to Hitler.)

Murton doesn't play CF, so Jones has nothing to do with him. But yeah, Floyd.
-
I can't believe you really need an explanation, it's fairly simple. Matt Murton was productive last year, and Floyd was not. Given their ages, it could be expected to see improvement in Murton, and not Floyd. Seriously, you didn't need that explained. What I needed explained is why you think Murton's .782 OPS v. RHP "was productive" but Floyd's .765 OPS v. RHP "was not productive." Unless, in your view, the line at which a player becomes "productive" falls between a .765 and .782 OPS. What a stupid post. Goony, have you ever been in a good mood? Ever? When they serve chicken wings.

two words: Rafael Palmeiro That argument only works against non-cubs. Awfully sensitive lately. Not really, have just had more time to read/respond to certain things here which are wrong. Typical Cards fan response Sure. Well that was in jest. But was my sure? I hope not.

36 by us, though that was the 1800s.
-
Yeah, him, or any other pitcher on the 40 man roster instead.

FYI - Scott Spiezio on the RL for substance abuse
