    Nobody should ever watch Bull Durham

    Just because your addition makes 10 teams in the Sun Belt doesn't mean you can start calling it that.

    And those who've been in the hot box.

    Wasn't this guy also wrong a lot? (Along with everyone else who talked expansion)

    You'd think we'd have learned our lesson after underselling Travis Garcia.

    He's also 35 years old.

    Do you categorize every pitcher that's ever intentionally hit a batter a lunatic? Do you categorize a person who would intentionally throw a ball 90 mph at somebody's head a lunatic?

    It would be very interesting to see how sensitive those ratings are to OF assists. Some of the best OFs have very few assists, because guys rarely test them. Meanwhile a guy with a crud arm might get a bunch of assists every year since guys are running at will. It's not strictly assists they measure (the better ones at least.) It takes into account the total # of bases taken on an OF. It wont' matter if Juan Pierre has 10 assists, because he'll have 800 extra bases taken on him throughout the year. It's likely that Soriano's #s were inflated in '07 because word wasn't out on his arm quite yet. (i.e. in '08 that guy stays at 2nd vs getting gunned down at 3rd.)

    You stole our signs, so I'm going to risk your livelihood. Yeah that dumb old worthless bastard Goose Gossage would be proud.

    So we've been down 2 or more runs in the 9th 173 times in basically 2 1/2 seasons? Yikes. We've lost 159 games by 2 runs or more in that timeframe, so it makes sense. I'm impressed that the Cubs managed to score at all 14 times in those games. There are also extra inning losses mixed in there, so the numbers aren't exact.

    Those defensive #s manage to put him 9th overall in WAR for that season, and 6th on a per game basis. I believe he was a very good defensive LF before injuries took their toll, but he wasn't that good.

    And at -3 through 16: Adam Scott

    He was their AD at 28? Damn.

    Illinois is hiring Cincy's AD

    Well, that's a terribly written sentence.

    i'm not, just because he's the type of player who can succeed in the cubs' "hack at everything" system because he has such great contact skills. i'd be shocked if a guy with we developed a hitter like nick swisher or whoever... Or Brett Jackson? i'm not sure the cubs can claim a lot of credit for developing him since he's pretty much exactly the hitter that he was in college - except for maybe his power has come on more than people thought. soto is more a guy who developed in the cub system, since he was drafted out of high school and is a patient hitter. Well by that standard, they didn't develop Castro either. Jackson already has more PAs than Castro did in the minors.

    You don't hear a lot of Desmond Tutu references during sporting events.

    If he'd ever get himself walked to first, I could endorse him actually getting some PAs
