    Huge slam on Roast out of nowhere.

    Or Tom Ricketts
  3. SouthSideRyan
    Honestly, how dumb do you think the Ricketts family is? I've seen so many people spout this oh, they think the park will sell out on its own and they're not going to bother trying to put a good team out there. The park isn't selling out on their own. The team is bad, so you think their solution is going to be to actively make the team worse? These aren't backwoods hicks who won powerball to amass their fortune, these are highly intelligent businessmen .

    Wonder how long that poll stays up.

    They could just outlaw the SEC.

    Actually read the article now, I misunderstood, thought you were talking about them keeping it in Indy, didn't even know the alternating was on the table. I'll take it.

    Soldier Field is a piece of [expletive], Lambeau's in the middle of nowhere, Ford is in Detroit, and Minneapolis, Ohio, and Pennsylvania don't seem central enough to me.

    I'm pretty sure Paul Sullivan would be standing up and applauding if Ryan Dempster said this instead of Z. WHAT'S DIFFERENT BETWEEN THOSE 2???????????

    I've had this argument too many times on here and elsewhere. Football yes, basketball no.

    Pujols has outperformed those #s every year since 2002.

    Thanks for the free out Tony. A hit and run with the slowest guy in the majors and the best strikeout pitcher on the mound.
  12. SouthSideRyan
    Oh come on wtf was that?
  13. SouthSideRyan
    I say it's some broken-bat flare to CF

    Oh good, James Russell.
  15. SouthSideRyan
    I guess they shouldn't go to the Cardinals then.

    "He was never thrown out on the bases, and if he was, it was because it was a calculated risk" THANKS TIM!!

    It feels like a St. Louis broadcast

    When they're ready to decrease his value to the team. He is a career .885 OPS hitter. He would have great value wherever he went. And this year he would actually have a higher value has a 3rd baseman. Just because he'd be valuable anywhere doesn't mean it's ok to devalue him.

    Whoa ho ho who said anything about Meph.

    cant afford rehab assignments when you're fighting for a playoff spot to keep your job You have to wonder if it's at least partially a matter of thinking the guy will never hack it as a starter but not wanting to come out and say that. Because the notion that an injured starter can't return to the rotation after a couple month's absense is pretty crazy. And fighting for his job would probably entail rushing him back more than keeping the rotation hole as is. Thinking he can't hack it as a starter at this point is even crazier.

    Show me a list of the top, oh, 10 or 20 highest post counts on NSBB, and then try finding names on that list that ARE NOT persistently aggressive with their opinions. Throw out the persistently aggressive crowd and then there'd REALLY be nobody left. Here you go dave. memberlist.php?mode=&sk=d&sd=d Name names. LOL, on that list it'd be harder to find aggressive types in the top 10. Although I am sick and tired of Fred pushing his [expletive] dogma on me. Always pushing his GO CUBS! [expletive] in the game threads

    Can somebody explain why LSUFreek hasn't chimed in yet?

    Theriot was a .271/.355/.337 minor league hitter and a .285/.348/.355 major league hitter. His best season in the minors was .304/.365/.391 and his best season in the majors was .307/.387/.359. So almost exactly the same hitter. I really don't think it's that unusual for a low strikeout, low power player to have their minor league numbers translate pretty well to the majors. They aren't dependent on pitcher mistakes to generate power and they tend to hit line drives that will fall in on any level. Guys like Theriot and Barney are perfectly acceptable for a good team to have at the 7-8 spot in the lineup, maybe even 6. When the manager decides that they're more than that is when the wiser fans begin to turn on them. To build on this, a team can win with them in the 7-8 spots, but they shouldn't actively use this as a reason to acquire/keep status quo with players like this.

    I like the fake death idea. Any volunteers?
