    You are crazy

    Maybe America's Team shouldn't have fans who support the team/ownership through the good and bad. America is about the bottom line and the bottom line is winning for the fans.

    it worked for them last time But I think that change was midseason
  4. Wilson A2000
    and he don't bunt, neither. He tries to hit sacs, but the darn balls keep on going over the walls. I hate it when that happens!
  5. Wilson A2000
    Well he was serious about it. I still like Terry though.
  6. Wilson A2000
    That guy looks like Javy Vazquez with no hair
  7. Wilson A2000
    He can't come back now; he just started running and hitting. Still, Terry Boers promised he wouldn't come back until mid-September. I hope he comes back by Labor Day just to prove Terry wrong. I like Terry, but his view of Soriano as just a notch above an average player, true as it may be, seems to have influenced him here.

    That Bonds pic is nice." The Road to History" with Bonds in the background. Theriot needs to break a MLB record and it will be much cooler.

    How can a man throw so hard and make the ball sink so much in such a short period of time? Off topic, but it seems that Z's sinker is not sinking like it did in years past. It looks more like a 4-seamer.

    Look at the Cubs' ERA when Hill catches compared to when Kendall catches. It's like 3.00 to 5.00. Hill can throw out runners too. He's a decent backup. What is weird is that he said he was always known as a good hitter and an average defensive catcher and game caller.

    Word. He talked to talk, but he certainly did not walk the walk when it came to the steroid hearings in Washington. I lost a ton of respect for him that day.
  12. Wilson A2000
    Man Barry does think he is innocent. He has fooled himself. But we must remember that Bonds did sue the authors of "Game of Shadows" only to revoke it once the government began their case. One the one hand it looks like Bonds is trying to cover his butt, but on the other hand it gives him a touch of credibility. Wait, did I just say that. This is really what Barry does not want. The only thing that could make him look worse is if this somehow went to trial and we come to know in a court of law that Barry did knowingly take steroids.

    Carl Everett, Offerman's teamate, was the one who took the bat out of his hands
  14. Wilson A2000
    Soriano's hottest month was when the Cubs were cold. His worse months was when the Cubs were hot actually.
  15. Wilson A2000
    So most teams have worse starting pitching because a total 3.89 ERA is good for second or third in the NL
  16. Wilson A2000
    What is the ERA of the pen for the season? How does it compare to other NL teams?
  17. Wilson A2000
    He has 5 career putouts in 256 games. The point is that Soriano has a better, more accurate arm.
  18. Wilson A2000
    Actually there is. It's the player who bats first and leads off the game. Is he ideal? No. But he can't hit down in the order because he can't hit curveballs. This is proven. Accept it. Check your stats. He has 18 SB and has been only caught 5 times. That's 78%. Not many teams sign guys to big contracts who hit dingers in BP. Murton is a strong guy, but he has not shown that he can hit homeruns consistently in the big leagues. Go ahead, add some loft and see how many times you pop put. DLee said he thought of adding loft, but he knew better. I never said anything about range. Both guys have had trouble catching the ball once they get there. Soriano has a much better arm. I think Soriano has better range because he is faster. But even if I leave that out, Soriano is a better OF because he can throw people out. I think Murton has one career putout when he doubled that guy off of first early last year. I am not bashing Murton. He is a decent bench player and utility OF. But that is all he will ever be.
  19. Wilson A2000
    There is no way Murton hits 30 homers a year except in AAA. Both are bad fielders, but Soriano has one of the best arms (when you look at power and accuracy) in the league. I think Soriano is more than a 30 homer guy too. Plus, Soriano can steal bases. The Cubs needed a leadoff man and they got one. Yes they terribly overpaid, but if the Cubs win the WS with Soriano's help no one will care.
  20. Wilson A2000
    Man that bad baserunning play might have worked out well. The DP was averted and the Cubs ended up scoring 3.
  21. Wilson A2000
    Well that would be because as soon as the MLB began testing players for steroids, Bonds was using the clear, which makes what Bonds was taking undetectable. The MLB does not and has never tested for human growth hormone.
  22. Wilson A2000
    what? +1. Eh? Case in point, it takes more than muscles to hit Homeruns. how long was Barry allegedly on the drug? We don't know Did Barry use anything other than "the Clear" or "the Cream" for any legitamite period of time? We don't know. So just stop accusing Bonds of everything that you can't prove damnit. Yes Bonds was on insulin, EPO, and horse/cow steroids in addition to the cream and clear from at least 2001-2003, the biggest years of his career. You don't think we know? The evidence is far beyond a reasonable doubt. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/magazine/03/06/growth0313/index.html Yes it takes more than muscles to hit homeruns. But when you add steroids to his already hall of fame ability, you get monster numbers. These numbers skyrocketed after hsi career was winding down. Why did he take them? He was jealous of Sammy and McGwire.
  23. Wilson A2000
    That article really makes Bonds look bad. One the one hand Bonds says that the flaxseed oil and arthritis medication didn't work at all. Then why did Giambi and Sheffield start taking the same stuff that Barry took, the stuff that didn't work when they themselves said that they wanted to take it only after seeing what it did to Barry?
  24. Wilson A2000
    How is that breaking the law if someone gives you something illegal that you didn't know you were taking (in my opinion Bonds knew he was taking them or else he would have sued Greg Anderson because his life expectancy is going to go downhill)?
  25. Wilson A2000
    I think that only Colorado is using one
