    I know this has been discussed a lot, but seriously this is horrible to bat Fukudome 5th. I would think this is the spot you LEAST want to put your best OBP guy. You don't want him having to worry about being agressive where he can drive home the 1-4 hitters. UGH I am revising my projected Fukudome OBP to .345. So Lou's great lineup has the worst hitter leading off, the worst possible #2 hitter hitting #2, and the best OBP guy hitting 5th.

    Well at least Lieber doesn't walk much? Why would he sign here to be the long reliever? I'm sure they are going to trade Marquis, and having him "win" a rotation spot will only help his trade value.

    My winning entry: R. Howard Holliday Pujols Hafner A. Ramirez A. Jones Zimmerman Utley Bay Hermida Glaus WC: Josh Hamilton

    A lot of people hate "Jump" but its become quite a tradition after all these years. I say stick with that.
  6. UMFan83
    That's stupid. What value does Lieber have out of the pen? At least Dempster has been in that role before with mild success.
  7. UMFan83
    Roberts, 2B Fukudome, RF Lee, 1B Ramirez, 3B Soriano, LF DeRosa, SS Soto, C Crisp, CF meh, I guess I could learn to eventually live with that.

    The Score is running with the Johnson/DaVannon interest. Not sure if they saw it here from Bruce or from other sources.

    and Kendall I see this posted time and again here, obviously based on the events of 2007. I'd be willing to wager, however, that his numbers will be nearer to .300 than .250. Kendall's not gonna be the Jonah that many Cubs fans think for the Brewers IMO... Who cares? He'll still have an OBP at best of .350 and a SLG of .330. And he'll probably throw out 15% of attempted base stealers as well.

    12 posts in the last 2 days. Impressive guys! Crap, I just bumped it.

    Some people have to work on Good Friday :evil:

    No one wants to go down 1-10 to Tucson two days in a row..

    I'd be in favor depending on the cost CL - Wood SU - Howry SU - Marmol MR - Marte MR - Eyre MR - Wuertz LR - Hart That is one nasty bullpen

    Cubs lost. Jon Lieber is on the bump tonight

    Tony Thomas, the Cubs 3rd rounder last year out of Florida State. He was called up from the minor league squad for the SS correct?
  16. UMFan83
    That's overreacting? Les Walrond, save 4-5 starts in 2006 is a career minor leaguer. I'll give you the former comment, barely. Overreactions are much much much worse in the regular season, as you know of course.
  17. UMFan83
    Who is overreacting?
  18. UMFan83
    I believe Marmol was the one that let 2 inherited runners score as well.
  19. UMFan83
    Must've been Hart. It was...an unfortunate turn of events.
  20. UMFan83
    I think both games are on MLB Gameday Audio. No TV. Game is going on right now... 0-0 in the 7th
  21. UMFan83
    I love how Redsox.com spun this:
  22. UMFan83
    But I'm pretty sure the networks might want a refund if the games aren't played. Networks? What could they be paying for games that will air at 3am? Red Sox fans alone will get them decent enough ratings. Then you add in the Bay Area and interested baseball fans across the country. That alone will get you better ratings than the average Friday evening NBA game. Then you include the Japanese market, especially excited for a Dice-K start in his homeland, and there is of course a lot of money on the line.
  23. UMFan83
    It might help the Rays quest to win the AL East if the Red Sox start 0-2
  24. UMFan83
    Yes we should. Probably not this year but eventually. I think they have high hopes for him. As for the Brewers, you're damn right we should be worried. I actually think they are the slight favorites if both teams stay the way they are.
  25. UMFan83
    That kinda sucks. Honestly, I kinda wanted him to make it.
