  1. Good job! I voted 25X each inning today while watching the game! :D Jeez, if he wins, Derrek owes you a portion of his All-Star bonus!
  2. I just voted for Digli and Aramis 50 times, my fingers are tired!
  3. I've been to 4 games in the past 1.5 seasons where the score was tied in the 9th, and each time I've hoped to see a walkoff win, and they lost everytime :(
  4. If the Reds traded Dunn to the division rival Cubs for 3 prospects pretty much, I think the team would fold due to lack of fan support by the end of the year. I will not believe that the Reds would consider trading Dunn to the Cubs until it actually happens.
  5. Would be cool if we could get him back for Aug 1, but I won't count on it. But imagine: Kotsay Nomar Lee Ramirez Burnitz Walker Barrett Patterson P
  6. What about Latin America? I think if you did North America vs. Asia it wouldn't work either. Too different being from the US and being from the DR. I love the concept of a baseball World Cup, let's hope it works out
  7. He's gotten 12 at bats in the last 9 games. Even a veteran would lose his stroke playing that infrequently. That is not a fair platoon. He's only had 128 AB's on the season and he really only got regular starts over a 3 week stretch, and now he's on the brink of being dumped from the team. If every rookie on every team was discarded this quickly MLB would be overrun with 50 year old players. Somewhere Rickey Henderson's ears perk up
  8. Shouldn't this be in rivals ;)
  9. ^^ I agree, but for some reason I tend to think of all the posters here as white males. I guess its my eurocentric upbringing combined with being in a mostly guy oriented subject matter. Obviously I don't look at anyone differently once I find out that they don't fit my admittadly narrow mold of person, but it does come as a "shocker", not because I think females don't know anything about sports, but because I already labeled a person as someone else in my mind. Hope I didnt run around in circles too much there.
  10. The Heckler recently had an article that Kerry won his 100th career simulated game. So congrats to him for that!
  11. Sooo tempted to pick up tickets for one of the night games. Even if it is finals week, I think I can find a way to slip out for a few hours
  12. He is on crack. I'm pretty sure Nomar isn't even running yet. I expect him back anywhere from August 1-15
  13. Don't you think by voting for Dubois you are being just like those dumb fans that vote for Nomar at SS or Pujols at 1B? I can kinda see voting for a scrub AL team since you are an NL fan and this game counts ;)
  14. You can blame UMFan83 for that. :( Obviously, I'm glad I forced that line drive to go off of Prior's elbow :)
  15. So Wednesday or Thursday
  16. I post there too. What's your handle over there? Mines the same (UMFan83). Some of the posters there are awesome. Tom Boerwinkle #1, shambulls, mizenkay, and spongyfunky come to mind. Oh and whats the poster that has a sexual attraction to the Bulls winning?
  17. Yeah he's just gotta hit the offspeed and breaking stuff. Once he figures that out, he should be a stud
  18. How dare you forget the his 4-pitch walk in his 5th AB!? At least he had one hard hit ball that could easily have gone for a single if it was hit a foot or two to the left or right. Still, he only saw 7 pitches in his first 4 ABs and he was retired on the first pitch in two of them. OK OK my bad. So his OBP is pretty low, yet he is still being as productive (2 RBIs each) in 20 PAs then Hairston has been in his 5 weeks as a starter. Of course thats not fair to Jerry, but lets bring TWalk up anyways
  19. Walker went 0-4 again with Iowa today.....now 0-19 in his rehab assignment
  20. The Miller Lite sign says "Go Chicago!" most likely to remain neutral. My friend took a picture for NSBB from Sheffield Ave., when he loads it onto his computer I'll post it
  21. He'll probably start AT THIS POINT but don't forget there is about 6-7 weeks until the All-star starters are announced. A lot of good or bad could happen between then Regardless, I'm taking a couple handfulls of ballots on Friday at Wrigley and checking off one Derrek Lee in each of them
  22. Still more RBIs then Jerry Hairston this year
  23. OK, about time to bring him up
  24. OOF! A couple of first pitch outs? Sounds like he's about ready to join the big league club
