    Funny we have all these outfielders, and not one is more then average at their position

    Sweet, is the credential in your name or NSBB's? If the latter, I can think of good ways to make money for the site! Either way, phenominal job. I am so proud of the work you and everyone else here as done to make NSBB just ridiculous. I'm not even sure SoSH has such affiliations with the Red Sox or their farm teams. Just wow!

    Wohoo, an obscure reference that I picked up on! Unless it wasnt, and it was just a coincidental choice of words. Gah, its too early to think this much. Don't worry, it was

    It's kinda sad when I see a pitcher with a 9+ ERA and get scared. I don't know what it is or if the Cubs falter by expecting too much, but they seem to lose control when a struggling pitcher is facing them. I predict a close game 5-3 Cubs

    Bah, hmm...ill fix it tomorrow

    I think the Blue Jays turned a respectable uniform into an offshoot of the Devil Rays. Terrible terrible change. Also the Padres road unis are umm interesting too.

    The thing about Dunn that I like is his ability to get on base. Yes, the power is certainly nice, but the fact that he can get on base at a very high rate and consistantly, gives the Cubs something to stabalize the offense when the offense runs dry like it usually does. How many times do we go through our offensive cold streaks and we just wish someone can get on base to start something? Dunns presence can do that. Not to mention the protection he can give Lee/Aramis. Imagine Aramis' numbers with someone with a .900 OPS hitting behind him :drool:

    Maybe they're like the Cubs. They haven't seen the pitcher's junk before, so they don't know what to do with it. The Cubs were like that with Davies and Colon. I dunno, they hit the G-Unit quite well

    Daily Corey update: 2-5 HR, 2B, 2 RBI, K Not bad....I'm guessing his stats aren't the most important thing here as these games are more likely being treated like Spring Training games where Corey is more focused on changing things and getting into a stride with his swing.

    Yet Dusty dispatched Cox & his Braves in the playoffs rather handily... How do you figure? Both times they faced each other in the playoffs, Bakers squad won in the deciding game. So what are you arguing for? Isn't that what I just said? You said they dispatched the Braves "rather handily" but winning 2 series that could go either way doesnt seem handily. Point taken though.

    OHHH NOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Len Kasper just used in infamous "tip your cap" expression in reference to Zach Duke Has he been studying tapes of Chip?? :(

    Thanks for the insight Joe Morgan. No, His keys would look something more like this: 1. Play Good defense. When you play defense, you win ballgames. Just look at the Reds back when I played. 2. Score runs, You have to score runs. Remember the reds??? We scored alot. 3. You have to have a good Pitc....DID YOU KNOW I PLAYED FOR THE REDS OMG WE WERE SO GREAT HAHA!!!!!! WOW! 4. Having Barry Bonds will help at all these. Barry Bonds has won several gold gloves. Barry Bonds can score alot of runs, and Barry Bonds can make your pitcher better. One time I asked Barry if I could lick his butt. Joe Buck inturrupts: Albert Pujols may be even better then Barry Bonds. Look at his flawless defense which backs up his Ruthian bat. The NL starter Carlos Lee could never hold a jock strap to Pujols, not even for one year. GO CARDS!

    No but I did hear he almost never signed autographs as a Cub, so its kinda weird.
  16. UMFan83
    Sorry I couldn't donate any money, its a little tight right now, but congrats on the honor and cheers to the continued success of NSBB!
  17. UMFan83
    Nooo, not until I have the chance to get out to Peoria and see him!

    This is more of a trivia question here: In what instances can a scorer award a win or a save to someone who does not qualify under conventional rules and can anyone show an example of this occuring (especially a win, saves are done a few times a season)
  19. UMFan83
    I'll probably buy a couple copies and ship them to Dusty and Jim Hendry
  20. UMFan83
    So wait do we still suck...or are we good now??
  21. UMFan83
    Unless Bad Z shows up
  22. UMFan83
    I know its just one loss, but their play gave me no reason to believe that they are anything more then a .500 team overall
  23. UMFan83
    First pitch is ALWAYS the best one guys. Oh well, at least they didn't hit into a DP
  24. UMFan83
    Don't you love it?
  25. UMFan83
    Hmm your right. Other then Sept 24 vs. Houston (which I guess was done so it could be easily converted to a Fox game if need be). Strange I never noticed that.
