    Welp, looks like I won't be going to Cleveland this coming weekend to visit my friends. I'm not going to be in the mood to visit a bunch of catatonically depressed people.

    Suicide squeeze plz.
  3. Outshined_One
    Good call, my bad on that one.

    Third base coach threw up the stop sign. You sure? I saw his arm windmilling when the ball was called fair.
  5. Outshined_One
    He was waving Lofton in from the moment that ball was called fair. Lofton never picked him up.

    Now THAT'S how you scew up an inning!

    He didn't pick up his third base coach. Whoops.

    The highlighted portion is probably the best thing I heard from this interview. I really believe there are some terrific players waiting to be discovered in Europe and the parts of Asia which haven't been scouted very heavily. Granted, baseball is not as big there as other sports, but if you can find quality players for cheaper than the going rate for comparable talent from places like the Dominican Republic and Korea, that's a good thing. We'll see if anything comes from it, but I think it's a great thing for this organization to be doing.

    I'd love to have him, but Boston's smart enough to know that the issues Manny brings to the table pale in comparison to some of the other problems their team is having. They're not going to sell him for 80 cents on the dollar. Considering that factor, I'd rather the Cubs not make that trade.

    During his time in the minors, Jackson was a highly-touted prospect. Most people thought that he and Carlos Quentin would end up becoming two of the brightest young stars in baseball. Both of them put up some impressive numbers down in the minor leagues. Murton, on the other hand, didn't receive much recognition until the season after he was traded to the Cubs. Even then, he didn't receive nearly as much hype or recognition as Jackson. I think these perceptions, in part, stem from that.

    So, I guess Kenny Williams backed off his proclamation that he'll never deal with another Boras client after he used the White Sox to land A-Rod his contract with the Rangers? Seriously, I just don't see it happening.

    I wish I knew how to quit this thread.

    Julio Zuleta says no.

    Do you trust Hendry to know what a solid bat is? On the one hand, you have guys acquired via trade such as Lee, Lofton, Ramirez, Nomar (remember, it was a good deal at the time), and Barrett. On the other hand, you have such luminaries as Pierre, Lawton, Hairston, and Bowen. Tough call.

    OHIO!!!!!! SUCKS!

    I hear it's for Tim's secret side project, a Cubs fan dating site.

    Injuries. He hasn't been the same since he got hit in the face on a throw from his catcher back in college.

    David Eckstein looks like he's 12, so that automatically disqualifies this. CS works better, imo. The higher, the better.
  21. Outshined_One
    Number of times batting leadoff or #2 has to be in there. You want your gritty guys to always hit in one of the top two spots in the order.
  22. Outshined_One
    Even the Houston Astros? Awesome. :lol:
  23. Outshined_One
    I'm surprised no one has made any IRS jokes yet.
  24. Outshined_One
    Someone inform Chippy that Taveras is Juan Pierre Redux. Seriously, did anyone see that throw home from shallow OF?
  25. Outshined_One
    Funny how Livan Hernandez "breaks the rule to all hell," yet has seen a dramatic decrease in his stuff's effectiveness since Dusty decided to ride him into the ground.
