    Rammy almost got him. Tough ball to field.
  2. Outshined_One
    Eh, the Cubs still have the lead. Hopefully Lilly settles down and Parra continues to struggle.

    Damn, damn, damn.

    AL pitcher who doesn't have much practice with bunts? He's had 6 months to practice it this year, though. Something tells me a guy with a grand total of 11 sacrifices in his major and minors...well, yeah.

    Soriano has awkward lower body movement on his swings. Hm. Don't know if that's the way he does t naturally or if the injury's really getting to him.

    Jacque against a lefty. Yay.

    Show of hands, how many people groaned at Len's sunglasses at night joke?

    Hart does not look comfortable out there.
  11. Outshined_One
    That was awesome.
  12. Outshined_One
    Navin would be the closer in that case. I'd naturally be the offense. :D

    Actually, "us guys" are composed of people that: 1) love to slam young players before they ever have a chance 2) love to slam young players who don't fit a certain profile 3) give too much credit to young players when projecting their minor league numbers to the bigs 4) lots of other varieties of "us" You forgot the all-important category #5, which includes people who are massively sarcastic. When it became clear Vitters wasn't going to sign until late in the proceedings, I knew there was going to be an extraordinarily limited period of time to judge Vitters. Unless he came to Mesa and proceeded to tear the cover off the ball to an extraordinary degree, he pretty much was going to be #3 on my personal list no matter what. Next season is going to be critical for evaluating him. If he keeps in good shape and works hard in the offseason, then comes into Spring Training looking smooth in the field and at the plate, then he should start off in Peoria. From there, we'll have a full season with plenty of guys on this board getting a first-hand look at him. After next season, we'll have a better idea of what he's capable of. He has the potential to deliver in a big way, happily.

    *Kicks down the door* I'M BACK! I finally have a regular internet connection down here. Starting tomorrow, I hereby reclaim my rightful place as minor league box score guy. :D

    I'll take the Miami Defense.

    You and like 30 million rednecks. Strangely, the rednecks at Wrigley Stadium that night were rather somber. Maybe because Derrek Lee helped rally the Cubs against Lidge. :D

    Booing Jeff Gordon was one of the most fulfilling moments of my life.

    I'm in as Ookie Was Framed.

    I love how Joba is compared to Vitters. As if Joba getting drafted a year earlier, playing in a winter league, being a college draftee and Vitters being young for a HS draftee don't matter. Weren't there worries in that draft that Chamberlain had a potentially career-threatening injury? I remember he had something wrong with his shoulder, which was why he plummeted as far as he did.
  20. Outshined_One
    He's a failure already!!!!!!!!!!!! /Getting that out of the way
  21. Outshined_One
    Fixed.

    The Matt Morris trade is one of the most inexplicable trades in recent history. If Littlefield doesn't get fired in the offseason for that trade alone, he might very well be GM for life out there.
  23. Outshined_One
    it worked for them last time With the Reds jumping back to 6 back, I'm sure the Astros would be happy to join the party.
  24. Outshined_One
    You clearly are not familiar with the Cubs' offense and its wonderful tendency to get shredded by a middling LHP. :D
  25. Outshined_One
    I'm inclined to agree with this. It seems like the hitters have more polish and production while the pitchers have higher ceilings but are more unpolished. I think there's plenty of hitters in the system with big ceilings that lack the polish, too, though. There are plenty of polished and productive pitchers in this system, too. :P
