  1. Kenny Rogers you say? http://dl.glitter-graphics.net/pub/6/6539mh29rvysi0.gif http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/4215/mlburogers4120vx.jpg
  2. That's because his last name is Burrows.
  3. Not necessarily, but those long fly balls in Daytona and West Tenn might be out of the park or off the wall in Des Moines.
  4. Italy will want to play hard because a tie could mean they get second place...and a date with Brazil in the second round.
  5. There's reason for concern with Veal, but the Cubs' MO is really apparent to me at this point regarding how they treat pitchers making their full season debut. Basically, they just try to get their pitchers through the majority of a full season at one level and then typically promote the guy in the last week or two if he does well enough. Remember, one of the biggest concerns with Veal in the draft was his ability to maintain his stuff over the course of a full season. Also, he has a decent road ahead of him as a pitcher with two pitcher's leagues in Daytona and West Tenn. I think he'll improve as time goes on.
  6. I think it'll come around. If his plate discipline really has improved this much, he will eventually start getting those XBHs we've come to know and love from him. :D I hope so. It is still very early in the season for him. He's coming back from a serious leg injury. What matters most while he makes his recovery is that he shows good command of the strike zone and puts the bat on the ball. Eventually his power will return.

  8. Now we do the happy dance. OY OY OY!
  9. On a side note, has anyone else been pleasantly surprised by his OBP this season?
  10. Unless we somehow manage to annihilate Ghana, that's pretty much the case.
  11. Exhausting game. I hope Italy goes down in flames.
  12. Ugh. Great opportunity, but that header was botched.
  13. I'm not the only one who thinks taking Dempsey out for DMB is a bad idea, am I?
  14. What, no card for the guy for pushing Dempsey?
  15. Just put a blue jersey on the ref and get it over with.
  16. Seriously, is there a sniper randomly taking out Italian players on the rooftops?
  17. Is this ref paid off, too?
  18. Maybe the US should start throwing themselves on the ground all over the field, clutching their knees and ankles.
  19. Oh please, he'll just roll off the stretcher and come back in within the next two minutes.
  20. He's getting sloppy when in the box. Convey and Dempsey are doing a reasonably good job down there so far.
  21. That was not frustration, that was just a flatout cheapshot. He should have come back out with the blood-stained jersey. That would have been awesome.
