    Ahhhhhhhhh...memories of Phil Garner.

    Get tossed Dusty!!!!

    Brian Anderson threw a wild one at Mabry.
  4. Outshined_One
    That was a really cheap move by both guys.

    Anyone else think the Cubs will end up trading Rich Hill in a "quarter for two dimes" trade when all is said and done? They've been doing a really good job of it during Jim Hendry's tenure. Juan Cruz, Todd Wellemeyer, Jon Leicester, Jermaine Van Buren, John Koronka...

    I love how announcers keep giving this team backhanded compliments instead of outright ripping them.
  7. Outshined_One
    I'd like it if some one would just hold this team's head below the water so we won't have to prolong the inevitable.

    Apparently he was having really bad allergy problems to start the season, especially with his eyes. Hopefully he can get himself readjusted down in AA. He'd make a nice right handed power option off the bench some day.

    The Cubs cut Valdes loose.

    Anyone want to guess how many combined starts the White Sox' opening day rotation made during the regular season? 152 Go back and re-read that again. The other 10 starts were done by Brandon McCarthy. Because they had a talented and healthy rotation, they steamrolled the competition. They also had a good bullpen (Hermansen and Jenks). Their pitchers managed to stay healthy and productive over the course of the season. Their offense, on the other hand, was mediocre. Their OBP over the course of the season was .322, good for 24th in MLB (in front of the Astros, oddly enough). Their SLG was .425 (11th in MLB). Their OPS was .747 (16th overall). They scored 741 runs (13th) and hit 200 HRs (5th). Why bring this up? In 2004, their stats: OPS was .790 (7th), OBP was .333 (15th), SLG .457 (5th), 865 runs (3rd), and 242 HRs (1st). That team didn't even make the postseason. Just goes to show you the value of good pitching. While the Sox weren't a joke of an offense last season, they managed to downgrade...and still managed to win the World Series in convincing fashion.

    Punch and Judy

    Kruk is under the impression that Cano will win a batting title some day. Why, I have no idea.
  14. Outshined_One
    :-s I Call, and raise you a WTH? He plays for the reds now, dude. Check transactions Roast.
  15. Outshined_One
    AAA to the majors. It's not like the best players in the majors can jump up another level, ya know? Mitch Atkins through 4 gave up no runs, 1 one hit, 1 walk, and struck out seven, for those of you who are wondering about him.
  16. Outshined_One
    Anyone want to impersonate a six year old with poor penmanship for the purposes of writing a letter begging Cuban to buy the Cubs? It might not work, but hey, sappiness is always worth a shot.
  17. Outshined_One
    I actually kinda like the Tigers.
  18. Outshined_One
    Since Navin's fallen off the face of the planet, the listed starters: Iowa: Jerome Williams West Tenn: Chris Shaver Daytona: Justin Berg Peoria: Mitch Atkins
  19. Outshined_One
    That's happened a lot lately Todd. They all look like buzz saws against us. Gotta tip your cap, dude.
  20. Outshined_One
    ...do we really want yet another 2B on this team?
  21. Outshined_One
    While it's a nice idea, the game could be so bad by that point that no one would really take notice of a large group of fans leaving the stadium.
  22. Outshined_One
    They're going to need some more balls. Nice compact swing, and from the left side. He looked a little off ballance on a few of those though, probably because of the camera. He's big for a SS. He projects as a 3B/OF, from all accounts. Thanks for the vid IMB, he has quite a good swing. I'm curious as to how he looks in the field, though.
  23. Outshined_One
    Contraction plz.
  24. Outshined_One
    It takes a special kind of talent to only have 4 90+ win seasons in the past 50 years.
  25. Outshined_One
    I'd pay good money to see Ozzie Guillen put Baker in a headlock and pound on him, Nolan Ryan-style. Maybe then some sense would be knocked into Dusty.
