Lee's gotten under two fat pitches today. Ragh.

Fool me once, shame on you...

I'm going through some sports columns today. Here's one from the Sports Guy's column over on ESPN: An actual e-mail from Vermont reader Devin Q. two weeks ago: "What about a reality-TV show titled 'I struck out Mark Bellhorn'? You gather random, unsuspecting people from the street to see if they can strike out Bellhorn from a major league mound. As a bonus, anyone who strikes him out gets $10,000 and can then attempt to better him in the field as well for added humiliation. The pilot episode would feature a 90-year-old grandmother with two artificial hips whiffing Bellhorn with 40 mph heaters, followed by Jerry Remy showing up Bellhorn in the field."

Okay, this ump is a little strike-happy.

I like both players. Last year, I made my obsessions about Wilkerson known. I'm obsessed with both. :D

Wait a sec, Wilkerson has more Ks than Dunn? All right, those of you who want Wilkerson but don't want Dunn, come on out and explain yourselves.

Ribbee, What kind of bear are you?

Well, he was going to go down sooner or later due to injury. The poor guy's been abused more than just about any pitcher in the past few years.

"Shoulder stiffness" will probably translate to "torn labrum" given his luck...

Dangit Kerry...

A few feet in front of the warning track.

I fully expect this thread to rival the chitchat thread. Which one? :?

Might as well see if Burnitz can hack it in CF, eh?

Um...okay... That's...one really weird lineup.

:shock:

Kearns would be a nice consolation prize if the Cubs don't get Dunn.

I'm not very comfortable with the idea of Dunn in RF. It seems like every time the Reds play the Cubs, Dunn makes a blockheaded move in the OF...and then blasts a 450 foot HR shortly thereafter. However, in LF, I'd be all for it.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah? Is Hairston at SS and Holla in CF or something?

Needs more Jim Ross, imo.

So basically, now we play the waiting game to see if this guy's right or not. ... *Twiddles thumbs* ... Ah screw the waiting game, who wants to play Hungry Hungry Hippos?

Just blame me for IMing you about it. All you guys IMing eachother and stuff.. I feel left out.. :( I actually IMed raisin to ask if I should get a ARam jersey or Lee jersey, then he had to say this. Actually, I think CT told me first. But whatever. If it makes you feel any better, I told both of them. But CPatt20 told me so I guess he is to blame. BOCF was the first to tell me. Slugger and Raisin also later informed me, but they were too late. :P

They are like Brett Farve when its below freezing! UNSTOPABLE. But we still suck. unfortunately, he's sucked in his last few cold weather starts...the regular season game VS Jacksonville came to mind (the one where Robert Ferguson got clotheslined) and of course the playoff loss to the Queens. :( anyway, im going to SIU for open house this weekend and it's probably going to be close to the 100's there too. doesn't bother me though, i love hot weather :D That loss to Atlanta in the snow and the playoffs was one of the happiest moments in recent memory for me. :D

Either this guy is good and is feeding stuff from our own board, OR he could be very right. Isn't this the same deal Vance spoke from his Astros source OML Toss in Troy Patton and you got that exact deal.

I was skeptical regarding Mulder's health. When you have a pitcher who has a hip injury that's nagging and never seems to go away along with him having second half fades recently...well, predicting a Cy Young is quite far-fetched. Hudson surprised me. Atlanta has done a tremendous job of handling pitchers in the past. This season has been realy odd for them considering how Kolb and Hudson have done. I was expecting him to be the best of these guys. Zito has impressed me. But Danny Haren...wow. Remember when the Cubs got like ten straight hits off of him? Did anyone see this coming?
