  1. He had 15 outing where he put them in a position to win, 3 he kept them in the game, and 13 in a position to lose.
  2. :D :D :D :D :D :D Florida losing made me happy. That's all I have to say. I was glad to see it as well. I think UK can match up pretty well against UF. If you gave straight up odds, I'd take the Gators, hopefully Lexington and a beatable pass defense can give UK some chance of knocking them off.
  3. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! Roast is the one kicking and Ct is the skinny one.
  4. http://www.celebopedia.com/tampa-bay-devil-rays/images/tampa-bay-devil-rays.jpg
  5. UK smacks FAU 45-17, Woodson did throw his 1st INT in 325 attempts, but threw for 300 yds. and 5 TDs. It gets tougher now... South Carolina LSU Florida
  6. Do you just see Fontenot and the rest of the rooks?
  7. This is why the Cubs won yesterday.
  8. You know it's Saturday tomorrow right? Yep, and I have to be in the S. burbs at 8:30 and I live on the IL/WI border.
  9. What the hell, I have to get up at 6:00, but I'll have a couple of Coronas.
  10. heh a drunk Tim, now this is someone I want to see post drunk.
  11. Soto. How could anyone mistake that catcher's physique? :D That's his chest protector underneath, he's ready to take over for Kendall at every moment.
  12. Pie and Marmol shaving creamed Len.
  13. :lol: They're not the only fanbase saying that, which makes it better.
  14. I'm holding out for the NLCS, I'll probably be down there spending the night, but that depends if I got games on Sat/Sun.
  15. Hopefully in Siberia He was there as well. drinking champagne.
  16. Gotta love the "Today was a good day" in the background.
  17. There isn't a group of fans that deserve it more.
  18. What about Kendall's numbers do you like, especially batting 2nd? Soto should be starting. Well, it could be that Kendall's career Ave/OBP/OPS against the Reds is .318/.408/.873. Or he is .324/.398/.834 @ the GABP. Or .310/.393/.791 career hitter in September. I'll give Lou the benefit of the doubt on this one. At this point of the year, it's more about the hot hand over career numbers. I'd go with Soto right now as well. Luckily Z has the quickest delivery to home, if they start Kendall with Lilly and Hill, the running game becomes that much more of an issue. Also, this park is made for HR hitters.
  19. Kiss of Death. If they're intagible how does this guy know he has them? Work ethic is considered an intangible quality, it's very easy to see. So is the ability to stay mentally tough as a hitter, which is simply how you respond to when pitchers start attacking your weakness and how you're able to adjust. Would you rather not see him have those intangibles?
  20. Was he provoked in any way to lash out or was he just irritated the media were there and felt like being a jerk? It doesn't seem out of character for him to act like a pompous ass.
  21. Good to see Mark ask a question, hope everything is well with him. Q: Mark L. Peel from Arlington Heights, IL asks: Jim, did MWL managers have anything to say about Peoria starter Robert Hernandez? On the face of things, he competed pretty well despite being very young for the league (18); but he looked a bit underwhelming in person. A: Jim Callis: That's an accurate assessment. He didn't light anyone up, but his age makes him a guy to keep an eye on for the future. Q: John from Wheaton, IL asks: How does Jose Ceda project, and when can he help the Cubs in a bullpen role? You have to like his line as a reliever this past season. A: Jim Callis: He's a possible closer. He has two power pitches in his fastball and his slider, but he has to really improve his changeup, mechanics and command to make it as a starter. He's still somewhat raw, so I wouldn't count on seeing him in Chicago before mid-2009. Q: Erik from Wisconsin asks: Based on what the Twins have said, it sounds as if they are very high on Wilson Ramos. He isn't a big guy, but did hit for some solid power this year in the MWL. Is he adequate both offensively and defensively to be considered a legit prospect within the Twins system? Or did Drew Butera take that spot over when he was acquired? :) A: Jim Callis: They are high on Ramos, and he's another guy who just missed the list. Most scouts liked him more than Parmelee or Benson, and he was easily the best all-around catcher in the league. Hank Conger was a better hitter and Wellington Castillo (Peoria) might have been a better defender, but neither had Ramos' all-around game.
  22. Peoria didn't have a real toolsy team and players that did well for Peoria were likely uninspiring to scouts.
