    from every account i've read, brooks robinson is the best defensive 3B of all time. santo was very good but not great. still, it's pointless in arguing between the two of them because they both clearly belong in the hall of fame. i never said that santo was as good, just in the ballpark. and ronnie's offensive superiority exceeds robinson's defensive superiority. robinson played on winning teams and had longevity on his side, but santo was just a much better hitter and usually that's what gets people into the hall. Unless you click your heels to rub it in the face of the NY press corps. Then you get blackballed.

    Does anyone have any info on what Lee might be working on to improve his hitting situation? Because it's been months now, and it sure looks like he's doing nothing about the fact that he's a ground ball machine. But again, I don't know if anything is being done to help him. If this keeps up we've got to move him out of the 3 spot, correct?

    Lee is the greatest hitter in baseball........at hitting ground balls to shortstop.
  4. Soul
    Well he got his men, but it wasn't easy. I'll take it.

    Z is struggling terribly today so far. Is the gun slow today too, or is Z's fastball off kilter a little bit?

    Calling Mr. Zambrano. You are late for your start. Some other guy has been filling in for you. Please report to the mound as soon as possible.
  7. Soul
    Yep, now let's start with a clean slate and have the real Zambrano make an appearance.

    I've heard it won't be for awhile. Whether that's true or just a rumor is another story I guess. DirecTV has done a good job, but they've dropped the ball on WGN HD.

    I'd like to see some numbers on how we've done against pitchers with below 100 ERA+ vs. the rest of the league. I wouldn't be suprised to find we're doing significantly worse, and significantly better than the league against above 100 ERA+ pitchers.

    You mean you aren't fooled by the hypnotic eyes, telling you to forget that the programming is still bottom-of-the-barrel? Darn.

    http://crystalsiberians.com/KittensNov07.jpg Things not looking so good for them right now.

    Judging by this start? I'd say chances are good. Holy damn cow.
  13. Soul
    This is beginning to suck.
  14. Soul
    OK maybe I should do something else this afternoon. Good Lord.
  15. Soul
    Especially when going to the bullpen is likely to be an upgrade.
  16. Soul
    Wow what a frustrating inning. Two scalded balls right at defenders, baserunners on and everything. This isn't going to be another one of those stupid unlucky offensive days is it?
  17. Soul
    Smoked, but right at him. Fuku works it full though...
  18. Soul
    Brenly is doing a lot of rationalizing on this topic right now. Yeah. Fortunately Snell was out of control enough that Lee didn't need to swing.

    Mr. auto-DP up to bat.

    I trust this is not how Soriano envisioned starting off his day.
  21. Soul
    Sori being Sori, unfortunately. 1-0 Pirates on a "here have a free one" run.
  22. Soul
    Yeah. He'll likely be going up against St. Clair. Which of course means whoever wins the QB battle has earned the right to be carted off the field in an ambulance on opening day. "Congtratulations, you won the starting job! We will pray for you and your family." LOL. I wouldn't be so concerned about Freeney. I'm not sure he'll be quite ready for game action by then. I believe he'll play, but I don't have high expectations for him in week 1 or 2. His best use for the Colts right now is to just step on the field. If he does that, then the Bears will probably doubleteam him, which should leave the incredibly productive Mathis 1 on 1. I didn't know Freeney was hurting, but he could probably beat St. Clair at far less than 100%.
  23. Soul
    Is it though? Public squabbles aside, Stern likely realizes more than most just how much Cuban has done for the NBA in that area of the country. His support shows the other owners that whatever incidents have happened with Cuban as an NBA owner, the benefits have far, far outweighed the negatives.

    Ian Snell this year: 6.04 ERA 70 ERA+ 1.86 WHIP Yeah. 1.86 WHIP. Just relax and let this guy beat himself please.
  25. Soul
    Well, now that Duncan's out for the year and his inevitable collapse into oblivion is complete, I'd say Ryan Ludwick's place at the "Cinderella, the clock is striking midnight" table is ready.
