    This ballpark is ridiculous. They just built this turd? :shock:

    Dudes, who turned off the O??!?

    Dempster to the ump: "That might be one of the greatest catches..."

    Did they eliminate the rule completely in the NFL? I can't remember if they just tweaked it or what. I know for sure they got rid of the 5 yard face mask, though. That irks me a tad bit. It's over, gone. If you're out of bounds, you're out of bounds.

    The dropped third strike is the dumbest rule in sports. No, in all of sports, that would be the inability to review force-out plays in football. Well there's no such thing as force-outs anymore (thank God). They exist now only in our memory. Incidentally, that rule change is really going to change things...

    Well you could see that coming a mile away after the ground rule double. :banghead:

    I'd be interested to hear your improved idea.
  9. Soul
    NO!!!!
  10. Soul
    Just seems like we aren't getting the good contact now.
  11. Soul
    So why wasn't that a balk again?

    I'm skeptical. I do not like what Soriano brings to the table, and he doesn't get on base enough for me. I hope Lou finds his balls and banishes him to be the best 5-7 hitter in the MLB. I agree. Getting a guy who will hit you 30-40 HR's a year less AB's is exactly what this team needs. Better than giving more to a guy who makes an out around 67% of the time he comes up. Soriano has his warts but let's not try and pretend he's not a very valuable player. Guy put up a 42.1 VORP last year and a 7.6 WARP. Advocating that he get fewer at bats is more than a little silly. Agreed, we're going to need Soriano to get hot at some point because there's no way all these guys keep going at their current clip. Sitting him out wouldn't be wise.

    ...which is exactly why people shouldn't be creating threads entitled "Best Record in Baseball!!" Argh!! Didn't the Brewers get off to a start like this last year? RAR! 8-)

    ri-friggin-diculous. Milwaukee has a significantly better split against lefties than they do against righties: vs. RHP: .232 .298 .358 .656 vs. LHP: .290 .354 .534 .888 wow they really do suck against righties. I didn't know that.

    Apparently Sheed's contract is worth around $6 million, with a $1.1 million signing bonus.

    Let's bat him 9th and hand him a lineup card before each game that's shifted one row so it looks like he's batting 1st.

    Why?

    <3 the Cubbies. This is some of the best Cub baseball I think I've ever seen. It's friggin' beautiful man.

    Would it interest you to know that the Cubs hit .329 with a runner on third and less than two outs last season? I'd be more interested to know what the Cubs .avg was of not scoring any runs with the bases loaded last year, and how that compares with the league. But then again, I'm not the one who was complaining.

    Did you watch the 8th inning last night? Yeah and it wasn't pretty either. It ended well, but we damn near blew that chance too. So you're counting 2 out hits that score 2 runs as a failure in that situation too? That doesn't seem fair. Cedeno's AB wasn't ugly at all. He did a fine job. Actually, it was kind of funny. They got Soto on a high fastball -- Hershiser says "I'd like to see that same pitch here" -- then the pitcher throws it, and WAP! Ronny serves in over the infield. It was beautiful. Yes it was, but it never should have came to that. TIme and time again the Cubs fail to get the runner in before it comes to that. Who cares? If the 2 run double comes with 0 outs, 1 out, or 2 outs...it counts the same. I was going to say time & time again last year we wouldn't have gotten the 2 out hit. That's the difference, so far.

    I'd be shocked if Fukudome's OBP drops sharply because pitchers are able to take advantage of a "lack of power" in some way. Too good an eye, and he's able to just foul off all kinds of good 2 strike pitches. Gets the bat on almost anything he wants to from what I've been able to observe. I just don't see the holes in his strike zone to exploit. Maybe I'm wrong, it is a small sample size still.
  24. Soul
    No he doesn't. Maybe, but probably not. No, he doesn't, and I'm not sure it's even close. Maybe, but again, probably not. I admire your keen ability to distinguish between sarcasm and reality. I admire your sudden and unexpected use of the word "keen"
  25. Soul
    I'll be on a plane during the draft, which is probably a good thing.
