ah hah haha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa What a great organization. Seriously, who wouldnt want to work there? And to think they are in last place.... ah hah haha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=stark_jayson&id=2910803

So, now that Tejeda's streak will be over soon (and it was the 5th longest in MLB history), guess who becomes the new leader with just over 700 straight? And i got this from BT tonight. The guy that anchored it was like a sports version of Kasey Kasem. I wanted to put my head in a blender and hit pulse. For the love of god, free ravech, free boomer, free berthume, or even revsden....but no more mini Kasey Kasem.

I believe his middle name is dolan, not freaking. :lol:

Edit: and just so its not misconstrued, the link for Raisin was the word he accused me of misusing the other day in describing Barrett, which he stated that i used the word incorrectly and didnt know the meaning of it. i highlighted it so you wouldnt miss it this time. but thanks for getting involved in another scrum that you werent involved in the first time around. Edit: viewtopic.php?t=41556&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=60 for the Raisin link and That is the link and quote.

Well, i seriously thought you were one of the ones around during the CP discussion and if you were, you would know why it comes up from time to time. Everytime someone mentions Alex Sanchez, then the CP line will always be listed next. Its like a game of you messed up and so did i, where both groups were cosmically wrong in their opinions about the players. No one knew for sure that Sanchez was on steroids at the time, nor that CP wouldnt ever listen to coaching- its just being a bit of a pundit/critic. Sometimes you are right, sometimes you are wrong, but most times you are just meh. And i dont know why you would want to involve yourself in that discussion unless you just wanted to start trouble. And i am sorry that me not liking Barrett upset you. I dont think Barrett will ever put up the numbers he has put up in the past again, he still is a terrible defensive catcher, and he was hurting this team in my opinion. I dont delight in him playing badly b/c he played with the Cubs, but his presence was being an albatross to this team. (required definition for Raisin- http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=albatross). We also couldnt bring him back next year. So that is my opinion and if you feel otherwise then great. Argue it, accept it, or just move on. Edit: and just so its not misconstrued, the link for Raisin was the word he accused me of misusing the other day in describing Barrett, which he stated that i used the word incorrectly and didnt know the meaning of it.

ding, winner.

What is Not Soon Enough Alex?

i dont believe i mock anyone. i try to engage in rational point by point discussions and keep it clean. there are a couple posters (like an IMB) that i have locked horns with in the past over a few issues where it got kind of personal, but i doubt very much you would ever find one of my posts where i called someone else on this board an idiot, clown, or rtard. Everyone is entitled to their opinion despite how popular or unpopular it may be. As for how this all came up, if you had been involved in the original discussion about CP and Alex Sanchez, like a few others, then by all means have your say. Trying to interject yourself in now, years past the discussion, makes you appear in a negative light as a bandwagoner. Anyone could have 20 20 vision over past decisions.

did he make a good catch? just got in.

cubs have been extraordinarily patient at the plate recently, looking at a lot of pitches. i like that.

yep. gotta run here.

Who is in our pen warming?

angel pagan doing his best today i see to get Jones run out of town when ARam comes back. i likey angel.

He has a 957 OPS, thats not too shabby.

Ya, b/c the ? is who shouldnt be here right now. That doesnt mean ever or never again. Take a look at the oppo OPs tables for the AL along with the ERAs. With 100+ TB the names at the bottom include: Weaver and Perez (whose GM should be locked away for criminal insanity), Millwood (no idea what his problem is as i havent seen him pitch this year), a bunch of TB pitchers (which i did cover earlier), Greinke (who has been demoted out of the SP rotation), Maroth (which i can understand somewhat b/c of the Nate Robertson problem- what else are the Tigers going to do with only Miller ready to step up), then come Sowers, Tejeda, and Lee. Sowers and Tejeda are kids. Tejeda is not the worst starter on his team. Sowers and Lee are both on the Tribe. One of them should go. My choice is Lee, b/c besides the one good year he had, he looks to have returned to old form this year. Maybe a trip to the minors would do him some good. Edit: Nm, sowers was sent down too.

look above that at some of the other stats i posted about him. Then consider this: 515 oppo sluggo + 349 oppo OBP= an 863 OPs Against. I know i couldnt wait to have an 863 OPs against on my staff. Fyi- Eyre is 970, Ohman is 768

why are you always trying to start trouble? You say you are not a fan of CP, yet you start the Alex Sanchez thing, which i firmly stand behind. so what is your deal, are you a troublemaker or what?

Lol. Milton just likes to fight. And the first rule about fight club, is that you dont talk about fight club.

ERA+ 2004 84 2005 110 2006 102 2007 80 Way to let 1 good year weigh your analysis. Do you work for Jim Hendry? http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/stats/players/index.php?playerId=1636&firstName=Cliff&lastName=Lee

Ya, i missed him on the list of the Rays to include. Didnt sort my list right, you are right for sure.

Orlly? He had one good year in 2005 and you think that makes him a world beater? His numbers this year so far are way past his 2004 numbers in pure ugliness. I think we should trade for him immediately. Would love to have a guy on our staff that has a 5.46 ERA, avgs. less than 6 IP start, gives up more H than IP, an oppo sluggo of 515 and has a FIP of 5.86 (although his xFip is 5.65). This guy should not be in a ML starting rotation. But sure sign me up today.

ya, he got cut in ST by the Fish. Have you checked up on your boy Corey abuck? .210/.261/.288.

25 BB and 6 WP in 52 IP is not good. 5.88 ERA even less so. He has talent and will make the big leagues one day, but he has absolutely been rocked the last 4 starts (22 ER in 20 IP). Either he makes a big adjustment soon or he should go back to AAA to get some confidence back. As for Wandy Rodriguez....do you really think his ERA is going to stay down at 4.19 with the stuff he has? Its just a matter of time and pressure til his numbers revert to form. I am sure Sean Estes had a few good months somewhere once upon a time too.
