    Slap Nasty is pretty good, his appearance just begs for "Smalls".
  2. Transmogrified Tiger
    It's probably much easier to find someone who will not make the same mistakes as Hendry to replace him, than it would be to find someone like that in Dusty's case. Extending him is a bad idea IMO, he has done very little to inspire confidence since the Nomar deal, with the bad definitely outweighing the good.
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    Ah, I took it the other way. Maybe it was that in conjunction with the "Dunn's getting traded to the AL by the deadline" comments in the game thread.
  4. Transmogrified Tiger
    You weren't, but others were. I'm not trying to hold up PMR as gospel or anything like that, but for every "did you see how terrible Dunn looked in the field today?" there's something like PMR showing he's not an abomination defensively. He may ultimately become a DH(especially as he ages), but now he can play 1B and LF without significantly hurting his team. One game doesn't change that.

    Throwing things on the field is definitely not OK, but I think I would have busted a gut if someone threw high heels at Finley. I know for a fact that people threw bits of cork at Sammy, so TT may be making a sarcastic comment about incidents that actually happened. I thought cork might have been thrown at Sammy, but if shoes were chucked at Finley I missed it. I didn't know people threw cork at Sammy.
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    Drew, Upton, Jackson, Quentin, Young, that's a bunch of young positional talent.
  7. Transmogrified Tiger
    You know what would've been really funny? If fans threw pieces of cork at Sammy after that incident. Or high heeled shoes at Chuck Finley.
  8. Transmogrified Tiger
    Yeah, according to Yahoo it doesn't look like it's on there.
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    That would have been very awkward for him to remain standing. Payton just misses a diving catch, that would've given each OF a diving catch in the inning.
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    Great tag by Crosby to get Cano stealing.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    PMR has Dunn a little above average for a leftfielder, above such players as Shannon Stewart, Jason Bay, and Todd Hollandsworth. He's always had relatively good speed for a guy his stature, and obviously he's not going to drop many more balls that hit him in the glove. He'll never win any gold gloves for sure, but he's far from a fish out of water in LF.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    With digital cable, you should be able to order it, but I think there's a chance your carrier might not provide it.

    Then why'd we get rid of Patterson? b/c he couldn't get on base. what does that have to do with speed not slumping? i realize you can't use speed w/o getting on base, but that's a separate argument from speed not slumping. No, it's exactly the argument. The saying "Speed doesn't slump" isn't referring to basestealing, it's referring to guys not going into hitting slumps because they can use their speed when they struggle. Unfortunately, speed does slump, because slumping rarely has anything to do with speed. Corey Patterson has a ton of speed and slumped terribly because he couldn't make contact and when he did he hit it straight in the air. Neifi Perez has some speed, and he can slump terribly because all he does is weakly hit groundballs. It sounds nice to say "Speed doesn't slump", but it's not true. If you can't hit you can't hit(whether it's your true ability or a bad stretch), and occasionally beating out an occasional chopper or bunt doesn't change that.
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    Jacque Jones is a terrible defensive outfielder. Aaron Miles is a Hall of Famer.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    Then why'd we get rid of Patterson?
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    We are awesome.
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    So you admit that speed is not as important as OBP, but then you claim it's sickeninig that people don't think it's as important as OBP? Goony, you're putting words in his mouth. Where in his initial post (or any subsequent post) did he claim that it's sickening that people don't thinkit's important as OBP? He merely mentioned that Speed can and will play a huge part in the Cubs team this year - which is accurate. uh...
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    It depends on how fast he gets around the bases on that homerun. I think that thread should focus more on the harnessing of time travel, but that's just me. I got it in. Suck it Trebek.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    Wednesday, that is, not tomorrow.
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Will there be a similar thread if we win 1-0 on a solo home run tomorrow?
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    That doesn't inspire a lot of confidence Eyre. Did Brenly just say Griffey has 3 HR against Eyre?
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Once Brenly gets going on the good ol' days stuff he goes all out. Man he's a bad analyst.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    WOW, Pagan can move.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Looked to me like both guys slowed up, Lopez even moved away from the ball. More crap infield singles!
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    Please try to hit the ball hard Pierre.
