Transmogrified Tiger

Looks like he hit it hard.

We are awesome.

I hope our professional ballplayers have a better attitude. :wink: Good one. I quote Eddie Murphy in Boomerang: "What time does the show start?" (i.e., when's the first pitch, CDT?) Check the title.

Chirinos gets demoted?

If they do, I'm sure the Reds will be stupid and demand the pitcher be Contreras or Garland. Every time I get pissed off about the Cubs, I just tell myself, at least I'm not a Reds fan. Or a Nationals fan.

Because he'd be at a corner OF spot in AAA? I really don't know. I'd think swapping Coats and Greenberg would make sense for the players and the teams.

Whoops, forgot to take off the question mark, I didn't know if it was you or Warp before I checked the Yahoo ID.

Who plays center for the reds then? They only have 3 outfielders + Dunn on the roster. I suppose Denorfia would work, but then they have no one else in the OF. They only have one other OF in their top 30 that had time above A ball, and that was only 83 ABs from the #25 prospect.

ESPN's gamecast looks really slick this year. The only thing I wish it had was the remaining players for each team in the pen and on the bench, but aside from that it looks really great.

Great range by Michaels.

That crowd was unreal.

Guillen trying to kill an inning again...

99 regular season wins and a 11-1 record in the playoffs is not luck. You guys are starting to sound like.... Sox fans... I'm just waiting for one of you to say you'd rather see the Sox lose than the Cubs win. Then we'll know the transformation is complete. Anyone short of having a biblically superior team going 11-1 in the playoffs requires a lot of luck. Their pitching health and success was also "fortunate". I really don't care about the Sox that much, but much like the Nationals(until they collapsed) last year, it grates on me when their success is misconstrued. I know what you mean. This game does take things going your way sometimes. Luck in the right places can change the way a season goes. That said, every team has good and bad luck. The season is too long to not get some of both. I remember a lot of Cub fans telling Sox fans to worry about their team and not concern themselves with how the Cubs are doing. It seems like a lot of folks aren't taking their own advice. What do you expect in the situations though? Last year when the Cubs missed the playoffs, all any fan can do is pick a team they win and/or don't want to win. Nothing wrong with that, I don't/wouldn't fault a Mets fan for hoping the Braves got knocked out of the playoffs. Had the Sox been knocked out last year, I also think you wouldn't see near the celebration that occurred when the Cubs lost in '03. And tonight, it's Opening night and everyone is starved for baseball. The Sox are the only team playing, and many people like the Indians and what Shapiro is doing there. First game you watch, you pick a team you want to win. Surprise, you want the cross-town team to lose(or the well built team to win depending on your opinion).

2006: 2500 OPS in 2 ABs

Anyone know if there is a Cubs schedule in RSS form? I can find an iCal calendar of it, but not for RSS, which I know isn't very common.

Thanks Jerry Narron. Sincerely, My fantasy team

P Justin Berg The odds of that guy ever reaching the majors are about 1 in a million. Is he really that bad? I haven't followed his career. Nope, but he's not exactly a top prospect either. Bad season at rookie league, followed by a very good showing in Short Season A ball before being dealt to the Cubs, where he only appeared in two games. He turns 22 in June, and has worked as a starter and a reliever.

That's what I do, I figure the benefit in the counting categories outweighs the risk of hurting you in the rate categories if the other player isn't as good. So for example, I should replace a player (even though he's a better player) if he doesn't have a game that day with a bench player that has a game as a rule? And pitching wise, I should activate pitchers on the day they pitch and activate bench pitchers on other days (assuming I should start my closers every day they have a game)? That's what I do, I'm not a fantasy pro so I don't know what the most common way is.

Rockin' the old username from the ancient mlb.com account

Continuing the trash talk from the league site, Vance is going to pay for taking all those outfielders I wanted.

I think the 75+ IP he had last year at the major league level with a .219 BAA and 10.6 K/9 matters more than the 8+ IP he has in spring training this year.
