They need the league number, not the name
-
Gameday has strike one as the exact same spot as ball one. -
Uggla miraculously remembers the way to first base.
-
Imagine if someone decided the Marlins should have even a normal payroll next year. They could get Sabathia and Teixeira and not break into the top 20 in payroll. Ramirez Hermida Uggla Teixeira Cantu Willingham Ross Cather Sabathia, Olsen, Nolasco, Miller, Volstad Wow.

well then there better not be a save situation, cause pitching Marmol today would be frakking dumb
-
Johnson hits 5th against a LHP, gets an XBH, then goes down to 8th against a RHP. Lou gets it.

Wood to DL
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Irrelevant Dude's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Wouldn't he be like the Bizzaro Peter Principle? -
Johnson's right handed, and that's a good idea. Give Cedeno a chance to roll over his success from yesterday, and get Theriot a rest against a RHP. He's started 20 of 21 games since coming back from that little problem that kept him out of the first two games at the Cell. He's 0 for his last 8 so he's not a hot bat to keep in the lineup either.

Should we be worried about a decline from Z?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to inari's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The good news is Carlos isn't getting lucky with all those extra balls in play from fewer K's, walks, and home runs. His BABIP, LD%, and batted ball types are all pretty similar to recent years. -

Wonder if they were satisfied enough with Cashner's outing yesterday to send him to Boise too. -
Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-25-2008

Stop walking so many people Veal. Stop giving up HR Bristow, and stop sucking Hernandez, you're depressing me with your performance this year. -
In my opinion, it's the absolutes without details, like USS mentioned. For anyone on this board, if you say something with conviction and state it like fact(Crane Kenney is inept, Bob Howry is a terrible pitcher), people who disagree, or simply would like to hear more about it, question that person for details(here's Bob Howry's craptacular ERA). Problem is that RedIvy can't/refused/didn't have details for those convictions, so all the posters here are left with nothing but that original declaration. In general, if you want to say something as an absolute, be prepared to detail your position. If you don't want to or can't divulge that information, then the original statement needs to be much more tempered. In essence, saying "this is the way it is but I can't say why" acts only as an irritant to others. Just my 2 cents.

Shark to start Saturday?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Little Slide Rooter's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I don't really have a problem with Samardzija starting, and I don't have a problem with Harden not pitching in Milwaukee. But if that's the plan, then call up Wuertz or Ascanio for today. Marmol is going to be unavailable after 50 pitches in 2 days. Howry has worked 3 of 4 days, Cotts has worked in 3 straight days(although light usage), Gaudin has worked in 2 of 3 days(although light usage), and Dempster is coming off a 118 pitch outing. I guess the plan is hope that Dempster goes 7 and use Eyre/Marshall/Gaudin to finish it off? Hopefully the offense puts up 10 runs. -
Let's not be silly here, Antz was not better than A Bug's Life.

Does anyone trust Bob Howry?

Wrong team to do it against with Mr., don't you dare throw at my guys, but I'll throw at your children's skull, managing the other team. This is what I tried to say yesterday, but you say it so much better.

Dominican Republic -
Anyone who wants to swing at a slider on 3-1, especially one as good as Marmol's, is going to enjoy a weak groundout, pop out, or whiff, even if he knows it's coming.

Samardzija Called Up
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Amie's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Not my first choice, but not terrible as long as they use him. With the current state of the bullpen, that shouldn't be a problem. -
lol, Larussa angry with the umpiring in post-game
-
If the Brewers were going to sweep, this is the absolute perfect way for it to happen. Three devastating late inning comebacks and a dominating shutout.
-
1st and 2nd, no outs, 1-1 to Ramirez
-
Blanco, give him a freaking target
-
DeRo milked that a bit, but I guess I'd rather that than he think he's got it at extension and then not have it.
-
With Zell, maybe but not with MLB. It requires approval by 75% of the ownership as you probably already know. Look at what happened in Boston with the sale of the Red Sox. The Red Sox weren't being sold by a public company.
