    The pitcher(s) that pitched those other 60 innings would have to have an ERA over 8.82 in order for the cumulative ERA to be higher than the 220 IP, 4.55 ERA guy.

    I'm okay with the Brewers sweeping if they keep pulling comebacks like this and break the Cardinals' spirit. It'd be worth it to be neck and neck with the Brewers as long as we didn't hear from the Cards again.
  3. Transmogrified Tiger
    Welington Castillo still with an OPS over .950 after ~110 PA's in AA. He's slugging over .900 against LHP for Tennessee.

    Why is Kosuke getting double switched out of the game, he has like half the team's hits since the all star break Okay WGN, you can't start the broadcast right, you break into commercial during at bats, and now you can't tell the difference between Fukudome and Edmonds. Turrible
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    Does it matter? Play an outfield of Bay/McLouth/McCutcheon however you want left to right. Doumit can be in the mix too.

    huge zone on strike 2
  7. Transmogrified Tiger
    DeRosa could use a day off. This makes 20 straight starts for him(there's the all star break, meh), and he's 5 for his last 33 for a .524 OPS.

    I ordered mine over the phone, I have to get them at the arena the first week of August.
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    haahahahahahahah

    This is an example of someone who gets stuck on fancy statistics rather than ones that truely matter. He gets on base and bats towards the top of the order most games. He has the 9th best OBP in the majors. Do you know what IsoP is?
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    Wow, the Nats pretty much gave him away.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    Awesome.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    How bad is it that I completely forgot Lieber wasn't in the Chicago pen?
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    I wouldn't rule out adding a bat. It would have to be a significant upgrade though, which limits the options and eliminates names like Rich Aurilia. Where though? He's not going to supplant Lee, Ramirez, Soriano, or Kosuke with their production and contracts. Theriot, DeRosa, and Soto are about as good as it gets for their position, and two of those are young guys with the other being under contract for another year(not to mention Fonteneaux's capabilities behind DeRo). That leaves the Edmonds/Johnson platoon, which like I mentioned is torching the ball better than anyone on the team(save for the aforementioned Fonteneaux). I just don't see where it could happen.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    To put it simply, we can't really add a bat right now. Any bench bat would need to be right handed to make any sense(with Fontenot and Ward around), and they'd need to be able to play SS to replace Cedeno, since you can't replace Blanco or Johnson and they aren't going to go to 11 pitchers. You can't add a bat in the starting lineup because they only position that's not set for the forseeable future is CF, and the Edmonds/Johnson platoon is killing the ball there. Aurilia isn't viable at SS any more, and honestly, pretty much any proposed bench addition won't be a good fit. Because if you can play SS adequately(and this is a necessity with Theriot being shaky at SS) and hit for some pop, then you're a starter. If you can't, then the Cubs don't need you.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    You need to do better at something so I'm not letting you practice it anymore.
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    The implication is that we can't hit anyone anymore since we were middle of the road in June and bad in July.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Bob Howry is a good reliever. He's been an okay one this year, and a good one since the end of April.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    9 pitch innings are awesome
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Johnson apparently trying to get 27 outs that are absolutely smoked.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Well that sucked.
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    FirstInning.com has it for Major and Minor leaguers.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    How can your first post say "I told you so"?
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Duquette made that deal, it was a year after Phillips was fired.

    The big difference between soccer and baseball is the club leagues. MLB is the best players in the world, very few top players play elsewhere. In soccer there are easily a half dozen leagues with world class players, and the World Cup offers the chance to see all of them in action in addition to nationalistic pride. I'd also suggest that Olympic Basketball and Hockey aren't that big of a deal(mostly for the same reason as MLB). They may be a little more popular in the Olympic games, but that's more of a function of the nature of the game IMO.
