What about Boston having kids like Bucholz (can't spell his name worth a crap) Lester, and perhaps even Lester in the rotation? Or how the Yankees with Kennedy and Hughes? I'm not comparing the quality of young pitchers the Cubs have to what the Red Sox/Yankees have, but those teams were/are prepare to go with young, unproven pitchers in the rotation. Now, I admit it's been semi-decent with the Red Sox with Lester working out, but Masterson and Bucholz being hit and miss. And so far it'shasn't work for the Yankees, but that doesn't mean their young pitchers still won't developed. So just because a team is a "high-payroll championship contender" doesn't mean they won't take a shot at having cheaper options in the rotation. IMO, Kennedy and Hughes will work out for the Yankees, and Bucholz will work out for the Red Sox in their rotations. I don't buy your argument, because IMO it's dated. You can't simply ignore the fact that Buchholz, Lester, "even Lester"(Hansen? Masterson?), Hughes, and Kennedy are worlds better than Veal and Samardzija. It's the whole point. -

Wouldn't it be more likely that MiLB.com has the names wrong? They aren't exactly surgically accurate when it comes to Mesa. -
Ichiro's All Star Pre-game speech
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Banedon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I think Ozzie Smith's HOF-worthiness isn't a open and shut case. Even when you use offensive metrics that account for Ichiro's game, he's still underwhelming. He's broken a .300 EqA once, and counting this year he's been below .280 for half his career. He's tied for 34th in GPA among outfielders this year, after being 7th last year, 20th in 2006, 21st in 2005, and 8th in 2004. That's barely All-Star worthy, never mind the Hall of Fame. -
Ichiro's All Star Pre-game speech
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Banedon's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
So that's your criteria for the Hall of Fame? Mickey Tettleton walked a lot and Dave Kingman had a lot of power. Let's put them in! He's not saying that walking or hitting for power are the only criteria, but that there are standards for those that need to be met to be HOF-worthy. -
I don't like that the winner gets HFA, but the game last night was so entertaining that it was worth it. A couple ideas that have been tossed around. -Allow positional player re-entry, or at least a set number. It's great that guys like McLouth and Ludwick and Cristian Guzman made the All-Star team and all, but a device keeping them from getting 4 plate appearances would be nice. -Expand the break from 3 days to 5 and play the game Wednesday. That way every pitcher is on at least two days rest during the game, and the additional 2 days after pitching 1-2 IP ensures they can start their teams 1st game out of the break if needed. -Force pitchers to be in or out. No more of this "I'd rather not pitch because I pitched Sunday, but I guess if worse came to worse..." stuff. You're either available to pitch 1-2 innings at any point, or someone takes your spot for the game.

About time to start the draft? (please read)
Transmogrified Tiger replied to imb's topic in Fantasy Sports
That leaves Burnt and O_O as the ones that haven't checked in, right? -
awful Hart

I think Selig would've voided Morneau's contract on the spot if he had tried to go to third.
-
It would be Lidge to give up the game at this point.

somebody is gettin' himself a slumpbuster tonight. I think the only slumpbuster for a night like this is a bath with a toaster
-
That's how you do it Carlos, woo

Michael Young got dominated by the slider McCarver explaining to us the intricacies of a bouncing ball
-
This game may very well knoblauch poor Uggla
-
call it two of those easily could've been called strikes
-
okay, Navarro, Drew, Young isn't so bad let's go Carlos, throw strikes
-
Not off Sherrill he's not.

St. Louis

there are home and road helmets? Red bills on the road, just like the hats.
-
Kinsler already dumped a single off of Cook already, I don't care if Morneau is left handed.
-
I hope Uggla's family isn't watching this.
-
I can't tell if his shoe caught the glove when he started the slide, if it didn't he was definitely safe.
-
holy moly
-
What was that pitch Soria just threw
-
Anyone else think that throw was in the stands coming out of his hand?

Cook's sinker is just falling off the table tonight
