Can someone recap what exactly Horford did?

1st pitch is 7:05 Pacific, it doesn't start for nearly another hour. -
Thats not that terrible of a trade offer. Chipper is insanely om fire (reminds you of someone from last year...) but is already hurting this early in the season. Maybe if the third basemen were reversed, but why would I sell high on Chipper only to get another 3B that I'm buying low on? And I add the closer? Anyway, this guy is obsessed with trying to get Sherrill, the current counter proposal after several back and forths is Sherrill for Braun. Cross your fingers. No offense, but that trade proposal belongs in this thread about eighty bagillion times more than the original one you posted. Good luck though! Oh no doubt, I figure it's worth a shot for a guy this focused on getting Sherrill when he already has Pap, Jenks, and Lyon.

After seeing this I had to go find the quote, hilarious. How crazy of LeBron to think they're after him when they say so, then shove him and jack him in the head while he's in midair. I really hope the Cavs step on their throats in Game 5, preferably with LeBron scoring about 65.

I was just offered the privilege of acquiring Ryan Braun, at the low, low cost of Chipper Jones and George Sherrill. I also have Evan Longoria.

Went ahead and moved this to Cubs discussions. -
That's quite a stretch. Could be a couple pitchers who have the stuff to exploit him and have made their pitches over two days. Maybe he's not picking the ball up well with the new field's batter's eye. Maybe he's doing it to throw us off the trail that he's really a cyborg, it could be a lot of different things.

Terrence Wheatley is a second round pick? My goodness, I think Will Franklin beat him for about a half dozen 40 yard gains in their game against each other.
-
A .373 BABIP and he can't crack a .700 OPS. You almost have to try to do that.
-
Sorry if it's been mentioned before, but is Gameday not working for anyone else? It may be a firefox plugin thing on my end, but ESPN's worked earlier.

I've been trying to keep up with them a little bit being a local team and all, and they have to be excited to get the top talent in the draft at #5. I haven't read back to their pick at 15, but what do you think of Albert? A lot of people had Albert going at the #5. That's pretty amazing when you think about what actually happened. Oh wow, that's stellar. Hopefully they can keep it going with their second rounder.

Roy Oswalt
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Wilson A2000's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Oswalt is not trending in a positive direction. He may be hurt, he's a small frame to be bringing his stuff for that many years. Plus, he's the guy who wants to retire at around this age and take his big tractor he got from the Stros and go home. He's not a good target for a multitude of reasons. -
Minor League Discussion & Boxes 4-25-2008
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Samardzija has given up 3 runs through 2, thanks to 2 hits and 5 walks. At least he's K'ed two as well. Ceda's given up a pair of runs through 3, due to 4 hits(2 doubles) and a walk. He's K'ed 5. -
I'm pretty shocked at how far Martin Rucker has fallen. I know he had some injury troubles and therefore wasn't high on the measurables stuff, but the stuff about him being an inadequate blocker seems to be getting blown out of proportion. The fact that no one man can tackle him(and certainly no one defensive back) seems to be getting lost in the shuffle.

very funny, Samardzija striking a guy out in less than 19 innings of work, what a kidder -

Berg really racks up those ground balls. Good to see Thomas get back on track as well. -
Where have you gone, Michael Wuertz?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to bhogg's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
That's like saying Pitcher X is a fly ball pitcher - sure they were hit harder than you'd like and went over the fence and not in the outfielder's glove but he can't control that. Wuertz is getting crushed right now. Not really. Flyball pitcher = bad, groundball = good. which is not relevant to this discussion and not the question. The fact is Wuertz is getting drilled and you can't just ignore it because he's a groundball pitcher. He didn't say that Wuertz is a groundball pitcher, he said that "he gave up two groundballs, which is exactly what you want". -
The way I heard it was that you'll win 50 games and you'll lose 50 games, how you deal with the rest is how good you are.

Unbelievable Theriot.
-
That pitch wasn't even close, you've gotta be kidding me.
-
haha, Holliday upset that pitch right down the plate gets him rung up
-
Marquis, you cannot throw from an upright position. BEND

Tulowitzki diving stop to his left, flip to Barmes who bare handed it and fired to first for a DP.
