How in the great blue sea does Kip Wells give up SIXTEEN baserunners in less than 5 innings and only give up 5 runs? -
Piniella Dumb Decisions Thread
Transmogrified Tiger replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Both these deserve more recognition. Outstanding. -
That must be really rough for you.

Hardball Times had an interesting tidbit the other day about Andruw, something about his batted ball types being in decline for about 4 years I think. Not good news for him rebounding they were saying. If it were me, I'd find the cheapest price(in players) for some of the potential RF targets without adding too much salary(I think Raw discussed them in the offseason thread in transactions), and let Pie, Theriot, and Soto play. It's not ideal to have DeRosa 6th instead of 2nd, but I think it works better than hitting Pie/Soto/Theriot back-to-back-to-back. Soriano Theriot Lee Ramirez RF Target DeRosa Pie/Soto Soto/Pie

Where would you prefer to talk non-Bears football?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to soccer10k's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Winner. -
Yes.

The USA Women kicked off the World Cup that they are favored to win by tying North Korea 2-2, needing an equalizer to get any points. Not a strong start.

Wouldn't that be Clint once Altidore is established as a target player?

Week 1 - Chicago (0-0) vs. San Diego (0-0), 3:15 CT, FOX
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Jon's topic in Other Sports
No kidding. Look at that replay they just showed. It's not even close. I agree. But I will also say if I had a nickel for every time a neutral zone infraction isn't called I could probably buy a new damn car. It didn't deserve 30 minutes of whining from Rivers. Alter your cadence and quit crying. Maybe a Matchbox car. Maybe. -
They lost to Texas in the Rose Bowl after a long break and lost to Oregon State after a bye last season. That defense will eat up Keller, whether the game is in Lincoln or not. I'm curious to see if Nebraska pulls the same "give up the game to make sure we don't lose by 50" stunt in front of their fans like they did at USC last year.
-
Ben Jarvis Green-Ellis is a real good back, but if this is really the Mizzou defense then Oklahoma is going to run for about 500 yards, and Javorskie Lane is going to eat us alive in every sense of the word.

Who would you rather see pull a hammy?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Maybe they'll get in a fight with baseball bats or samurai swords or something. -
Littlefield finally fired

It seems that way because you don't remember those comfortable leads as vividly. We've had plenty of multi-run wins get finished off without a hitch.
-
Five premium pages and no mention that this is being reported exclusively by the New York Daily News? The Dugout is a more accurate reflection of player's lives than the reporting that goes on there.

A strong start for the defending champs(in real life and in our league), courtesy of Mssrs. Addai and Wayne.

Welcome! Do you mind resizing that sig? It's about 5 times as big as your post itself. -
Altidore is missing a Red Bulls game with injury, so there's a reason he wasn't put on the roster. SBI also had a post supporting the decision on the grounds that Altidore is still really young and doesn't need the pressure of being the savior of American forwards at age 17.
-
I'm not a huge waiver freak, as long as no one picks him up I'll just wait til all the rosters get filled out to switch them. He's a backup anyway.

Transmogrified Tiger replied to Alfonso Soriano's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
quite a bit. I seem to remember reading about a significant Green Monster factor coming into play when rating Ramirez's defense via metric. He's bad out there, no doubt, but I don't believe he's as terrible as his reputation. Yeah, I was going to mention this too. -
I think that depends on who's doing the "rating". On the whole I don't think he's underappreciated.
-
We're going to score points, probably quite a few. Aside from that, well let's just say that every game left on the schedule (save Illinois St.) scares the crap out of me.
-
I have the wrong Alex Smith. You gave me Tampa's TE and I drafted San Francisco's QB.

How are Vizquel's Gold Gloves a joke? Most of his career he's been a above average defender but not great. Check out his fielding rate. I can't believe he beat out Adam Everett last year. Well yeah, in the last couple years he's declined, but I don't think that long streak he had most of the 90's is illegitimate. As an aside, BP's fielding metrics are terrible.
