  1. That's going to be disappointing for you. First team to 40 wins.
  2. Meh, I forgot about Castillo, although I'm not all that high on him.
  3. Thomas should've gone to Peoria with Wright and Smith. .297/.386/.541/.927, 21/22 SB, no platoon split, etc. EDIT: For that matter, so should Donaldson. .321/.436/.545/.980, 27/30 BB/K
  4. Picked up my Mizzou/Illinois ticket yesterday. Saturday can't come soon enough.
  5. IMB, pick before we give you Moose Johnston.
  6. Ward has to be hitting there, bad call or not.
  7. Nobody in the major leagues "swings for the fences". :-k Hmmm... Barry Bonds, Adam Dunn, Prince Fielder, Howard of the Phillies... and that's just in the NL. thin it was sarcasm guys Not in the slightest. The idea that people who put effort into their swings(and look bad when they miss) are "swinging for the fences" shows a profound misunderstanding of how home runs happen.
  8. You kidding me Kendall? Lyon strikes out a guy every 3 weeks, what's wrong with you?
  9. Nobody in the major leagues "swings for the fences".
  10. Can someone please tell me how we keep striking out on Doug Davis's fastball when Gameday says the ball is over the plate. Are we accidentally facing the backstop once we get two strikes?
  11. Doug Davis isn't going to win any Silver Sluggers soon.
  12. Perhaps you are confusing Jacque Jones with someone who is actually a) able to hit a LHP further than 100 feet or b) fast
  13. Pretty much any LHP that has a "good move" to first base is heinously balking.
  14. According to Gameday, ball 1 to Byrnes missed deep.
  15. Why didn't Fukudome play in 2005?
  16. Fine, I'm taking credit for carrying the Soto bandwagon the last two years then.
  17. Murton got jobbed this year, but hopefully we can still use him as a trading chip this offseason. Unfortunately with the construction of the current roster the best chance of having a good offense is acquiring someone to play RF next year. Since Murton is no guarantee of the production we'd like(yes, even with his .800 OPS in '06), I'd rather they look to someone like Quentin(who is undervalued and plays world class defense in RF) for that gamble, or go get someone who isn't a strong defender but can mash(Burrell).
  18. I think I had a dream last night we beat Brazil in the friendly. On a less crazy note, Dempsey scored Fulham's goal in their 2-1 loss to Aston Villa. Video goodness
  19. I'd settle for Derrek Lee circa 2005. http://www.tedwilliams.com/_data/images/1941s/title3.jpg a walk per game and only 27 (!!) strikeouts Sweet Jesus, he only struck out 27 times at that point?!? What the hell was up with him that year? Doesn't he average like 3 times that many strikeouts otherwise? After he returned from WWII, he never struck out even 50 times in a season. His career high was 64, the only time he was ever 55 or higher.
  20. His production would have been golden for us. Oh well. Also, isn't this one of the few years Dunn doesn't appear to be dropping off in the 2nd half? That was the big argument against him, that he wasn't good in August or September. Right now he's having his best month of the year, a 1.065 OPS in August.
