    I don't think the Cubs would "collapse into awfulness" as quickly as the White Sox. The core of the Cubs are still in their "prime" years and the pitching staff has lots of young arms waiting to replace someone who falters. Obviously, the Cubs could regress after winning big, but not to the extent of the White Sox. Ack, I figured someone would think that. The Hendry-Williams comparison I was making only went as far as "not very well built team got lucky and won the world series, GM still not very good". Sorry for the confusion.

    Roast and O_O still need to register for the league, although I think O_O is still having some internet access issues for the time being.

    Crap, I live with a couple guys who are at practices all the time, and I forget exactly who they said. Woods and Saunders are definitely in the mix, and I think I remember Maclin's name as well as Washington's(might've been Gettis, can't keep them separate in my mind).

    ? He did and hit .328/.430/.590 Thanks. For some reason thebaseballcube doesn't have anything on him in 2005.

    That's going to be disappointing for you. First team to 40 wins. Then it will be the Illini. Their defense will be decent to good. You're forgetting that Chase Daniel is apparently winning like 7 heismans this year. He's not selfish, a half-dozen is fine by him. Wolf, this does a good job outlining Mizzou, except for the inexplicable praise of Brock Christopher. EDIT: And Ricks hurt himself and will be out this Saturday.

    Vazquez is one of the more underrated pitchers in the game. That said, Williams isn't very good. It's great that he won the World Series, but that team's success wasn't the result of his development of the organization, as their collapse into awfulness so soon afterward shows. In fact, you could say remarkably similar things about Hendry if the Cubs were to win big this year.

    Meh, I forgot about Castillo, although I'm not all that high on him.
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    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

    Picked up my Mizzou/Illinois ticket yesterday. Saturday can't come soon enough.

    IMB, pick before we give you Moose Johnston.
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    Ward has to be hitting there, bad call or not.

    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.

    You kidding me Kendall? Lyon strikes out a guy every 3 weeks, what's wrong with you?

    Brewers lose.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    The only RH bench bat is Blanco.

    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?
  20. Transmogrified Tiger
    Doug Davis isn't going to win any Silver Sluggers soon.
  21. Transmogrified Tiger
    Perhaps you are confusing Jacque Jones with someone who is actually a) able to hit a LHP further than 100 feet or b) fast
  22. Transmogrified Tiger
    Pretty much any LHP that has a "good move" to first base is heinously balking.
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    According to Gameday, ball 1 to Byrnes missed deep.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Why didn't Fukudome play in 2005?
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    Fine, I'm taking credit for carrying the Soto bandwagon the last two years then.
