    more like self-lobotomy time Way ahead of you. I already sterilized the eggbeater. Fancy boy, a 2x4 will do the trick.

    Would somebody be so kind as to explain to me why people call the Cubs the Cobs? It doesn't seem like an insult... at least not a good one. So I just don't get it. NSBB lore. Somebody long ago ranted about them and accidentally spelled it Cobs, and it stuck.

    It's not as if Veal is the only SP prospect in the upper minors, he's going to have to beat out Marmol, Marshall, Gallagher, Samardzija, maybe even Holliman. Not that he can't or won't, but Veal isn't a step above all of those guys, so I don't see the trepidation in dealing him, especially for a long-term solution on offense.

    I have my own "Should I pull the trigger" I trade Tejada and Freel I get Glaus and Hardy I don't ever play Freel, and I need to add some power.
  5. Transmogrified Tiger
    slider down the middle, he won't get a hit
  6. Transmogrified Tiger
    He threw that pitch twice to Beltran
  7. Transmogrified Tiger
    CALL IT This ump looking away as the ball crosses the plate is pissing me off.
  8. Transmogrified Tiger
    hahaha, Sasha Pavlovic is the man
  9. Transmogrified Tiger
    wooo Ohman
  10. Transmogrified Tiger
    What? Wright hammered that.
  11. Transmogrified Tiger
    That could've been a double play ball? I guess if it was hit directly at Izturis or Ramirez.
  12. Transmogrified Tiger
    Bob Carpeneter and Don Sutton? That's almost as bad as the Nationals themselves. And hahahahahahahahaha
  13. Transmogrified Tiger
    What are you thinking Marquis? Did you just single handedly take out our corner infielders?
  14. Transmogrified Tiger
    What marketing genius came up with the idea for a Kevin Costner/Dane Cook suspense thriller? It's like something you'd read in the Onion.
  15. Transmogrified Tiger
    The Mets have been about 6 inches away from just about everything the Cubs have hit.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    Ugh, 1995 strike zone to Murton
  17. Transmogrified Tiger
    Did someone tell O'Brien his mom died during that double call?
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    With a LHP on the mound, you cannot bench Barrett when Lee isn't playing.
  19. Transmogrified Tiger
    I don't think so. Soriano got a very good read on it and took off pretty early, and it was a bloop that hung in the air for a bit. Even with Soriano gimping home it took a perfect throw to beat him.

    Unfortunately, with Theriot already on the roster, Fontenot is probably redundant(he's a worse defender and hits for more power). Maybe if we had somebody like Tejada(great player, great durability) at SS we could use both of them on the same bench.

    been busy, but in case you missed it, ESPN confirmed that Manuel knew all along about what was going on with Gordon. When he moved Myers to the pen, he was in effect getting ready to tab him as closer because he felt that he was the best option on the team to close. here is that article, also details some other funny biz going on. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=crasnick_jerry&id=2864344 Having a closer get hurt doesn't make it any less crazy to turn a good starter into a closer.

    Good to see we both agree that determining who is a better player based on a few at bats is stupid By the way: Murton: 70 AB Floyd: 73 AB what? wait. the people who are arguing against murton are always citing his lack of production this season. the people for murton are saying that murton's been more productive than the alternatives this year. that's how i take it. Yes, and prior to his last 5 or 6 at bats, he wasn't as productive as Jones or Floyd. So it's a bit misleading to say he's been more productive this season, when, in reality, his last few at bats have skewed his season statistics. Floyd could play tomorrow, hit a homerun and a double, and we'd be having this argument again. Fact is, they've both been relatively equal this season, and I don't think Piniella's choice for Floyd over Murton in certain games has cost us much, if anything. It's not the same as playing Izturis over Theriot with all things being equal, you should always play the younger guy. Especially when he was better last year, is faster, more durable, a better defender, better at poker, etc.

    Why, because it points out one of your corner outfielders is as about as prductive as Neifi Perez with about 1/3 of the ABs. It certainly ruffles the feathers around here to point out the flaws of the boards favorite son. Quick, guess who has the best OPS this year out of Murton, Floyd, and Jones. Hint: The answer is not Floyd or Jones
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Some up to the second Iowa OPS's: EPatt: .897 Pie: 1.179 Fontenot: 1.047 K. Hill: .846 Hoffpauir: .909 Moore: .690 :(
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    Murton now hitting .305/.359/.417/.776
