  1. Quit braggin already, man.
  2. Agreed. Kendall makes a great backup/insurance plan option behind Soto. Only if it's made clear that Soto is the starter, like you said, though.
  3. I guess the good part about Soto continuing to rake and show good defensive abilities is that I'm actually starting to believe Hendry and Lou would be comfortable heading into 2008 with Geo penciled in as the starter. The offensive power advantage over Kendall is wonderful, but the defensive ability to throw out runners should make it a no-brainer to continue starting him. I would definitely turn that statement around. I hate to beat a dead horse, but I like to make a point of this. The offense makes it a no-brainer. The defensive advantage is what is wonderful. Defense = the icing on the cake that is a hitter. Maybe I'm just nitpicking, though.
  4. Already posted. As for the bolded...I'd risk it. I know that Cuban will take the right approach to building a team. He's a stats oriented guy and a very forward thinker. If he sees it fit to tear down Wrigley at some point in the near future (which I doubt he would), so be it. I care far more about the on field product than anything else.
  5. They should just bring Geo's back. He'd get them to sell this time around.
  6. I almost registered over there just to reply to that douche. You should.
  7. The thing that I like about Cuban, that is probably overlooked by much of the public (though not by most on here), is his forward thinking approach. Stone goes on the radio to downplay Cuban as a potential owner and he thinks that we all want him because we think he'll just buy everyone up and get us a winner. While that's part of it, that's not even the biggest part for me. Cuban is a big stat guy and I'm fairly confident that he would be all about the sabermetric approach to the game. Hell, he'd probably even employ guys trying to come up with new stuff. With these other guys, as much as they talk like they want to bring a winner here and spend money, there's no telling if they wouldn't just continue what has gone on here for the past few years and just spend money the wrong way.
  8. Nevermind, just rechecked the thread. Looks like we already knew. He's trying to appeal to us by acting like Cuban.
  9. Well, that answers the question about the pink hat guy.
  10. Always began with Swung on Belted! That's right.
  11. If they made the LCS then he would, I believe he'll be the No. 1 guy. I doubt TBS gets LCS games too... FOX probably gets those right Lee! 3 hits for Derek TBS is doing the NLCS, Fox is doing the ALCS. I hope not!! Unless TBS is coming out with an HD channel within the next 2 weeks... Seriously. If there's no HD coverage of the NLCS, that's a travesty. Wow.
  12. I don't even remember how Chip's HR call went. I was indifferent about him. The best "darn" sports show crap annoyed the piss out of me, though.
  13. http://www.frogwosh.com/images/green_van.jpg :lol: LoL your supposed to put another picture of a GEO up for soto http://www.tilt-rotor.com/2004/JapnTrip/Toyota/20040326_DeSotoAirflow.JPG 1934 DeSoto
  14. Meh. With 12 HR in the second half so far, I'm not all that concerned about Lee's power anymore.
  15. I can't stand Pat Hughes. STOP SOUNDING EXCITED WHEN THE GOOD THING HAPPENS FOR THE OTHER TEAM.
  16. Only the Cubs could hit as many balls as hard (for hits) as they did this inning and wind up with 1 run. WILD PITCH! TIE GAME!
  17. I'm just glad it wasn't a DP. I'd take a DP in that situation as long as a run scores and ties the game. With 1 out? There was nobody out when Soriano was up..
  18. LOL Hughes "So Theriot ALMOST gets a 3-run homer. He gets a single to left."
