    Does it matter? It would be nice to know if Prior's readings are actually 5-6 mph slow....

    I like how the officer reports the Cardinals LCS ring as an ALCS ring.

    Floyd, a left-handed hitter, has a career .281 average against right-handers, and .272 average against lefties. Murton, a right-handed hitter, has a .329 average against lefties and .289 against right-handers. that's pretty much all i need to know. .277 .369 .498 .867 .289 .351 .436 .787 I'd rather have the top set of numbers. But I wouldn't vote for a straight platoon. Floyd's been around long enough that he has seen a lot of pitchers multiple times. I'd rather him start against those pitchers that he's hit well. I'd start him against Livan Hernandez in a heartbeat, for example. I'd start Floyd against Tim Hudson but Murton against John Smoltz. Agree with this comment Platoon espically is certain situation because of his experience against certain pitchers. What? I LOLed

    That was such a good game.

    C Posada 1B Howard 2B Utley SS Rollins 3B ARam LF Dunn CF Soriano RF Dye DH Ortiz Come on, do you really expect to score any runs with this lineup? Wow. Terrible lineup. So in need of some table setters and a prototypical 8th hitter.

    They're not saying the Cubs are moving backwards this year. They're saying they moved backward in the division in 2004, 2005, and 2006.

    His velocity has increased every start up to this point. I could see him hitting the 90's a few more times than he did last time. I'm more concerned with his command.

    Its weird it wasnt in park. Dudes lucky somebody came along otherwise hed have crashed into something eventually. Going at 2 MPH he coudln't cause that much damage. You think his car tops out at 2 mph? In that case, I don't know what we're all worried about. Considering he was sleeping, I think he's assuming (rightly or wrongly), that at that point, all he'd be doing is idling forward.

    Joke? Not a joke.......at SS, defense is more important than offense. You realize that ARod is the best SS on his team, right? That's one place you can start. Then there's the fact that defense at any position ISN'T more important than offense. Then there's the fact that a lineup of productive hitters of any kind will score more runs and win more games than a lineup with less productive hitters. I guess I'll stop there...
  10. David
    True... but going from Juan Pierre to Soriano is a huge bump. So is having Lee back for a full season. It'll definitely be improved significantly. How much is anybody's guess.
  11. David
    If by, "pretty good," you mean average at best (but more than likely below average), I would have to agree with you.
  12. David
    It's the mid-90's Indians way of doing things. I like it.
  13. David
    Joke? Not a joke.......at SS, defense is more important than offense. If it's not a joke, it's just very, very wrong. How is it very wrong.......when's the last lineup that had all HR hitters that did well. Not to mention both our infield defense and outfield defense will be bad. Arod isn't young anymore, he can't play SS like the way he used to. It is so wrong and misguided in so many ways that I don't even want to begin explaining why it's wrong.
  14. David
    Didn't you hear him? Lineups with all home run hitters just can't be good.

  16. David
    Not to further the threadjack, but... Trading Murton in a deal for Ichiro would be monumentally stupid. Oh, and Soriano will not be hitting anywhere other than leadoff.
  17. David
    Seeing those pictures, LaRussa and the Fonz look sort of alike.
  18. David
    I want in on the Marquis being a terrible pitcher action too.
  19. David
    That is a ludacris statement, while I love Mike Brown, this team will not be 500 without him. How many games has he played the last 2 years, and yet the Bears are 24-8 duing the regular season. http://www.daveyd.com/ludacris97.jpg

    MyNameIsSlimJD Wow. Brilliant.

    I'm tryin to make comedy. It's not based in reality. In that case, loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.
  22. David
    I don't mean just bleeping. I mean all-out editing and only playing things they deem worthy of playing. There are commentators (as much as the ESPN ones suck), after all. They can't just have the ump stuff on all game. They'll only play it with a highlight or two during/after the game, just like when they mic players.
  23. David
    With ESPN? Trust me, it will be every freakin play. You'll get to hear the HP umpire yapping quick nibblets of guck to the hitter and catcher after every pitch. I highly doubt that. They're not going to let that get on the air without them being able to edit it first.
  24. David
    They do? Did they get him in the trade for Ryan Sandberg and Greg Maddox? Just messin'.
  25. David
    Can't say that's my favorite quote of the spring... That's the nature of the beast unless you're a small market team. Yea. I think that's more of him just being glad to be out of Tampa Bay with somewhat of an extreme example of a young team. I wouldn't read too much into it.
