    We tried to get him in 03. He didn't want to come here, anyway.

    Not so sure about that. If I remember correctly, he always had it in for Z and never saw much potential in him as a starter. That alone makes me glad we changed pitching coaches. That aside, I did like him otherwise as a coach. He was a great interview too. Sad stuff.

    Their skills are not as scarce.

    How are baseball players less replaceable? Every year players retire, and every year new ones come in to take their place. By saying they are not replaceable, there would be zero talent on the fields right now as it all should have dissipated decades ago. Are you kidding here? How many active major-leaguers are there? How many people in this country are there? Maybe one in a million people will actually become a big league ballplayer. I don't know how many people could do your job, but I'll bet it's a lot more than that. The difference is due to scarcity. Exactly.

    huh? :-k Shoot....I forgot my English to English translation book. Place the word "with" between "somebody" and "the name." Mark Prior's Calves started this game thread. As for the connection... nope, didn't find it very interesting at all. :wink:

    Len can't be right about that one. What about the 95 World Series? I suppose it could be Lofton's first regular season AB against Maddux.

    .244/.289/.308 Why must you turn NSBB into a house of LIES? He was on the juice with NY and his numbers with them weren't much better.

    However, I will say that while I think the Lee trade was a bad one for the Sox, I don't think it's anywhere near being the worst of the past decade. Save that distinction for trades like the Astros trading Bobby Abreu for Kevin Stocker.

    ? Wasn't Jones moved down in the lineup last Sunday or Monday, when Barrett was moved up to #5...
  12. David
    Who was that a bad trade for? The Sox. Before anyone else says anything, I'll reply now. The mere fact that they won the World Series doesn't automatically absolve Kenny Williams of blame or criticism for making bad trades nor does it make all of his moves good ones.

    Might not have had it yet... What is it, 5:45 in LA?
  14. David
    Wrong.

    I'm sure Mr. Aardsma is angry that you stole his mugshot I'm sure that Aramis is angry that you are stealing pictures of his pose. And I'm sure that broom doesn't appreciate you stealing his likeness. And I'm sure that Hobbes doesn't appreciate you stealing his child. Anyways...woo Aardsma! It's not Hobbes's child. It's Calvin after he used his transmogrifier.. DUH!!! Don't you know anything??

    Are you being sarcastic? No, I'm not. OBP/walks are the best measure of plate discipline. 02 - 158g, 128bb 03 - 116, 74 04 - 161, 108 05 - 160, 114 Thanks for, um, supporting my argument... :wink: I really wasn't being sarcastic in the least.

    standings

    David replied to Shilzzz's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    No, Wolf is right. Two teams that are 7-4 aren't tied with a 7-5 team. Also, this probably happened since the original post was made, but Houston is 8-4. The winning percentages are also off. Let's just make this easier.. http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/standings/index.jsp

    So I just caught the score of this game during the Cubs telecast. Totally forgot that this game was such an early start. Did Miami play their scrubs all game or something??
  19. David
    Sweet! Any word on his stuff? We've been hearing that it's better than it has been since 03. I really hope that's the case.

    I'm the biggest TWalk fan in the world, and I have no problem with sitting him vs. lefties. His flukish 2005 aside (don't even look at 04, not nearly enough ABs vs. LHP to conclude anything), Walker has been pretty bad against lefties throughout his career. Is it possible that at 32, Walk suddenly figured out how to hit lefties? I suppose, but I doubt it and would sooner attribute his 2005 line vs. lhp to luck. Straight platoon is fine with me.

    Actually dugout seats are usually the seats held by season ticket holders or brokers. Try to call up the box office at most stadia and get a seat a few rows behind the dugout. It's usually not there. The fact is, no matter where you sit, there are going to be people drinking. I still don't see how having cheerleaders makes it any less of a family environment. They aren't even that scantily clad, no more than a lot of women in the stands. Are high school football games not family friendly either? You are wrong about dugout seats, especially in Wrigley. You can walk up to Wrigley the same day as the game and get seats behind either dugout. Justify bad behavior with worse. Awesome parenting. When your kid gets older you'll get to enjoy the conseqences of that attitude. :wink: Enjoy. This is so not true, it's not even funny. Maybe if you're buying a single ticket. I would know, I NEVER buy tickets in advance, and go to 15-20 games a year.

    I think the joke has run its simulated course...
  23. David
    I second this entire post. Exactly what I was thinking. Does anyone take kids to the ballpark? Is it a family experience? Go to the strip club w/o your kids. You can't be serious.

    The Cubs did not lose to the Marlins because of Dusty's managing. The Bartman play, Gonzalez's error, and the lack of a pen were much bigger factors. Dusty is not a good in game manager which is part of the reason they haven't been back, but I won't put 2003 on him. The management in Game 7 was an abomination. Game 2 was also poorly managed. Oh.. and the end of Game 1...
