    This is deflating to hear. I really hope it's a case of severe wishful thinking. Of course this would wind up being some kind of miracle recovery. Why wouldn't it be? I don't wish injury on any player, but Hughes being sidelined sure was convenient.

    I was fixing to ask that :-) Bruce Miles Levine is an ESPN1000 reporter.

    Who the hell is that hottie? Nevermind, I know now... damn didn't realize who she was.

    This is the type of game that could get me interested in hockey. Just flipped over from the Bulls game.

    Ridiculous. Dempster will almost certainly regress from his 2008 numbers, but to declare he'll be another Marquis is a pretty bold and, frankly, absurd statement. It's not like his 2008 was stretched out due to fluke or luck wih him being saved by the defense and such...he kept his walks and home runs way down. His overall numbers over the season are, by and large, excellent. Marquis never had a season like this. The gulf between what you can expect from Marquis and what Dempster did in 2008 is huge. i will gladly eat crow or what have you, but i don't think that will be happening you don't think what will be happening? him not becoming jason marquis?

    Apparently Woody is looking for a 3 year deal, and the Cubs, having concerns about his long term health, are reluctant to give it to him. It would suck to lose our best reliever (Marmol) to the overrated closer role. That's probably my biggest problem with this.

    Two things. Derrick Rose is even more of the truth than the last time I posted it. Larry Hughes needs to stop shooting even more than the last time I posted it.

    Corey Graham is a better corner than Vasher anyway. *meh*

    Huh? Guessing you mean Gallagher...

    I haven't seen my NLDS refund yet. I got my NLCS one already. I'll be keeping an eye out.

    The Bulls desperately need Ben Gordon's scoring.
  14. David
    Derrick Rose is the real freaking deal. He was just going at it with Williams tonight. That said, he had a hard time with Williams on the other end, but who doesn't?

    I don't think a bad three games means the team folded under pressure, but that's just me. No, but when it happens two years in a row, it can't outright be dismissed. I suppose. Last year's team really wasn't that good though. maybe not that good, but they were better than the diamondbacks choke choke choke without a doubt in my mind, these last six games are folding games because of pressure Well, that settles it, then.

    Couldn't his speed be a reason for a higher BABIP than expected too? Just thinking aloud.

    Maybe I'm just being blinded by my insane hatred for Hunter Pence...I mean, I know he's 25 and has put up decent numbers over a couple of seasons..... but a package built around Hunter Pence for Jake Peavy?
  18. David
    Is there some other Pence other than Hunter in the Astros system? Am I missing some obvious sarcastic joke? I thought Meph was being sarcastic, but then nilo followed with a serious response and now I'm very confused.

    this is backdraft and i'm a fireman and you guys are all the fire i have to put out

    I wish I never had to read/hear a stupid baseball argument again.
  21. David
    thats kind of a dumb comparison really dumb no, tossing aside stats that don't support your case (under the pretense that one doesn't understand the formula) is really dumb using stats incorrectly to support your case is also really dumb (re: OPS+) even though i'm on your side of it, it was a pretty bad analogy...
  22. David
    This thread is hilarious... I went from being completely dumbfounded at badnews's suggestion that NSBB had/has some kind of love affair with Josh Hamilton to total amusement with terrible, irrational arguments made against Hamilton. I do think Hamilton is a bit overrated in general...but among NSBBers? Not so much. As for the formulas for stats like VORP, they're not really available (although you could probably ask Meph to come up with something close... I remember him posting about it for some stat before), and it's a bit closed-minded, IMO, to discount the stats just because we aren't made aware of how they're calculated.

    Since when do the Yankees have much to offer in trades? Melky Cabrera and Robinson Cano aren't assets. Did their farm system suddenly get good without me noticing or something?
  24. David
    That was the first season I watched the Cubs and the wild card chase that year is what got me into baseball.

    RIP http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/chi-14-foster-cubs-chicagooct14,0,6542461.story Kinda shocked to hear it. He was my favorite pitcher on those bad mid 90s teams when I first started watching the Cubs. He was also the first guy to win a game after the 0-14 start in 97.
