I don't really think that's all time bad. I have no problem with a big league player being pissed that the few other decent big league players (and his teammates) are being shipped off for the sake of a future roster that he probably won't be on. He was pitching his ass off for a team that wasn't trying to win. I don't blame him one bit for saying that. In fact, I'm not sure I'd expect or want him to feel any other way. -
That's not a "side" of kap, it is who he has always been and always will be. He's equal parts jock sniffer and meatball. it's like he took lessons on it from barry rozner
-
he was one of the prospects we were rumored to be after in one of the trades in the early tank days. we were also rumored to be after jacob turner (before he got bad and we got him) from the tigers. I just cant remember who the hell we were shopping. garza, maybe? edit - yep, garza. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2012/01/cubs-tigers-talking-matt-garza.html

and now i want to revisit the ben affleck dvd commentary on armageddon yet again
-
Nasty. Hit 98 numerous times. Knuckle curve was nasty. The last two outs were somewhat loud (knowing what the park was playing like tonight), but whatever.
-
Sounds like Cedric Benson was killed in a motorcycle accident last night. Damn.
-
it's def dumb when playing at a park where weather is a non issue. i completely get why they do it at wrigley and the other places, though (so it totally makes sense that they're not doing one next year)
-
it's even more irritatingly fast paced and low scoring This is a really weird take from a baseball fan of all people — the sport everyone who doesn’t understand the intricacies calls “boring”. Do you also hate pitchers duels? The beauty is in the nuance. hockey is trash. soccer is too. horsefeathers nuance.
-
it's even more irritatingly fast paced and low scoring Shouldn't you be trying to figure how to not give up over a run per inning when you're on the mound for the Reds? nah i'm just cashin checks
-
i'd honestly rather go to the dentist than watch either of the sports where they quickly go back and forth 8000 times and score once every two hours Soccer and ?????? Surely you're not suggesting that ice hockey has the same pace of play as soccer. SURELY it's even more irritatingly fast paced and low scoring

Is that good? -
Hideo Nomo career ERA: 4.24 Hideo Nomo ERA with the Cubs: 0.00 I guess you have a point. You didn't specify which Cubs... https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/team.cgi?id=01882b48

Don’t forget that 2007 start by Trachsel pennant race magic caused the estes start in cincy, nevermind the rest of the season
-
between this and the earlier stuff about the audibles, this new marriage appears to be going swimmingly from the start
-
He did. Then he strained his oblique, came back too soon, and all that other stuff I already posted about for you happened. So that made him bad for 50 starts? No, I already agreed with you. Pennant race magic is what made him good for the past year in Chicago.
-
He also compiled those numbers pitching in Coors Jr. compounded with an injury at some point and mechanical stuff. It’s not hard to see where the bounce came from. Did he not pitch in Texas any of those first 32 starts with the Rangers when he had a 3.00 ERA? He did. Then he strained his oblique, came back too soon, and all that other stuff I already posted about for you happened.

that's right, pennant race magic!
-
He had a 10.23 ERA and a 1.043 OPS allowed his final 5 starts with Texas. He allowed 7 ER in his final start, and then It took him 8 starts to give up 7 ER total with the Cubs. he literally said it himself and it was evident on video. you can go ahead and argue pennant race magic instead, though. nah, he just wasn't trying as hard in texas because he was bored in a potential free agent year.
-
i bet it will. he'll be like "i'm gonna hit like i did the last time i was in the NL central." You should spend less time trying to be a smartass online and watch more baseball. Every year down guys take off in a pennant race andput up good numbers in places of past success. Did you say that dumb horsefeathers about Cole Hamels too? cole hamels took off because his mechanics were off and he was reworking them leading up to the trade. that makes a lot more sense than pennant race magic.
-
were you the "move contreras to the OF and start caratini" guy?
-
i don't think he's doing anything well this year.
-
I am intrigued by the "for long" part, because it implies he didn't suck the entire time. he was good for like 4 or 5 days
-
we couldn't get that 2008 jim edmonds magic out of cargo for long, maybe second time will work
