  1. 153 ERA+ in the AL East What's an average WHIP in the AL?
  2. I'd gladly take a 27 year old pitcher putting up the numbers Dice-K is putting up in the AL East. That said, it's true that he's not as good as the hype would've made one believe, but that's because the hype was ridiculous.
  3. I didn't say he wouldn't raise it. The point is we are already an extremely high payroll team and are guaranteed to be higher next year. It's not like he's taking over the Pirates. It's a little hard for this team's payroll to skyrocket.
  4. The payroll doesn't exactly have much room to go up. I don't see how it could "skyrocket." I'm guessing we'd see a bump of some sort, though, at least if he attempts to make a splash initially.
  5. Our offense is a lot better than theirs. Their bullpen is a nightmare.
  6. They just mentioned on the NBC local news that Cuban is trying to pick up someone local for his ownership group to get past the "local ties" concerns.
  7. No runs in the 2nd half / since the Giants meltdown. ERA all the way back down to a more Marmol like 2.95 It doesn't hurt that he got bailed out of a bunch of the runs he gave up in the Harden (debut) game...
  8. If Lou doesn't care about player salaries, what the hell is Marquis doing in the rotation over Marshall?
  9. After seeing that display by Z, maybe Geo needs to go up there and not talk to him.
  10. I hate giving up 2 strike hits...especially with two outs
  11. What do I have to do to join the chat room? I'm on a Mac... Do you have an AIM account? If you don't, you need to set one of those up. Then you need to set up iChat with that account (easier than it sounds) and the easiest way to get into the chat would be to IM one of the guys in there and ask them for an invite.
  12. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AppvwnGzEl7INNzwvUqJUFkRvLYF?slug=jp-blackouts080708&prov=yhoo&type=lgns
  13. http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CHC/pitch.shtml and so continues our reign (click ranks)
  14. Bringing him back next year would be tantamount to bringing Gaetti back in 99. Don't do it. Either sign a good corner OFer and move Fuku to CF or give Pie a shot at it... (or sign a good CF... I honestly can't think of any who will be out there, though)
  15. Edmonds now has 6 HR at the last 3 games I've been to (today, Milwaukee last week, Sox in June)
  16. Weren't they (Johnson and Ruth) from the same era, more or less?
  17. Zambrano could hit 400 with his limited plate appearances. What is the record for highest batting average by a pitcher with a least 60 AB's? Depends how many innings the pitcher had to have pitched. I'm pretty sure Babe Ruth is up there, with his .376BA in his first year with the Yankees... he only pitched 9 innings that year, though. His highest average when he was pitching regularly was .325...
  18. She doesn't care, as long as they're not mean to their employees or something.
  19. Yea, I wasn't really responding to that part so much as the other posters in this thread... Cool story
  20. How can our division be a joke when two of the best teams in baseball occupy it, as well as an overachieving Cardinals team. At this point, with CC and Harden going from weaker AL teams to strong NL teams, the NL has to be the superior league IMO. The fact that we lost the all star game was an upset (granted, part of that is because bad AL players were voted in by the fans)...
  21. I usually park at DePaul (garage on Sheffield a few blocks south of Fullerton) and just take the Red Line over if I'm driving to the game. Not a whole lot of walking and much lower stress than trying to drive around the stadium right before a game...
  22. but they were drunk
  23. If there's anything we can hang our hats on, it's that the team managed to go 7-9 last year with a similarly horrendous line (it IS a year older, though) despite injuries to several key defensive players (our dominant unit) and with a (presumably) worse running back. Also, IIRC, the line managed to look slightly improved once the injured Ruben Brown got out of the mix... (or am I thinking of Miller now)? Who knows about the WR situation, might be better, could be worse....depends on Hester
