    Correct.

    Why didn't they check Dye's undershirt to see if there was any indication that the ball hit? I would think that if the ball hit Dye on his wrist there, he'd be in a whole lot of pain. Which he wasn't.
  3. CaliforniaRaisin
    Given the weather (temps in the 40s, rain), a pitch thrown that hard would have really hurt Dye if it hit him. When Dy started walking towards first with no sign of pain, that was a good sign that he didn't get hit.
  4. CaliforniaRaisin
    What happened? Konerko hit a 2 out grand slam. After Dye was awarded first base with a HBP on what was a foul ball. Add that to AJP's strikeout in Game 2 and the non-call on Steve Finley's catcher's interference.
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    Wow, the White Sox have gotten every bad call in their favor throughout the playoffs. That was a foul ball.

    You're totally missing the point of his post... because there is no point, you can't compare a part time player to a guy that has put up good numbers on a consistent basis. But CPatt isn't comparing a part-time player to a player that has put up good numbers consistently (because Juan Pierre hasn't put up good numbers consistently). .355 career OBP doesn't meet your criteria of good numbers? #-o You said consistently. Last year, he had a .326 OBP - not very consistent with his career OBP, is it? Hey, last year, his SLG was below his career OBP. I would rather take a chance on a guy that has been better on a consistent basis and chalk it off to 1 bad year, than go with a guy that has a consistent .334 OBP, with a history of injuries. I would rather go with neither. Why must the Cubs settle for guys who posted OBPs of .326 and .334 to solve the leadoff position when there are better candidates available?

    I wasn't watching - was it Tony Almeda?

    They're the Padres flagship station, I'd think they'd get a signing like that right.

    Probably rehabbing that shoulder.
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Thanks, Fred. I'm too lazy to get up and turn on the TV.
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    Somehow not shocked that Pettite is struggling...
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    Eww.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    They all could be a problem, especially with the defensive problems: @ Stanford (who just upset ASU) @ Arizona (night game, thankfully) Arizona State
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Agreed.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    My choices in order... Hershiser Dierker McLaren Gonzalez. No, Baker was not high on my list at the time of the hire. McLaren? John McLaren, TB's bench coach. Aggressive style like Lou, similar ability to relate to players as Lou, probably doesn't have the veteran fetish or the arm killing instinct of Piniella. Interesting. Thanks. Orel and Fredi are my top choices.

    UCLA to 7-0 with a 51-28 win over Oregon State. Drew Olson set a new UCLA record for TD passes in a game (6), breaking his and Cade McNown's record for 5 in a game. The best part of the game for me was seeing uber-hyped freshman Ben Olson made his UCLA debut. Up next, Stanford in Santa Clara County. Oh, and Mo Drew better be getting some love from the Heisman folks.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    UCLA better win this one when I get back from work...

    Cowan drops a catchable TD on a double cross and UCLA has to settle for a FG. Now up 10-7 with 9 minutes to go in the first quarter. Top WR Marcus Everett hasn't played much because he suffered a knee sprain. :([/code]
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    UCLA-Oregon State tied up at 7 (each team scored on a drive of about 1 minute long) after few minutes gone by in the first quarter. Spencer Havner just interecepted a Matt Moore pass and returned it to the OSU 20! This is Matt Moore's comeback to the Rose Bowl after transferring to OSU after fighting with Karl Dorrell over playing time versus Drew Olson.

    Yesterday: 3/4, K, HR for Felix.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Me too.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Speaking of, ND down 10-7. :o
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Not unless he plans on transferring to USC, ND or Texas anytime soon.
