    If you scroll down here, you can see the breakdown of Felix's stats by month. His May and June were horrible, his July and August much better.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    And Heredia opens up the playoffs with an IF single. And promptly is retired on a Chirinos GIDP. 0-0 in the middle of the first.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    You're sounding good, Nathan.

    Good call, Serena. I just checked the AFL rosters and Minnesota was sending him to the Mesa Solar Sox. I don't know what will happen now that he's a Cub.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    I think it's way to soon to tell.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    I think that has to do with the purging of posts that went on. It kept all of the post counts, but in the total number of posts it got cut. so the purging of posts modified the % but npt the total post count? i see... To clarify... Total number of posts at NSBB = cut by the purge Individual post counts = maintained At least that's what I think it is. I believe you're right. P.S. Jon better watch out, I'm coming for him.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Except for Kenny Lofton. And Mark Grudzelaniek. And the 04 version of CPatt. And Mark Bellhorn (2002). And Eric Young (2000) And Lenny Harris(2003) Bwhahaha. In all seriousness he is about the 5th best this decade and we are in its 6th year. A real keeper. Lenny Harris only hit .111/.111/.111 out of the leadoff spot in 2003. Todd Walker hit .294/.370/.535 in 228 AB out of the leadoff spot in 2004, though. But...but...the Cubs have had a long-standing problem trying to find a leadoff hitter! Sigh.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    What's terrible about making Pie a leadoff hitter? I was just going to post that. What so bad about Pie hitting leadoff????? Poor plate discipline, poor ability to get on base, and (something the Cubs truely value in leadoff hitters), a poor rate of success on stolen bases.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    I hate the Cubs and their spin. And Sullivan laps it up.

    If you want to include the minors, Ryu sprained his ankle with Iowa.
