    I think O'Neal still thinks it wasn't too serious and Barrett just wanted out of the game. :roll:
  2. CaliforniaRaisin
    Well, he certainly came on strong in that department - between July 1st and now, he went 12/15 in SBs. He was 5/13 through June 30th.

    Felix's final AAA numbers: .283/.342/.452/.794 - 33 2Bs, 8 3Bs, 15 HRs, 46 BBs, 126 Ks, 17/28 SBs. All in a hitter's league. I wouldn't mind him starting at AAA next season, with a Kenny Lofton-type in CF at Wrigley.

    Control is supposed to be one of his strong suits, but he struggled with it down the stretch last year in the SEC (though he struggled with a lot of things then). He says he's figured out what was wrong and he was great in terms of control with Team USA. I'd guess he'd be ready in early 08.

    Thanks Cheese. As Serena alluded to in the Barrett thread, I have no faith in O'Neal anymore. He didn't know Barrett could have been seriously injured. Barrett asks to go to the hospital, Z asks for MRIs. The players seem to be better trainers than the trainer itself.

    He's being tried at the corner OFs and 1B, but not at 3B. I think that tells you what the Cubs think about his ability at 3B. I'd like to see him at C some more, because I don't know if his bat will be good enough for the corner OFs and definitely not at 1B.

    Well, I sat at one of the slot machines and started getting some free drinks (I'd half-ass and play slot poker, but really was paying attention to the football games). You'd definitely be able to get free drinks if you had money on the games - I didn't but was sitting in the area and I still got free drinks. Go for the beers, they're not watered-down like the mixed drinks. Oh, and the best part of the ESPN Zone was the high def TVs above each urinal.

    West Tenn wins their season finale. 4-1. Chris Walker, Richard Lewis, Jake Fox, Tony Richie and Carlos Rojas finish with 2 hits apiece. Brandon Sing hit a 2-run HR. JR Mathes got the complete game victory: 9 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 4 K. Peoria lost to Beloit 2-0 in a 5-inning rain-shortened game. Valerio Heredia and Francisco Tirado were the only 2 Chiefs with hits (back-to-back singles to open the game). Santo's final line: 4 IP, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, 2 WP.

    He'll be an everyday player, but probably won't come anywhere close to Aramis-production.

    I was there during bowl season. It's a nice place, but overrated. Any of the casinos showing games are just as good - and don't require you to get $10 worth of food every hour you stay there (plus the whole free drinks if you're watching the game in the casino proper). You have to get $10 worth of food there, every hour? That is ridiculous. I may just go to the sports book area in the casino to watch it then. Anyone have any other suggestions on a good place to watch it there? Food and drinks. It's not cool. I saw the Holiday Bowl for an hour and bailed, I had more fun watching it from the big screen TVs on the casino floor. Side note: Bowl season is a tremendously fun time to go to Vegas.

    There's nothing wrong with it, except that we're effectively ending our top prospect's season because we want a free-agent-to-be to get as much playing time as possible. It's a ridiculous statement. Can we only play one rookie at a time? Can't Jacque take some days off? We all know Murton isn't going to play every day anyways, so you might as well replace the days Pagan plays with Pie. He's gonna play in the AFL isn't he? I as well see nothing wrong with this, especially because Murton gets more playing time. Pie isn't going to the AFL. He'll probably play for Licey in the DR Winter League.
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    He has about 20 on the season.

    Nashville lost too, so Iowa finishes tied with Nashille. Damn tiebreaker. PCL American North Nashville 76-68 .528 - Iowa 76-68 .528 - A very valiant effort on the part of Iowa. Their starting rotation was completely gutted the last few weeks and they finished 1 game from the playoffs. Most of August and early September, they were without Guzman, Hill, Walrond, O'Malley, Aardsma, Wuertz and part of that stretch run, they were without Ryu, Marshall and Soto.

    And proper hydration. And voice-activated keyboards.

    A little story on Tyler Colvin in today's Idaho Statesman. Note the blurb at the end - the Hawks are going to change their logo in a couple of months and are expected to change their name too.

    Well, I didn't listen to yesterday's Boise game - mine was based on what I heard a few days ago. But Muldowney and Ceda would be on 4-days rest if they started games 2 and 3 respectively. Muldowney would be on 5-days rest and Ceda 3-days rest if they switched spots.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    That's good to hear. We'll certainly miss you, you're a hell of a broadcaster. With all the technical difficulties 101.5 FM had this year, I got to listen to quite a few different SL announcers...and let me say you were the best of the bunch.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Today is his last broadcast. :( Listen!!
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    :shock:

    Question #1-Rex Grossman. Question #2-Thomas Jones and Cedric Benson are the RB's. Question #3-I dunno. Who was the "offensive weapon everyone feared in 2005"? Peter King is such a hack. He continously lets his bias get in his way. The division is so strong that the Bears, at 9-7, wouldn't make the playoffs?
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    I think sethuel was being facetious.

    1:05 CDT. West Tenn up 1-0 after 1.

    John Lackey won't be available unless it's for a steep price.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Grr, no Scott Moore starting. :(
