    Did anybody else see Bradley and Loaiza joking about the spilt coffee incident from Game 2 during Game 3? Just saw the highlights on SportsCenter. Good stuff.

    ...get rid of Mike Hampton's contract. The discussion about Hudson/Jones from the Braves got me to look up their current contract situations on Cot's and the first player listed on the Braves is Mike Hampton. According to Cot's, the Braves paid Hampton $13.5M in 2006 and owe him $14.5M and $15M in 2007 and 2008. OUCH!! Note: This really isn't a baseball discussion but rather a point I found very interesting.

    ndistops and I combined to lead the A's to the sweep this week. \\:D/

    Go Tigers!! Close this thing out tomorrow. Soccer10k wants to go see you lose to the A's next Wednesday.

    And his league leading total of 532 outs? Pierre was as a hitter the equivalent of an American League pitcher with an ERA of about 4 in 177 innings. Since that pitcher is doing a pretty good job, I'd have to say that Pierre did a pretty bad job as an offensive player. But he is fast and he does bat leadoff. That's what the thread title should mention: Juan Pierre: 2006 NL Out-making leader.

    Positive Cubs statistic: They aren't going to lose another regular season game for almost 6 months.

    soccer10k replied to B's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    Apples and Oranges in terms of the type of player. Crawford may not have as high as slugging% as Carbera, but is Carbera gonna swipe 50+ bases and play gold glove defense. I'd still take Cabera first, but Crawford isn't that far off. I'll take the .998 OPS OF rather than the .840 OF who steals bases by a huge margin - and to think Crawford isn't that far off, you must not be able to pass a urine test. Disgruntled Cubs Fan = Dusty Baker stan - "love that speed dude" Its unfortunate you can't debate your point without personal insults. How old are you? It's unfortunate that you think Carl Crawford is a comparable player to Miguel Cabrera.

    Wow Jeff, too much time on your hands?

    :lmao: Yeah, that'll be the day.

    ABJ for MVP.

    We should be mad at the Marlins. If Gonazlez was still available, Hendry's head might explode and the Cubs could then get a new GM as well.

    Excellent interview. A couple points: I don't like that Lou Piniella seems to be a favorite of Jim Hendry. Not good. I love the talk about the importance of OBP, SLG, OPS. My favorite line: "I'd rather have [Theriot] than a guy like Neifi Perez or Jose Macias that we had to look at the last couple years." Excellent and too true. And like I said, good job with the interview Irishoshea.

    Replace Tejada with Matsuzaka and you have my list.

    Cubs twiddle their thumbs.

    True. But, I'd like to see Pedro Feliz in Cubbie Blue. Give me Feliz, Soriano, Zito, and a ARam for ARod swap, and then we're talking. You do know that Pedro Feliz (.709) had a lower OPS than Juan Pierre (.718) in 2006 right? BTW, this has nothing to do with the topic but I found out that one Vance Nickelson sponsors Juan Pierre's Baseball-Reference page. I found this funny for some reason.

    This is great. Literally every out ARod makes decreases his trade value. Every single article written by the New York media drops his trade value a little bit. Every time John Kruk claims ARod threw his teammates under the bus (I still get a kick out of that), ARod's trade value decreases. It's great. I almost want the Yankees to advance just so ARod can have more 0-4 with 2 K games just to drop his trade value more. But only almost. Go Tigers.

    Do the Braves really want to dump that much salary? I do realize this is a hypothetical situation but that would be one hell of a salary dump.
  18. soccer10k
    ARod can't even tag a runner out correctly. TRADE HIM!!!

    I got home game #3 - which isn't guaranteed. it would be game 5 against the yankees or game 6 against the tigers. terrible managing by gardenhire in my opinion. you have to get nathan into the game there with the bases loaded instead of crain. One of my friends got home game #2. If they play the Tigers, I'll be there on Wednesday since I don't have to work that day. GO TIGERS!!!
  20. soccer10k
    Go Detroit.
  21. soccer10k
    One of my friends has 3 tickets to the A's second home game of the ALCS whether that means Game 2 or Game 4. If the Tigers can beat the Yankees I should be able to go to Game 2 on Wednesday.
  22. soccer10k
    I'm hearing Piniella could be the choice in DC as he does have ties to Bowden. Whatever keeps him out of Chicago.
  23. soccer10k
    You say you're in the "Cubs need pitching camp" yet more of your "Cubs needs" involve offensive moves (2) than pitching moves (1).

    Boston went to a World Series in a year that "injury prone" Nomar played for them. The Dodgers went to the playoffs in a year that "injury prone" Nomar played for them. Depending who you have to back up that injury prone player, I'd take a guy like Nomar on my team. That goes for JD Drew as well. To each his own I guess. Plus, where would you play Nomar on the Cubs? Not trying to be argumentative, just wondering where he would fit in since he obviously couldn't play 1B with DLee there.

    Game over. Series over. Come on Detroit, take down the Yankees so I can try to get tickets for Tuesday or Wednesday.
