    Can we give Baker an IQ test? Is this possible? I think he would set the record for lowest IQ by a manager. EVER.

    Wow on Maddux's pitching line. 68 pitches in 8 innings. I hope Maddux gets to pitch against the Cubs during the series in September. He could set the record for least number of pitches thrown in a complete game.

    Wow. I knew Marmol walked a bunch of guys but I didn't realize he walked 8 and the Cubs have allowed 10 walks on the day. I guess it's not surprising that the Cubs have walked the most batters in the majors this year. Yup-what was shocking to me was how easy it all was. It was pretty easy for the Rockies to stand up there and walk all day when few pitches get even close to the plate. It seemed like that one batter he would throw 3-4 strikes in the at bat, and then walk the next guy on 4-5 pitches where very few if any were borderline pitches-and that seemed to happen all day long. 106 pitches today and less than half (52) were strikes.

    Jeter had to run much further than Lowell did. Lowell was also able to slow down before he went into the stands whereas Jeter was at full speed and didn't have time to stop. Both were great plays though. EDIT: I think part of why Jeter was idolized for that play was because he was bleeding after. Lowell wasn't. Think of the Rowand play. Do you think we would have seen that play 10000 times in a week if he would have run into a padded wall, gotten up, and jogged off the field? Probably not. It was still a good play but the blood made it look more spectacular. Same goes for Jeter's play.

    I've been thinking this for a while. Had my doubts when the Sox were down 10 games but the thought never left my mind. Kenny Williams made a good point on PTI on Friday (I think it was Friday). He said something along the lines of "we almost blew a 15 game lead last year so we know no lead is safe."

    Bump. To update, ARam's OPS is currently at .879 and rising.
  11. soccer10k
    Coming into the game he had a .879 OPS.

    ARAM!!!

    Sorry Bob, you're wrong. The reason Holliday can do that is because he knows Pierre has no arm whatsoever.

    Slappy is rubbing off on Cesar already.

    Hey, it's only a 270 ERA for the game...could be worse :D Before the game, his ERA was 4.65 and his WHIP was a 1.39. His WHIP is now 1.60.

    Surprise! Surprise! Murton's starting today! Jones is hitting 3rd though for some odd reason. This lineup is a real head-scratcher. Look at these guys' production over the last 10 games......... 08/03 - 08/12 AB R H 2B 3B HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS Marmol 4 0 2 1 0 0 3 0 0 0 0.500 0.500 0.750 1.250 The only solution is to bat him fourth.

    Izturis, Perez and Mabry in the lineup. Dare I even watch this game?

    Zeppelin.

    I'm not upset that the Beatles defeated Zeppelin so that doesn't have an affect on me. Beatles it is.

    If MLB had real testing I wouldn't have wrote that. Wait, some guy in Brazil just tested positive and will be suspended for 50 games. The raid involving Grimsley opened everybody's eyes to the fact that pitchers likely take roids/HGH just as much as position players do. So it's not out of the realm of possibility that Prior did take steriods, growth hormone, or something along those lines. Fact is, we just don't know. doesn't house encourage his students to use andro or other near steroids? I don't really understand what you're trying to say here. Please clarify.

    Watch your language. Using an asterisk in place of the letter is considered the same as using the word. And everybody, enough with the back-and-forth insults. Commenting about someone's IQ, telling a poster to stick it with their smileys, etc. is uncalled for. Everybody's entitled to their opinion, and to disagree with others' opinions, but you do need to be civil when disagreeing. I think jjgman21 and I were able to come to a peaceful solution to our argument even though it got fairly heated. Your comments are well received and will be remembered but I would like to thank the mods (assuming some of you were watching the argument) for giving the two of us some leeway and allowing us to settle the argument on our own.

    I definately didn't like it when he said "horses" either but didn't mind the injury part too much. Not great, but not horrible. well, len isn't wrong for pointing out that it isn't really fair to expect the cubs to do amazing when lee, wood, and prior all go down with injuries. the big problem is that, assuming those 3 are healthy, the cubs still aren't that good, and still have a horrible organizational philosophy when it comes to acquiring new players. It was more that he used the word "horses" and the fact that it's Dusty's word than what Len meant by using it.

    I took it as you trying to say that because I was a Raiders fan that I had no right to comment on the Bears and Brian Griese. no, I'm an unpopular, argumentative poster, but I don't play that game. I can't stand it when posters tell each other they should not comment on something...with a couple exceptions (ie. demonstrations of hypocrisy or old worn out comments about 'can't walk across home plate.') sorry you took it that way. not how I meant it. Fair enough.
