    Ha, Jose Cruz Jr. He cost the Giants game 3 of the 2003 NLDS against Florida because he dropped an easy, routine fly ball. The Marlins ended up getting the game winning hit with two outs (they were down 1) in that inning. Then he hurt them in Game 4 by making a horrible throw late in the game. His bad throw allowed an extra run to score and the Giants ended up losing by 1. Personally, I loved it but Giants fans didn't. Oh, and he was brought in for his defense and arm as well.

    So it appears this is when Keith Richards finally dies.

    I know, man. How long can he keep this up? How many at-bats should we give Pagan the rest of the season? How much should we play him in order to find out what we have? As much as it takes. I just know Jones is going to get his at-bats-so Pagan might get a few starts in RF the rest of the season, but otherwise Pagan and Murton will be fighting for playing time-I know many people have been upset about Pagan playing over Murton in the past. We need to find out what both can provide us. At the very least, one could be trade bait.

    Good thing he was in the minors all year, eh?

    Fixed Fecal League Standings ---------------------------------- Team L W PCT GB Kansas City 71 38 .651 - Pittsburgh 68 42 .618 3.5 Tampa Bay 65 45 .591 6.5 Chicago 64 45 .587 7.0 Mine was correct because when the teams get a better record than the Cubs (i.e. if TB wins and the Cubs lose today) they move up and get contracted.

    Speaking of that Farnsworth fight, anybody remember this? Ha. Yeah, I remember that one. Good stuff.

    Urlacher didn't hit Benson very hard and it could be that he just hit him in the wrong place. Sometimes those things just happen. And Mike Brown didn't really even hit Benson.

    Speed. Defense comes next week. So bunting must be the following week then?

    My dad (Dodgers fan and Bonds hater) loves that play and remembers it like it was yesterday. Bonds couldn't throw out Bream and his two horrible legs. Everybody talks about Bonds' great arm (not true) but he couldn't throw out a guy who was slower than most of the catchers in the league. Purely awesome. EDIT: And wouldn't Francisco Cabrera be the Bill Mazeroski of our generation because he got the hit to drive in Bream?

    that sounds like something joe morgan would say. Hey, hey, hey. Completely unnecessary. I answered the question. Could Barrett win the batting title? Yes, he could. It is possible. Do I think he will? No. And for the record, Joe Morgan would say he hasn't seen Barrett play enough to know if he could win the batting title.

    Weaver isn't going to make enough starts for the Cy considering Liriano should make a few more and Verlander will make many more starts than Weaver. Papelbon will likely pitch the whole year as well. IMO Weaver could win the ROY but has no chance at the Cy. I don't think he will win either though.

    Seeing we are playing Pittsburgh I figure I'll post the updated Fecal League Standings. Fecal League Standings -------------------------------- Team W L PCT GB Chicago 45 64 .413 - Tampa Bay 45 65 .409 0.5 Pittsburgh 42 68 .382 3.5 Kansas City 38 71 .349 7.0

    I'm probably going to watch this game even though I know I'm going to be let down and disappointed by Prior's performance.
  21. soccer10k
    42 all.

    ESPN.com story The only good thing for the Angels is that Colon has made just 10 starts this year and is 1-5 with a 5.11 ERA in those starts so he hasn't been a big part of their season this year. Even still, this won't help their chances to make the playoffs.

    Isn't Thomas Jones injured as well right now? If so, when is he supposed to return?

    Not me. Michigan the week AFTER Penn State is going to be very, very tough. Then we have to hope we don't have a let down the next week @Michigan State. If we get through the first four weeks unscathed, though, we're going to the championship game. Purdue-Stanford-UCLA-Navy-North Carolina-Air Force-Army are all blow outs waiting to happen. If we're undefeated going into USC, anything but a thrashing puts us in the title game. I'm assuming you mean anything but a thrashing of Notre Dame by USC. If so, that isn't the case. West Virginia could easily go undefeated as could the winner of the Ohio State-Texas game. With Bomar being done at OU, Texas will be the clear favorite in every other game and, with playing OSU at home, should be the favorite in that game as well. OSU will be the clear favorite in every game but the Texas game. As like last year, the winner of that game will emerge as a clear National Title contender. That being said, if Notre Dame runs the table, they will be in the title game. But if they barely lose to USC, it's far from a sure bet that they play for the National Title.

    But don't our guys have to clear waivers too or at least have no team worse than Atlanta claim them in order to trade with the Braves? It's hard for me to believe someone not claiming a Pie or Marshall, etc... I thought minor leaguers didn't have to clear. I might be wrong. You are probably right about Marshall though. I guess Mateo is a major leaguer now too, so you're right, my proposal won't work. I think it's just players on the 40 man roster that have to clear whether they are in the majors or not.
