    Z. Sunday.

    CUBS WIN!!! Take that Tony LaRussa. Hopefully Z goes after Pujols on Sunday. I'm thinking, after Z hits his second home run of the game, he'll tackle Pujols and beat him down after rounding first base.

    Yeah, pretty much. To put it another way. If LaRussa and Guillen were placed in a cage and forced to fight to the death, who would you want to come out alive?
  4. soccer10k
    Come on Todd. Let's pad this lead.

    Neither manager has gained much favor on the north side of Chicago and both like to retaliate for beanings, but at least Ozzie is straightforward about it. He may not be going about it the right way by making it public and saying he is going to instruct his pitchers to bean somebody, but at least he doesn't lie about it. LaRussa trys to make excuses and says that he only retaliates if his player is beaned intentionally. So take your pick, who do you dislike more. NOTE: This isn't a who would you rather have/not have as a manager poll.

    Sit down Spiezio. Go cry on Tony's shoulder.

    The Cubs should turn off the hot water in the visitor's showers for the rest of the weekend.

    I hate you Tony LaRussa.

    Nice pitching Scotty.

    Wasn't it the first series against the Cardinals in the beginning of the year with Barrett's heroics that Pujols was 1 for the series? IIRC, Miller and Morgan made a big deal about Pujols being hitless in the first two games of the series.

    Nice pitch Roberto.

    You gotta do what you gotta do.

    Thank you Pedro.

    That always seems to happen to me as well. I'll rip a guy and say he's a horrible player and then he comes through immediately following my statement.

    Since I hate Bonds and the Giants, the A's are my "hometown" team. They let their good players go and still manage to contend every year. And I started this thread because of the Rangers and Angels threads.

    Maybe I'm dumb (OK, I am dumb!) but how do you build a temporary stadium???? I mean, is it inflatable, or made out of balsa wood or what???? Erecter sets Don't forget about lincoln Logs and legos

    Did the Cards RF fall down?

    Unless you stop to remember that Ronny has a whopping 422 major league at bats to Neifi's 4955. Neifi has been proving for over a decade now how horrible of an offensive player he is. Judging by the last 2-3 years, Ronny is still improving. Furthermore, stories of Neifi's defense are greatly exaggerated. I really don't want to hijack this thread, but did anyone hear Joe Morgan last night say that Neifi Perez was once one of the best shortstops in baseball? The cubs/cards game was on 3 stations last night but I couldn't turn off Berman and Morgan. They are so bad at what they do that I'm just drawn to them. It's very entertaining. I heard it as well. Morgan said he was one of the best shortstops in the NL in 1999/2000 when he was with Colorado and that what killed his career was going to Kansas City.
  20. soccer10k
    Wow, the Cubs are winning. That's pleasantly surprising. I think I'll watch the rest of this one.
  21. soccer10k
    I sure hope so. The "New Song": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieHXwXhOZCQ&mode=related&search=new%20metallica%20song Definately a step in the right direction. I like it. Not as good as the old stuff, but better than recent efforts.

    I agree with sulley - I think people got the wrong idea about Abreu after he mashed in the HR derby last year. He's never hit more than 31 HR's for a season (2001). And he hit only 20 HR's in both 2002 and 2003 -- despite playing in all but five games over those two seasons. But the guy hits doubles like there's no tomorrow. Please, Mr Hendry, figure out a way to trade for him before the Cardinals do. (I get a kick out of the fact that his middle name is Kelly: Bob Kelly Abreu.) just because he didn't hit as many HRs earlier in his career as many may think doesn't mean his power isn't rapidly declining. he was a 25-30 HR guy, that is true. but he hit only 6 post all-star game last year and only 8 through 2/3 of the season this year. yes, he's always been a doubles machine, but he's on pace to hit about 25 percent fewer doubles this year than his career average. all while playing his home games in one of the most homer friendly parks in baseball. I mean what is so hard to understand here? career 507 99 549 00 554 01 543 02 521 03 468 04 544 (moved to Citizens Bank from the Vet) 05 474 (526 first half, 411 second half) 06 438 the only argument that his power isn't rapidly declining is that it is steadily declining. You hit it right on the head.

    I sure hope so.

    Metallica easily.

    Good deal by the Brewers to get something for Carlos Lee. Not sure why the Rangers wanted more offense though.
