    the cubs don't have a decent ph, and even one of them should miraculously reach, pierre ain't going to bunt-homerun them home anyway. Z is on the bench.

    It is dumping in Chicago right now.

    The Cubs are easily a 90 loss team which is very bad. They finished 34-54 in the first half which is a .386 winning percentage. To avoid finished with 90 losses (i.e. 73-89) the Cubs would need to finish the year 39-35 which is a .527 winning percentage which would obviously be a significant improvement over the first half of the year. So even with that huge improvement the Cubs would still finish the year 16 games under .500. This team is bad and only an A's like streak will get them to .500 for the year. BTW, I don't mind the optimism Scott because it provides a debate for the board.

    Maybe somebody will spit on him as he is leaving the park. "Nice game, pretty boy!" "That is one magic loogie" :lol: "I'm Keith Hernandez" Hilarious episode, well, technically episodes since it was a 2 parter.

    Len and Bob have been talking about OBP a decent amount this year. They also show OBP as one of the stats for each hitter on WGN along with BA, HR, and RBI if my memory serves me correctly.

  7. soccer10k
    Actually it would be August 5. :)

    NOBODY CARES, AGAIN!! It's different if you live in Chicago. Oh that's right, I wouldn't want to get hasseled by those White Sox fans all the time.

    I'm not sure I'd trade Aramis for Abreu straight up, let alone throwing in Marshall, Jones, and cash. Abreu is 32, has seemingly lost his power stroke (8 homers this season), and has probably peaked. Aramis is 28 and probably has not yet peaked and plays a position that I think is more difficult to replace (I don't think Koskie is a good option there). It would have to be an EXTREMELY good deal for me to want the Cubs to trade ARam. Also, we would me better off trying to land ARod with the Jones-ARam-Marshall combination. Wouldn't be a horrible deal from the Yankees perspective as they would get a productive 3B, an OF, and a starter. Not that it will happen though.

    4 AB's in 17 games in his first stint. I doubt Theriot is not going to play much this time either.
  11. soccer10k
    Yeah, I can't see them meeting much competition. Metallica is taking somebody out.
  12. soccer10k
    Pink Floyd easily.
  13. soccer10k
    Or get traded somewhere with a better team I don't think Hendry trades Jacque. If he plays well, Hendry will think he made the right move offering a three-year deal. Now, the better Maddux pitches, the easier it will be to move him. Agreed. I only see Hendry trading players whose contracts are up at the end of the year (Maddux, Pierre, Walker) rather than somebody he just signed as a free agent in the offseason (Jones).
  14. soccer10k
    Wow. Floyd was stealing and Maddux still threw him out at second to start the double play.
  15. soccer10k
    Jacque!. I called it before the ASB (not sure which thread) but I'll say it again. We're taking 2 of 3 from the Mets.
  16. soccer10k
    You're right. Now a choice: listen to Steve Stone on ESPN or Len and Bob on CSN.
  17. soccer10k
    Good to hear Steve Stone announcing today.
  18. soccer10k
    Why don't we just shut Prior down for the rest of the year so he can take as long as he wants to recover and let Hill start for the remainder of the year. Even if he gets shelled, just let him pitch for the rest of the year. Either he works his way though it and garners consideration for a starting spot next year, or he hit hard and we narrow down our potential options for starters next year. Either way, it gives the Cubs something to bank on.
  19. soccer10k
    Can football start already?
  20. soccer10k
    Agreed. As I was reading along, I started to look up stats and was about to post but then read what O_O said and realized that my idea was basically what he said. And he probably stated it better than I would have.
  21. soccer10k
    Tell me you made that up. Tell me he did not say that. Word for word. Kill me. Oh my lord. *Opens bottle of Jack Daniels and takes HUGE swig*

    It matters in the first two rounds, which is where all of the best talent is always concentrated. You still have to scout guys, but the odds of finding a future All Star are the greatest in those two rounds. The higher you are, the larger the pool you have to pick from. After that, matters become much more reliant on the scouting department. Obviously having a top pick will help you a bit, but a top 5 pick in baseball doesn't mean anywhere near as much as having a top 5 pick in basketball or football.

    Houston didn't play any of the other three 2005 AL playoff teams (NYY, BOS, LAA) so how do you know if the Astros are second best? The Red Sox and Angels also lost to the White Sox in the postseason and it is impossible to determine if the Astros were better than either of those two if the Astros didn't play either of them. I'm not saying that the Astros weren't the second best team just that it's impossible to determine if they were.

    I will be.
