You're crazy. England is incapable of winning a shootout. :P Care to make your predictions then?
-
You mean the Cubs aren't the only team that does this?
-
Actually one of the better lineups Baker has fielded considering the circumstances. Obviously I don't want 4-3 at the top of the order but I don't see the word "Perez" in there.

Which White Sox players will make the All Star squad?
soccer10k replied to RonnieWooWooSanto's topic in General Baseball Talk
.392 right now. But yes, it would be a travesty if Mauer didn't make it. -
Didn't someone once post a link to a lineup simulator that estimated runs scored based on a given lineup? We might even be able to prove it. A statement like "because he's more productive," when stated by itself with nothing else is one of the most useless statements ever to attempt to prove a point. They mean absolutely nothing and frankly, are just stupid. I wasn't agreeing or disagreeing with you Geech, I just wanted to know where the statement came from and if you had anything to back it up. If you do, great post it and prove me wrong. I would like that and would change my view if this was true. I'm glad you find it stupid. It's just fact though. Not opinion. I didn't realize we had to go back and start over with the discussion of what exactly production is. 1. I don't see how the statement "because he's more productive" set by itself is not a fact but an opinion. If you would have backed it up with stats then it becomes less of an opinion and more of a fact. But you didn't. 2. I don't know what you consider to be productive or not so expecting me to know that is stupid. You can't expect me to have read every single thread posted on this board. Sure, you may have stated at some point what you look for in a hitter and what a hitter must do for him to be productive in your eyes. But I don't necessarily think that and for you to assume I do is wrong. 3. I wasn't trying to be argumentative. Geech said that if you put both Abreu and CLee in the same lineup that Abreu would be more productive. As I stated, I wasn't agreeing or disagreeing, I just wanted to know the basis of this statement, which Geech provided. Your input in this conversation was completely useless and unnecessary based what you contributed. EDIT: Changed the bold from CLee to Abreu because I typed the wrong name.

2007 Rotation
soccer10k replied to WrigleyField 22's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
It's Hendry's responsibility to make sure they ARE in a position to win next year. It's unreasonable for him to expect fans to be patient for two or three more years after he allowed what looked like a perennial contender to deteriorate. He created the problem; it's up to him to fix it right away. Any moves made need to be with the idea of winning next year, not in two or three (or even longer) years, and if they don't win next year he needs to be held accountable, contract extension notwithstanding. Agreed. Teams have done the worst to first thing before. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's possible. And even if the team can't do that, they should try to be competative in 2007. If you are competative then there is a chance that your team catches fire and grabs a playoff spot. -
2007 Rotation
soccer10k replied to WrigleyField 22's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
That is the first time I've heard this as the reasoning for his attrocious season thus far. So, since DLee is back Pierre should start putting up some astronomical numbers. I just don't see it. Not "ASTRONOMICAL" numbers. But very good #'s. Just watch it happen. I hope you're right. I don't think it will happen but I hope it does. -
He *is* more productive. Carlos Lee has a .301 EQA so far in 2006 and a .280 career while Bobby Abreu has a .320 and .314 respectively. You'll have to inform me as to what EQA is. And for my own future reference, what site did you get it off of?

If every other position was the same, a lineup that featured Bobby Abreu would score more runs than one with Carlos Lee no matter where you hit them. How do you know this?

Barret Makes Pitch for C Lee
soccer10k replied to fibro's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
From the article. I believe a saw it in the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel not too long ago. Even at 10 -11 million a year, that is a bit high for a guy with a career .284 BA, Sub .340 OBP, and a career OPS of .831. He is not an elite player. He is consistently good, but not a great player. I am not saying I wouldn't want the Cubs to get him. But we wouldn't even pay Moises 9 million a year and he put up comparable numbers to CLee. I would love to have him for about 8 million or so for 3 years. Agreed on the contract and length. I don't want to play him more than $10 mil a year and definately don't want him signed for 5 years. Give him a team option for the fourth year. But not five years. -
Barret Makes Pitch for C Lee

Where do you get 5/75 for $15 mil a year from? From the article. -
Did Washington hire an agent? Not sure about that. Put Gerry McNamara on that list of undrafted FA's as well. McNamara is a poor man's J.J. Redick.
-
I am actually going to get to watch this game - which will most likely end up being a bad thing. I'm excited to finally see Prior pitch.
-
Also true You can combine both of the excellent points. The initial thread post: Remembering what you post on the board is important because other people surely will. This is doubly true for the same thread. I guarantee you will get called out when you flipflop in the same thread.

No team's fans can be more bandwagon than the Florida Marlins in 2003. The Marlins fans didn't show up until September. I realize that they didn't have the best record in the league and the Tigers do, but Detroit in 2003 averaged more fans (17103) than the Marlins in 2003 (16290) even though the Tigers lost 119 games.
-
Every single team has fans that are jerks so that is no reason to dislike a team. You just so happened to run into Tigers fans that were jerks. If you would have ran into friendly Tigers fans I'm guessing you would be singing a completely different tune right now.

Which White Sox players will make the All Star squad?
soccer10k replied to RonnieWooWooSanto's topic in General Baseball Talk
Not as many as should make the ASG because of the requirement that every team have an All-Star and the fact that the starting lineup for the AL will be Yanks, Sox, and Vlad. -
Predictions for the rest of the tournament. Quarterfinals Argentina over Germany 3-2 Italy over Ukraine 2-0 England over Portugal 2-2 (3-1 PSO) Brazil over France 3-1 Semifinals Argentina over Italy 2-1 Brazil over England 3-1 3rd Place Game Italy over England 2-1 Final Brazil over Argentina 3-2 I had to stick with Brazil because that was my pre-World Cup pick. I know I'm not really going out on a limb but I have to stick with my pick.

I actually don't mind Stephen A. that much. There are a ton of other sports personalities that I hate more than Stephen A.
-
Agreed. I liked Smush for most of the year but he flat out stunk in the playoffs this year. He was really exposed by Steve Nash in that series. He'll be good as an off the bench type of guy, but Farmar will hopefully be better as a starter.
-
Can they cut to Isiah and interview him right now? Can we at least see his reaction to that interview? Why didn't they do either of these? Cause that would have been awesome. Not sure if it would be as awesome as the interview with Dolan and Isiah, but it would have been close.

Are you a fellow Lakers fan? Heck no. I hate them. But Jordan's my boy. Who is your team?

Hello Jordan Farmar. Start working on your outside shot immediately. Smush Parker, say hello to the bench. I like this pick.
