    Uhh, he works for the White Sox now. They worry more about our team than we do.

    Soriano is a better defender than Bradley and a MUCH better defender than Dunn

    I have to say Nyjer Morgan is. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=lf&stats=bat&lg=nl&qual=y&type=6&season=2009&month=0 He's been worth 13 million dollars this year but most statheads think because he's a slightly below average hitter that tells the whole story on his abilities and that he sucks. But he's saved 19 runs on defense so that more than makes up for his crappy hitting and all around makes him a great player to have on your team. BTW the average stathead loves Adam Dunn and some actually think an awful national team was right for paying him 10 mil a year, but Nyjer Morgan has been worth almost 3 times as much as Dunn because Dunn is unbelievably retardedly bad on defense. The problem is most baseball statheads don't take into account the fact that a players defense has a lot to do with his value. Adam Dunn on pace to be worth $7.1 mil , salary $8 mil Nyjer Morgan on pace to be worth $22 mil, salary $411K In conclusion Nyjer Morgan is massively underrated by the people who think they know more than the average person about baseball because they look at a player's OPS and nothing else, while Adam Dunn is massively overrated by those same people.

    Haven't seen that. Sorry that you can't see that the trade opened up an outfield spot. So would murdering Chris Duncan in cold blood, but I probably wouldn't tie that to an Adam Dunn acquisition. Though Marty Brennaman would be suspicious no doubt. hahahah awesome, ssr

    This one is really funny now

    Walk years boosts are a myth. Milton Bradley disagrees. But yeah I agree, they're a myth. "Teach me, Milton!" - Rich Harden Count me in on the "Meh" for Freddy Sanchez boat. I'm not completely opposed to getting him, I just don't think he's what the team needs to be put over the top. Personally, I'd like to see them go after Figgins. Sure his defense at 2B would be worse than Sanchez, but he's drawn 30 more walks than Sanchez this year and that .380+ OBP would look mighty nice near the top of our lineup. Not to mention he could spell Aramis and Milton in a pinch if he had to. That being said,m I don't think Figgins is going to put us over the top either, but I think he'd be more beneficial to the team than Freddy Sanchez would. I couldn't really disagree more about Figgins

    He always seems hungover. I don't think he's with it at all, be it because of senility or all the Fleishman's from the night before.

    The Nats hadn't been swept at home in 2 months, with serieses against the Braves, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Reds, Mets, Giants, and Orioles in that span. Good teams get good records by beating the crap out of the awful ones. Winning 1 out of 3 at Philadelphia is what should have been expected. Philly is one of the top teams in the NL, if you're winning serieses on the road against the best teams in your league then you are the best team in the league. Tonight [expletive] blew, but to say oh look the Cubs are awful cause they can only beat [expletive] teams...I wasn't aware Philly's been steamrolling the Dodgers every night. Idiots make these arguments every [expletive] year, "oh yeah we can beat up on the Pirates, come back to me when we sweep an 11 game series in Yankee Stadium!!" Hey man, the plural of series is...series

    Well, since Gordon Wittenmeyer says so, this is an absolute certainty.
  10. javy knows my name
    No. Maybe if they pick up Shea Hillenbrand. My God. They'd be unstoppable. Don't you mean "My Shea?"

    No package with Wells or Rios as earlier reported? There's got to be more to that deal, I can't believe the muts turned that down straight up. As much as people hate Hendry here, I am very glad we don't have Omar Minaya. On a similar tangent, Steve Phillips was on Baseball Tonight Sunday night talking about the Mets trading for Halladay. He mentioned that the Mets have been risk-averse to trading high-end talent for pitching because of the Kazmir/Zambrano debacle. However, he made no allusion to the fact that he was the guy who made that deal. Dolt. SSR already said it, but there's a really, really good reason for that.

    Ok, why is this the biggest major? I'm speaking from shameless ignorance here. It seems to me like the "biggest major of the year" is always the one that finished most recently. The birth place of golf, links style golf, very old courses. Kind of like why Wimbledon is the biggest major in tennis. Just a since of history every year this time, kind of like going to Wrigley or Fenway. Well I knew St Andrews was that, but I didn't know the whole slew of British Open courses were similarly prestigious. If I were to guess, I would have said the Masters was the big kahuna of the majors. The Masters is the biggest to the casual American fan. The golf snobs prefer the british open due to the history and tradition. Its similar to how you and me prefer bud light but the beer snobs need belgish fancy [expletive]. Woah, speak for yourself there, redneck. I'm in the other camp and proud of it.

    Is "clarify" the word you were searching for? That sentence confused me. No. Qualify is the appropriate word there. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/qualification After following your link I guess I see what you mean. I still think that's an interesting use of the word. At best. Not to be a grammar nazi or anything. I just do alot of thinking. It's really funny that you "corrected" this because you didn't know the correct grammatical usage of this word. Then you used "alot." Nope, you're no grammar nazi.
