I kind of like this. I would like to add that I believe any game a team wins on the road in extras should be a should-have-lost game. I think we have three of those this year, and that would help balance out our should-have-won games
Can somebody give me a recap on what he throws? It's been a long time. I think his fastball touches the mid-90s and he may throw a plus breaking pitch. Thanks.
Your absolutely tight. Cubs dont need a second baseman at all. However, we do need a leadoff hitter, and the most available just happens to be a second baseman, and since our second basemen have been productive, but not irreplaceable, its a good fit. No, we don't
I remember going to a game in the 30's and sitting in those luxury seats. They folded out into a sleeper sofa and came with an automatic awning if it rained. they want to restore it to it's original look? i think they should mandate that every man in attendance where's a wool suit and a bowler hat Hardcore just got way too excited over that
Right. This is just another reason to suspect that this is only a posturing move by the MLBPA to avoid looking negligent in the matter. I see no way this thing goes anywhere.
The Cardinals could start 8 Little Leaguers and Albert Pujols from now on and would still probably play at least .500 ball the rest of the way. As opposed to what they're doing now...?
I miss watching Reynolds and Kruk argue both sides of a completely asinine issue. http://www.firejoemorgan.com/2006/04/i-cant-believe-what-im-watching.html That is precisely the argument I was thinking of. Thanks, Truffle!
I picked cinco de mayo because it was the closest to my actual birthday, the fourth. Although it did suck this year being that it was the weekend before finals and all. Last year was awesome because I was in France and no one gave a damn about finals week.
No. FJM posted a broadcast he did where he was apparently surprised that, on average, more runs scored in an inning resulting from a leadoff walk than a leadoff HR. He claimed this was "unconventional wisdom" I think it was the other way around. He had the whole 'revolving door' idea in his head regarding people getting on base and was surprised to hear that a leadoff homer led to more runs. You're right, thats what I meant. I got confused in my wording about what he believed versus what was actually the truth. The basic idea is the idiotic notion that a homerun kills a rally while a walk ignites it

Yeah, but right now they need someone to give them some solid innings and what if Gallagher imoresses them enought to replace Lieber or Marquis? Woah, it took me too long to figure out what that meant. And short of breaking Orel's scoreless innings streak, I don't think anything Gallagher does impresses enough because he had a bad 11 innings or so last year and Lou is a raving lunatic.
