    i actually believe him when he says he's done after this contract. he's been talking about that for a long time now.

    i thought "nugget" meant finding a mediocre or relatively little-known player and then having him blossom on your team. lilly career before signing with cubs- 4.60 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 2.09 K/BB lilly since signing with the cubs- 3.67, 1.13 WHIP, 3.34 K/BB he did benefit from getting out of the AL east, but still. nobody expected him to become as good as he was during his time with the cubs. really, hendry should get more credit for lilly than KW gets for danks. lilly was a journeyman bacn of the rotation pitcher before the cubs and was already 30 when he signed here. john danks was a one-time top prospect and a well known name before the white sox traded for him. it shouldn't be a surprise that danks ended up being good. but lilly suddenly turning into cole hamels lite? that was highly unexpected.

    It's sad that the highlight of the Cubs season was putting the dagger into the Cards

    He's right. They obviously don't need a good Jeter in order to make the playoffs. When people talk about Jeter's season they aren't usually talking about how it's impacted the Yankees. They're just talking about how much he's sucked this year

    http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/09/cubs-ramirez-still-undecided-about-escape-clause.html Seriously? Mr. "I didn't show up for most of the season but now I'm hitting so it's cool." I'm not one to say that a player owes a team anything. However, after this year, I will actively root against Ramirez if he opts out using that excuse. He certainly didn't have a problem with the players on the team when he signed his big contract in 06. You mean when he took less so he could stay with the Cubs?

    the only way jaime garcia qualifies for "big 3" status is if you look at ERA and nothing else

    Halladay- 2.27 ERA, 190/26 K/BB, 1.04 WHIP, 7.99 K/9 Hamels- 3.18 ERA, 183/53 K/BB, 1.18 WHIP 9.1 K/9 Oswalt- 3.01 ERA, 161/49 K/BB, 1.08 WHIP, 8.2 K/9 What was the last 1-2-3 as good as this?

    it's ignorant to dismiss what he's done this year, but it's also ignorant to ignore that coors has definitely helped his numbers. even your example of holliday shows that. holliday has OPSs of .973, 1.012, and .947 in his last 3 seasons with colorado. since leaving, he's gone down to .909 and .900 gonzalez has definitely been very good this season, but he's also definitely gotten a boost in his numbers from coors.

    It was the FOURTH inning and his team was losing. He got himself not only into scoring position, but 90 feet away from home plate. Could have scored on a passed ball, wild pitch, base hit, etc. You can't expect to chip into a lead without scoring runs. yeah, but down so many runs, you don't need guys getting CS, you need runners on base. What if he had gotten thrown out? I guess the notion was more stupid than anything. The glove slam, and both catcher "collisions" definitely are douchey... go back and watch the clips. I'll let the SBs slide. Either way, all of the plays and incidents show Morgan as an idiot if nothing else. the glove slam is no more douchey than what ted lilly did Sure it is. Morgan thought it was more appropriate to slam his glove into the ground rather than think maybe the ball was still in play and thus award an inside the park homer to the O's. The D'Backs hit a homerun whether or not Lilly slammed his glove. ok, so maybe it was more stupid than lilly's. it still wasn't more douchey. it was exactly the same.

    His slugging has improved every year, which tells me that he has started to figure things out, and is better than his career .413 slugging in MLB. His .456 is good for 3rd on the current team among regulars, and would be good enough next year to be in the top 5 on the team. Not only that, but he is one of a few guys on the team over the last 3 years who consistently hits well with men on base. Just because getting on base is a stength, doesn't mean you automatically are providing the best production for your team by hitting in the leadoff spot. I don't think he would be out of place there, but I do "think" he would be more comfortable down in the order and would be more valuable to his team based on his slugging and success with men on base (.842 OPS) and runners in scoring position (.865 OPS). That is terrible terrible terrible reasoning. i don't think it even qualifies as reasoning
