    I'd rather Lou not stay anyways.

    exactly. when i read this my only thought was that it was amusing.

    why? because they upgraded from havlat to hossa? because they did the smart thing and DIDN'T overpay for khabi? if this was like the cubs offseason, they would have overpaid for havlat and khabi, and then traded duncan keith for a role player

    a) we aren't hearing the whole story b) i don't even care. i already know that most professional athletes are a-holes c) i don't see how this has been a "disastrous" offseason.

    Wait, 6 baserunners, 2 runs, and only one strikeout in 4 innings is "doing well"? Really? A WHIP of 1.50 is "doing well"? All he did was get 12 outs in a loss. That's it. Any major league pitcher could have done that. I'm not going to congratulate him for going out to pitch when his manager told him to. That's his job. If he actually does it well, THEN I'll give him credit. And I wasn't even the one who made the "completely burned the bullpen comment". I was just pointing out that your whole argument was breaking down the pitchers used in the game and how they all sucked, but you conveniently left out Marshall, who is a good pitcher who was used. I don't see how pointing out the biggest factor in that game is "being tedious". Actually, what's "tedious" is the fact that you're so hung up on the word "completely" in his post. His point was that it burned the bullpen, which it did. Whether you want to admit it or not, extra innings pitched by ANY of your relievers at this point of the season are unwanted. Just because Heilman sucks doesn't mean his future performance is irrelevant.

    I'd rather be rooting for Colorado to win to help the Cubs win the division. let's say that when the cards play the rockies the cubs are 4 games back of st louis for the division, but tied with colorado for the wild card. you'd still root for colorado? if it would help the cubs get into the playoffs, of course i'd root for the cards. my love for the cubs will always trump my dislike for the cards. oh, i thought your post meant that you'd rather root for the rockies no matter what the deficit to the cardinals was.

    In my scenario, I also failed to mention whether the run scored or not. I'm just like a predator toying with his prey at this point. More mind games forthcoming. okay, if the run didn't score... that still means the run that takes the other team from 5 runs away from slam range to 4 runs away from slam range just got moved 90 feet closer to home, thanks to the clutchness of aramis! he basically is insuring victory all by himself

    If he hits a single with a runner on second in a 9-1 game in the 4th inning...is that clutch? hell yeah it is. then we're only 3 runs from slam range HA! I never said the Cubs were losing in this situation. You've fallen right into my trap! well if they're winning, that run puts the other team 5 runs away from slam range instead of 4. clutch man, clutch

    aramis has good risp numbers every year. in the regular season, at least.

    Believe me, it's tedious. The fact is, folks should be praising Samardzija for saving the bullpen on Friday. Only because he ate 4 innings were the other 5 guys spared overuse. But he's one of the board's favorite whipping boys, so of course that credit isn't coming. signing bonus, ntc, gets shelled every time out... and you want me to praise him for pitching 4 innings in relief? it doesn't surprise me that you seemingly share the same man crushes as jim though, considering you're the biggest jim hendry apologist on the site.

    he was wasted though. he said he doesn't even remember if he asked for it. it was probably one of those things where he was like "well i'm already wasted, i might as well enjoy this single relapse as much as possible and do some blow"

    So Beckham has to wait five years before he can be considered better than Ramirez? He has to prove himself to be the hitter Ramirez is. It might not take 5 years, but it certainly takes a lot longer than the service time he has so far.

    it's not really tedious. he's one of our best relievers and he racked up a lot of pitches. plus, you can't just shrug off the crappy relievers being used. even though they suck, they might suck a little more if they aren't fresh. we may have needed to count on one of those guys to pitch a scoreless inning and maybe they aren't as fresh. every extra inning ANY of your relievers have to throw in the late parts of the season are relevant. this is when guys start wearing down and need all the rest they can get.

    i didn't make an argument. i was just pointing out how you conveniently left the most relevant reliever of the night out of your argument.

    Disney on Ice Well that's ridiculous. We've had that ever since I can remember. I know about the circus trip but I don't remember this

    He ruins my evening too often. Throw out all the other stats. Ruining my evening trumps all that. every closer is going to "ruin your evening" multiple times in a season.

    wait... is it really samardzija vs cliff lee? oh awesome actually, that's probably for the best. might as well make them waste lee on a game we're going to lose anyways

    np, you've earned it

    you're so clever and awesome. i wish one day i could develop a defense mechanism as clever and original as the one you came up with. it's really very witty and clever

    He/she is saying we might have to root for the Cardinals to beat other wild card contenders so we can win the WC. Her post didn't make sense though, considering the Cards don't even play the Giants anymore this season. They do play Colorado in late September though, and we may be rooting for them in that series.

    i dont understand where this delusion you have of me wanting hamilton to fail is coming from you're talking gibberish and basically making things up. i think it's pretty hilarious to hear you say things like this though, considering you repeatedly make fun of people after they die. now suddenly you're taking some kind of moral stand (and one that is completely baseless and unfounded, to boot)
