    Sorry you don't like defensive metrics. and i'm sorry that you think they actually mean something Seriously? You really think that they mean nothing? I'll agree that they're not perfect by any means, but to say they're meaningless seems awfully ignorant. i think they mean very little, yeah. sorry that i don't buy into a stat that is all over the place from year to year and has ryan theriot has an above average defensive shortstop this season. i guess his awful range actually works to his benefit somehow. kudos to uzr for picking that up. the funny part is that im sure rasmus is a fine center fielder. the problem is that uzr doesn't tell you that. oh well, i guess im just ignorant because i don't buy into a garbage stat that is beyond flawed *runs over to cardinals board to post ryan theriot's uzr*

    boozer is a free agent after next season too, so they'd wouldnt be able to sign him and another big name.

    I wonder if we could send them some relievers for Barmes if they land Sanchez. why do you have such a hard on for barmes? -we need a middle infielder who can hit. -we dont have a lot of money to spend -Brames is a middle infielder who can hit. -Barmes makes 1.6 mil for the season, which is halfway over Barmes has terrible career numbers and has only been good for about his last 700 at-bats. His non-Coors numbers during those "good" 700 at-bats: 2008- .249/.281/.363 (.643) 2009- .266/.308/.418 (.725) career overall- .266/.305/.418 (723) i wouldn't be interested unless we got him for like a ptbnl later, which won't be the case. pass.

    seriously, just put this dude on the dl. it's obviously his knee is effecting him, he's been trash for like 2 months, and fox is raking. there's absolutely no reason NOT to DL him. unless of course you don't want his knee to heal and you want to see a .700 ops in thel ineup over like a .900+ ops.

    at least the 2004 team was good. they were frustrating as hell and unlikable, but they won 89 games in a pretty badass division. this year's team is just ridiculously boring.this is the least interested i've been in a cubs team since the early 2000's.

    yahoo is claiming that a bulls source has said they've had no talks with the jazz and that the rumor is false. i don't really buy that though. also the original rumoro n realgm said it would be kirk, tyrus, and a future first rounder for boozer. that's a little too much. kirk and tyrus should be able to get it done. let's keep in mind that boozer's injury history edit: sam smith also just tweeted this

    2009: $5 million, 2010: $9 million, 2011: $12 million. Is he worth keeping with all those jumps in pay? I suppose one could say Hendry is a fool for spreading the money like that, but that's another story. this isn't the nfl. mlb contracts are guaranteed. if we cut him we'd still have to pay that.

    uzr strikes again
  12. 17 Seconds
    you act like soriano is regularly under .300 or something. he is awful right now, but i dont think anybody here thinks he should still be leading off right now.
  13. 17 Seconds
    that was an effective post until you used uzr
  14. 17 Seconds
    Only one of those players has more PS at bats than Soriano, and that's Dimaggio. I wouldn't consider anything under 100 AB in the post season an indicator. The rest: 64 AB, .314 OBP for Cobb 129 AB, .320 OBP for Mcgwire 47 AB, .317 OBP for Helton 140 AB, .304 OBP for Schmidt 106 AB .354 OBP for Bagwell 167 AB .297 OBP for Biggio 120 AB .301 OBP Piazza 68 AB, .315 OBP for Cabrera 174 AB, .263 OBP Soriano Why is 100 ABs the magical cutoff point? Because that's what makes his argument look better

    I love losing 2-1 games with our 2 best pinch hitters never getting in the game. Good job Lou

    see this is what i'm talking about. ryan braun has this magic ability to spark long winning streaks by simply forming sentences, but he only chooses to do it when it's convenient for him what a jerk
  17. 17 Seconds
    then why doesn't everybody hate fielder too? braun gets a lot of crap because he is extremely cocky and acts like an a-hole. he's earned his d-bag title.

    i forgot about that stupid rule. but if they just put adam dunn in over pence like they should have, that wouldn't have been an issue. god the NL roster is botched in so many ways

    wells has been dominant for like a third of a full season now though

    Having worked years ago at a downtown Chicago hotel bar where a number of teams stayed, she doesn't even look like she'd get a first glance at being "road beef". But then again I wouldn't call her a slump buster. You can't even imagine how gorgeous some of the jersey chasers are that I saw come through the place. Yeah, I know. This woman was obviously fatal attraction to the nth degree. I wonder if McNair even saw it coming. She's DUIing all over town, has a gun -- sheesh. If you're going to dump your wife, at least find a sane woman and then break it off officially. Don't tool around with a psycho. well, choosing a girl that was only a little over half his age was the first mistake. seriously, 20 years old? good call man, good call. what a legacy youve left behind now

    So much for going out on top
  24. 17 Seconds
    I bet the pitching staff didn't appreciate Braun calling them out either. It was just a dick move all around.

    Theriot could have grounded into a double play, too. Maybe the bunt gave the Cubs a run. the odds of theriot getting on base are much much higher than him gidp
