  1. Really? With the way Z is pitching, it can definitely win this game and probably will. With his pitch limit, he'll only go 6, if that.
  2. In that Alf commercial, did he just say he's so excited, he could squirt? Did I hear that correctly?
  3. The Jays one is awful, but I don't see anything wrong with the Marlins cap This It's atrocious. The Jays one actually is kind of cool..... if you like Canada.
  4. So I was just checking out OH and some guy thought they could get John Danks, Alexei Ramirez, and a third prospect for Brian Roberts.
  5. I like the Cubs one but some of the other ones are terrible.
  6. I don't know, he looks much less intimidating with the knee socks. His legs look skinny as hell
  7. I can't wait to hear Steve call a slider 42 times during each broadcast.
  8. More about it here- http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/news/gameday_recap.jsp?ymd=20080703&content_id=3058155&vkey=recap&fext=.jsp&c_id=chc So dumb.
  9. Solomon Torres closing games isn't going to get you in the playoffs. Why? He's having a great season and the closer role is such a joke. How can you say it's a joke? Most teams in the postseason have brilliant closers. For instance, the playoffs last year. Yankees have Rivera. Red Sox have Papelbon. Rockies had Corpas. Arizona had Valverde. Angels had K-Rod. You could always say the Indians had Borowski, and the Cubs had Dempster, but go ahead and tell me how the closer position is a joke. First of all, I'm not sure why you're calling Corpas a "brilliant closer". Second, I'm not sure why you're just shrugging off Dempster and Borowski when they are perfect example of why your statement was false. Torres is having a much better season than either of those guys had last season, yet suddenly th Brewers have no chance of making the playoffs because Torres is closing. Anyways, I don't know why you're talking as though Torres is terrible. He's having a good season.
  10. "The future" and "ending the drought" go hand in hand.

  12. He threw a pretty good slider that just missed for ball 1, threw a bad slider was outside for ball 2, then had to come in with a fastball and got it up. I don't think anything is physically wrong with him. Guys are just laying off the slider and sitting on his fastball.
