    watch your mouth.

    upon further review, a great call by the ump, but i wouldn't have blamed him if he called him out.
  3. Magnetic Curses
    he was wayyyyyyyyy out, got a break there.
  4. Magnetic Curses
    Please don't speak of such things. i actually agree that the nl should have the dh. i don't want to watch a pitcher hit.
  5. Magnetic Curses
    it's good to see jacque enjoying himself, and hitting like he did last year.

    Heh, that sounds like we need a regime that'll cane those that displease them. Not that I disagree. hehe, that one didn't even cross my mind. can jim, canning!
  7. Magnetic Curses
    anybody else see the cubs finishing 4th or 5th this season? oh well, at least it will mean the end of hendry. the canning regime can't come soon enough. buy the team already.

    iirc, salazar had a big double against the cards down the stretch in september of that year--back when we were leading them only by a game. i'm not sure why marvell wynn was ever an employee of any major league ballclub, though.

    if the worst case scenario has him putting up a .786 ops during a slump, where do i sign up? Combined with being one of the worst regular OF's in the game? I guess I have higher standards for $14M. I'm not saying I wouldn't want him under any circumstances and he is a pretty good bet to get you around an .850 OPS. However there are things that make me hesitant and I would want them to eat some of that money. If not, I'd rather go with Murton (and Jones if necessary) and allocate that $10-$13M to Z and a possible shot at A-Rod. again, defense is not our problem, our problem is OPS. burrell provides that. i'd take him in a second.

    kendall is looking like his old self at the plate. that's awesome. may be time to move him up in the order--although i like the idea of him hitting in front of pie.

    I hope you're not the Pman from the IlliniBoard, because if so, I just lost respect for you in a huge way. No ballplayer on the entire earth can decide when in the game he gets his hits, and you're also forgetting what has to happen to create the vaunted RISP situation. Here's the answer: someone has to be on base first! Murton's ability to do that makes rallies and RISP situations happen more often. Also, on a team as OBP light as ours, runners on base is a rarity, so our batters do not get as many chances with runners on as others do. Sometimes you don't get the chances even if a great OBP threat is present before you in the lineup. For instance, Murton has hit two bombs in 2 games now. Lee bats ahead of him, with his muscular OBP, but Lee wasn't on base either time he hit them. Even if Matt hits them to start an inning, Lee still made the previous third out to rob Matt of the opportunity to hit with a man on base. So you see, its really the Cubs' responsibility to be on base for any particular hitter to generate RBIs, including Matt Murton. he is the same guy, and while i haven't lost respect for him, i question his theory on that as well. hitting with runners on base isn't a skill, it's an occurrence.

    what about jermaine dye?

    i wish colitis was just a bad case of diarrhea, that would be a breeze compared to what it really is. if bleeding out your bunghole for an indefinite period of time and taking a handful of nasty pills 4 times a day is anyone's idea of a day off, think again. depending upon whether angel has ulcerative colitis or not, this could be an ongoing issue for him. remission times can last anywhere from a day to 25 years--hopefully the latter for him. welcome to the world of IBD.
  15. Magnetic Curses
    cowabunga! how's everyone doing tonight? not too suicidal i hope?
  16. Magnetic Curses
    as a person who was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis last year, i can vouch for this statement. colitis sucks, i wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. you can't eat anything and the meds you have to take have terrible side effects. it's serious, debilitating condition. get well soon, angel.

    Tell me you're joking. what, about rob reiner's prostate? Are you accusing Aaron of cheating? what, is this the grand jury or something? you're the one who brought it up. but am i under oath? i have a very reliable source that claims they supplied aaron with a banned form of karo syrup. this source also admits that mickey mantle was on the same regimen and that that is what really destroyed his liver, not booze. http://keymancollectibles.com/advertising/images/karosy11.gif

    hey, i'm on steroids right now and they only make me feel tired. if barry's taking them and still hitting home runs, he's quite the player to fight through such a medical crisis.

  21. Magnetic Curses
    can we all just be happy that bonds broke the record? can we all be sure that hank aaron wasn't staurating himself with gamma rays before every ballgame? the answer is no. come on, his wrists were as big as rob reiner's prostate for crying out loud, don't tell me that's all natural.

    ooh, did they say anything about me? i couldn't tell, they were too busy laughing at their own unfunny jokes. ah well, that's just what happens when you can't keep from having a public hippie freak-out on this board. they have to go somewhere right? i mean, they aren't just deleted from human history once tim hits that little red button and nukes their entire reason for living, are they? my theory is that they become some sort of slow, unscary romero-esque zombies with a semblance of former personality, obsessed and yet deathly afraid of fireworks. it'd be sweet if there really was like a big red button that Tim pushes to ban someone for life. hey, everyone wave, they're looking right now! :wave: :wave:

    ooh, did they say anything about me? i couldn't tell, they were too busy laughing at their own unfunny jokes. but they were definitely discussing little ole me. apparently, i'm a darling, yay! ah well, that's just what happens when you can't keep from having a public hippie freak-out on this board. they have to go somewhere right? i mean, they aren't just deleted from human history once tim hits that little red button and nukes their entire reason for living, are they? my theory is that they become some sort of slow, unscary romero-esque zombies with a semblance of former personality, obsessed and yet deathly afraid of fireworks.

    i stumbled onto another cubs site and they were talking about us again. vera funny.

    hendry's out of ready-made excuses. the new ownership won't care why he's lost so often, just that he has. the absentee owners of the cubs are about to sell the team to people looking to make an impression on the fans of the cubs.
