  1. Admittedly, the post could have used less capital letters. fewer, dingus
  2. sveum out-managing brenly. why walk molina when you can make him awkwardly injure himself on the first pitch?
  3. [picture]aceventureYUMMYgif.com[/pic]
  4. i've always been really big on the idea of trying to build a stadium with a big enough left field and small enough center field that it would be optimal to put your best fielder in left.
  5. Except Jackson isn't the Cubs' top prospect, nor has anyone denied that the strikeouts are a huge concern. Kyle, as he is wont to do, made a few rash and hyperbolic remarks earlier, which got everyone's goat. But things aren't looking too bright for BJax, I'm afraid. Unless there is some heretofore unnoticed mechanical flaw can be found, I'm not optimistic. agreed completely.
  6. Rizzo cut his rate 14% from last year i don't believe that's correct, everyone knows that once you hit 60 PA your numbers normalize and you can make permanent judgments about players
  7. the latter is very much how i feel about all the post-season awards. if you're looking to trade the guy, they're great, but if you want to keep him, they probably only make him marginally more expensive.
  8. Jeez. Man up and realize that that franchise ain't even on our level and thinks about it every single day, (and let our lil homies ride on em). They're all LOOK AT ME because they're the neglected red-headed step child. how are they not on our level? i guess if the only way we evaluate levels is by tickets sold or team value we're better, but their team is better right now and has won a world series recently.
  9. i don't know if it's going to get better but jesus christ we need a thread away from packers jerks and away from that awful game. everyone get better. go.
  10. i generally agree, though seeing him play so well here does just make me mad that no one would give up anything of worth for him even if they could have him for free.
  11. cannot be posted enough Mark Prior threw as many games with 130-plus pitches in September and October of 2003 as every pitcher in the major leagues combined in 2012. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v386/edstevensiscool/heroinforehead.jpg
  12. I just pointed to the prettiest pictures. You had a Miller Lite That's crossing the line. May have been Coors. Once you pulled up in your rental Taurus and asked what they had in plastic bottles I started slamming whiskey. TRUTH REVEALED I LOVE IT
  13. That's more depressing than any hyperbole I could make up about this offseason. I really hope that's not true. they're all a good bet to be average-or-better players (much better in the case of Castro and Rizzo), so i don't see the big deal though i am, admittedly, probably higher on Valbuena than most If they were used for the right matchups/splits I think Valbuena/Vitters/Stewart could achieve league average production at 3B. this is probably true if Valbuena/Vitters/Stewart are used in something like a 90/0/10 split most teams don't have the personnel for a platoon in which one of the players only faces pitchers who throw underhand. but then most teams don't have josh vitters.
  14. Really? Really? it is truly a dark day when we must call into question the objectivity of a gentleman like ELCABALLO45
  15. SUCCESSFUL REVERSE JINX you got lucky this time, i won't always be here to bail you out
  16. umfan thnx 4 da jinx
  17. remember like 10 minutes ago when everything was awesome i preferred that EDIT but okay thanks earl bennett i feel a little better
  18. what is the likelihood that i find a stream for today's game?
  19. len kasper tweeted that samardzija is batting 8th and campana 9th tonight
  20. gmoney you are so cool i love your cool haircut
  21. worst case scenario we have to get eric karros to come out of retirement, what's the big deal
  22. DROP jose bautista ADD albert pujols
  23. cc is a worse corner man than mickey from the lipton brisk rocky commercial held under a magnifying glass on a sunny day
