    PIE!!! Another triple. Nice.
  2. E.J.
    E2. Come on Pie.
  3. E.J.
    The Riot needs to lift weights.
  4. E.J.
    I think it should be called Jonesed at this point. He grounds out 4-3 just as much as Pierre did.
  5. E.J.
    Nope. He does his other favorite thing. Out 4-3.
  6. E.J.
    Nevermind. Cobs suck.
  7. E.J.
    We're going to score at least 3 this inning.
  8. E.J.
    Sit down Sammy.
  9. E.J.
    Nice pitch. :x

    ANGEL PAGAN please... Actually, it should be Floyd in RF and Ward DH'ing. That would give us the best lineup. But your point isn't lost.
  11. E.J.
    I predict we're going to win 10-4 tonight.
  12. E.J.
    When's Aramis due back?
  13. E.J.
    No, I won't be cheering. I'm sure as heck hoping that he doesn't get it against the Cubs, but it's pretty much written in stone.

    BBB raises an excellent point, which reminded me of something a source of mine said earlier this year. Many like to make fun of Jim Bowden around here, but my source told me that the dumbest GM in baseball unequivocally is Jon Daniels of the Rangers. "Definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer by any stretch." My source, who happens to scan Tim's site here on a regular basis, told me just by reading some threads here that there are at least 100 posters, who would be better than Daniels on philosophy alone. Nice! You're not one of them. Just kidding.

    I think it's a good idea. Don't want any votes counted after the deadline. Derwood's MIA.

    Thanx for those kind words, but I just kind of took it upon myself to spot start for Jazz, who is currently among the missing. I certainly hope he will be on the spot to start tomorrow's game thread..... and many more !!! Wow. I just looked at the game thread starters and I'm coming up soon. Man the Cubs have lost a lot of games so far this year. :x

    Are you going to any of these games?
  18. E.J.
    Damn straight. From now on we'd best get some boxing lessons for guys like Soriano and Lee. If we're going to get suspended for fighting, then we'd better get the most out of it. They should train with Chuck Liddell for a while.

    We're going to sweep this series. :bluekoolaid:

    Hes out of options though, so after they call him up hes there to stay or they risk losing him. He also seems like an all or nothing guy at the plate from the last time I seen his stats. He has no idea how to take a walk. His OBP is terrible, but he's putting up a .932 OPS on the year. He's already got 19 homers. I'm sure he could definitely put up better numbers than Skip Schumaker.

    1- He is a FA at years end just like Barrett, so its not a long term solution. 2- He is nowhere near as bad defensively as Barrett. He had 7 PB in 1254 innings last year, and 6 in 544 so far this year. He did throw out 30% last season, but only 19% so far this year in stealing. Would expect that might come up a bit. Barrett is 10 in 852 last year and 8 in 466 this year. 19% and 17% in stealing throws. 3- He is struggling. .533 OPS is horrible. His .709 last year was also not good. But Kendall has always been a 2nd half hitter (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5562/splits;_ylt=An4oXuknM.zQBd6UKH5LC7SFCLcF?year=career&type=Batting) and he will be going from a 96 ballpark to a 104, so one would expect that his offense might rise as well. 4- We clear the OF out a bit and arent hamstrung by Jones next year. Lifetime #s for Kendall in Wrigley: Wrigley Field 51 179 28 50 12 2 2 28 18 17 2 4 .279 .378 .402 .780 I still fail to see how Kendall is such an upgrade over Barrett. He's much worse offensively, his OPS is horrific, and he's just as bad defensively. He can't throw out runners any better than Barrett can, and he's having just as much trouble with PB and errors as well. Kendall is an old catcher who's declining very quickly.

    Go Giants!! Go Royals!! It's days like this which make me wish I had MLB EI again.
  23. E.J.
    Yep, an upgrade at Catcher for us. We then trade Barrett to the AL. Clears 2 problems with 1 stone. What part of .224/.264/.269 would exactly be an upgrade? Kendall also has 6 PB and 4 errors to Barrett's 8 PB and 5 errors.
  24. E.J.
    I feel sorry for the Orioles. It just keeps getting worse for them.
  25. E.J.
    You're going up against a girl who loves great TV and the Cubs. All of us guys are ready to marry her. Sorry, but you got screwed with the draw.
