    Nonsense. This photo of Walter Johnson's pitching grips was taken literally 100 YEARS ago. http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh153/OleMissCub17/walterpitch.jpg That's a 4 seamer, slider, sinker, changeup, knuckleball, and curve. Then you have to consider the fact that breaking pitches in 2009 travel faster than fastballs did in 1909. I also never said that breaking pitches hadn't been invented yet. I really don't think you have a clue of what you are talking about.

    When people say "pure hitter" they are talking guys like Ichiro, Gwynn, Rose. It's a stupid Morganesque term. I could probably close my eyes and imagine Tim McCarver talking about it too.

    Oh come on. You say it as if I didn't know that. I'm just saying, there's a reason why the Yanks didn't hang onto him. Here's the reason the Yankees didn't hang on to him.... http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2009/0207/mlb_a_rodriguez_600.jpg

    Do I need to post a pic of what a real trophy looks like? From 2003 http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2008/0519/ncf_ap_lsu_bcs2003_600.jpg and from 2007 http://blogs.fayobserver.com/faytoz/files/2008/01/bcs-championship.JPG That other one is just weak.

    Yes. It is possible to be a good hitter that does not slug. I never said it wasn't possible to be a good hitter that doesn't slug. However, you implied that a slugger isn't necessarily a good hitter. That is where you are wrong. Hitting for power is as much a part of hitting as making contact. So, to say Sosa wasn't a good "pure hitter" as a way to discount his accomplishments is ludicrous.

    Dunn hits a homerun against us. Shocking!
  8. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Soriano is just not a pure hitter.
  9. vance_the_cubs_fan
    So slugging is different from hitting? It's all about production as a hitter, and Sosa did that better than anyone the Cubs have ever had.
  10. vance_the_cubs_fan
    You lie. There's nothing beautiful about Nacogdoches.
  11. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Soriano is such a selfish player.
  12. vance_the_cubs_fan
    He split Harris I think.
  13. vance_the_cubs_fan
    We need a run or two right here.
  14. vance_the_cubs_fan
    You'd think they would send him to Tennessee since he's been playing all year against AA level competition.
  15. vance_the_cubs_fan
    He pitches better after a good piece of road snatch.

    I love how the front 4 rows are virtually vacant.
  18. vance_the_cubs_fan
    That wouldn't make Soriano guilty of an atrocity. That would just make him a member of the 1988 Cubs.
  19. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I'm going to have to say Sosa was the best Cubs hitter ever.
  20. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Drop Bruce, add Werth.
  21. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I would have had to boo Obama for his choice of clothing.
  22. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I know we still have time, but what's the verdict?
  23. vance_the_cubs_fan
    hahahahaha!
  24. vance_the_cubs_fan
    I'm going to have to drop Bruce, but I need to decide who to replace him with.
  25. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Will Marshall be any worse defensively than Soriano?
