  1. wrong, but not out of line. You're supposed to say those kinds of things about your new team.
  2. I agree. the Cubs are more likely to be trading for Teixeira than signing Pujols in 2012, and yes I know Tex has a NTC.
  3. It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
  4. Agreed. But it's always sold out instantly from what I've read. It's been an extremely popular ticket. 2 years ago it would be unheard of that the convention wouldn't sell out within the first hour of tickets going on sale. Dis this have anything to do with the trib selling to ticket brokers they owned? Has Ricketts stopped this practice?
  5. Rotoworld/Levine reporting there is also a minor league pitcher coming back. Sorry if this has already been posted.
  6. ??? sarcasm? Read post above his. I did. I'm hoping its sarcastic mockery.
  7. ??? sarcasm?
  8. I doubt he'd strike out that many as a starter. Sure he would. The question is would he healthy to do it again the next year.
  9. alcohol kills more people per year than broken maple bats. It's a fact.
  10. This could be another example of accidental excellence by Cubs management. In a lost cause year, Z got used less than he has in years. We were all questioning the wear and tear on that arm. This could be good in the long run. Cubs in 2011!!
  11. I agree 100%. It was a tongue in cheek reference to a thread which linked an article that listed him among the "worst" .300 hitters this year.
  12. So we're , uh, not doing this anymore?
  13. Up to .320. But its a "soft" .320.
  14. I don't know. We've got the baseball-reference link, but not any actual footage of the game. It may not have existed. Baseball reference conspiring to create box scores of games that never actually took place?!?! This could be bigger than steroids. I am quite sure that no one actually witnessed an Expos game in their last three years in Montreal. I defy anyone (besides the now VERY suspect BR) to prove otherwise.
  15. at what point does the amount of day games theory gain some credence? (worn out, unable to find the "next gear"?
  16. Does this hint that sabermetrics has hit a peak of usefullness, and that most of what we will glean from it, we already have? conventional wisdom is still a couple decades behind it, but does this hint at a chance that fewer "advancements' will lead to an opportunity for widespread understanding and wider acceptance?
  17. That's it. He's not good enough defensively to play CF full time and doesn't hit with enough power to play one of the corner spots. From what I've seen in both the minors and with the Cubs his arm his strong and accurate and he's a decent route runner, but nothing spectacular. I'm not sure why so many people here are so down on him, I think he might be able to start on a team that gets power else where, but for most teams in the post steroid era he's likely to be a backup. In the steroid era not the "post steroid" era. The standards will change.
  18. Try changing to the subsilver2 theme, if you aren't in it already. It worked. I was using the nexus theme. I liked it better, but I also like to quote. thanks.
  19. I'm unable to quote anyone. only post a reply.
  20. Any chance the angels pick him up, since they're paying him anyway?
  21. looks like about a three hour window. 1/2 hr to clean up the field, 2 1/2 to get in at least the minimum 5..
  22. any credit to Lou (or Trammell) for recognizing this guy's ridiculous splits?
  23. think of it this way, at least you'll only have to do it once!
  24. This guy: http://www.homeruncards.com/imagesrc/ricky-nolasco.jpg vs Mr Wells http://images.dailyradar.com/media/uploads/ballhype/story_large/2009/08/15/chicago_cubs_randy_wells_beats_reds_1.jpg lose losers.
