In a 14 inning game... and it was a pinch runner. Anyway, these things happen in 14 inning games. Just be thankful that Theriot (best comparison to Doug Dascenzo?) didn't end up pitching
No, if he doesn't get ejected at all this year I win-that's what I chose. Yeah.. and that's probably the best bet. It's the safest one. Not the best one. Mine's the best bet. :wink: If anyone ever gives you 10,000 to 1 odds on ANYTHING.....you. take. it. If John Mellencamp ever wins a grammy, you're looking at a very wealthy man.
It's being a "snob" to just understand basic grammar? Come on. I guess it worked eh? :lol: http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/0671723650.01._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-dp-500-arrow,TopRight,45,-64_OU01_SCLZZZZZZZ_V47162198_AA240_SH20_.jpg
Theriot didnt exactly have a great game today either but no one is railing on him. DeRosa is going to put up similar if not better numbers than last year. He's been great everyone has good games and bad games. Im pretty happy with what Mark has been able to do so far. A bold prediction considering most professionals project a modest regression. Those projections are based on three year averages and are meaningless when considering breakout or injury plagued years. There wont be a modest regression. Either it was a fluke and there will significant regression, or it was a real breakout year, and he will continue to build. The average of that is a moderate regression, and the average of the last three years is a moderate regression, so that's what projection go with.
possibly because he's not hurt. He's fully healed but has no velocity and never will. rephrased: he's done. But as long as he's still under contract the Cubs will try whatever they can. Not saying this is true (in fact I don't think it is), but you asked for an alternate interpretation. The mystery that is Mark Prior continues. I'm just glad we don't have to rely on the enigma anymore...He only is intersting the same way a car accident is. No, in the same way that Ashton Kutcher having an actor demolish a brand new Cadillac Escalade just to play a joke on his friend who has a similar looking Escalade is. Pointless, painful, senseless. I hate Dusty. And Ashton Kutcher.

I like it. It would be better if it was more accessible from the front page. There's a "link to the blogs section" there, but I think each of the latest blogs should be a link to that blog from the front page. Or even put the full blog on the front page. The quality of writers and posters on NSBB is terrific. I think NSBB would get the acclaim and attention it deserves if the front page was spruced up a bit. Our now generation doesn't like to dig. You'd get more viewership and more revenue from advertisements. That said, I like NSBB being the well kept secret it is. As I have limited time to sift through junk posts, I like the fact that 80% of posters are capable of rational coherent thought. Sorry. [/rambling stream of consciousness.]
