  1. Since when do we have nowhere to play him? Put him in LF and make Soriano play CF when he gets healthy. I'll take an OF of Bonds/Soriano/Fukudome any day of the week. Barry would make the Cubs lineup much stronger.
  2. I remember the Andy Hawkins no hit loss. I can't even imagine losing a game like that.
  3. Bozich goes on to claim that Weber lobbied for the Marquette job. Who knows. BTW his comments about "Indiana will suck" were part of some appearance for "meet and greet" with Illini fans at some event. I don't really care, I just think it is pretty funny if Brucie truly added the disclaimer "don't put this on the Internet". lol
  4. I guess I can accept Edmonds. Too bad he doesn't hit for power anymore. :wink:
  5. Hill and Murton for a .721 OPS? lol Thanks Bruce for putting my mind at ease. :)
  6. I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around this concept. :scratch: You have a pitcher plus 8 fielders on defense. One fielder is a DF who does not bat, the other 7 fielders do get to bat. The pitcher bats so that is 8 hitters. So then you need a corresponding Designated Hitter for each Designated Fielder to fill out your lineup. If you make the pitcher be the DF then you have the current AL DH setup for that game. Okay now that I talked myself through it, I guess I can see it but it wouldn't make any sense to let the pitcher hit if you could make him the DF. Which just brings you back to the current DH rules which do in effect let you move a lousy fielder/strong hitter to a non-fielding position and replace him with a better fielder. The DF scenario with the pitcher batting only makes sense if your pitcher is a better hitter than the DF. Hmmmm. My head hurts. Make it stop. :?
  7. Same here. I thought it was going to work for a second there... :banghead:
  8. Way to take full advantage of bases loaded, nobody out.
  9. Yeah, I read this about a month ago. But, Sosa21 told me that for sure that was a bunk rumor. Oh well, at least Crean will have all his players. That is the way I felt at the time. So I'm wrong, have fun with it. But you also said the Dodgers would sweep the Cubs at Wrigley and I correctly called that one wrong so I'm 1 out of 2 with you. 8-)
  10. We still have one returning scholarship player. Kyle Taber was on scholarship last year. Granted he is a former walk-on but we still have his 1.3 ppg returning. \:D/
  11. In the old days, you weren't a real closer unless you could throw at least 115 mph.
  12. Sham save, he had a two run lead.
  13. Let's not suck in the bottom of the 7th inning tonight.
  14. Unreal. He was safe. That should be an easy call even at full speed, I didn't need the replay to confirm that one. :banghead:
  15. Well, hopefully Hendry can pick up a solid starting pitcher by the deadline.
  16. I pulled this Dusty quote from a thread about this on the Reds mlb board: "I mean but Corey gives me the speed I need he gives me the same thing I needed before -- speed, defense and this little ballpark here he can hit the ball out the ball park." \:D/ Speed doesn't slump dudes.
