Does anyone remember Theriot's HR this year?

What's with all these walks?

Who's better?

maybe one should read the thread before complaining about people complaining. I scanned through it pretty quickly and saw lots of pet peeves... am I missing something?

8 pages? Seriously? I haven't read the thread, but if there are 8 pages worth of baseball pet peeves, you guys need to chill out. It's a great game. Stop getting so worked up over it!

I'm guessing Soto gets the start since Blanco caught the 9th in game one? I hope so... he's been really hot lately.

One of the local radio shows interviewed Chip a couple weeks ago. I remember him saying something about how the Cards, Braves, and Dodgers were the "class of the NL." No mention of the Cubs.

They seriously threw at him? F this team.

Bob's a dick. He's all about that old school nonsense. I wouldn't call him a dick, but he does lay into Cubs players a little too much at times.

??? What did Soriano do?

They pulled Marquis way too early.

That's a great idea actually.

One run in 4 innings is great. I'll take that every time. Edit: What did DeRo do?

Let's not talk about only scoring a 151, 'kay? Though Kansas was still willing to take me. Their mistake. kU will take anyone...

Can you fill us in? Something about Wainwright doing a re-hab start then, straight to the rotation as early next week. Well he's already had at least one rehab start. Possibly two.

Yeah, aside from the fact that he's not.

Most of the current Braves have very little history against Marquis. Andruw Jones killed him, but he's moved on. Chipper has hit 3 home runs against him in only 6 at-bats. Overall though, there's no real idea if this Braves squad is a bad matchup for him. every matchup is a bad matchup with marquis That's not really true. Let's give Marquis credit for the good starts he's had. He's not a 65 ERA+ pitcher this year. He's a 95 ERA+ pitcher, which isn't really all that horrible for a #5. The Braves are no juggernaut this year, it's nothing like facing them when they were a playoff team. The other thing is, he's been holding pretty steady through the year. Putting up some bad starts, then some mediocre ones, with a smattering of good starts. We're in mid August now, which is usually well past the time when Jason collapses. Hasn't happened yet. Let's hope it continues. I agree with what you're saying. I take issue with the bolded part though. It's much better than "not all that horrible." For a number five starter, it's actually pretty great. it's not so great for a guy making $7 mil. Honest question... what would you expect for a guy making 7M? I don't know what the average salary is for MLB SP's this year... I do know that it was just under 5M in 2006. Obviously that number has gone up. How significantly? That I don't know. What we do know is that Marquis is around average, production wise. And he appears to be around average when you consider his salary as well.

What happened with him in Milwaukee?

Well this sucks, I was really looking forward to watching the game tonight.

Big no on Sheffield. I wonder if the Rays will take a flyer on him.

So what will tickets go for in the VWR? Face value But will they jack up the 'face value' price? Or will it be the same price as the whatever regular season game against whatever team? Seriously? Yes, it'll definitely be higher than regular season prices.

I'm getting tired of seeing people bitching about the Brewers schedule (not that you're bitching, and not that this is directed towards you). Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the Cubs and Brewers basically play the same teams the same number of times this year?

Fontenot is one ugly looking dude. Marmol looked kinda hammered. Great video, thanks for posting it!

Are they going to have women's diving? There's nothing else on, but I don't want to watch a bunch of dudes in Speedo's.
