  1. I wonder how this will impact Sing and Dopirak. With Lee being here for the next 5 years, suddenly they become great trading chips come July. The question is... how highly are they viewed around baseball?
  2. Yes they boo'd as he came in. Best fans in baseball!
  3. Were they booing Izzy towards the end of the game?
  4. I stayed there last year. Just walk. And be prepared to be staying in a very small room. And I mean very small.
  5. They have his AVG and OBP decreasing, then increasing, then decreasing again? Sorry, but that doesn't make any sense - and is a reason why I put very little stock into these projections for several years down the road.
  6. Good deal for both sides. Nice job, Hendry.
  7. What an incredible game! And what an incredible game yesterday was too! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!
  8. Have the lineups been announced? I'm really disappointed that I'm going to miss this game.
  9. For those of you wanting something other than ESPN 1000... it now says that Neifi will start on the Cubs homepage.
  10. Hopefully not. Why do you say that? If you're sitting down watching the game, it's not like you'll smell it. I think I heard that it won't be allowed. I haven't heard it publicized one way or the other, but the way I read the new anti smoking legislation that went into effect earlier this year, I would expect that smoking anywhere in the ballpark will be strictly verboten. Channel 9 news at 9pm tonight will be showing pictures of the new bleachers. Really? You're also not allowed to leave the park and re-enter, soooooooo... I guess if you smoke, you're going to have to not smoke for the whole game? That's not gonna be fun!
  11. Wow, first Nomar and now Gagne. It's not looking good for the Dodgers.
  12. Barrett is 7-15 in his career against Suppan. Especially with the off day today, there is NO way he shouldn't start.
  13. Hopefully not. Why do you say that? If you're sitting down watching the game, it's not like you'll smell it.
  14. Oh crap, is Blanco starting too? Chalk tomorrow up as a loss.
  15. Are you still going to be allowed to smoke against the back fence?
  16. You've got to be kidding me. Three freaking games into the season? Yeah, let's give Dusty that extension right away! He'd better not be starting on Saturday.
  17. What's the uproar here? I'd love to have one thread where Corey's season is tracked.
  18. That's not the choice. Most first pitches are not great pitches to hit. Well, I agree that most first pitches aren't great pitches to hit. But that has nothing to do with what I was talking about. I said that it's stupid to take pitches just for the sake of taking pitches. What are the benefits of doing so that you spoke of?
  19. Other than getting the opposing pitcher's pitch count up, what are the benefits? Seeing more of the pitcher's stuff? The hitters should know who and what they're facing already. And the benefit or a higher opposing pitch count doesn't offset the potential cost of not swinging at a good pitch. Especially when you factor in the various bullpens and how good some of them are. Given a choice between swinging at a good first pitch and letting the good first pitch go by, I'd hope the Cubs players swing at the good first pitch every time.
  20. Not really. Sure it is. Case in point - Lee's at bat in the 8th inning yesterday. You would have preferred him to take that first pitch just to work the count and have the reliever amass a higher pitch count? That was a great pitch to hit, and he absolutely should have swung at it.
  21. In yesterday's game, Lee saw one pitch in the 8th inning and it was a great pitch to hit. Aramis saw two pitches in that inning and the second one was a great pitch to hit. It's stupid to take pitches just for the sake of taking pitches.
  22. I'll be driving up to Chicago when this game is on... is it 720 AM in central Illinois too?
  23. I love having nurf footballs. They don't break anything, no matter how hard you throw them at walls.
  24. God I love Ryan Freel... but hate him right now.
