    My guess is he stopped signing autographs after an hour and a ton of people wrote to the paper saying what a horrible person he was.

    Buehrle is a shutdown starter come playoff time. I'd take my chances with Freddy Garcia, also.

    I thought this would be something about Lou Piniella using another lame excuse to get Damon Hollins in the lineup over Joey Gathright, Jonny Gomes, or Delmon Young.
  4. Mark_R
    This is by far the best solution.

    My negativity is getting us somewhere! haha. How do you know it wasn't me posting the radar? :wink: How do YOU Know it wasnt the cubs pretending to play smart baseball? :P How do YOU know it wasn't Dusty deciding to put Hairston and Walker 1-2? :P :P That would fall under the smart category, imo. Intelligence: a known Dusty Baker detriment :D

    Soooooooooo.............. was it a solo shot? As someone who is genuinely curious and honest to god too lazy to look at another resource for the answer.

    Hahha, could you imagine Greg Maddux pitching to Piazza? Aramis Ramirez would be gettin the green light all day long.

    If I wasn't looking to plop down a lot of money in the next month (school, Dells, new laptop) I'd be all over this... No work on Friday makes it even more difficult :cry:

    I actually believe Brian Cashman when he says he won't be raising the payroll. From Peter Gammons (Insider Needed)
  12. Mark_R
    Brian Cashman is pretty adamant in not giving up Wang or Eric Duncan for anything at this point, especially Corey Pattterson.

    Yes, you are. Come now. Are you saying the pitcher has no impact in the game whatsoever? I understand that as a stand alone stat, win's are more a measure of the team's preformance than the individual pitcher's. But, the team's preformance (W-L record) is a reflection of the preformance of the Batting and the Pitching. You cannot say that it has nothing to do with the pitcher. It's completely absurd to say so. while pitching well can certainly help a pitchers chance of getting a W, for the most part, the W department is up to the offense. The pitcher can give up 32 runs. If the offense scores 33, then he still gets a win. I was exaggerating when saying has NOTHING to do with it, i guess. But for the most part, it has more to do with offense then pitching. How else do you explain Estes last year. I'd say that the Estes scenario from last season is more the exception. Pitchers do usually have to pitch at the very least decent to get that many wins (simply because of potentially losing rotation spots, not going 5 innings, etc) Also Jeriome Robertson in 2003 was a huge exception with 15 wins and an ERA over 5. At this point, I don't believe he's in the majors.
  14. Mark_R
    Yeah, because he's worth Boras LT money at what, 34? Nevermind, I'm an idiot, he's only 31... A little more palatable.
  15. Mark_R
    That AL lineup is freaking loaded.
  16. Mark_R
    I don't care if you're joking, don't miscast Dusty as being racist.
  17. Mark_R
    This post will likely escalate into another WINS ARE NOT THE BEST MEASURE FOR PITCHERS' SUCCESS argument. We could have a whole seperate forum for that and debates on Corey and it may rival the Gamethread for total posts.
  18. Mark_R
    Bonds has deserved it every year though, imo.
  19. Mark_R
    Carp's been good, but this is a joke.
  20. Mark_R
    Haha, this ump is stupid.
  21. Mark_R
    where have you been? that's the cubs' philosophy on trading their players. see farnsworth, sosa, cruz, hawkins, etc. Yeah, glad that Hawkins trade netted us a load of nothing.
  22. Mark_R
    Anything but Maddux again next year... Make me sit and watch the Royals if you must...
  23. Mark_R
    Nathan, thanks for your time chatting with us! How is the progress of Grant Johnson coming along at this point? I think there's a lot more to his progress than what he's actually producing on the mound ie side sessions, etc.
  24. Mark_R
    I didn't see this thread this morning, but I asked my friend this evening about a deal involving Derrek Lee (for reasons stated in this thread, value will never be higher, etc) for Andy Marte, Jeff Franceour, and Adam LaRoche. I think that would put Atlanta in a real strong position to make a legit run at a WS with the two guys they have at the top of the rotation and Lee to add along with the Jones', Giles, Furcal, Estrada, Langerhans, Johnson, et al.
  25. Mark_R
    Am I the only one who thinks this is a precursor to Dusty getting canned?
