QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 01:29 AM) That was typical Mizzou baseball before the last few weeks of the season. Offense blows and can't execute RISP. Jamieson left his starter in too long and the bullpen blows. Yeah, that's about right. f***ing hell. There is no way Mizzou should have lost that game. It should have been 4-0 early on without Mizzou adding any hits. Scherzer leaves during the 7th before the 2nd run scores and Wendte comes in (Mizzou's best reliever, Parker is garbage) and locks it down maybe letting in the 2nd run at most. Angry?

Joe Crede is the easy answer. Most of us want Joe to get locked up long term and even if he isnt, he's still here through 08. Yes, Fields has been brought up as an outfielder and that would be in lf but if that happens we're going to have needed to find a leadoff hitter elsewhere. Josh is a good prospect and could easily be the centerpiece of a deal to land us something we really need this year.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 11:15 PM) I was having a little debate with my roommate tonight about who (any sport -- even pro wrestling) was the toughest athlete to lace up and work their ass off on a field/rink/ring. I didn't want to make it a poll but I'm interested in seeing peoples' answers. I'll start -- and I'll throw out kind of an obscure one. He's a pro wrestler by the gimmick name of Sabu. First off, he came back to wrestle after breaking his neck (botched back body drop landed him on his head). Secondly, during the famous/infamous Born to Be Wired he tore open his bicep which started to bleed badly. He taped it up haphazardly with athletic tape and finished the match for another 5-10 minutes. A third time he broke his jaw during a match. Instead of stopping and rushing the finish, he duct taped his head to keep his jaw shut and continued the match. Most recently, he wrestled with a broken arm, numerous cuts and part of his finger missing. He refuses to miss bookings to reccoperate from injuries. I'd say he's one badass athlete -- yet one of the more obscure. So who else should get added to this illustrious list? Ya, that's pretty tough. To be honest, it's pretty hard to beat the overall toughness of professional wrestlers. Those guys are on the road day after day putting their bodies through hell.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 11:04 PM) Sorry, SEASON mvp award. Asshole.

Numbers wise, he should be right up there. I just honestly can't see Jermaine Dye winning a MVP award, not to mention we have a long way to go. Jim Thome has a much better shot then JD imo.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 01:42 PM) Tomorrow is my first Sat afternoon game of the year. I live up in Gurnee. Should I expect bad traffic with the Dan Ryan mess as if it was a night game or should it be an easy ride? Trying to figure out what time to leave, I'm thinking 10am. You'll be fine, it just gets kind of backed up once you get close to the park.

.5 back again. Lets get our lead back tomorrow.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 10:14 PM) Who woke you up? Dye did.

JD=God.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 01:45 AM) Darin Erstad's splits over the past 6 seasons. 2001 - .258/.331/.360 2002 - .283/.313/.389 2003 - .252/.309/.333 2004 - .295/.346/.400 2005 - .273/.325/.371 2006 - .238/.279/.350 None of those 6 seasons are higher than his career OPS of .757. The fact is Brady Clark, Ryan Church etc. are much better options than Erstad, who's overpaid, injury prone, and will be very lucky to get a 1/3rd of what he's making now, next season. Ryan Church= this year's Chad Tracy?

I honestly had no clue who that was.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 11:21 PM) Who will be the starting keeper for Team USA? Goldberg.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 11:11 PM) I'm not sure why anybody would be surprised, any name I find out is a star and ISN'T cheating would shock me. They are almost ALL cheating assclowns, everybody in baseball and the NFL (although they are avoiding the spotlight....for now). I hope this isn't true, but they are my boys over at deadspin and I would be shocked if this isn't accurate. And as for those who underrate this story, I assume you said Bonds was innocent when Greg Anderson's issues came up. If this story is true, Pujols is an HGH freak, end of story. Way to have an open mind.

Lets just hope the Pujols acquistations are false. Pujols being involved would just kill baseball, absolutely destroy it.

Bah hum bug

For a little guy, Granderson sure has a ton of power.

Phew.

Jon seems pretty confident in his change tonight.

Thank you Kenny.

JD isn't really that slow, he's not a speed burner but he's a long strider so it looks like he's moving slower then he really is.
