QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2008 -> 09:51 PM) 13, one was an out on a ball in play that hit Ozuna. 8 hits and 6 BBs

just got home...am i seeing this right.....14 baserunners in 5 innings and only 2 runs

QUOTE (scenario @ May 17, 2008 -> 03:12 PM) Saw these notes in the Trib today... Friday marked the fourth time this season RHP Gavin Floyd has not allowed an earned run. He has gone at least six innings in all of his outings this year, including Friday's win over San Francisco. Floyd has held opponents to a .193 average (33-for-171). He could end up being Coop's most impressive reclamation project. unfortunately his peripherals have been pretty horrendous...1:1 K:BB isnt gonna cut it over the long run and that BABIP is bound to increase big time...that said he has been fantastic

CAPPS THREW HIM 3 STRAIGHT FASTBALLS WTF....up 0-2 why are you throwing a strike to this guy?!? capps threw 22 pitches in the 9th.....all fastballs...wow

im giving 50-50 odds that capps blows this

QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2008 -> 03:11 PM) Bixler...the same dumbass who forgot to run home earlier this year on a bunt where the Pirates would have beat the Cubs. Jack Wilson will be back off the DL soon, but that doesn't really help us much. thank god they at least 1 above average player in mclouth

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ May 16, 2008 -> 05:13 PM) Agreed. That was hilarious. The part with the bowl of M&Ms and the vending machine scene were awesome. i cracked up when he said "we can go eat pie"

QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2008 -> 02:09 PM) Because the National Legue loves to piss us off. lol i just got a call from my good friend who is a cub fan...thats the type of s*** that drives me f***ing up a wall...who the f*** is tyler yates...ryan bixler? WTF aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2008 -> 02:07 PM) STOP THROWING FASTBALLS TO SORIANO! The Cubs offense just keeps going and going. its unreal to me...why do people not throw him breaking balls and let him get himself out

QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2008 -> 12:50 PM) Did Jason Bay drop a fly ball costing the Pirates a few runs? I missed the play. it was a one hopper that he mishandled....brenely is unreal, he was like wow thats a tough error that was a hard ball to handle.....what a joke ...every major leaguer should make that play...and yes it did cost a run

where are all the morons who called into sports talk radio claiming the cubs were a better team without soriano in the lineup now?

QUOTE (YASNY @ May 17, 2008 -> 11:56 AM) I'm sure you mean Brooks Robinson at third. bah obviously...thanks....damn orioles named robinson

SS - Honus Wagner 2b - Joe Morgan DH - Babe Ruth CF - Willie Mays RF - Ted Williams LF - Barry Bonds 3b - Alex Rodriguez 1b - Lou Gehrig C- Josh Gibson (if negro leaguers count, satchel paige was in a previous list so i included him, if not Berra slight edge over Bench. On that note I was tempted to put Oscar Charleston, but it seems difficult to put him over any of the OFers, while Gibson over Berra I am ok with) SP - Walter Johnson Cy Young Bob Gibson Greg Maddux Lefty Grove Bullpen - CP Mariano Rivera, Hoyt Wilhem, Tom Seaver (gotta have a long man) I was tempted to put arod at short and brooks robinson at 3rd, but for the sake of a leadoff man I went with Wagner (and wagner was arguably a better player than robinson anyways) BTW Knight...this seems like as good of an idea as any for the next "Lets make a list" ....if we have a long time it would be pretty sweet to do maybe a top 10 at each position and at the end compile it all....if you dont organize it, maybe i will

good god bobby is throwing a nasty changeup tonight too...if he can throw it like that all the time hes gonna be that much better

FWIW Dotel leads the majors in K:IP ratio

vazquez 3.53 contreras 3.35 danks 2.74 Floyd 2.92 Dotel 3.12 Linebrink 1.56 Thornton 3.60 Logan 3.00 Jenks 2.20 even masset 4.26 bueno

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 16, 2008 -> 11:34 PM) If you were to guess it based off Soxtalk gameday posts you'd think it was in the low 6's and that he was a complete waste of money that we're stuck with now. He's generally been pretty damn effective. Of course he's had a couple bad outings but what pitcher doesn't? i honestly dont remember linebrink being criticized much at all on here...i think everyone has said hes done a pretty darn good job

QUOTE (fathom @ May 16, 2008 -> 11:31 PM) Did Anderson stay in the game? no

green light here

vizquel is still so smooth out there

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 16, 2008 -> 11:13 PM) The pitch was at about his shins, he went down and hit a laser beam over the car on the left field wall. it was maybe the first pitch all year ramirez has actually adjusted to, and he didnt take his humongous swing on

giants broadcast didnt show a replay...but he looked safe the first time i saw it

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 16, 2008 -> 11:08 PM) I don't see why people have been so down on Ramirez... he has so much potential, and he just showed some right there. cuz he lacks knowledge of the strike zone...or at least it appears as though he lacks it

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 16, 2008 -> 11:05 PM) Alexei will not go yard here Hawk. Get off the kool-aid. false

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 16, 2008 -> 11:03 PM) It's so frustating watching this crappy lineup. Seriously, bring up Getz for second base. His numbers are home-inflated, but at least he won't swing at s*** just like Crede did. WOW. this lineup blows. im intrigued by getz.....doesnt strike out alot...walks enough....the problem in the past has been power, which he has seemingly added each year in the minors....if he could develop 12-15 HR power in the majors hed be quite valuable i think
