Thank you.

Every time one the kids KW has traded away has a good game, or a good season, you'll hear this kind of stuff. If you remember, when Ginter started off so well with the Mets several were b****ing because we only got that lazy, no good Timo Perez for him. We'll hear it about Olivo, Reed and Morse. Especially if Garcia bolts or loses his effectiveness. Of course, there were a lot of people in here predicting a championship after that trade was made.

Turnabout is fair play. Where did you get this information?

I keep seeing these posts about how Lee is a bad baserunner. I ask about it, in this thread and get no responses to my question. I do, however, see more generic posts about Lee's lack of baserunning abilities. As I said, being located away from Chicago, I only get to see a handful of the games. But, in the games I get to see Carlos appears to do a damn decent job on the pads. So, again I ask .... How many times has he been picked off this year. Example cases would also be appreciated.

Thanks Flash. I didn't get back to this thread to see ssi's question.

That was a fun year.

I almost spit coffee all over my monitor.

That wasn't the spot for Frank. That should have been Gload. Keeping Frank in the dugout would have kept that threat hanging over Baker's head later in the game. Of course, the rainout makes my argument moot. But that's what I thought at the time.

C'mon people, stop whining. There have been SEVERAL people here that said it was foul ball. If it was Sosa hitting one like that, and it wasn't reversed, the b****ing would be non-stop.

Qwerty, Here's the link.

When it was announced that Diaz would start. It was about two days ago. I don't have a clue as to what thread it was in.

Where was that opinion before the game. I think I was the only one to raise that question at all, prior to the game.

Overall, Harris has a larger potential upside to him. However, Miles' attitude may just negate that. I've always liked a guy that can be a grinder, like Miles. If Willie Harris can utilize all of his tools, he'll be the better ballplayer. But, that is a big "if".

Beastly, stop your whining. If Maggs leaves, he leaves. And who gives a rat's ass what any Cub fan has to say. Do you know how to use the ignore option?

That, my new friend, is THE post of the year!

Advantage Maddux. He can paint those slightly expanded corners like Rembrandt.

He was in AAA with Seattle. I think we can send him down without any problems. Either way, we don't need to just release him.

Ever notice how someone that's let's say, oh ... 20 years old or so, will act like a 20 year old and then try and b****slap you for arguing with a 20 year old?

If a crime was in fact committed, yes it's sick. And if not, then they are all sick. The point is that they haven't been found guilty, yet.

Apparently, Scott and Ozzie have talked it out and everything is now cool.

Apparently, the jury could not come to the conclusion that the accused were guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Considering that they actually were in the courtroom, and heard both sides of the case presented I don't see what's so sick about there being a mistrial. Isn't that the way the system is supposed to work?

That argument does not meet the proper agenda. Therefore was not mentioned.

Kobe will probably be playing for Colorado State Penitentiary (sp?) next season.

It won't be the bench coach. Bench coach was Robin Yount. He resigned his position.

Likewise. As for the staement about Lee getting picked off. I don't get to see but a fraction of the games. How many times has this happened this year? In general, I don't think Carlos is a bad baserunner at all. And he damn sure is not lazy.
