It's so funny tho Jabroni because every time I take a really quick glance at your signature I think it is Borch.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 11:15 PM) Yeah, I know what you're saying. If you want to, you could argue it -- but you know you do, you'll either a.) leave the person dumbfounded by their lack of understanding of a certain statistic or, b.) be made fun of for an knowing too much about a team, and being told to 'get a life', or something along those lines. EXACTLY!

Neither do I. It was a valid, controlled argument that highly affects the team. BTW, it was 2 days ago when Borch hit the 2 HR's.

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 10:56 PM) Sorry, I meant 10 E's, which is not a helluva lot of errors. My bad 10 is more REASONABLE.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 11:01 PM) And, I'm not suggest Giambi as a leadoff hitter, he's just a nice guy to have at the September call-ups, and a nice guy to have off the bench... I agree with you there.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 10:57 PM) I live in Iowa. About 30 miles from the Minnesota border. But I hate all Minnesota sports. I hate the Twins, Vikings, and Timberwolves. Sorry....you live in Iowa. :headshake BTW, Punch and Judy Garland....I sometimes make up stats to give my argument the extra UMPH! too. :banghead

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 10:55 PM) "I know Adam Dunn, and Mr Giambi-you are no adam dunn" Give me a break, Jeremy Giambi sucks. Plus he's a bad clubhouse guy. When a moneyball team gets rid of you (these teams have brought in Milton Bradley, Jose Guillen) that tells you all of the character things you need to know. He was a joke as a leadoff hitter. Who wants a leadoff hitter that will go 160 games without a steal? Leading-off isn't all about steals. It's about OBP, being a good guy to get rallies started, and being the spark plug for a team.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 10:55 PM) Why's a strikeout viewed as such a bad thing? Because it is another at-bat wasted and another 200 outs for your team in a season!

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 10:52 PM) Yeah I get made fun of up here in Twins country. I hate those fans so much. I also try to avoid them. Your a Sox fan....living in Minnesota.....but also a Chiefs fan?????

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 10:52 PM) I'm a girl and I follow the sox almost slavishly. So, yeah, I get teased quite a bit about it. A real man would love me for my obsession. *sigh* I'm a man and I love the Sox....and obsessions! The Sox are my fetish hahaha.

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) Oh I see how it is, I'm not a good enough baseball person anymore??? lol Hahahaha!

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) Meh -- Adam Dunn strikes out a lot, and I'd love to have him. Giambi's a nice pickup by Kenny. Unfortunately, everybody's favorite Perez will be blocking his entry to the big club... Whatever did Eddie Perez do to keep Giambi out of the MLB? BTW, Adam Dunn broke the record for most K's in a season...that TOO many. No thanks.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 10:47 PM) Who would of thought that a thread about gangsta-ballers would have turned into a grammar lesson. Hahaha! You started it with the I before E s***!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 10:49 PM) At my workplace, anytime someone has any baseball question, they come to me. Even if it is about the Cubs, they ask me over any Cub fans. Oh yeah....wel at my workplace......nevermind, I don't work.

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 10:36 PM) I know I'm new here but, since when is .281/38/112 not considered doing well. He had All Star numbers as a 24 year old you gotta think hes gonna get better or at least put up those numbers consistently, especially as a switch hitting first baseman, plus he's a pretty good fielder 24 E's in 142 games... I gotta agree except....how is he a good fielder with 24 errors in 142 games? Thats 24 errors....IN LESS THAN A FULL SEASON! That's a helluva lot of errors.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 10:45 PM) Well I think you can say spelt. v. A past tense and a past participle of spell or n. A hardy wheat grown mostly in Europe. Damn you!

Cubs fan.........unknowledgable? Your kidding!

Thats quite a few K's there huh?

Haha....spelt?

You made all those Show????? Oh yeah, and I saw that Billy Koch one!

Does he draw a lot of walks?

When they something stupid, I give them a SMALL chuckle and a head shake.....then walk away.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Mar 9, 2005 -> 10:32 PM) I BEFORE E EXCEPT AFTER C!!!!!!! sorry Did you learn that in Canada, ey?

I thought he was your average can't hit, can't do s*** pitcher. Can he read liners off the bat? Can he charge in on a pop-up? Does he know the proper drills?

That is such an awesome picture. I love Dee Brown. Yeah...and why are you doing reports on the Illini when I'm learning stoichiometry and all kinds of other -ometries.
