BA has to learn NOT to throw home...let that runner go to 3rd again.

Edmonds CRUSHED that one down the 3rd base line...now 1st and 2nd, 2 outs.

Eckstein, Taguchi, Rolen, Edmonds, Encarnacion, Spiezio, Rodriguez, Bennett, Miles

I have absolutely no problem with that lineup against Mulder tonight. I am starting to think that sometimes the lineup is selected via the 'names out of a hat' method though.

SF1 a mod? eh..........did the other 3,100 members turn you down first Gage? Grats SF1, and everyone else recently given color to their names!! I'm still campaigning for Heads to be dropped down to only moderator of the Archive Forum, but no one wants to hear me!

Was announced yesterday.

Its out of sheer morbid curiosity I think, that this thread is still going

Pods, honestly to me, seems WAY too complacent while playing defense. And he always seems to take his ABs with him to the field mentally, which here lately the way he is hitting, is not good.

That kid got a pretty sweet deal there....gets a chance to try his way in football at ND, and still has a pro baseball contract with some longevity. Well played.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 20, 2006 -> 01:27 AM) Smoltz has interest in the Tiggers. :headshake Its who drafted him originally. Was discussing that with a friend earlier tonight. I would rather not see Smoltz in the Motor City, speaking as a Sox fan. He still has good stuff, and if not for the anemic Atlanta offense, his numbers would look alot better.

Haven't watched syndicated TV since Scrubs was a new, unknown show and John Doe was ganked off TV way before it should have been.

Well...my EYES tell me that Pods has no defensive gameplan whatsoever, doesn't position himself very well at all, takes s***ty routes to flyballs, has a noodle arm that couldn't throw out Paul Konerko going first to 3rd, and relies solely on catchup speed to make 80% of his plays out there. I don't need stats to see that.

Such a great game pitched by Doug Davis for Milwaukee tonight, he gets pinch hit for..and the next inning, the reliever gives the lead back.. I hate that. 1-1 in the 8th

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 08:59 PM) His goodness ratio out there last year was -1000. Quoted for truth!

Eh...thats why i moved the first one to the area it goes in..

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 09:04 AM) The funny thing is that you can Pablo is actually learning, and slowly improving in LF, with the minimal playing time he gets out there. If Pablo keeps improving in left, with his speed, he could replace Pods before all is said and done. Honestly, and I'm sure lots will disagree with me, but its getting to the point where Pods vs. Ozuna is a wash defensively to me. Pods plays deeper than most any LFer I've ever seen, and counts on his ability to run balls down to make plays...he just isn't a good LFer, no arm, and bad defensive placement. I don't think Ozuna is the answer long term at all, and until we get someone who CAN leadoff properly, AKA a Crawford, then we are gonna see Pods out there.

Hope its a great one!

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 11:40 PM) Does anyone have a link to the stats for their careers in cubs? Both were 0-0, 0.00 ERA with the Cubs!!

Theres something to be said about having bragging rights WITH RESPECT TO hitting amongst your fellow pitchers, and Buehrle can't say "Well I hit a 2 run HR." All fun and games between em.

6-1 Road trip to 2 teams with winning records!!! Great job today Jonny G, Mack, Dye, the whole team!!

Both those outs were hit pretty hard on Montero, only got the 1st out due to defensive placement.

And Detroit has hit 6 HRs off the Flubbies now, only in the 5th inning....go get em Dusty!!

Cubs and Red pitchers trying to see who can outdo each other today??

Hahahahahaha....JD!

Thome 69 K's in 224 ABs.. Theres your moment of pessimism for this game.
