QUOTE(daa84 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 10:30 AM) i know it aint much but thouhgt some of you might wanna see it. i still cant really figure out whether thats much of a compliment about his fastball. i suppose its a compliment about his control, but sayin it dont light up radar guns.... which essentially is nothing we didnt know I know another lefty who doesnt light up the radar gun, has good breaking stuff and control. Mark Buehrle. MPH=overrated

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 09:45 AM) Everett will be in LF in place of Podsednik. Rowand will be in CF and could be leading off unless Ozuna is at SS in place of Uribe. Podsednik needs to take a seat today after that butcher job in CF yesterday.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 09:19 AM) Aw crap this maybe shoulda been in that monster all trades thread. My bad. You will not be forgiven. Banish yourself and never return.

Does anyone else think that New York is the only place where the owner of the baseball team gets a 12 page pull out birthday issue?

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 11:23 PM) He did a lot of his spiel on the SomethingAwful forums before his show and was subsequently deemed a f***ing retard. It's only a matter of time before everyone who watches MTV wakes up and says the same thing. you think way too highly of the MTV viewers, Cerbaho.

LOL Stuart Scott just called Juan Uribe "ooooreebee"

time for Crede to swing at everything 3 inches off the ground

Wow, Carl got away with one there.

Damn, Tadahito got rid of that quick

Come on brandon, show those SF scouts what you are made of

The Book on Paul Konerko must read like this: Throw the first pitch in his wheelhouse, he wont swing. f*** around with breaking balls for the rest of the at-bat, and let him get himself out. Im sick of watching him let the best pitch go, so frustrating.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 04:48 PM) Smart money is on the knife-throwing 'Nam Vet heroin addict rabbit and the misogynistic walrus. Pepe the King Prawn, you don't have a prayer. LOL, didnt the rabbit think he had AIDs until the very minute before he was blown away? I thought the fly was hilarious too, the gossip fly.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 04:17 PM) He is hurt also. They moved Cuddyer over to 2b. thier whole infield is a mess. Punto was hurt, Rivas was hurt, Cuddyer is hurt, Williams is hurt, Tiffie has been moved back and forth, Bartlett was already sent down. They need to make some sort of move. But that aint my problem!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) Burnett and Schmidt wont be there by the deadline. Boston/Baltimore will make a run at either. Cuddyer got hurt today. Hit by a pitch. They took him for xrays. If he is hurt and out for a while, the twins will have to make a move. They cant rely on Terry Tiffie as a viable 3rd baseman. havent they been starting some Williams kid there anyways?

Did Joey Grahams twin brother get drafted?

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 02:45 PM) Alien. Nice. Oh, that's not racist. LOL, now Im racist. I was making a reference to a discussion that was had last night when Leo Nunez made an appearance, and his picture was posted on the board. The kid is not photogenic. He looks like he is from outer space. Now I am off to a lynching, thankyouverymuch......

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) The Cubs are not a good hitting club. We made them look special though on Saturday. When did they face LAA? Was it during Vlad's DL stint?. I'll give you Colorado and Baltimore though. Cubs have the 6th best batting average in the league http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/aggreg...t=0&season=2005 they are anything but a bad hitting club

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 03:34 PM) Take a look at the Yankees for what happens if you keep trading all of your prospects. They've got a lot of old guys on their roster, and no one in the minors. They have no one that can really help their major league team, and no real ammo to add another player in a trade. They're pretty much stuck with what they have. And the Sox can't afford to keep adding FA veterans like the Yankees do to replace them. Not all of them pan out, but those that do are of upmost importance, especially for a mid market team. How many World Series have the Yankees been in since 1996? How many AL Championships? How many times have they gone to the playoffs? How many times did they win their division? The Yankees have gotten the short end of the stick this year, but they have no problem mortgaging the future for the present, if the present means a World Series. Most importantly, the Yankees have put themselves in a position where their minor leagues arent as important any more because "everyone wants to be a Yankee", and they can stack their team in the offseason. I dont think the Yankees are the example you want to give when proving that you should not trade away your prospects. And the season isnt even over yet, I wont kick dirt over the Yankees until the playoffs start and the Yankees are officially out of it.

I read earlier that the rosters were possibly expanding to 14 players instead of 12, is this true?

This will probably get a few laughs, but I seriously think my fellow alum Darren Brooks from SIU will get a serious shot. he may be on the short side (6'3") but the kid is absolutely muscled and was a 2 time MVC player of the year and defensive player of the year. He averaged about 6 steals a game it seemed like, and he was money in the bank when the game was on the line.

Even though everyone is saying Schmidt might be hurt and he was last year and this and that, look at the numbers. Schmidt still pitched 225 innings last year with a 3.20 ERA. Hernandez career high, when he was HEALTHY was only 214 innings. Schmidt is a horse, and Hernandez is a big game gamer, nothing else really. If you look at the past three years without even knowing the names, who would you want? The pitcher that is averaging 200+ innings a year, or the pitcher who didnt even pitch two years ago, barely pitched 80 innings last year, and barely 90 innings 3 years ago? Whats the point of having a "Big Game Pitcher" if he is on the DL more than he is active?

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 02:28 PM) Career wise I don't know. I think Duque has a better ERA. Past few years, I'll give you the argument that he's better. As far as right now, Schmidt= or > El Duque, but they aren't far off in comparison as of right now. Nope, Schmidt has a career ERA of 3.90 and El Duque has a career ERA of 3.96. El Duque http://www.baseball-reference.com/h/hernaor01.shtml Schmidt http://www.baseball-reference.com/s/schmija01.shtml

One thing about Peter Jackson, he is good at doing things on a grand scale.....well he was on LOTR at least
