santo=dorf Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 (edited) How come we don't have one of these by now? Went to the I-Cubs and Memphis Redbirds game tonight. Lots of Cards fans there. The stadium is really nice, better than Wrigley. Rick Ankiel hit a bomb to RF off of Ryan O'Malley. He also took one deep to center but it was caught right at the wall. It's amazing how far this guy has come. Troy Percival pitched the 8th with a 3 run lead. Gave up a lead off single to Ronny Cedeno, who stole second, and almost got tagged out after he wandered off the base dusting himself off not calling a time out. Percival had a couple of K's, and he was consistently around 89 MPH topping out at 91. Cubs lose 4-1. :fthecubs Edited June 16, 2007 by santo=dorf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 (edited) QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 17, 2007 -> 03:14 AM) Didn't go to the game, but the I-Flubs lost again. Rick FOCKING Ankiel hit 3 more home runs to increase his total to 19. Ankiel has been tearing it up for Memphis this year. He's, hands down, the best player on the team. To think that he could be such a good, young pitcher (until his head got F'd up), and now be a really good position player is pretty awesome. Shows how good of an athlete that man is. I don't think he'll ever make it back to the bigs, but I wish he would b/c he's really a good guy and would be one of the better pitchers in the game right now if not for his mental breakdown after that one awful playoff game.

BearSox Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I think Ankiel could make a pretty good bench player. Sure, his numbers are a bit inflated because he does play in the PCL, but he could provide a lefty bat off the bench with some pop and speed. It is ironic how as a pitcher, he walked everyone, but as a hitter, he never walks. Also, if the team ever needs a pitcher due to overwork or whatever, he'd be a good option to throw out there.

Gene Honda Civic Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Oakland, the team who drafted immediately after us and who was connected with Aaron Poreda, signed their first rounder (a college RHP) and assigned him to AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Max Scherzer was pretty unreal in his 3 high A starts. His numbers: 17 IP, 1 R, 30 K, 2 BB, 5 hits. He's been promoted to AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Funny tidbit I heard this weekend....the Durham Bulls have told the D-Rays that Duke and Delmon Young aren't allowed to play for them again. Thus, if they have to go on rehab, they'll have to go elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
