  2. It would not surprise me if we end up facing Lee or Hamels that night....although maybe the marketing folks have already looked at how the Phillies' rotation might be set during that series.
  3. I'd still pick him up and jettison Lopez, who has a fork sticking out of his back. Hairston/Counsell/Wilson are good to handle 2B until Rickie rejoins the team.
  4. If I can find a picture of Yuni doing that "grizzly bear roar" thing the team has been doing when they get hits, I'm making it my avatar.
  5. I guess the bright side is that we've been getting extremely lucky on the injury front. Weeks will be back, sounds like Gomez should be back, and Hart didn't break his hand. Marcum sure scared me tonight but it was just cramps. God is a Brewers fan.

  7. Well, when there's only 30 teams, somebody has to be #30. Thankfully, we have top-5 players at LF, 1B and 2B to balance it out.
  8. I really don't want this to happen, for fear that Plush will let his emotions get the best of him and do something stupid.
  9. Outfielders (5) Braun Morgan Hart Gomez Kotsay Infielders (7) Fielder Weeks Betancourt McGehee Hairston Counsell Lopez Catchers (2) Lucroy Kottaras Starting Pitchers (4) Greinke Marcum Gallardo Wolf Bullpen (7) Axford Rodriguez Saito Hawkins Loe LOOGY Narveson I don't trust Estrada anymore. Would like them to acquire a LOOGY before the waiver deadline. Also, would trade out Lopez for a better bat if one became available (Giambi/Matsui/Burrell/etc.), but that's wishful thinking and seems unlikely at this point.
  10. Would be fine with 1-2, as most others have said. Thursday night's game seems like another of those "playoff atmosphere" affairs. It's on national TV as MLB Network's game of the week (Costas and Jim Kaat on the call) and now the pitching matchup is Yo vs. Carpenter. I know for the players it's just another game, but I really hope the Cards don't take the first two of the series...too much tension for me if they have a chance to tie on Thursday.
  11. She's only 17!!! http://www.millionaireplayboy.com/mpb/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/seven_leasttv_05.jpg
  12. The search for a competent power bat off the bench continues... Speculation from Andrew Baggarly (Giants beat writer) that Burrell could be released. His slash line is actually not that bad - .233/.342./.419 (.761 OPS), and definitely can still hit bombs...only 34 years old, too. I hope the Crew performs due diligence.
  13. False. http://a.onionstatic.com/images/articles/article/25718/wooderson_jpg_300x1000_q85.jpg
  14. "He’s just thankful it fell on an off-day, instead of crashing into a sidewalks crammed with Cardinals and Cubs fans." A man can dream, can't he?
  15. He doesn't even have good lefty splits. .780 OPS against lifetime, .888 OPS against (.380 OBP against) in 2010. This is dumb.
  16. Bold assumption. There are people on this board who still misspell Nyjer, and it's been 4+ months.
  17. You're absolutely right...I'm assuming that the rehab will be closer to 6 weeks. Hope for the best.
  18. I'm pretty sure that all we'd need to do is DFA Wilson and add Giambi. In order to be eligible for the postseason, you have to be on the 25-man roster as of 8/31 or on the DL. Since Weeks and Gomez should still be on the DL at that time, we really have 27 men who could be considered. When Weeks and Gomez are ready to play in September, rosters will have already expanded and they can join the team for the remainder of the regular season with no accompanying move.
  19. Recently read a post on MLB Trade Rumors about how the Phillies were close to landing Giambi before he got injured, and how they may pursue him in August as a waiver deal. However, since Philly is lowest priority in waivers as they have the best record in the NL, I'm wondering if you all think he is worth putting in a claim. Obviously, he's not stealing any starts from Fielder. But I am a big believer in having a guy on the bench who is a threat to homer at any time. Giambi certainly fits the bill. Here's how I would ideally set a playoff bench: - A defensive stud OF (Gomez - get well soon) - A versatile IF/OF who can hit (Hairston, Jr.) - A backup C (Kottaras) - A veteran "singles hitter" with patient approach (Kotsay - listen, I don't like him very much either, but management does and he's not getting DFA'd so just deal with it) - A power threat who can hit the ball out of the park at any moment (Giambi) - Other guy (Counsell/Lopez/Wilson - we all know Craig has the lead in the race because of his local ties and history as a "gamer"). This is based on them going with a 14 player/11 pitcher alignment since the 5-man rotation wouldn't be necessary.
  20. So last season's .300/.366/.460 line in ~400 at-bats didn't do anything for you?
  21. Strawman. Demonstrate the correlation between Duncan and pitching performance. You know, addressing the argument, and using evidence. Well, maybe if you'd said the magic word...
  22. Yes...everything is completely random...we're all just spinning through the world aimlessly...
