Baseball Pissing Match

[NavinRJohnson]

Looks like Ted Lilly is going on the DL with shoulder tendenitis. He has he had this in Toronto and only missed a few starts.

It's amazing the Cubs have lost Ramirez, Soto, Lilly, Zambrano, Guzman, Dempster, Miles, Johnson, Bradley, etc all for significant time to the DL and are only 0.5 games out of first. (First place in the loss column.)   

NL Central is truly a suckfest!

Well, now that we're invited, go White Sox!

And here I was about to add a Sox/Twins/Tigers pissing match thread...

In this thread you'll be sleeping along time 

[NavinRJohnson]

I renamed the thread to simply "Baseball Pissing Match" in order to include all teams in the pissing including Chicos' beloved Angels.

There has to be some Cards, Twins, and Chi Sox fans out there. Please join in!

Welcome all pissers!

Does Lance Armstrong like baseball?

I want to piss on TT for changing the name of the longest thread in MUScoop history.

TT = Fail.

You guys want it changed back?  I didn't mean to cause a "Gold" fiasco.

He liked it more when steroids were at their peak

I love all these rumors about Halladay.  There are like 20 a day.  You go to si.com and the main story is that the Phils and Jays are in serious negotiations and it could be done soon.  You go to espn.com and the top story in the headlines is that the Phils won't meat the Jays demands.

MLB Trade Rumors does a nice job summarizing all of the rumors with timestamps.

Cubs bats are coming to life. I realize they played bad teams but the bats were struggling with these same bad teams before.

A spark had to start somewhere...

I like the matchup the next couple series with the stros, marlins, and rockies

Agreed...good teams, bad teams....doesn't matter.  They're starting to hit....every team has to play the same opponents so I don't buy into the good team/bad team thing....any team can beat you on any given night.

Ramirez hitting .563 on the homestand and Soriano .444 since the break....if Bradley can get even lukewarm this team can go on a big run.

That "bust" Harden we picked up last year is 2-0 in his last 3 starts with  21 Ks, 2 BBs and 0.42 ERA in 19 innings.....not bad for a fourth starter.  

[TallTitan34]

Over the break Harden worked with Rothschild to use more of his legs in his delivery.  So far so good as he has had 3 great outings including one against the powerful Phils.

Not sure on exact stats, but the dude has been getting some decent ABs and drawing many walks.  If he is going to get on base in front of a Hot Soriano...I'll take it!

Call me crazy, but I don't think the Cubs can come close to the 2 national league teams above them.

WOOOOOO!  9TH PLACE!!!

[TallTitan34]

I agree the Phils and Dodgers are on a different level than everyone else right now. (Another reason why I don't get my hopes up about a playoff run.)

If the Cubs can continue playing the way they have been against good teams then I'll throw them up on that level. I know they ate capable as almost the same team did last year. 

[MarquetteFan94]

WOOOOOO!  9TH PLACE!!!

Hilarious....EXACTLY my point.....meaningless (please note the teal and rolling eyes).....how many times have you posted rankings and/or standings when the Brewers were in front of the Cubs in MAY?! 

Nice showing by the Brewers tonight....losing by more than a touchdown to baseball's worst team at home....ouch.

[MarquetteFan94]

Ouch....

94, you beat me to the punch, thats the exact post I was going to make once the Brewers fall to 5th.  I still don't know if the Crew will finish in 5th, but its starting to look more and more possible each day.

I did a few times, when we were ranked THIRD.  But NINTH, now THAT is something to be proud of!  GO CUBS BABY!  WOOOOOO!

And you just made two posts...in a row...essentially stating the EXACT same thing.  Congratulations.

Anybody can find one bad game for another team.  Really impressive stuff by you.

I love the Cubs fans hard ons over the first 2 weeks after the break.  The only team with any chance to win a game in the playoffs from the NL Central is the Cardinals, and even they will have a hard time doing that.
