oh so eggy
you’re so eggy
and eggy
you’ll stay….

When I was single, always felt like I HAD to have a boy….i did end up with a boy first, but my girl has been a tremendous source of joy and pride….the bad news is as they say: with a boy you only have to worry about one johnson, with a girl you have to worry about ALL of them.

I feel like i quoted him here without his foreknowledge. If folks REALLY want to know, I can e-mail it to you.

I honestly believe that since there had been so much ink about wanting lefty power at CF that he may be trying to go for the downs too often…he’s hitting about .170—but I believe has 3 HR’s. Since breaking stuff eats him alive, it seems like he’s hoping to hit first ball fast ball.

The good news is that he’s fouling off a ton of breaking pitches, but I don’t think he’ll be a force at the next level unitl he can lay off of more of them. He did work the count on a couple AB’s and didn’t appear to be over swinging.

He seems to be a very high strung guy emotionally.

The owner of the Sounds franchise is a schmuck named Al Gordon who has an office in Hinsdale, Il near Ogden and York if you know that area. He is not beloved by any of us locals or by city government. We were THAT close to a new riverfront stadium and it fell apart with the developer and Sounds mgmt pointing fingers. Judging by the reaction of Nashville’s mayor and that of another local mayor—they balme Gordon and don’t trust him at all.

I had season tickets for a couple years and feel their pain. The scoreboard works now, for the most part-it’s so old that finding drivers etc to keep it afloat are difficult. Nashville’s sport funding allocation is tied up with 2 other pro franchises-the Titans and Predators-this a problem Memphis and Chattanooga don’t have. I’ll never forget the Tom Hanks line-the first thing he says to Helen Hunt in Castaway after being found” so let me get this straight—we have an NFL team now but it’s in Nashville?”

I do pull for the Grizzlies by the way!

we all knew you’d post virtually the same thing again lower in the thread to bait more people into your silly arguments.

the scout told me he’d swung at the first pitch in 8 of his first 11 ab’s in this series.

Yeah, that really showed us, huh.

He swung at 8 of 11 first pitches and he has a very tough time with breaking stuff. He did NOT say that he’ll NEVER be an MLB player. He said Von Joshua was highly respected in MLB as a hitting coach, which is good news for our farm system.

The Edmonds/Pie war has two very stubborn factions opposing one another and somewhere in the middle is reality. Edmonds has not yet reverted to form from 3 years ago; maybe he will, maybe he won’t. I certainly hope he does because I want us to win. I was the first person with a fan post about whether he was done or not the next day after SD released him. 90% said he was done—things look different as of this morning.

People have a tendency to fall in love with prospects-especially in Cub-dom-but really all over baseball. This same scout told me Jay Bruce struck out NINE times in a recent series before being recalled and that people were going bananas prematurely…..but while we were speaking last night, Bruce hit another one out.

It’s funny how the seasoned baseball guys will lean toward veterans when the money is on the table and the criticism they take for it is relentless. I firmly believe Felix is not ready and that he was given enough of a chance to prove otherwise. But to say he’ll never make it is flat out ridiculous.

eggman?

and Aaaaaardsma

One for the righteous burn, and one for Billy Madison reference.

A simple “wrong” would have done just fine but…

Even you have run out of witty retorts passionately defending Felix “I can’t hit major league pitching” Pie.
