Bottom of 6th - Cards screw up the pickoff play, now 2nd and 3rd

Let my ashes blow in a beautiful snow from the prevailing 30 mile an hour southwest wind...

I’ve watched him play, and looked at the stats. I’ve tried to be very open minded. But to say he’s been more valuable than edmonds and derosa is sick.

I think it's a backlash against all the Theriot love

My take is that he is neither (a) as good as the lovers think nor (b) as bad as the haters think. Thus, someone posts something about how great he is, someone responds with how much he sucks, positions harden, no one sees the reality.

Yeah, I know what you mean

But - and I hate this phrase - sometimes you have to tip your cap … and it’s not like Dempster stunk today, either.

Still three innings left, though. And we’ve already seen what the Giants bullpen can be like.

Paging my friendly neighborhood SABRmetrician...

‘Splain this:

Riot has more PAs than DeRo (387-358), a higher OBP (.396 – .378), and he normally hits at the top of the order - in front of the big RBI guys - but…

DeRo has scored 56 runs to Riot’s 52. That doesn’t make sense! What’s going on?

(FWIW, DLee has 63, Dome and Ramy 59 each…)

It just seems weird that the “table setter” (who hasn’t missed many games) is only fifth on the team in runs.

Maybe there is no logical explanation?

A Thought On Lincecum

I read the SI article and apparently he’s always talking to himself about his mechanics, always thinking on the mound. So would it behoove the Cubs to do stuff like call time-out, go back to get new bats, ask the ump to make Lincecum take off his necklace, and other things to break his concentration?

He is not scheduled to take batting practice agin until Houston

If that goes well, he is going to be encouraged to take a minor league stint once his wrist is fine. So given that math, it sounds like he misses at least 2 series if not 3 after the break. I thought I heard Lou say he was hoping to have him for our first home stand.
