Stupid Weeks

"This is why Major League Baseball does not need instant replay, because then every single play will then be reviewed." -- Joe Morgan, 5/18/08, referring to an umpire ruling a Carlos Delgado homerun foul when replays showed it hit the foul pole.
First!
that was a big out
’’If somebody had told me we were going to lose Soriano for eight weeks, lose [Carlos] Zambrano and Kerry Wood for a couple of weeks apiece, and then at the same time lose [Reed] Johnson, and then when we played the American League not have a DH [then-injured Daryle Ward], and be in first place by two games, I’d tell you we were pretty fortunate.’’ Lou Piniella (7/23/08)
not so much

Not so much first...
Let my ashes blow in a beautiful snow from the prevailing 30 mile an hour southwest wind...
When my last remains go flying over the left field wall, I'll bid the bleacher bums adieu,
And I will come to my final resting place, out on Waveland Avenue. --Steve Goodman

OK EVERYBODY
Just so you know——The Homeplate ump called a BALK when Weeks stole. Dont believe me? I have it on DVR?
"Hey.....Cubs win!!!" ---Harry
"Swung on belted!!!"---Chip
EVERYVODY READ MY POST
He called a BALK. Its embarrassing that we all missed this.
"Hey.....Cubs win!!!" ---Harry

"I'll play any day. I don't care if I'm 0-for-30, playing baseball is my PASSION. I'll go out and play." - Geo Soto

I just replayed it again. the ump ripped his mask and yelled BALK
"Hey.....Cubs win!!!" ---Harry
"Swung on belted!!!"---Chip
Alright, calm it down
It’s annoying how much you care about this. Who cares?
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
Whatever
The 3 umps missed and the other ump ignored it and no one noticed it. if CWYERS was here he would cry stats. Not a stolen base A BALK BALK BALK BALK I CARE I CARE I CARE ICARE
"Hey.....Cubs win!!!" ---Harry
"Swung on belted!!!"---Chip
It's not more "it," but more "you"
Look at what you honestly replied with. Good Lord, let it go. And the fact that you had to post about it twice in two unrelated nests. Grow up.

Wood isn't close to return from blister
from ESPN(in a new window)
Piniella said he hoped that the righty might pitch in a simulated game as early as Wednesday, making his return from the DL unlikely during Chicago’s four-game set in Milwaukee…....”The healing will be there when he’s ready to pitch,” Piniella said of a potential timetable for Wood’s return. “It looks better, but he’s obviously not feeling well enough to pitch.”
Honestly, I’m not too upset about this. I think us fans need to remember how plagued Wood has been with injuries. If he needs to rest a little bit because of a blister - and in doing so, rest his shoulder - then I’m all for it.
"I think Hendry still has a few years to serve on his 'grand larceny' sentence before he can shop in Pittsburgh again" - ballhawk
Exactly...we need him most in September and October.

pedroia is a much better player, but hey, i like fonty too

who cares about ba and steals?
but defense yeah, pedroia has a big advantage.
"Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball." - Jacque Barzun
steals ok
but i’d say BA is pretty important – he hits a lot of doubles, and has i think 11 homers – i live in boston and watch him play a lot, he is really good
"I'll play any day. I don't care if I'm 0-for-30, playing baseball is my PASSION. I'll go out and play." - Geo Soto
Oh I agree he's better than Fonty...
And he’s having a great year so far. But I like Fonty’s power more.

Evey Hammond: Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici. V: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
it would be nice if we can have 5+ guys bat in the 6th
and grind up CC, because if Soriano can come up in the 7th with men on base, I think that will spell the end of CC’s night.
I may be asking for too much…nah. Let’s see the middle of the order get some hits…they are due for a good night.
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!
Kinda Off Topic...
I just noticed on MLBTR they mentioned Eyre as a possible top lefty reliever target for a few teams. Is there any chance we get something of actual value for him or is his time on the DL/lack of use killed all value?
I think he has value.

It really depends on what you're doing...and what you want out of the brand name.
I run Vista NATIVELY inside of OS X, specifically so I can run a statistical program, and can easily drag-n-drop files between one operating system and another. Everything on Macs works…not ifs, ands, or buts about it. My battery consumption is vastly superior to other Windows machines, my system powers up and down faster than others, and anything a Windows computer can do, I can do.
Dan
Evey Hammond: Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici. V: By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.
That was my "Macs are great" portion
I’m in a bioinformatics laboratory, and it’s so much easier to run programs I want on a Mac than a Windows; Leopard makes things soo easy. Jeeze, i couldn’t even run a program in Windows that I solved in about half an hour with Leopard; it’s so user-friendly it’s almost a joke. But if you’re actually smart with installing anti-virus programs, and not doing any programming, and tight on money, Windows could be the better choice.

I bought a refurbed MacBook Pro...
...and this website really helped me out:
http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/
What I did was this: I waited until right after newer MBP models were released, and there was an influx of refurbed “older” models. Prices went down immediately (because the newer models were out), and I basically got a steal of a deal on a the older model – but it was only older because the newest model had just come out.

Agreed.
And then Fielder makes a great play on Theriot’s shot down the line.
Should have held Lee at 3rd. Maybe Theriot’s ball gets past Fielder.

doesn't the third base coach know that the guy on deck is a guy who has been batting
lead-off or second for the team much of the year (not a typical 7 hole hitter). TheRiot is a good contact hitter. He would have been good in a bases loaded one out situation. What can you do…momentum changes with those plays, as we are now seeing. :-(
