When the guy is healthy, I'd honestly put him #1

Keep in mind that he isn’t even using his most dominating pitch (slider) nowadays; it’s all fastballs and variations of his changeup.

Obviously, he can’t use it because it’s too much strain on his arm, but it’s pretty crazy to think about.

other than that, Mrs. Lincoln

how was the play?

’’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)

i'm confused...

that’s not my name, nor am i a woman… but ok. the 12 pitch thing was sarcastic, hence “settling in” after 7 hits and 6 runs

Guess they don't teach history in school anymore...

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
