Poetry in honor of the Theriot-Fontenot-Lee double play

These are the saddest of possible words:
Tinker to Evers to Chance.
Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter than birds,
Tinker and Evers and Chance.
Ruthlessly pricking our gonfalon bubble,
Making a Giant hit into a double—
Words that are heavy with nothing but trouble:
Tinker to Evers to Chance.

...for Ludwick with his career stats on it, kind of a reminder of how much he sucks? Seriously.

Is there a way to project what would be "expected" of Ludwick based on his Minor League numbers?

OK, what would you expect from DeRo based on Minor League equivalencies?

I’m not disagreeing with your statement on Ludwick at all—it does seem weird that he’s suddenly an all-star.

It just seems strange that there are a handful of players that aren’t A (or even B+) level prospects that end up being good everyday players, and there are guys like Lopez that consistently underachieve.

Hey, SWL. Outta curiousity...

are you originally from the midwest? That’s how you became a Cub fan?

Yes...from OOOOOOOOOOK...

lahoma!

As I've told you before, I never repeat myself.

Never thought of OK

as midwest – more southwest, almost.

My next sig line quote will also be from Lou Piniella, and the first word will be either "Look", or "Listen", followed by a comma.

makes sense

Gonna give you barley, carrots and pertaters,
Pasture fer the cattle,
Spinach and termayters!
Flowers on the prarie where the June bugs zoom,
Plen’y of air and plen’y of room,
Plen’y of room to swing a rope!
Plen’y of heart and plen’y of hope.

Why Not?

They’ll bat around, with EdMo hitting two bombs onto Sheffield.
