Dugout dribbler, huh?

Still – a GIDP by someone other than the Cubs? Alert the media.

it's in a slump

it will come out of it sooner rather than later, and all will be well again.

Come October, we’ll laugh about this.

Perhaps he'll make contact tonight.

By a pitcher with a road ERA of 6

Oof. We are gonna start hitting soon, aren’t we?

by cubmudgeon on Sep 3, 2008 9:23 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

And if he homered

you’d say Lou was a genius.

by Not Bruce Froemming on Sep 3, 2008 9:09 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

on a night like tonight... what are the chances of him hitting his first Hr

Nobody would credit Lou for that.

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

by santoswoodenlegs on Sep 3, 2008 9:09 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I wouldn't.

I’d say McGeehee was very very very very lucky.

McGeehee's MLB line...

Not good. 0-2, K, GIDP.

by zm1217 on Sep 3, 2008 9:08 PM CDT   0 recs

and George Brett was somthing like 0-20 when he started out.

How many guys hit a homer in a first at bat and they were never heard from again?

We still have six outs. Keep the faith!

THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!

heh

I just don’t see putting the kid into such stressful hitting situations is gonna help.

theres a guy called

MICAH HOFFPAUIR USE HIM

by lexmarklover on Sep 3, 2008 9:08 PM CDT   0 recs

He's not good against lefties

Glad you aren’t managing the team.

by Not Bruce Froemming on Sep 3, 2008 9:10 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

He's probably better than Casey McGehee.

It’s a platoon differential, not a death sentence.

I has a blog. | Ask a sabermagician!

by cwyers on Sep 3, 2008 9:12 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

HE'S SURE AS HELL BETTER THAN MCGEEHEE

AND I’LL PLAY YOUR GAME NOW. WHAT IF HOFFPAUIR HIT A HR, WOULD U BE SAYING THAT ?

by lexmarklover on Sep 3, 2008 9:13 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Don't bother, NBF is a reverse troll.

He only usually only replies to posts that he feels is negative. He almost NEVER comments directly on the action, or gives original insight. He just trolls looking for people who are frustrated and upset and then he pounces on them hypocritically.

Fish in a barrel

And you ane lex are two of the biggest offenders.

And lex, turn down your shouting. You asked a question and I gave an answer.

If you can’t handle it, leave.

by Not Bruce Froemming on Sep 3, 2008 9:20 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

See, you trolled back up to this argument to see if there was anything else that you could add.

Speaking of fish, thanks for taking the bait.

No, I'm multitasking

Had to leave for a while and picked up where I left off.

Go away.

Think I will stay thanks.

I would wager that you are the only person on here who truly thinks I am a troll. I am objective yes, troll/donkey no. I just call you out for the way you behave. And for that, I guess, I am your troll. BUT I am not a troll in general.

Giving people the right to be frustrated since 2007!!! I had a different name then, but I forgot the password and it was easier to create a new one when the site updated. No….I wasn’t banned if that was what you were thinking.

Oh Yeah, I think I will stay….thanks.
