how about this lineup proves me wrong
except for aaron miles, i have to hate him
He can throw a fastball at 87MPH and make you look like a fool. He can spray lines drives to right field. He can put up with crappy offense and take the loss. He is Randy Wells. He is the most interesting pitcher in the world. Stay healthy, my friends.
Don't worry about it

We are missing Marquis
as a solid 5thstarter. He ate innings and kept the team in the game. Can’t ask much more than that.

great defense up the middle is worth 5-8 wins a year
I’ll take weak hitting 2B and SS all the time for GREAT defense. there are just too many balls that run through the infield and too many relay plays that come through the SS and 2B. Those guys are critical.

not an opportunity to bitch
my point is, you can live with al light hitting second baseman if they make plays like that. We have a very similar player to Quintanilla and he is in the minors for Miles
Actually, Blanco is on the DL
and the only reason to put Miles into the conversation was to provide just another reason to bitch. Which is your right. Doesn’t make it right, though.
by Not Bruce Froemming on Aug 8, 2009 7:33 PM CDT up reply actions
he is on the dl
with a bogus injury. If you want to nitpick thats fine.
I disagree. I think there is a logical comparison between their light hitting second baseman and ours.

hitting the ball well
just not stringing them together. Wainwright looks tough so we could use this one.
he would seemingly
be worth a couple of wins. They would be in the thick of it.
They would have no money to have gotten Lopez
And between him and Looper (his essential replacement) I could only imagine a few wins difference. Plus the Cubs hit CC well.
They’d be closer, but not in first.

doesn't matter to me either way really.
it’s still a joke what he does; the power is only a small part of it. i just don’t like that he does it for the cardinals. i really hope he ends up on the yankees or red sox.

the trivia question answer?
at mile high it was EY, but they opened the year vs the Mets and Dante Bichette hit the first regular season HR…. i just looked it up
even miles
And dempster recoginized a pitcher having trouble throwin strikes. Ryan? Not so much. Instead he tries his Pujols impression.
FAIL!
