Duck-Billed Catechist

Heh!

I heard that the Cubs were DFAing Vizcaino instead of Cotts to bring up Smardizja or however you spell his name.

That's my understanding.

Yeah, because the batting average for balls in play is almost .400 and is most often around .300 over the course of the year for most pitchers. http://www.fangraphs.com/graphs.aspx?playe...7&type=full

Fair enough. For the record, my plan is to resent them.

I'm fascinated that your response is that they're not in true biker gangs...who cares.

It has to do with his successful (read: low ERA) stint in the majors in 2008, but it also has to do with the fact that he played football at nearby Notre Dame. So far as I can tell. Edit: I guess the Cubs have always been high on him because he throws hard. They gave him a lot of money. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2736354

Edit: Been helped. Thank you!

He had a great year in 2005. He had a hitch in his delivery that fooled batters, but he had to get rid of it because it was putting too much pressure on his hip or something.

Ben Gordon is a very bad boy. Edit: And I'm tired of superstar calls.

There's a thread in Speakers Speaking in Code on this. There's a bug in the board software that's allowing PM spammers and IPB is apparently working on it.

Wow. Those dogs remind me of the Christian the lion vid.

When I lived in Rogers Park my dog (a black chow) was a big hit in the neighborhood. People loved him. One woman even wanted a picture of him. One dude wanted to know how old the dog was. I told him and said "But he's a soul brother, right?" and gave the black power salute. Awesome.

He's sitting on your caveman head!

Missing from the story was how a 19 year-old high school student comes up with that kind of scratch when he doesn't think that his broke friends will buy him anything. Heh.

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/9455118...3162&ATT=49 White Sox resign Scott Podsednik. LOL. I assume this as DeWayne Wise's eventual replacement as the fourth/fifth outfielder. He better not be taking away ABs from Brian Anderson--he's not a good fielder.

Try to keep up, Petey!

I was concerned that Carlos Quentin's wrist injury might diminish his power. Apparently not.

It wasn't, but that's the way the cookie crumbles. Obviously I haven't seen the flick.

I didn't think it was that funny when you left.
