He's a good kid though. I'm sure right before he dies of an alcohol induced heat stroke, someone will walk by and tell him that Harden is on the DL. He'll die happy ... and most likely drunk.

You guys are all twisted

I like the Harden move a lot but geez the risk...not so much because of Gallagher and the other pieces they gave up, but with Harden as their #2 starter, Wood as their closer, and former closer Dempster as their #3 and a risk to hit the wall throwing so many more innings this year the Cubs are basically playing Russian roulette with their season except with 3 bullets instead of 1. There'd better be rabbits' feet, 4 leaf clovers, and horseshoes all over Lou's office from now 'til October.

So happy that I'll let CTU2 fan's post go and not reply!

I'm fucking psyched.

That's so awesome! I was at an NHL all star game once and as cool as that was this will be 10x better. How are your tickets? Any good?

If Harden stays healthy, then wow, look out.

phanan · 07-09-2008, 05:53 PM

The Sox offense woke up.

After several weeks of polite behavior, Manny Ramirez is back to being a baaaaaaaaaaaad man.

I am watching the replay of the Twins/Red Sox game now. It isn't looking so bad for the Twins right now (top of the seventh)...but I know what is coming.

Too bad Gardenhire got tossed disputing the (completely correct) overturned trap/catch by Span and wasn't around to get tossed disputing the (completely ludicrous) blown infield fly call on Lugo.

CTU2fan · 07-10-2008, 09:49 AM

Manny has looked good the past few days. The results obviously, but he seems to be keeping his head in and driving the ball to the right, always a good sign with him. For awhile his head was flying out and he was pulling off worse than I'd ever seen him.

lazarus · 07-10-2008, 12:52 PM

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

CTU2fan · 07-11-2008, 08:15 AM

So the league leader in HR and RBI doesn't make the AS team...only in the NL.

So...how 'bout those Mets?

He's also the league leader in strikeouts, and couldn't field a beach ball.

Chutley deserved it a lot more, and Burrell should be in too. I don't have a problem with Howard sitting out. Lance Berkman's stats certainly are comparable in HRs and RBI, and Berk's got the better average.

Oh, Fuck The Mets, too.

CTU2fan · 07-11-2008, 09:23 AM

How bad is Howard defensively? I knew he wasn't a good fielder but there's a lot of gray area between "below average" and "close your eyes if the ball's hit to him".

DaveC · 07-11-2008, 10:20 AM

He's mediocre on his best days. He's not cripplingly bad, but he's slow as all hell. I've seen him make a few game-changing errors on base before, but it's not a daily occurrence. Below "below average".

CTU2fan · 07-11-2008, 11:19 AM

Ah OK. Bad enough that he ought to be DHing someplace then.
