    Err... on Baseball Tonight they were saying he's hitting over .400 in his last 7 games...

    Lots of singles. No RBIs or steals or anything. He is killing my fantasy team.

    Also can we finally admit that Carl Crawford isn't a great player?

    Farnsworth sucks, as theorized.

    I was driving down I-69 listening to the 7th on and it took all I had not to just run it into a ditch.

    Crawford has failed to hit his ceiling. It's too bad but yeah, he's a good but not great player.

    Also, why are you relying on Ichiro for RBI? The lack of steals sucks but he's never been a big RBI guy, especially because that lineup is awful. If you're going to draft him, you should rely on him for AVG (which he's failed to do this year, sadly) and some steals but not much else.

    I was just looking at his numbers, and it looks like he has a lot of steals compared to other years. He averages 40 steals a year and as of right now he has 35. His AVG and SLG are low this year, along with RBI, but his Runs look right on target. Yeah, and as a leadoff hitter I wouldn't ever rely on him to get RBI...

    There is nothing worse in the world than going to bed thinking you are going to win a game, and you wake up having blown said lead to the worst team in the majors.

    Now I've had my fair share of waking up to victories that maybe shouldn't have been, but you can't lose this game if you want to hang with the big boys. Especially if it's fucking SEATTLE.

    Ugh.

    its really one of the best perks about being a cubs fan. It then inspires hot girls to be cubs fans because they see thats what they are supposed to do. So then you're at a bar and some hottie wants to talk about the cubs. Though usually all they say is that Mark prior is cute...

    thats STILL what they say...

    I would always 'accidentally' say "I'd like to fuck her!... I mean baseball!'

    and by always I mean once and then I'd be fired. but it would be legendary. to me at least.

    OK, I'm willing to acknowledge that Jason Bay can be as productive as Manny Ramirez, but so far he's actually managed to be more entertaining than Manny.

    You know, I find this amusing, because the Cubs don't have this problem.
    They really, really don't have this problem.
    Also, according to an expert on Chicago sports history (my mom) the cameramen used to focus more on gorgeous girls under the reign of Harry Caray. Chicago skeeviness has a long and vibrant history.
