LamarCheeks Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 My guess is the Cards felt enormous pressure to counter the earthshattering acquisition of Joc Pederson by my Cubbies. LOL! JaybobHoosier 1 Quote
JaybobHoosier Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 I can’t believe they actually did it, and if the speculation that they didn’t give up any of their top 5 prospects is true, this is highway robbery!!! (Disclaimer: they better get that opt out moved back)No doubt. I thought for sure any trade for Arenado would have been a guarantee to lose Gorman.

Brass Cannon Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 This is basically as if somebody were to steal your TV and then you offer to pay their electric bill so they can use it. I am still in shock. Yadi is my favorite current player so I really hope we resign him soon and try to get him one more WS Quote
kreigh8 Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Fernando Tatis, Jr signs a 14 year extension for $340 million in guaranteed money. This extension further cementing what an idiot Kenny Williams can be. Just hurts seeing this as a Sox fan. HoosierAloha and LIHoosier 2 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app In fairness to Kenny, he was the ultimate lottery ticket when he was traded, but when you consider who he was traded for (a washed up James Shields), its unforgivable. Chasing a doomed season after a hot start. I mean Mat Latos was having a career April and he really thought that would continue? JaybobHoosier 1 Quote

The silver lining to that trade was that after Shields predictably sucked, Hahn was finally able to convince Kenny and Jerry that the "win now, reload" strategy was never going to work and the Sox needed a total rebuild. kreigh8 1 Quote
Dalton26 Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Andrew Knapp with a bomb to right field. Phillies lead!! Quote
Hoosierfan222 Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 Looks like Castellanos got the last laugh against the Cards.... Quote
Dalton26 Posted April 4, 2021 Posted April 4, 2021 3 games in and the Phillies bullpen hasn’t self destructed yet. Still don’t like Neris in the closer role tho Quote

Naturalhoosier Posted April 4, 2021 Author Posted April 4, 2021 Astros start the season w/a 4-game sweep of the A's. That's a great start! Law of averages says it won't continue, but it would be nice if it did! Quote

When I was finishing middle school, the manager of the Chicago White Sox was Tony LaRussa. As my kids are off to college and I turn 56, the new manager of the White Sox will be... Tony LaRussa. Will we sign Ron Kittle to play left field? I'm not far behind you in age (52) and grew up very near Chicago, so remember those White Sox well (though I'm partial to the Northsiders). And Kittle is from Gary (where I was born, though I grew up one city over), so I always was a fan. Funny story about him. I lived in Minnesota for a few years in the '90s. Kitty was managing an independent pro team from Schaumberg. They played in the Northern League (back then, it was considered to be about the equivalent to Class A ball; not sure what it is now). Anyway, the Flyers were in Duluth for a series and lost a game in which they played very poorly and made some dumb mistakes. After the game, Kittle marched his players down to the left-field line and made them run sprints across the outfield. This was professional baseball -- not college or high school. I had never seen that before -- thought it was pretty humorous. Stuhoo 1 Quote

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 This is always mind blowing to see what Ted Williams accomplished and what he might have accomplished were it not for the seasons he lost serving his country. Ted Williams’ career stats: 2654 H 525 2B 521 HR 1798 R 1839 RBI 2021 BB AND YET: Lost ages 24, 25 & 26 years to WWII. Lost almost all of ages 33 & 34 years to the Korean War. If you think “Eh, he was 34 anyway”: Hit .345, .356, .345, .388 his first four years after Korea. HoosierAloha, Naturalhoosier, thebigweave and 2 others 5 Quote
