MLB Thread Number 3, 2007

Let's see how you like it in July.

 

Only after bar time, Zeke. We have better control the rest of the day.

 

It's why I cautiously phrased that post, as opposed to going the hyperbole route.

 

It's going to take a lot to earn that price tag, but Meche has been very good and he has always had the stuff to be effective. Consistency is one thing. Sometimes pitchers just find that as they mature. So maybe he has figured out how to be consistent.

Now let's see him stay healthy.

 

I guess we all look pretty smart now for having told our readers that Gil Meche and Jason Marquis would be the top pitcher signings of the off-season.

 

They are not comparable in the two most important categories, ERA and WHP

 

That you are celebrating, revealing your utter lack of knowledge as you behave as if the stats comparing the Brew and the Padres ARE close?

It may be irony.

 

It's May 10. Stats for relief pitcher in particular can be way out of whack this early.

Are you saying better just for the first month and nine days of the season? Sure. Are you saying better taking that and recent performance coming into the season into account? Then you have to put Hoffman and Meredith in the same class because neither of them had stretches last year in which they were so bad they got demoted from their bullpen roles.

 

If peeing your pants was cool, I'd be Miles Davis.

 

The White Sox have six regular players who have 85 or more at bats. When you consider that these six players are hitting a combined .228 - its amazing the White Sox have managed to be at .500

 

Good God, the Twins can't hit a fucking thing.

 

Forget waiting on the sale to go through. The Cubs should hold off on the extension for Zambrano until he stops pitching like shit.
