Nice.

The Reds of 2009 are light years ahead of where most observers would have believed them to be just a few short years ago. Gone are their bombers, Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey, Jr. Gone are the players of their future, Wily Mo Pena and Austin Kearns.Also gone was their one year wonder, Josh Hamilton.

Rephrased: Gone are Hamilton, Dunn and Griffey, the only Reds players who could hit a baseball during the past two years.

They expect the Cubs to outscore last years team, even without The Pulse? I call shenanigans. The Cubs win no more than 75 games this year, and the Cardinals youth and energy will hand them the division. Houston will be the wildcard. Phil Rogers and Richard Justice have shown me the light.

AOL user Addisonst?  Is that you?

Jay would never say "shenanigans."

It's pretty obvious to me that the Astros planted this story in effort to get the Cubs' guard down so they can launch their surprise attack.  WE SHOULD OF LISTENED TO PHIL ROGERS!

Posted in the RIGHT FUCKING PLACE THIS TIME.

It's nice that he took the time to list each team's personnel additions and losses for us. I just wish he'd gone all the way and done the +/- math for the non-statfags among us.

I'm getting all hung up on this whole 'negative numbers' thing. (It's insane! How can anyone have fewer than zero apples?!)

Join the newest Facebook group: "I bet I can find 100,000 people who support Brian Crozier's bid to become WGN Radio's new Pat-Hughes-5th-inning-blumpkin-break guy!"

(I do hope he would read all the fine print on any such job offer.)

New Brewers manager Ken Macha said he's set to bat Rickie Weeks at the top of the order.

I'm sure some statfaggot will point out that Weeks has a .352 career OBP and tell me why this is a good idea for the Brewers.

Hopefully that person will also point out that Rickie Weeks completely blows and over the last two seasons has struck out 231 times in his last 884 ABs (which equates to 26% of the time.)
