Luckily we play in the cupcake division and play all losing teams down the stretch so there is still hope. If they make it to the playoffs, I suspect a quick exit.

So I was pissed off that we didnt make any trades until I listened to Lance on 1530 last night, he made some very valuable points. We have amazing talent in AAA that is absolutely lighting it up... Dickerson is hitting above .400, just brought Springer up, have Isringhausen, have Harang, have Bailey... we didn't make a trade because we can cherry pick the guys that are on rehab assignments and if they dont pan out, its not costing us anything. The best move will be the Dickerson up and Stubbs taken out back and shot... I'm all for that one

... after all whats the point of have a river so close if you cant throw a few crappy players in it??

I listened to Lance yesterday as well. I heard the same thing. That is why I am not upset that we didn't make a move. You have to remember that Adam is an eternal pessimist and will never be happy

Give Adam a gold brick, and he will not be happy that you didn't give him 4 gold bricks

Don't listen to Dan, he is a homer. Always a homer. If we have all this AAA talent, why aren't they helping us? Why is Stubbs still an everyday player if he is batting .229? Like I said, it feels like the perfect storm, in any other division we are likely not even in contention.

Adam, that is one thing, I agree on. Stubbs needs to go down to Loiusville. Bring up Dickerson who is hitting .400

A week ago you were still proclaiming that Stubbs was the 'next big thing'

Just look at every other post and if that fails, just look for the ones that don't have anything to do with sports discussion.
