A few thoughts...
* Nice listening to you guys as usual.
* One of you mentioned that Rich Hill should show somw emotion on the mound while earlier one of you metioned (Not favorably) Ted Lilly's tantrum in AZ. I had no problem with what Lilly did. He was pissed and he took it out on his glove. I'd rather see that then see a pitcher show up a teammate. As for Hill, face it, It is not in his makeup.
**I think Hill will go back to being good soon but he will never be great cause he lacks that fire plus he needs a shrink. He is a solid #3 starter and I will stand by that. However I suggested at the beggining of the offseason that he should have been included in the deal for the Orioles in order to recive Bedard and I almost got shot. That day we discussed that his 89mph fastball was not enough and that he needed some good ol' HGH or some steroids injected in his body. He will never have the value he had last year...ever again but he will be a good #3 anywhere.
Shaun...I swear you sound just like len kasper. Could you please say [in the next Podcast] with the same emotion as LK.....
Bases loaded, two outs..Soriano at the plate..the pitch...soriaaaaanoooo hits it to right fieeeeeld...It's gonna drooooup !$#@ Mark Derosa is going to scooore....Cubs Win...The Cubs Win the Cubs beat the Rockies!!!
You know what...LK gets excited, a lot! But he is a cool guy.
FEAR THE BLANCO.
