I know you Cubbie fans got a a little thread going and we(who have won 10 WS since you have even been to one) have our own thread but I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread to talk smack about the this weekends series

PSEUDO-INTELLECTUAL HAMAS JENKINS LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!

Berkman has 1 homerun in the last two months,and Jones has been on the DL twice and his power is much, much lower.

And A-Rod isn't declining, but just happened to have gotten hurt for the first time and has lower OPS, OBP, and a higher K rate. I'm sure that's just a coincidence.

Just thought you should know that.

Lance Berkman is really regressing this year...you know hitting .335 on pace for 30+ HR's and 120 RBI's!!

Oh and that damn Larry Jones, only hitting .370 now...and he's on the DL!? Must be due to age...oh wait, he's been on the DL every year since he was twenty friggin' three!

Ok, a guy hits him prime when he's 27 and slows down at...wait, it doesn't show them slowing down because they scale everything to 600 AB's...

That was reeruned after I went back and really looked at it...

Tristin is a homo, anyways.

Yeah, some bundle of sticks named Bill James said the same thing. He must be full of shit too.

Chipper's power is regressing?!?! He has 18 HR's in 89 friggin' games...that's right where he's always been...

And you're right, Lance is totally regressing...he was in his prime until the all-star break and then his age really caught up to him and his power is just completely gone now! Amazing how that happens!

LOL!

One cold streak and it's because he's 32 (relatively young for baseball players)...

That 34 year old Jermaine Dye is really struggling, too...

Man, it's a good thing EVERY baseball player regresses around age 32...

Hahahaha!

This is hilarious.

[Hootie]

That Jim Thome...shit, his power is really regressing with age!

[Hootie]

man that Derek Jeter sucks too!

Funny how Jones never went on the DL til he was 32, isn't it?

[Hootie]

I'm not even going to mention how awful Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz are...they are way past their primes! So is that Vladimir Guerrero.

He is having the worst year of his career. Do you enjoy making my argument for me, or are you really this dumb?

but those power numbers sure are regressing! I mean, .370 and 18 HR's in 89 games...he's really losing a ton of power! He'd be on pace for like, 34 HR's! That's like, not even close to that career 31 HR's he averages!

I know, man! Look how much he's regressed! It's sickening...

They need to cut his ass...sure, he had identical years in 2002 and 2004...but he's just too old now, totally useless.

[Hootie]

and Bobby Abreu...yikes man! He's way past his prime!!!

those 15 HR's, 76 RBI's and 14 SB's aren't right on track to his career numbers or anything...

HANG 'EM UP, BOBBY!

The same Ortiz who his 22 fewer homers in his age 32 year, or the one who is hitting .250 this year?

The same Manny whose homer totals decreased by 10 and then by another 15 the last two years?

The same Vlad whose .OPS is down 100 points this year?

Are you this dumb?

[Hootie]

I don't even want to talk about Magglio Ordonez...that fool hit .363 at age 33...he's down .45 points this year at age 34...at this rate, he'll be hitting in the negatives in 5 years or so!!!

YOU'RE DONE MAGS

['Hamas' Jenkins]

You know, Hootie, it's amazing how well all those teams who bought championships like the Yankees did, have done. Except for the fact that the core of those Yankees teams were brought up by Stick Mitchell through the draft.

Just keep signing 32 year old free agents and giving up 1st rounders as compensation. Please.
