am truly, truly stunned by the high volume of people who seem to think that Jeff Bagwell is going to come in and make everyone adopt the batting stance he used during his career. I mean, really? That's what everyone thinks hitting coaches do? Make the players do it exactly like they did? Really people?

At what point does the intelligence of the fan base correspond to the performance of the team on the field? Didn't Pravata have a metric for that?

By that metric, the Cubs would be getting drubbed every night 12-0 by the Wisconsin School For The Simultaneously Blind And Incontinent.

I think the Cubs have pretty well proven that theorem.

Good thing they have an owner who doesn't mind spending money to have a winning team.

In the lift this morning:

Woman to Man:  "Did you watch any of the All-Star Game last night?"
Man to Woman:  "Saw a little bit."
Woman: [Makes snoring sound] "Nobody scored until like the 7th inning."
Man:  "Yeah, that's why I don't watch baseball much.  At least the NL won again."

They were lucky that I was freshly shaven and in a good mood this morning.

I thought it was a pre-requisite?  Sort of like the marines, first they break you and then rebuild you as a marine?

if bagwells stance where the true secret to hitting coach wouldnt they just buy a bunch of bar stools custom fit to the crouch of the player and teach them to hit from there and then remove the stool and they would have the stance.

I heard Buster Olney (FWIW) on the radio this morning saying the Twins were interested in aquiring Royo.
