July 22, 200719 yr Guy is FARRRRRR from being back... Well what is it you would like from the guy? Even with all the strikeouts he's putting up equal or better OPS than last season if he continues at the same pace. This is as good as he was last season. Lower on-base & higher slugging just reinforces the idea of him needing to bat 5th actually.
July 22, 200719 yr I was wondering how long it would take for everyone to start boarding the Uggla train again...
July 22, 200719 yr Guy is FARRRRRR from being back... Last 4 Games: Thurs: 2-5, RBI Fri: 3-5, HR, 3RBI, 2R Sat: 2-5 Sun: 4-5, HR, 3RBI, 2R I guess he is getting there right? But hey who is picky I'll take it.

But hey who is picky I'll take it. Dont get me wrong, hes been swinging the bat much better in these last four games. But the keyword is last 4 games. I would like to see Danny string it together over the next couple of weeks. I mean he is going to have to step it up with Hanley missing some PT. Sometimes it seems its HR, Double, or K... I would just to see him make a bit more contact..
July 22, 200719 yr Guy is FARRRRRR from being back... That is the most asinine statement I've ever read. What do you expect of him?

I would just to see him make a bit more contact.. At the same time Adam Dunn's made quite a career out of just the same thing. Uggla's on a pace to hit 30+ hrs and knock in 100 rbis and he strikes out less than Dunn and hits for a higher average. It wouldn't be the worst thing for this team to have a 30hr/100rbi second baseman for the next five or six years they can count on even if he's a perennial .250-.265 hitter.

You make a solid point, However, you cannot compare Uggla to Dunn at this point.. Uggla has yet to play in 2 FULL seasons As for whats I bolded.. I will take that anyday your right... But we'll have to wait and see if Uggla can do that, hopefully he can

Except we weren't discussing walks and OBP (and why am I not surprised) - we were discussing doubles, homeruns and strikeouts which is as far as the analogy went.

Dunn wouldn't be anywhere near as valuable minus the walks. To say he has made a career our of striking out, hitting homers, and doubles is misleading, since if thats all he did he wouldn't be as valuable as he is. You're hatred of Swift is causing you to make stupid posts.

You're hatred of Swift is causing you to make stupid posts. And your excuse for your stupidity is...? If you actually read the what took place above another poster made a comment, I responded with a "simple observation" and we came to together finding some basic agreement. And you'll notice as Swift is famous for doing here, he ignored where I said it was a..."simple observation and nothing more". You may be someone who "hates", you seem the type, but I don't hate Swift. I loathe him. More than that I pity him, and most times I laugh at him. As I do you.

The whole "Wah wah Swifty ignores me" bit is getting mighty old...
July 23, 200719 yr The whole "Wah wah Swifty ignores me" bit is getting mighty old... Someone will have to translate this for me, it makes no sense and is barely english so all I can think is it's the ravings of lunatic child who isn't taking his meds. Mommy take you off your Ritalin for the summer or something? As for Swift "ignoring me" you might notice how Swift had to go all the way back to March to find something I said in a game thread in attempt to embarrass me so I'll leave to others to decide who is after who. My guess is most people would say Swift is the one with the obsession. You don't see me quoting some of Swift's ridiculously wrong comments in my sig, rather I use the space to quote people who really know something about the game and are worth looking up to.
July 23, 200719 yr You are adorable. Can you add me to your "e-hit list"? I want you to innanely attack my every post. Please, please do it.
July 23, 200719 yr He still isn't a number 2 hitter. And that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Yup, miscast definitely does not equal bad.
July 23, 200719 yr The Ignore feature is an excellent feature. Admin and I had a discussion about it a few months ago. Its a feature that isnt used enough. I actually made the suggestion to penguino to add me to his ignore list. My MB.com experience has been 10 times better since I no longer have to listen to the majority of his pompous, megalomaniac horse sh*t. I think its a great idea for Swift and M2003 although I must admit some of their 10 round bouts are/were the stuff dreams are made of.
