Derrek Lee Total Sploogefest Love-a-Thon Thread

[Brian]

Thinking back, I might be wrong.   Lee did it another time in the eighth and then LaTroy threw it off the guy's helmet to cost the Cubs a win.  The Cubs probably are about 11-25 without Lee. 

You make the call about how many Cubs wins were a derrekt result.

I was surprised to see SportsCenter pass on mentioning or showing video of Lee during their "who's gunna win the Triple Crown" bit earlier today.

Derrek now has 999 hits.  Thinking back to Walker last season, expect a two week drought.

Not going to happen.  He's Bonds-esque right now.

I vote D-Lee for Emperor. And Neifi! for his loyal aide-de-camp. Amazing....

[HollywoodCubbie]

This man is single handedly keeping Dusty Baker employed... and I am very willingly eating my mean mean words about Neifi from early May. If he can just keep this team CLOSE until August, when we get Wood, Prior (maybe), Nomar (maybe) back... a little trade of one Corey Patterson for a willing leadoff hitter... this season may not be lost. Especially if we all get Koronk'd every 5 days. But D.Lee is gonna be in this triple crown chase for quite a while. He's one of the most complete players in the league.

He needs a nickname!

How about D-Lee?

I thought it was Rodan.

I'm going with D-Leecious.

Yeah that's not gay.

[Denny Crane]

Question: When are managers going to quit pitching to him in the 9th inning when the game is on the line?

[Chuck]

Sure it's gay.  It's also the best I could thin of.

Answer: Why discourage them from doing so.
