Opinions aren't fact. Stop trying to make them sound like fact.

I think everyone on all message boards does this. you, me, everyone.

We at least get stuff to back it up, though. You're right though, we're all guilty of it. But at least have something to back it up.

I can post an opinion if I want though. Wasn't meant to be a debate, thus I needed no evidence.

His name is Hak-Ju Lee, not Hak Ju Lee. Nice research.

Actually, technically it's not. That's the Americanized version of his name.
Nice work.

Ok, still what they call him though. Except the cubs.com press release mis-spelled it as "Jak Ju Lee"

Going into the season, yeah, you go with the Card offense, but the fact that they have Berkman, who had the worst season of his career and will be 35 this year, and Theriot, who well, I don't even need to go there, really hurts their offense.

You realize thats incorrect right? Last year the Cardinals SS put up a 600 OPS. Theriot last year (in his worst year by far) hit 633. If TLR hits him where they should thats at least a 700 OPS and quite the improvement.

The Cardinals RF (yes RF because thats what he is replacing since Holliday is moving to RF) put up a 789 OPS. In Houston last year Berkman put up 808, and had the worst BABIP of his career.

The Cardinals offense got BETTER not worse with the addition of those two.

Defense is another subject but offensively its a better team.
