2 years and 160 games left of Jock Jones folks....

Cool Fatty, walk the pitcher.

[sethuel1]

I don't care how much it costs - I want Zito in '07, if not sooner. I'm sick of this half our starters being down crap. Give me a bona fide HEALTHY starter.

 

Did you see Zito pitch on Monday? Wasn't much better then Rusch's start.

 

But, he's so pretty!

 

Note: nothing against you, KatJ. My fantasy commish (a girl) is obsessed with Zito and how hot she thinks he is.

 

Now back to your regularly scheduled butt-kicking.

[CubinNY]

Come back soon Mark, Kerry, and Wade!

[rawaction]

wow. just wow. Where's Ryu and Guzman?

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

boo!!

[C.C.]

Anyone else getting Deja Vu from last year?

[sethuel1]

2004 as a starter =3.50 (16)

2005 as a starter = 4.32 (19)

 

Looks like 4.00 to me.

 

If a 4.00 ERA in 2004/2005 as a starter is mediocre then yes, if not no.

I love absolutes, wrong again. He did have a couple of really bad starts in 2005 but overall he was good. (12 starts out of 15)

Why did we sign Rusch to a two year deal? He hasn't pitched well since 2004.

The genius of Hendry and his love for mediocrity.

 

Wait, are you saying Glendon Rusch is not mediocre?

 

If 4.87=4.00, then you are correct.

thought you meant from just last year. From your post, I get 50 earned runs in 92.35 innings for an ERA of 4.87. Lemme know if I'm reading the wrong column, since they're unlabeled.

In the minors where they belong.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Arroyo walked, Kearns to second

[UMFan83]

Oh well at least we have the beautiful Bud Light bleachers to look forward to!

[Butterscup1679666578]

Good job Fatty.

[AI]

Lets hurry up and get that extension signed for the man who brought us all this.

Why let FACTS get in the way of a good rant?

Leave up to good ol' Badger to pop up as usual. I look at Rusch as a mediocre pitcher and his 4.5era last year is what it is...mediocre.

[da bears]

Just two opposite pitching performances today. One is throwing strikes early in the count and getting strikeouts, the other pitchers are consistently falling behind and thus, getting hit hard.

[nolanwood]

even better Jerome

[illiniguy]

Whew the real cubs are back, I was afraid monday was the team we were going to have all year.

[jaydee]

fat people suck at sports. jerome williams is proof

[C.C.]

Walked the pitcher! :shock:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Encarnacion scored, Kearns to third, Arroyo to second on a passed ball

[cubbyvirus00]

the words terrible and disgraceful come to mind.

[srbin84]

Did Barrett have his eyes closed or something? WTF

[Butterscup1679666578]

Why has no one gone to the mound to talk/yank Fatty?

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

F this. Call the game and come back to the ballpark when ya'll feel like playing. Ridiculous.

[UMFan83]

Good job Bare, way to make it a team "effort"
