The only other Cubs rook I was as excited to see debut was Prior. Can't think of anyone else that prompted as much excitement before his first start.

Not Wood?

 

Wood was highly touted, but nowhere near as much as Prior. I do think Wood was hyped more than Da Gooz, though.

When Wood came up, he was 20. I wasn't excited to see what I felt at the time was rushing him to the bigs prematurely.

Nice. Surely my marketing management professor will understand why I won't be in class tomorrow.

My astronomy professor probably won't, being as she's Indian. But I'll skip class anyway.

 

Now if Angel Guzman was making his cricket debut against Pakistan, she wouldn't be there...

Next time I make an inappropriate joke I'll stick with "Jim Edmonds is gay".

Jim Edmonds is not gay, he's sassy.

Please stop with those Edmonds jokes.

 

I don't see anything wrong with it. There aren't many much healthier ways to take out 97 years of pent up rage.

He's proven he's a big league starter to me over the years despite not making his debut until now.

 

how?

 

His dominating stuff. It's always just been a question of health with him. Watch, he'll be at least better than Marshall if he gets some starts.

yeah, he's got great stuff. but that doesn't mean he's proven his a big league starter. to say that is just giving him way too much credit. he's barely thrown 100 innings above high A. nobody at that level has earned the right to be considered a proven big league starter.

 

the kids on super sweet 16 have earned more than guzman at this point. and that's not to say i don't like guzman...i do.
