5/2 Pirates (Duke) @ Cubs (Guzman) 1:20 WGN x 2; XM187

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Pierre just has to be able to throw the ball harder than that. I could've made that throw without stopping and crow-hopping like that.

Can I ask him why this team sucks so much, or does it have to be a question about him?

[Jake]

Can someone find our missing offense ......

Right field for the Pirates! :lol:

his arm is made of pudding

[Banedon]

I think I'd rather have Jerome Williams... :?

 

Because he was pitching so much better?

You can ask anything as long as it's within the guidelines. One of the questions I asked The Riot yesterday was about playing for Dusty Baker.

We suck? We are holding our own dispite having 3 rookies in our rotation. What do you want?

I'd like to interrupt all this talk about how much the cubs "suck" to remind the board that the Cubs are 14-10.

 

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Well he's shown the ability to pitch better at the ML level. And Guzman does not have the control for that.

 

But ideally, I want my Prior and Wood back. :(

[USSoccer]

We're going to win this game.

 

Just an FYI.... :D

Jerome Williams as a starter pitched better than Rusch, and that's not saying much.

 

Remember that Marshall didn't pitch too well in his first couple starts either but he's doing well right now. Let's give Guzman a little time. I mean if Rusch can get five starts, why should Guzman not be given the same liberty?

78 pitches through 4? I smell a Glendon sighting! Batting practice is open Bucco's!

We specifically suck vs. LHP right now. Aram absolutely has to pick it up.

[RyCubsFan]

Guzman has been known for his outstanding control throughout his minor league career. I think he's still trying to find it after so a long layover due to injuries. I don't think that he's a pitcher that will always struggle with control...if that's any consolation.

I'd rather stick with Guzman at this point as well.

[RyCubsFan]

We need to get on the board. With the Pirates bullpen, this isn't over....but we need to start chipping away.

[C.C.]

Anyone else feeling a complete game shut out by Duke today?

The Pirates are going to forfeit? Why?

[RyCubsFan]

Someone teach Ramirez how to slide please.

[da bears]

Come on Murton.

[soccer10k]

That was one of the ugliest slides I have ever seen.
