The Cubs never get to play the Royals, while the Cardinals get to play them 6 times a year.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre popped out to first base

[Sammy Sofa]

Crap...Pierre and Neifi up now? UGH. Use that damn speed and go for the squeeze!

[Soriano12]

baker is too much of a coward to call a squeeze.

[JGalt73]

how is pitcher abuse determined?

 

Pitcher Abuse Points refers to PAP^3, which assigns 0 PAP to a start in which the pitcher throws 100 or fewer pitches and (PC-100)^3 PAP for all other starts.

Great win Cubs! Wow-we doubled off Taveras-was it just a really hard hit ball, or was it quickly turned?

Izturis is actually Wally West in disguise.

[Jon]

What would be a Z start without Dusty having him throw 120+ pitches?
