Top 9/ 2-2 tie

 

Bases loaded

 

Closser vs Walrond

 

pitch one: pop up!

 

mid 9

 

Who's due up for the Cubs?

 

I think it's Coats, Hoffpauir and EPatt.

 

EPatt-Bomb?

 

Hope so for his sake. Maybe it will make Lou forget about the misplay.

 

Never gets the chance.

It's in-line with what's been going on in MLB. Teams are paying for IP more than anything else. Vasquez is probably good for about 200 average innings a year. I think he compares favorably to some guys who got more than him.

[CubColtPacer]

To have 4 errors and only give up 2 runs-that was a great pitching performance all around today. Good work.

Yeah, I don't see how it's any different from the contracts that guys like Meche and Lilly got.

I don't see how Milwaukee could be the NL Central darling with such unclutch performances.

Definitely about right, given the market this offseason, but that doesn't mean that it isn't ridiculous.

[Chris]

awesome.

 

Good job, Micah!

I don't think the deal is that bad actually.

You're both right. It's less-bad than almost every other contract from this off-season, but ti's still horrible. They're all getting overpaid.
