5/14 Padres (Gaudin) @ Cubs (Dempster) 1:20 CSN

[laurens]

At this rate, the inning is going to get capped off with a Theriot GS or something.

 

A 3-run homer will do

[cheapseats]

I hate Aaron Miles.

Is that the biggest inning of the year for the Cubs?

Cubs rookies of the year:

 

61: Billy Williams

62: Ken Hubbs

89: Jerome Walton

98: Kerry Wood

08: Geovany Soto

09: Bobby Scales

 

:)

 

I wouldn't mind starting a run like the Dodgers had in the early/mid 90's in terms of ROY awards.

 

Here's the difference: Their minor league system was good. Ours is not.

[apete6]

This inning is awesome

 

someone kill Aaron Miles though please

 

QFT. Hopefully Scales keeps it up for the next 2 months with Aramis out and they just decide to cut bait with Miles. It's nice that we don't have to make this decision soon. I still think Wells or Cotts will be sent down when Z comes back, not one of these position players.

*ahem*

I'm lovin' me some Bobby Scales... My joy is tempered by the knowledge that Aaron Miles still draws breath wearing Cubs pinstripes

i don't care if they dump miles, but they need to stop playing him almost every day. he blows.

[wekse]

not really sure why reed johnson is playing against a RHP with a career OPS against of .815 against LH batters and .742 against RH.

 

good call

 

beat me to it.

Miles is to Lou as Nefii is to Dusty.

Noooooowwww you can pitch to Adrian

Now I'd plunk him, just to be a jerk.

beat you to making the point that because reed johnson hit a double off a relief pitcher, he should not have been starting against starting pitcher chad gaudin? apparently idiotic minds think alike too.

[Brian]

oh no he got close to his head, better investigate!!

[YearofDaCubs]

Including today Gaudin has had 17 walks in 22IP so far this year.

[erik316wttn]

So you pitch to him when we're up by one, but you walk him when we're up by 6.

 

Makes a lot of sense.

[erik316wttn]

Nice to know Kouske seems to have fixed whatever was wrong last year.

[manbearcub]

wow that was a terrible call.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Nice to know Kouske seems to have fixed whatever was wrong last year.

 

Yeah, just seeing him hit the ball hard is nice

Meh. Mondesi, Nomo, and Holla didn't wind up being all that great. Karros was good but sort of meh as well.

[David]

No real point to that post. I just felt like hating on those guys a little bit for whatever reason.

[erik316wttn]

Bobby Scales is good.

[Careless]

:shock: :D

Breaking News: Bears trade for Jake Peavy per Ron Santo!

[NotSoSober]
