BACK TO BACK JACKS!!

 

Now, Hart.... don't give any back next inning, ok? That would be super.

[Old Style]

FOXY!

[Derwood]

[Vanilla Ice]

I love this team

[David]

GAMEBOARD!

[Old Style]

Oh damn, I'm behind!

 

UNCLE MILTY!

[Sammy Sofa]

Just once...ONCE...I'd like to see this [expletive] team not get back the runs after giving back the runs after a big inning.

[CubColtPacer]

I still don't think he's awful. He'd probably finish the year with an ERA between 5 and 5.25 if he started all season, which is about right for somebody who will likely always be a 6th/7th/8th starter in the majors.

 

What's your definition of awful then if it's not a guy who can't crack a starting rotation?

 

When I'm saying not awful, I'm kind of responding to the thought that the Cubs have to have somebody better than this in the minors. Obviously Hart is not a good MLB starting pitcher. For his role though, Hart is exactly what you expect, maybe even a little bit better. A guy who would be expected to give you a 6 or 7 ERA in that slot would be an awful minor league replacement (and there are several of those around the league).

[Vanilla Ice]

Sneaky power?

[bukie]

Somewhere, on an Astros board, somebody is bitching about giving runs right back after scoring.

Haha, don't hold your breath.

I imagine they are bitching about Cecil Cooper.

So he's not an awful candidate to start 2-3 games a year? I can buy that.

[Vanilla Ice]

Pence sucks at RF at Wrigley

[BCVM22]

awesome

[Banedon]

Earlier, I heard that Ortiz was on steroids, and I was like what? Russ Ortiz is on the juice?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Yup, this will be a football score when all is said and done.

[Sammy Sofa]

SNEAKY TRIPLE.

[B]

Pence is a [expletive]......how many times can you misplay that wall?

[Guest]

FONTY!

 

Everyone is hitting today.

[Derwood]

WHERE WAS THIS OFFENSE IN APRIL-JUNE?
