7/15 Cubs(Wood) vs. Pirates(Fogg) 1:20 CSN. Puhleeze

[Hoosiercubbie]

As hard as it is to believe, the Cubs went down to their last batter before striking out. When's the last time that happened?

[Coach C]

Glendon up to pitch.

 

1 down.

[goonys evil twin]

Does anyone have ESPN and know what Stone said about it? I know if he had CHip to feed off of, it probably would have been something sarcastica about the cubs like "Oh now Jerry Hariston hits a Homerun and somehow he thinks he has turned into Hulk Hogan"

 

The whole booth made light of the situation. They pointed out that Jerry started the yapping contest, and were exactly right. They also questioned Mesa getting tossed. The Cubs don't need people sticking up for them. They need announcers to announce.

Ill repeat my question since a ruckus ensued after I posed it:

 

Did Stoney say anything complimentary about Wood today?

[Coach C]

The last 5 games the Cubs have played.

 

42 runs for the Cubbies

12 runs for the opponent

I did not notice that. He's got to get a fine from the kangaroo court for that one.

[NomarSammy]

Mizzou,

I sure don't ever remembe rStoney ever sticking up for anything the cubs ever did. They were always wrongwhen I was listening.

I just got so sick of the sarcasm!

[Blueheart05]

Well, in light of the fact that both teams had just been warned Mesa's movement toward the Cubs bench was not smart. It was the ump's perrogative to toss him.

[Coach C]

2 down. Time to stand.

Why are people so paranoid about Steve Stone?

 

Yes. He's doing it right now as well.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Stone has been nothing but complimentary about the Cubs. In fact, he may have been a bit too complimentary, suggesting that Hollandsworth is a potential star player and Macias is a very useful player to have on your roster. He was raving about Wood's performance, BTW.

 

I think much about Stone's criticisms are overplayed in the media. He shows none of the residual bitterness that infects Chip Caray.

[Coach C]

Cubs win! Cubs win!

[Flames24Rulz]

CUBS WIN. 5 in a row! Get 6 tomorrow jerks.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Cubs Win!

 

Back over .500.

 

We still suck.

Selective memory.

 

His job is not to defend them. His job is to analyze.

[Brian]

What only won by 10?, i'm unimpressed LOSERS.

[NomarSammy]

THanks goonie--funny how I knew Stoney would have a negative spin on that situation--I am very glad he is gone.

 

You are right the Cubs don't need to have announcers sticking up for them, but I for one am a fan who finds it refreshing to listen to. I like the Cubs and I like to listen to announcers who appear to feel the same!

 

Stone is a jerk[/url]

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

win again tomorrow, idiots.

[XZero771679666304]

Williams is a strter, and he's pitching better than Mitre or Rusch. He has had success at the ML level, and he has a better repetoire of pitches. Rusch is slumping badly, and Mitre is wildly inconsistent. IMO, Williams will better better than both over the long haul.

 

There is far greater success of Mitre succeeding as a starter and Williams as a reliever than Williams as a starter and Mitre as a reliever. Williams isn't pitching well, and his relative success 2 years ago doesn't mean much. He doesn't strike many out, and gives up too many hard hit balls and fly balls.

 

Well I guess I also expect Mitre to be included in any deal for a bat. And I'm sorry, but I think Williams is just a better pitcher. Unless Sergio can develop more pitches, he will always be very inconsistent. Williams has better stuff overall, and if you look at his career numbers, he throws more groundballs than flyballs. Judging him on 3 starts is a bit premature.

I'm actually not paranoid, honestly, I was just curious, and didn't get to watch any ofthe game and I think Stone knows what he's talking about.

[goonys evil twin]

One good sign. They scored early and got a comfortable lead, but they didn't stop there, and scored big again later. A lot of times this inconsistent offense will jump on a starter, but go to sleep against the reliever. So even if they win 6-1 they might not score for the last 7 innings, and they go into the next game more like they played at the end than the beginning of their previous win. That ties in with their OBP issues.

[goonys evil twin]

THanks goonie--funny how I knew Stoney would have a negative spin on that situation--I am very glad he is gone.

 

What negative spin?

 

My lord, this is ridiculous.

There is nothing refreshing about media that sugar coats stories and support one side of the story no matter the truth.

 

 

Steve Stone is a huge Cubs fan. It is blatantly obvious that he still wished he could watch them everyday.
