Finally, a Dusty post game comment that I can agree with, "The month of August has been horrible."

 

Personally I thought the whole season was horrible, except for about a week in June (I think it was June anyway).

Agreed.

I just became an "everyday player" with my 25th post. Just call me Nefti. On second thought never mind.

[Chocolate Milk]

Complete game 1 hitter for the loss! SOLID!

[JGalt73]

Value Over Replacement Player (VORP) - roughly runs contributed:

 

Burntiz 19.4

Neifi 14.3

Hairston 6.7

 

When adjusted for playing time the order remains the same.

 

Interestingly, Neifi's now a top 10 NL SS in VORP...

 

Why is that interesting? That means he's at the bottom of the barrell.

 

Thanks. I really was getting perplexed by his high ranking. I'd forgotten that I'd excluded the AL! (Neifi is 20th in MLB in VORP)

I wasn't paying real close attention today.

 

Who got the hit?

 

lead-off single by Hairston.

 

In the first inning?

Yep....it went a little more than half way to third and the third basebaseman couldn't pick it up to throw Hairston out.

This should make everybody feel better.

 

The Twins had 13 hits today and scored just as many runs as the Cubs did in a 1-0 loss to the Royals, who only needed five hits to score their run.

Very little in Rusch's recent starts give me much confidence about this one. Hill should be getting this start.

 

I hate to say, "I told you so," but I did.

[Mark Priors Calves]

What a pathetic performance. October can't be here soon enough.

[Omar]

I think Rusch forgot how to read. Maybe he should look at his uniform and realize that it doesnt say "Milwaukee."

[TruffleShuffle]

Well it's good to know that when my fantasy teams need a good start from one of their pitchers (Derek Lowe), the Cubs are always happy to comply.

[erik316wttn]

So if not for a lucky ass single, we're no-hit today.

 

by Derrick freakin Lowe.

 

Sometimes I even think I could pitch at least 7 innings of 2-run ball against this team.

HAHA. Good work at putting it to perspective. Derek Lowe has sucked all year.
