way to give gonzalez and young away for nothing texas... not to mention the classic deal of hafner for einar diaz. No wonder you guys suck ass.
-
none of those other guys at the top have ever won a major...tiger wins going away i'd still give furyk a shot, but yeah tiger is a heavy favorite at this point
-
ugh lifehouse and the goo goo dolls? shoot me now.
-
only took baddeley one hole to piss away his lead... he'll end up +10 or worse
-
another dog crap inning from a dog crap lineup
-
cubs probably couldn't score 5 runs in a week... this one's in the bag.
-
i miss the good ol days when derrek lee hit home runs

Then why didn't Maddux give them the lowdown on Zambrano? They were both on the same team for quite a while, and nobody could hit him yesterday. Because Hill isn't in the same league as Z. Sure he is, but they have a different repertoire. Z is mostly hard stuff, with a heavy sink when he's on. Hill throws two very different pitches and relies on keeping hitters off balance.

Hill has had a few meltdown starts in which he has given up multiple homeruns, that just seems like a part of who he is as a pitcher right now, vulnerable to the long ball. He might be tipping his pitches, but you can't say that for sure. he threw a first pitch curve to cameron, not a bad pitch, and cameron was just sitting on it. The Pads are either stealing signs or know something that no other team does. I wish that Hill was pitching tomorrow against a different team. It wasn't a terrible pitch, but it looked like a curveball that stayed high in the zone, something that can be vulnerable to being hit hard. Maybe they know something, but isn't it possible that he is just having a bad start? his location isn't great, but he's thrown several good pitches in his two starts against the pads that have been hit hard. If the other team knows that a curve or a fastball is coming, they're going to wail away on the pitcher. Cameron isn't the type of hitter who sits on a first pitch curve, and he's not a particularly good breaking-ball hitter. I'd just take him out at this point because it's obvious that the Padres know something.

no way, man. He's not pitching for the Cubs any more :( plus he's pitching against the cubs

like i said, hit cameron in the back...
-
what a joke... there's no way the padres don't know what's coming. Nobody else can hit Hill, and Cameron just sat on a curveball on the first pitch.
-
hit cameron in the back
-
missing a good game, ump
-
gonna have to do a lot of that today (go the other way on the outside corner fastball) why steal on maddux here, brenly? rich hill can't hit.
-
hooray for awkward waving
-
He does. I remember a number of opp shots by Jones last season. a guy with tremendous any-sort-of-power should have more than 25 homers a year.
-
lmao brenly just said jones has "tremendous opposite field power"
-
2 outs
-
the wind is really blowing in? that was a poke off the end of the bat by a weak-hitting catcher, and it made it to the warning track
-
that was even a good pitch that headley hit... what do the padres know that other teams don't?
-
Griffey to Cubs?

there's no question he'd hurt himself immediately upon coming to the cubs. It'd be Nomar v2.0. -
Pie's SB% in the minors has been pretty lousy
-
probably has something to do with him pitching against the cubs offense
