Nah. Marlins will score a couple more runs off our pen. i think this is one of those games when the pen is lights out, but it means nothing.
-
hooray for another one-run loss

WADE'S BACK!
TruffleShuffle replied to C.C.'s topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
that one is possible, because it was taking a flier on a guy with an injury history. People won't really blame Hendry for that not working out. Eyre on the other hand... -
wow that guy was tone deaf

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 5-29-2007
TruffleShuffle replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
ugh i-cobs had bases loaded and webb grounded into a double-play... just stand there with the bat on your shoulder, let patterson come up with the bases loaded and 2 outs. -
hey this one's actually true!
-
"it's about a fat, loud cub fan with food in his mouth"
-
Somehow I'm willing to bet thats not actually true. yeah but he says a lot of hyperbolic things that aren't true
-
yeah i'm resigned to the fact that we'll be selecting another high school hitter who will flame out in AA
-
yeah that's the point... stop developing scrubs (note the common thread with those guys - horrible plate discipline) and actually get a minor league system that contributes talent onto the major league squad. Look at the team that's playing tonight, most of the players came from within or in trades for talent they developed (Beckett, Pierre)
-
i posted the same poll in the polls section. hopefully members of this board are a little brighter.
-
This was tonight's poll on the Cubs game. A mind-bogglingly high percentage voted for the Cubs. What does this board think?
-
81% are you kidding me? yeah these losers really look like they've got what it takes
-
Fire sale. And I mean complete fire sale. We've got to get this noose off our collective neck. We can't do that. We passed out NTCs. Eyre, Soriano, Marquis, Lilly... they might as well have NTCs, nobody is going to take on those contracts. From this point forward, the Cubs have to start developing some players from within and stop impulsively spending money to fill holes.
-
ahahahaha game over, another loss to a team with about one-third the payroll of our beloved cubs
-
oh come on, lee probably scoops out more of those than any other first baseman in the game. He's not going to get them all... ARam had plenty of time and made a bad throw.
-
it's almost time for barrett's bi-weekly stupid throw to third to pick off a guy who's already standing on the base.
-
come on man. you know what i meant. yeah, you got upset at a baserunning mistake and said something silly. it's ok.
-
49.4%... last year it was 57.7%. Too high. edit - jock's GB% is also way too high for a corner outfielder
-
looks like derosa is still sucking it up at night
-
so have jorge posada and mike piazza
-
huh? derosa complained yesterday about how he hasn't gotten use to the day games yet... but he still sucks at night. sucks to the tune of a .925 OPS in night games, apparently

Carlos Lee's slugging % is 497 lifetime and has been around 540 the last couple of seasons. Berkman's is 557 lifetime and has cycled from a high of 621 last season to a 515 a few years ago. Berkman (switch hitter) is also more difficult to deal with b/c he bats left handed (most of the time)as opposed to the right handed Lee, so he has that advantage as well. As for last year, Phil Garner is a very very sneaky guy. A fellow Tennessean, he has the name Old Scrap Iron for a reason. He was hiding Berkman last season. He was continually changing his lineup, keeping a hot hitter behind Berkman. That way, you had to decide against pitching to Berkman vs. someone who was hot. Ensberg who backed him up until June was hitting .329 in the month of april and down eventually to 265 by the end of may. Garner then moved in Preston Wilson and dropped Berkman to the 4 hole. Then it was Huff and Lane for the rest of the year. Just about anyone who backed up Berkman, had a significant jump in their avg. immediately following the move. Altogether pretty sly. OPS behind berkman was just about the same, or slightly lower, last year than it is this year

you sure you didn't accidently click the 700k feed instead of the 400k feed? that would be the problem, if it's what you did. I just clicked the video icon, but apparently it does work in 400k. Still, I think I should be able to watch either, having bought premium.
