    1. The 2008 Cubs are currently on pace to score 950 runs. That's a phenomenal total and is perhaps not sustainable. 2. The 2008 Cubs pitching staff currently ranks only 9th in the majors in total strikeouts. If this held, it would be the first time that Cubs pitchers haven't led the league in Ks since the 2000. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/aggregate?sort=strikeouts&split=0&group=9&season=2008&seasonType=2&statType=pitching&type=reg For the record, Dusty Baker's Reds are leading the majors with 305.

    This gave me hilarious images of Floyd trying to play center field. On a related note, what do you think would be funnier, Prince Fielder trying to play shortstop or Prince Fielder trying to play center field?

    I'm thinking it too, but DON'T SAY IT

    The Diamondbacks fans are probably saying the same thing. I've seen hate for everyone ranging from Marquis to Hill that was understandable, but what's up with the hate for Gallagher? I'm not saying the guy is great or anything, but hating him at this early point in his career is kind of a head-scratcher. That's not hate at all. He's merely pointing out that we're giving some minor league pitcher his first start of the year instead of pitching our guy with the 1.80 ERA. So in relative terms the Dbacks should rough up Gahllager.

    I think it just depends on how often he hangs a slider, to whom, and whether men are on base when it happens. You think someone can actually homer today?

    For the record, the big red bar in the 2003 game 6 fangraph is the Agone error on the dp ball, not the hit by Luis Castillo. One of only 2 times I've thrown the remote (Victor Diaz being the other).

    Reed Johnson is the new human HBP

    The fan graph of game 6, as ugly as it is, does not nearly capture how horrible that was.

    Lol at the Phil Norton reference by Len.

    He's an on-base buy more than a power guy, and you'd use your on-base guy in the early we need baserunners situation.
  11. AlwaysaCub
    Do we think we can get 5-6 runs today? Because that's what it will take to win.

    Dunn, fine. Votto, okay. Paul Bako?!?!?!

    Leave it to Soto the Great to actually take pitches.

    Great job theriot. Way to make him work. Did you get a copy of that memo?

    So he can throw strikes from the outfield, but not the pitcher's mound. Makes perfect sense. Yeah I said that he was going to try to throw his first baserunner out at the plate this year but hit the backstop on the fly just out of habit. I guess not.

    Cueto's follow through reminds me of Bob Gibson's. I don't see why this is such the horrible deal the Red's announcers think it is.

    25 pitches is not that bad. That won't destroy marmol's arm.

    Will the magic water in St. Louis help OPR come up with an amazing new pitch like a knuckleball?
  19. AlwaysaCub
    Ryan Braun as a left fielder is a pretty good DH.

    Fukudome has a cannon. And it is deadly accurate.
  21. AlwaysaCub
    I just had a Nam-like flashback to 2006. Or 2002.
  22. AlwaysaCub
    Seriously. I'd be pissed. It's like Prior after the Giles collision. Sure it may not be a shoulder injury. But if he injures his knee there's no telling how that will affect his motion. Yes. A knee injury could very easily lead to a cascade injury in his shoulder. This is psychotic.

    Cedeno makes that play I think.

    NBA is completely different. Avery last year took the first seed in the playoffs last year and coached them to a first round exit. This year everyone again picked them in the first round and they still lost. Any owner would have fired Avery.

    Pie did also spend a full minute down and was perhaps injured. Maybe Lou saw something.
