  1. Good thing Hendry could give him away this offseason.
  2. Thanks, Is he a better prospect the Louis Montenez was? BTW> Thanks for the report. It is much appreciated. I love the draft, so much potential and hope. Much more so then the current team provides.
  3. Tell me more about Billy Rowell
  4. If it's a gamble, it like Hendry is a guy who makes $300/week and spends $50 on the lottery. It was stupid. It was not a good signing, Jones is not a good player and he hasn't been for at least two years.
  5. I really don't understand the stats vs. scouts debate. There is no debate. Stats are merely a tool used to scout a player. The time in the 40 or 60 are stats too. So is height, weight, body fat %, etc., etc. I dont think the Cubs are anti-stat. I think they only pay attention to some stats and disregard others. The look at readings on a JUGS gun but disregard BB. They pay attention to 40 times but not OBP. Its almost like they are buying horses, they look at all the wrong things and dont pay attention to what matters most.
  6. Why is someone intentionally throwing a baseball at someone else a good thing. It is pathetic. If Springer can't get him out, he should just walk him. But what is worse is the reation by supposed fans of baseball. What if it were Sosa?
  7. I wouldn't be a bit surprized if he asked to be traded after tonight. It's one thing to boo and quite another to have junk thrown at you from the bleachers... by your own fans.
  8. Good outing by Z and finally a little luck. I hope this is the start of something big.
  9. How could Zambrano possible get upset. He walked the first guy and had thrown over 100 pitches and he is trying to protect a lead. Your logic is so bad it isn't even wrong. In fact it is beyond absurd and into sublime.
  10. One thing I've noticed about Baker. He'll never preemptively have the bullpen warming up in these situations. He always waits until the first sign of trouble and usually doesn't pull the pitcher until it's too late. Baker is reactive rather than proactive. perhaps it's a show of confidence in z??? the guy's quite proven. no need to be pessimistic. Z looked terrible, and he was clearly tired. The Cubs, and Zambrano, got very lucky there. And who cares about showing confidence in him? The Cubs need to win, not make Zambrano feel better by having no one up in the 'pen. That's plain old bad managing. Not replacing Z was a mistake, and it was then compounded by leaving him in there for 20 pitches. I wonder if Rothschild says anyting to Dusty. Larry: Hey, Skip Z looks a little gassed. Dusty: You think? Larry: Well, he walked the first guy and the next two tatooed the ball Dusty: Really, I wasn't paying attention. I guess I should get someone up in the pen.
  11. Dusty is actively trying to get fired. It's like Costanza eating Strawberrys and wiping them on the Babe's Jersey.
  12. Are you confusing Russ Springer with Russ Ortiz? I don't recall Springer being a Giant. Could be. I'm a little giddy with the good pitching outing and decent effort from the offense, sans JJ.
  13. Didn't Springer use to play for the Giants? That could explain a few things.
  14. Yes. This is the last year of MLB.TV for me. They haven't improved it from the first year it was offered. Waste of $100 Way to go Z. BTW> It is much more fun to read the replys to the troll when he's on ignore.
  15. Aramis! And the flood gates are OPEN. The score should be about 8-0. And Jones is getting roundly booed.
  16. Not according to Dusty. Last year he blamed it on not learning it in the minors. Inadvertenly blaming Hendry and the Cubs minor league coaching staff.
  17. Damn it. Jones has to have some punishment for this. How can Dusty let him go back out on to the field? How can Jones want to go out there after that? Do they have no pride? For the love of Mike.
  18. If I'm Dusty I pull Jones right now. There is no excuse for this crap. I cannot beleive it. I just can't.
  19. Cedeno should be agressive IN THE ZONE. If it ain't a strike leave it alone.
