    Damn you Dusty.
  2. CubinNY
    Dusty better not have Harston bunt.
  3. CubinNY
    Murton has a great eye. That was not a strike. And it should be 2-0.
  4. CubinNY
    Aramis through the Marine layer. Listen to those Cub fans!!! Reason #4,581 why the long ball is better then the small ball. Edit: I was typing this before Len mentioned it.
  5. CubinNY
    Len mentions the great '91 Cub pitcher Frank Castilo. The offense looks about right.
  6. CubinNY
    Oh the pain, the pain. Peavy didn't even have to throw a strike in JJ's AB.

    Just out of curiosity, why do you think he is a great G.M.? Every good move the Yankees have made have been as a result of Cashman, every crappy move it's the result of the Tampa brain trust.

    What're we gonna do when Miller gets back? Trade him for a bat
  9. CubinNY
    These two teams have the worst offense I've seen since the last time I went to a T-ball game.

    That's a pretty good analogy for the performance of the Department of Homeland Security too. :sunny:

    Every single offseason. When's the last time we signed a top-tier free agent? Yes, we have a high payroll, but we also make a lot more than most other teams. Pointing out that the Trib spends more than Tampa Bay or Kansas City or Cincinnati is fine, but they should be spending more because they make more. The Cubs spend more on awdul players. Poor management decisions. I agree with Serena. It's time to start afresh. I agree too, however I worry about who would replace them. "Baseball men" like Morgan are the vast, vast, majority of candidates out there. It would be great if they could steal Cashman away from the Yankees. At least we can take some solace in the fact that it appears the McCormics and others who control the Tribune Co. are willing to spend money. I wish they would spend it more wisely.

    Best game thread start ever! I hope Modzilla bans Dusty from the Cubs dugout if they don't score any runs tonight.
  13. CubinNY
    For which team?
  14. CubinNY
    OK, I firmly believe Dusty is actively trying to get fired. That is right up there with a late '90s Cub lineup. Wholy Christ, I haven't missed listening to a game this year, but I don't know if I can handle this.

    We all have our opinions and I respect yours. I just plotted all of 2005 results and comparied them to 2006 thus far and feel even more confident now. The Cubs as of right now today are "dead nuts" in the middle of the pack. 8th out of 16 teams in the NL. Last year they finished 7th out of 16. It's not an opinion. here is an informative website. http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/kb/regrmean.htm

    Pie or Coats should be brought up anyways, just to replace slappy Pierre. We still would need a big bat. Wait, so you want the team to score even fewer runs than it already does? It's a wonderful idea to replace the guy leading the team in Runs scored. how do you know there will be a dropoff? pierre has been horrible thus far, regardless of him leading the team in runs scored. that's just an indicator of how bad this offense really is. It's also an indicator of where he bats in the line up. One can slap as much make up on Pierre's performance as they want, but it still won't be pretty.

    Scott, all I'm going to say is that you are trying to fit a square peg (regression analysis) into a round hole (team winning %). The metric is entirely off base, even if the theme is not.

    Since when has having more than two pitches become a prerequisit for being a successful starter? As Tim and I have stated, it is way too early to judge Hill. The Cubs cannot constantly yank a guy from AAA to the majors, and then from starter to reliever, and then from the majors to AAA and expect that pitcher to be successful. That is exactly what the Cubs have done with Hill among others. Hill needs a decent # of starts to show if he can do it (and I'm not saying he can). And he needs to know that if he has a bad outing or two his bags are not headed to Iowa. An organizations needs to do everyithing in its power to set up the young player for success.
  20. CubinNY
    While what you say is true in theory, a guy with one major league pitch isn't gonna succeed, at least not as a starter for long. His fastball is average at best. Are you talking about velocity or location? If it's veloicty, save it.

    http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/stats/individual_player_hitting_chart.jsp?c_id=mlb&playerID=133380&statType=1 I don't really see much of a difference. Exactly. Aramis has always been a dead pull hitter. I'm glad he is taking more walks
  22. CubinNY
    Actually, the Cruz vs. Zambrano issue was back when Baylor was still manager (2002). When Dusty took over in 2003, Zambrano was firmly in the rotation. Thanks for the correction. Could you imagine what like would be like without Z?
  23. CubinNY
    Maddux sucked his first year in the majors. So did a lot of future good pitchers. Hill has been up and down, up and down. The same way with Mitre and a few others. Heck, Dusty couldn't decide who to throw in the bullpen in Z or Cruze. It is way too early to tell on Hill. The Cubs have to give him at least 6 or 7 consecutive starts to see if he can do it. I wouldn't even look at the W/L record. I'd look at ks, bb, k/bb, GB:FB and all sorts of "unimportant" numbers to judge Hill by. They seem to do this with all rookies, "produce now are get out" while the give the "proven vet" much more time.

    Some people actually predicted that the Cubs would have a hard time scoring runs this year. The problems we are seeing this year are the same problems of last year and the year before. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it. I wonder why Hendry doesn't see it though. And that problem is not injuries. Clearly not true Cubs fans No, mostly the people who are just here for the chicken wings.
