  1. Jagger looks like a pre-pubesent girl in that clip.
  2. Last nights game will give jjigman fuel for his conspiracy theory that the umps don't want to see the Cubs win.
  3. Mr. Clutch, hell. He is probably the best hitter on the team. And that is even when Lee comes back.
  4. I'll let this be my last word on the matter: Two innings isn't going to hurt. It's not like it was the 5th. A rookie pitcher is on the mound and it's late. One swing of the bat and he gets the win. Now he gets nothing but an atta' boy. You have to pinch hit close and late. But we can look at the results. They still had to use a pitcher.
  5. Dude, look at our bench. He wasn't expecting Marshall to struggle with the two of the hacks on Pit. He had 75 pitches. Which one of our murderer's row of Blanco Neifi Bynum Hairston and Restovich were you really feeling good about? Dude, all of those guys are payed to hit the ball. Marshall is not. It is bad baseball pure and simple. I don't give a frog's slimy behind how many pitches Marshall had thrown up to that point. Close and late you don't let a pitcher hit. Especially a rookie pitcher who hasn't hit on a consistent bases since highschool. But luckily the Cubs got out of it. [/shadow]
  6. On further reflection, I'd have to say it was a dark cloud.
  7. OK so Dusty didn't pinch hit for Marshall then he has to bring in another pitcher anyway.
  8. Santo is about to cry after those two close pitches.
  9. who did you want them to pinch hit with? Well, number one, it would waste a pinch "hitter" (I use that term loosely with our bench, only Hairston do I think could come through), and it would burn a pitcher. If there isn't a better hitter on the bench then a rookie pitcher who has pitched 7 good innings then the Cubs are in bigger trouble than any of us care to imagine.
  10. It is not a good call if Marshall goes out and gives up a run. The Cubs don't need to eat two innings here, they need to get a win.
  11. I don't like this. Hindsight nothwithstanding, but if Marshall gives up a run in the next inning it is a bad call IMO.
  12. Not in a tie game, late. Dusty has to pinch hit for Marshall.
  13. I don't think that call is protestale. It is worth gettng thrown out of the game for.
  14. what'd he say? To paraphase: Dusty needs to stay so he can put in his system. You can't judge the job he's done because of all the injuries. Thats...awful. THATS BEYOND AWFUL It's also the view of people who don't really follow baseball closely. I can see a few sportswriters echoing that opinion too.
  15. That is one hell of a line for Big Smooth. The Cubs really need this after the last two games.
  16. Luckily for us, Aramis, Ronny and the gang have made adjustments to prevent that. Or the fears were ridicilously unfounded. Aside from a corner outfield spot, first base is the easiest position in baseball defensively.
  17. Jake, I feel for you man. I am glad you post here.
  18. You've listed 4 pitchers out of probably about 40 guys that pitched in the WBC. I have no clue how they're doing, they may all be terrible too. But 4 pitchers' stat lines is proving nothing. One of the few good uses of "sample size" I've read in a long, long time. Very well done.
  19. See the sticky about three threads above.
  20. I couldn't agree more. Good teams find a way to overcome injuries. Or good teams overcome injuries becuase they are built to withstand injuries. Choose freely.
