    That is internet folk lore propageted by people who were banned here posting on other boards. I read many boards, but this is the only one I post on becuase of the moderators. And they are more than tolerant of discussion and disagreement. I've read stuff from people who were banned here saying exactly what you wrote. But what they got banned for was continuing to flaut the rules of the borad.

    Woah woah. Are you saying those that criticise the Cubs organizations are rational and those that don't are irrational? I think he/she means rational in the philosophical sense. It is a clash of world views. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/rationalism-empiricism/

    In a word, yes. I am happy everytime the Cubs win. It changes my whole day. However, that doesn't mean that I can't be critical of JJ seeing 7 pitches in three ABs with two strikeouts and a pop up to the second baseman (hypothetical). I think some people are upset that people criticize something that works or appears to work in a given instance but is not a good tactic for the long haul. For example, in last night's game Dusty had Barrett sac bunt Aramis to second. Later Aramis scored. The other problem is in my opinon that some people are afraid of or don't like numbers. Last night someone said that they, "didn't believe the stat". It is not a matter of belief or disbelief.

    That's it. The Cubs should wipe the floor with teams like Pittsburg (sorry jake), Washington, and most of the NL West if they want to be there at the end. Any team with a really good offense will give them trouble (e.g., Cin) becuase they will have trouble scoring runs. And they will have trouble scoring runs on a consistent basis even when Lee comes back. They just hack away way too often.

    That's what I was thinking, but as long as it's only a rumor, how about Maddux for Pujols even up. I like that one. They may want to throw in Reyes as well, seeing as to how he couldn't beat out Ponson for a spot in the rotation.

    Can you judge him by one stat only without knowing what his coaches are asking him to work on? I completely agree that plate discipline is important, but I also know that players in the minors are often asked to work on a specific aspect of their game. And that working on that aspect can impact their stats. If his coaches have told him his number one goal is to improve plate discipline then his BB/K is disappointing. But if he's working on something else and his coaches think he's making progress on whatever that may be, then I have to trust them. I think you have to look at pitches per plate appearence too. If he is seeing a lot of ptiches but the numbers aren't there yet, that is a step in the right direction. But let's face it, Harvey has a lot of steps to take.

    I guess I can't quite make the connection. How many RBI's would Lee and Ramirez have had last year with a mediocre leadoff man? I think you'd agree many more. I think the 2, 3 and 4 hitters we put out there have the ability to do more with Pierre getting on base than he had in Florida. Pierre getting on base will help those guys and their ability to come through with runners on will help Pierre. As I mentioned before, Lee made the analogy before the season that Pierre will have the same impact that Podsednik did for the Sox last year. His energy, speed and ability to get on base provides a spark and catalyst for the rest of the lineup to feed off of. Pierre has not been even a medicore lead-off man to this point.

    I'll make it easy Over/under is 100
  11. CubinNY
    How many loses will the Marlins have this year Over/under is 100
  12. CubinNY
    Yes. I just refreshed and it is now working.

    Reverse psychology never works when you want it to.

    Last comment on this by me in a game thread (tonight). The are opportunity costs associated with any move. We'll never know what would have happend if Barrett hits in that AB. JJ bunting was fine by me.
  15. CubinNY
    That's my boy! I just put him on my fantasy team tonight.
  16. CubinNY
    Thanks. Good thing they didn't have the new guy who likes to beat up nerds sing.
  17. CubinNY
    who is Nathan Vasher?
  18. CubinNY
    Not with JJ in the lineup everyday.
  19. CubinNY
    Marshall has a really good curve ball tonight.
  20. CubinNY
    Anyone hear Ronnie Woo Woo in the background?
  21. CubinNY
    Just gotta tip your hat to a great pitcher. Nah, i think they need to check the ball. Gamesmanship ya know. Nice. I hate the Cardinals with each passing year and each passing post by K-town.

    Dontrell is tough on lefties, real tough.[/shadow]
  23. CubinNY
    Fast forward the same situation 5 innings. Why does one run later mean more than one run now? A run is a run; I'll take one in whatever inning I can get it in. If you play for one run that is the best outcome you can expect. You should only play for one run if you know that is all you will need (i.e., late in a game) IMO, it wasn't horrible, merely bad. Barrett is one of the better hitters on the team Dontrell was having problem with control (as evidenced by the walk and then groving one to Murt). JJ was in the hole.
  24. CubinNY
    Way to go Murt. If I put my hand into a nest of rattlesnakes to get a 100 dollar bill and I don't get bit doesn't make putting my hand in a nest of rattlesnakes a smart thing to do.
  25. CubinNY
    I don't want to hear that was a good call by Dusty. Willis just walked Aramis.
