I like Diaz but I don't think he is a difference maker. He is also a guy without a position. They've tried him everywhere and he has stunk it up in the field. I do think he is a Chicagoan though. Isn't he the guy that hit the killer HR against us in 2004 late in the year? The one that tied the game in the bottom of the ninth? In mid-September in Shea off of LaTroy? Yeah, that's him. It was a Saturday afternoon game on FOX. I was at that game. I am still recovering. I was there too. So was CT. Prior pitch a hell of a game and Alou hit into two double plays. That was the day the Cubs started their decent. -
I'd play just for per deim.

Z vs Milton That game should be a bajillion to 2 victory for the Cubs. Milton sucks. I dont know how to judge tomorrow... But remember the 9-inning No hitter against Phillies in 2004? I remember, and if I remember correctly, the Cubs came back and won that game. No the Cubs lost in 10. The Cubs tied it in the 9th on a Patterson double. But LaTroy walked a couple of guys then gave up the game winning hit. Unfortunately I was at that game

This is a big early season game for the Cubs. If they win, it makes the sweep of the Cards that much sweeter (5-1 homestand) if they lose it is only a 4-2 homestand. I expect much better out of big Z tomorrow. And hopefully they are paitent enough with Milton to let him work himself into some jams. If they give him enough pitches he will.

That's a good question for Cubs fans, too. PECOTA projects Barrett as better than Molina this year. Next year, they'r projected to be roughly on the same level (with Molina holding a very slight edge), and from 2008-2010, Molina is projected to be better hands down. I'd trade Barrett for Molina if it were clear the Cubs weren't going to the playoffs this year. Molina is no great shakes behind the plate either. The last game he was hopping around like someone put Icy-Hot in his jock strap.

Only 2 of those you listed had more Win Shares than Barrett last year. Fine he is great, but shouldn't a big league catcher be a little better at catching the ball? Piazza never was. And when Barrett hits .330 with 40 homers then we can talk. Once he quit doing that he was a hack. For what it's worth, Barrett's EqA so far this season is a higher mark than Piazza ever had for a season, so complaining about his defense when he's hitting like this seems a bit premature, to say the least. I have long been critical of his defense, but if he keeps hitting like he is his value on offense more than makes up for whatever deficiencies he has on defense. Way more.

Premature elation! 2 down.

Dempster with a case of the wilds
-
Len said, 25 2/3 scoreless for Dempster. I hate walks in the 9th! Double play here?
-
1 away!
-
And Neifi refuses to take a walk
-
It sure would be nice if Murt could take one deep here.
-
I'll still take Wright over both of them. :D Who do you put at 3rd when you move him to 1st? :lol: That was funny even the second time around. It depends on who the Cubs have in five or six years and if he doesn't progress on defense. He is a special talent. He can take the ball out to any field. He actually reminds me of a young Mike Piazza (not defensively though)

Me either. He is racking up the innings early.

What was that? It looked like Lee got confused or something.

No, but we regularly ask folks to suport their opinions with evidence here; I was mostly wondering why that was not necessary in this case. I thought it was a disingenious assertion. I did, twice! Look, I know this isn't worth continuing, but it is my opinion that you stated that you shouldn't have to b/c you live in NY. It ain't worth it, though. Bygones. Back on topic: I favor ARam over Rolen, Wright over ARam at this point b/c of ARam's nagging health issues. And ARod over them all. Wholy smokes. I did say that, then I got pissed and in about two minutes I found two articles and tagged them. Then, UK found another one. You can go back and read them if you want. I don't make stuff up.

Not really. They said he was day-to-day. Nice pitching to Hattiburg by Eyer.

Williamson was warming up in the top half. I guess Dusty decided to set him down.
-
Walk with a pinch hit single.
-
Neifi really battled not to take a walk though. Yes he did. He fouled a bunch of bad pitches off then hit a bad pitch straight up in the air.
-
Neifi popped out and Cedeno hit the first pitch back up the box for a single.
