Derrek Leon Lee. 'nuff said.

Who's Mark Buehrle?

I thought Blanco was catching Maddux again? Well he likely is. But when Barrett is 7/14 against Suppan, and Todd Walker is out of the line-up... you should atleast have some more offense... But with it being opening day at Wrigley, and Dusty wanting to give everyone a turn... Even if we're losing, I see Walker coming into the game. I dont see Neifi going all 9 innings.

http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/9571/suppanvcubs4vj.jpg Jones and Barrett have done great against Suppan. Not enough ABs to judge Neifi and Cedeno, or even Blanco... and more than enough to judge Walker :wink:

(Posted on the first page) Look at Walker's numbers against Suppan. Now look at Neifi's. I can understand Neifi starting over Hairston when facing Suppan... But Neifi starting over Walker when facing Suppan? Please.

You know you suck when both Cubs and Sox team up to go against you.

The pic in Vance's avatar, poster sized (If you can) and then add "PLAY WALKER! HE HAS AMAZING ABILITIES!"

Neifi is playing second, not shortstop. WTF MATE?!?!?!

"The faster he returns... the faster he can go back on the DL... and the faster he'll return!"

Too bad Dusty didn't think of it. What? And bat Zambrano in the lead-off position? :lol:

Plus he's only hitting .429/.429/.571. Oh noes! He wont be able to save us!

Is he leaning towards a SS platoon after Cedeno's bad play yestarday?

If you cant find any buyers, you can make great money since its a Cards game. Ticketsnow.com or something.

What direction?

Noteworthy Match-ups (Chicago Cubs) Vs. Jeff Suppan (16-10 with a 3.57 ERA in 2005) http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/9571/suppanvcubs4vj.jpg Noteworthy Match-ups (St. Louis Cardinals) Vs. Greg Maddux (13-15 with a 4.24 ERA in 2005) http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/262/madduxvcards4mp.jpg Both team's hitters hit pretty well against the opposing pitcher. It'd be interesting to see how it works with the wind blowing in...

Anyone have a good reason to defend Rusch on the homer to Bronson Arroyo... a career AL pitcher... who hasnt had a home run in a game since high school?

Unnoticed could mean overlooked/underrated, and if a park is over-looked, most fans don't have a mental image of it... Something that reminds them of it... Even if it's a view of the entire park, it's noticeable.

I thought he would have awesome defense after that very encouraging off-season workout article about him at Cubs.com... Hopefully it pays off this year.

If the knothole is open, I dont see there being standing room...

Have you been there? I have been wanting to get there sometime and see a game. I hear it is amazing. Also, did the Cigar Bar thing go through? Yeah, Pirates arent the best team... But PNC still stands out as a great ballpark.

(Maybe) like Farns, he performs better not under pressure? Except for a few starts last year :roll:

Other people age. Juan Pierre just gets younger. No roids here... Just look at his home run power :lol:

Coors, Citizens, US Cell and RFK were not listed as stadiums that were not given their due. They are stadiums that if you catch a glimpse of them on TV, you don't automatically know which park they are. Coors and CBP are the same thing. While both are talked about a lot, they aren't very distinguishing. RFK is a generic stadium, and US Cell is generic as well. When you catch a couple seconds of airtime of a game in Wrigley, Fenway, or Pac Bell, they stand out immediately. If you catch a yankee stadium game, it can be confused with US Cellular at first glance. I was saying that depending on what you mean by unnoticed, I would have different answers. Overlooked, as in doesn't get any attention, would have to be Kaufman. Although Comerica is not talked about much either. In the big market category, I'd say Dodger Stadium fits the bill. I never hear anybody talk about that place, other than the occasional discussion about pitcher's parks. I never hear people say they want to see a game there, and I never hear about it being either a great place, or bad place to catch a game. Prior to their recent success and renovation, Angel Stadium was the same way. Well, Dodger stadium had the most attendence in the NL for 2005... http://www.baseball-almanac.com/charts/attendance-nl/attendance-nl2005.shtml Yes, it has discussion about it being a pitcher's park... But it is a lot of attention compared to other parks on that list. I think it's a beautiful park... But of course, you're saying it from your point of view and what you hear & see...

I dont mind at all. The name doesnt make the bleachers... It'll still be full of bums who won't shut up... and I love them.

You can already see signs of D. Lee declining. yes, im kidding
