  1. He was crafty--getting into and out of trouble. crafty huh? any report on his velocity?
  2. so, i just woke up...how did Miller look?
  3. bump its on now
  4. im guessing a walk...it was a 3-2 count and the next thing i heard was that the bases were loaded Oh, I missed the bases loaded part. not hard to do considering how these fools are chattering about supiferlous crap
  5. im guessing a walk...it was a 3-2 count and the next thing i heard was that the bases were loaded
  6. ewwww, that reminds me too much of Ozzie Ozzie would make a comment about how only gay people lose. Ozzie's not gay? i always just assumed he was, judgeing just on the way he dresses off the field
  7. cubs plater another on a line drive to center from kinkaid
  8. Len and Bob mentioned that Prior will be pitching too.
  9. Peter Griffon is that you?
  10. Some of us don't have the ability to grow a good goatee or soul patch. :cry: That's a shame. *strokes his beard* <<
  11. He's a converted catcher who is still incredibly raw. He's got several plus pitches, but he still is a throw not a pitcher. Some time in the minors is really what he needs, even with success in the majors I think keeping him there is only hurting him in the long run. didnt realize his conversion, when was this?he sure seems to have control issues
  12. :lol: im guessing that cashing checks isnt too much a worry for Z, and provided he doesnt become injured, wont ever be
  13. Uh, that's actually one thing that I thought Dusty did say a great deal. I don't really think so. Dusty would, more often than not, find a way to deflect blame for why they didn't get the job done and he certainly never came out and said play was unacceptable. I also don't recall Dusty, publically, challenging guys; telling them to step up their collective game if they expect to play. I guess we have different memories then. Dusty would deflect it some of the time, but he said all of that plenty of times. He also challenged people to step up their game-Rich Hill is a perfect example of somebody who he said had to step up if he expected to play. I thought that Dusty talked about execution in the way Piniella is there most of the time when addressing what was wrong with his team. In fact, he was widely criticized for blaming it on simply not executing in that way. IIRC, Dustbag was pretty quick to jump on a rooks case publically, but vets, not so much
  14. what weird hodge podge of threads is this? well maybe i just drink too much
  15. I just don't see it. The Cubs are committed to Lilly and Marquis for the foreseeable future. I'm not going to get too excited one way or the other at this point but, if I were going to be prematurely exuberant, it would be about the outing Marquis had. He's definitely going to be on this staff so we have to hope that he rectifies his fly ball problems and starts throwing his sinker more. If his first start is any indication, it looks like, the tweaking he and Rothschild did was a success. He pitched two efficient (20 pitch) innings and got mostly ground balls. maybe i just have some unfounded man love for Miller, but i only see him becoming more valuable, to trade him prematuraly is a mistake in my eyes...i was in texas from 2000-2005 so i got a real good look at miller, not so much with lilly and marquis, if wade comes back 7/8 to his earlier self, he is gonna do good things for this team(even if just as a trade piece) trading him early will be a mistake though
  16. Yeah, you see it that way. But will the cubs see it that way. Even if Miller is a great bargain and pitching well, they might still see him as an injury risk. And since they've been burned in the past, they might rather stick with Lilly and Marquis. And I can certainly see the logic in that. ive only made a cursory look into his injuries, but from what ive seen, the shoulder seems to be the root of his problems, its been fixed(seems so anyway)anyway, i hope cubs brass isnt quick to trade him, i see him being pretty damn valuable in the long(july or so)run....this guy should net good stuff at the deadline, we need to hold on to him till then even if he is just in the pen
  17. i didnt have any realistic high hopes for marmol, but i did have hope...he sure went a long way to make my hope unfounded today
  18. have you never noticed?
  19. i dunno, i have a good feeling about Wade, if he performs to the lvl he was at at the end of last season i see lilly or marquis being more expendable than Wade
  20. yeah, i hate bryant gumble, but i'll be watching
  21. I see Bruce!!!! Bruce, sticking your tongue out at Lou? That's no way to start a good professional relationship. By the way, that angle has you dwarfing Paul Sullivan. Which one is Paul Sullivan? I'm not familiar with what the Chicago writers look like besides Bruce and Jay Mariotti. sullivan is the sawed off little guy in bruce's shadow(black shirt, glasses)
  22. dont know if anyone has posted this yet, but lou Piniella will be on "real sports with bryant gumble" on march 5th at 10 PM
  23. that i couldnt say, someone might just have been throwing on the side
  24. gilespie/walrond ball ball foul off batters foot Piniella gets an unknown righty up in the pen ball foul outta play foul off soto's mitt swinging strike 5-5 final/10
