Dusty just said" J.Jones is available to PH tonight only in a emergency & most likely with 2 outs only, so he doesn't have to worry about beating out a DP"

Even though the Pirates are 3-8 to start the season, they are one of the top 3 offense's statistically so far in the NL. The Cubs have to pitch well & they need Aram back in the line-up to have any chance to win this series. Expecting a sweep on the road, no matter who you play or what team you are is unrealistic. I didn't say a sweep. I said 2 out of 3. I apologize for the misunderstanding.

According to M.Barrett, Maddux's FB has more movement than in previous years catching him. You can stay in the zone as a pitcher if you continually change speeds & have good movement on your FB. A pitch location chart doesn't always tell the whole story.

Dude, we needed his defense in the field. He did makes some very nice plays today @ 3rd, that I'm not sure Mabry would have made.

At what moment did you first start hating the Cardinals?
TrueBlueCubFan replied to Derwood's topic in General Baseball Talk
They acted that way b/c of the passion of Cub fans & the popularity they have outweighed anything they have ever seen before. -
4/11, Cubs/Reds, Cy Rusch/Arroyo, CSN 1:20
TrueBlueCubFan replied to Mark_R's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Pay back time for Glendon & the Cubs! -
not to mention Aram plays there 81 times a year, therefore his defense may be very underrated.
-
Rolen is 5 years older. His shoulder injuries would worry me a little over the long run. I'm leaning towards Ramirez, but there is a slight bias involved here.
-
That Maggs contract makes the D.Lee contract look like a steal.
-
3-0 is a great way to start this season series!
-
On the post game show, Dusty's reasoning for pulling Marshall is that the most he pitched in ST was 4 innings.
-
Dempster was already warmed up.
-
Wilson Betimet will be his temporary replacememt
-
If I were to guess. I would say KW last week of April,Miller 1st week of May & Prior between mid May & early June.
-
There was no mention of Wade Miller from Rothchild. However, word is he is a week or two behind Wood.
-
Larry Rothchild was just on ESPN 1000 & said Wood will face hitters on Monday & throw up to 60 pitches. He's progressing well. I didn't catch the update on Prior.

Abreu at the deadline?
TrueBlueCubFan replied to CubinNY's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
The Phillies will want a top of the line starter for Abreu. I'd rather have Z, b/c thats who it would take to get Abreu. -
I'm not convince about the Brewers. Yes, they are 5-0, but in every game they HAD to come back to win. Playing "cardiac kids" is not a good way to win. There are some intriguing talent on that team (*Turnbow, OMG, what a friggin' stud) but I do think Brewers ultimately will falter, and finish behind the Cardinals and the Astros, as those two teams will finish behind the Cubs. Question: What WERE the Angels (or for that matter Philadelphia) thinking by letting Turnbow go? They've had to come from behind against the likes of Pittsburgh & Arizona. These two are not really the cream of the NL crop. They go on a tough 9 game RT next week & will probably get a little bit of a wake-up call. STL,NYM,HOU

Didn't they get off to a good start LY? or was that 04?

Some White Sox fan who works for Comcast sports pulls the plug,b/c they can't stand that the Cubs are winning & the White Sox struggling v.s. the Royals. It's just a theory.
