Going into the season, the BP looks to be the strength of this team.
-
crap I thought the same exact thing. Neifi's a Cub & I'm a Cub fan. Sorry to all the pessimists & haters if I root for him! WTG NEIFI!!!
-
so true. good to see him putting it together. keep it up. IIRC, He's scheduled to face the Reds in game #2 to begin the season.
-
He faced a lefty today, that is why he went 0-3 with 3K's.
-
Don't worry about the length, it's an NFL contract. # of years doesn't mean anything. Great signing for DA Bears! Now let's get Charles Woodson (isn't he a FA?) and Leonard Pope. No TY to Woodson.
-
Don't be suprised if Griese makes the Bears decision on who to start @ QB a difficult one. Griese is more experienced. Time for Grossman to step it up. I do like the signing depending on how much $ is guaranteed.

There's an article up on Cubs.com

Infuriating. :?: Sacrifice bunting with no one out, and with your two hitter, who is left handed, and in a spring training game, and early on in said spring training game. Stupid to the nth degree. IIRC, it was Hairston who sacrificed Pierre to 3rd.
-
Brewers make a late change, subbing Nelson Cruz in LF for El Caballo. Can you please refrain from the Hawk Harelson refrences?
-
nice recap indeed. It will be interesting to see how Ryu & Marshall fair today.

I heard this on XM home plate last night: If Soriano does indeed refuse to play 2nd base & passes on 10 mil. & the Nats put him on the unable to play list, he DOES NOT become a FA after this season & will still owe the Nats 1 season of service. Sit out the whole season & make nothing & put off FA for another year? or play LF for the Nats & make 10 mil & file for FA after the 06' season? Sounds like a very easy decision for me! GET OFF YOUR EGO TRIP ALFONSO!

Like Macias winning a job over Hansen in 05'?

3 recovering SP's (1st official start?)

His W-L record isn't really the issue. At all. or any pitcher for that matter. BTW dont dismiss record completely it does factor in, it is the ultimate measure of success. I know it isnt something the pitcher has complete control over, but in the end it doesnt matter if you had 200 plus strikeouts and a great ERA, if you didnt win games you werent a success. Also when you look at the numbers it is a strong indicator of success in wins, if you have the above stats then you most likely will have a good record, but it doesnt guarentee it. A W is all that matters at the end of the day. I may very well be wrong, but thats just how I feel :D Thanks for defending yourself. I've never seen a bad pitcher win games consistantly. It's only one stat, but one that gets dismissed to often by stat boys. Go look @ Shawn Estes a few years back when he was with the Rockies. His W-L record was somewhere around 15-8, yet his ERA was close to 6.

Colorado was rumored to interested early in the off-season.
-
The problem is the media makes this out to be the best determining factor of a pitcher. They are the ones at fault.
-
W-L is a team stat. Quality starts should be recorded as a pitchers stat before W-L. In my opinion, W-L should be removed from stats when judging & comparing pitchers. This stat punishes a pitcher when he doesn't get run support. Clemens LY was a good example of this. I believe he had a better year than Carpenter & the true pitching stats prove this.

FYI, AJ Burnett leaves today's game with an apparent elbow injury: http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20060318&content_id=1354513&vkey=spt2006news&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb 5 yr. 55 mil?! Makes me feel a little better about the Prior situation
-
Why even put yourself through that living hell?
-
For Sox fans, a game v.s. the Cubs in ST is more their WS than playing Houston in October. Finger on the mute button @ all times is recomended.
-
Hawk Harelson is hands down the worst in the business.
-
Once all 3 come back this rotation will be deep. Hopefully, in early May.
-
The Cubs dominated the Cards head to head in 05' going 10-6. Will they repeat the domination? FYI, 6 games are in April
