    I meant done pitching in anything meaningful, 2nd Tommy John, drop in velocity, maybe, something good happens in the off season. Head winds sure aren't promising.

    I believe Steele is done as a Cub, sad to say but, it's the ugly reality.
  3. gflore34
    He had the balls to try and spread the blame, no sh*thead it's all you:

    Include the author of the article as well. The cover boy for Cubs' defeatism, I'd say 70-75% of what he authors is laced with criticisms made up, warranted or not. It's my believe there's a plethora of random variables involved in player development along with a cyclical nature. Some draft classes hit, others don't, regardless of scouting, it's just the nature of the business. It's impossible to predict future success or failure based upon the present day results.

    Don't understand, should they get to the NLDS, you're saving Shota for the Brewers? Or, is this a live version of what would be a regularly scheduled bullpen session?

    Head scratcher for the Diamondbacks tonight, Lovullo goes with his weakest arms. To no surprise they get torched for a combined 7 runs. Had they won tonight they would have controlled their own destiny. Lovullo may have cost them a spot in the playoffs tonight.
  7. gflore34
    Didn't get that either, granted the Padres lineup isn't exactly fearsome and maybe, they thought he could get them an inning before going to the good arms.

    Their reliever, Cabrera, from a glance at his minor stats and what's coming up on MLB-Gameday, looks to be cut from the same cloth as those guys, Paez and Burgos, the Cubs saw. Doesn't have much, soft tosser. After Machado' HR he took it up a notch maybe, he should have started that way.
  9. gflore34
    I really don't like the Diamondbacks nor do I think they're all that good. Nevertheless, they deserve credit for not packing it in despite their, at one point, microscopic playoff chances.
  10. gflore34
    And there you go, lol.
  11. gflore34
    Yeah they were, I've confidence in Buehler' ability to not hold a lead.
  12. gflore34
    Seriously, in what universe did Mattingly think going with Urquidy was going to turn out well? He got away with a hanger, then the Rays cashed in, doesn't look good for the Phillies tonight.
  13. gflore34
    Phillies are regressing, think some here mentioned this as a possibility. Padres are due for a regression as well.
  14. gflore34
    Michigan - karma' a bitch. I believe they've the defense to keep OSU within range unfortunately, they don't have the offense to take advantage of a pedestrian OSU defense. Too bad the Illini couldn't trade for their defense.
  15. gflore34
    Very cool, you got me beat. You probably remember Dave Kingman hitting 3 bombs vs. the Phillies including the one over Waveland.
  16. gflore34
    Ohio State' defense is miles away from championship quality. Illini with a banged up OL, have moved the ball with relative ease and if they weren't tripping over their own dicks they'd have more points.
  17. gflore34
    Probably the 1998 for me as well though I'm old enough to remember Bill Madlock.
  18. gflore34
    This whole idea of taking or looking upon an organization' current farm success as a given for the future is nonsense. There's way too many random variables involved in a baseball player' development. Yes, the Brewers are having some success but, to extrapolate that to continued success while, at same time, extrapolating the Cubs system to continued non-success is folly. There's absolutely no reason the Cubs system can't start to churn out some pitching in the coming years just because of the Brewers success. Total BS. Once the Brewers graduate all their surefire HOF'ers they'll have a downturn as well, it happens, even to the infallible Brewers. I'm with Rcall and others, the constant defeatism here surrounding the Cubs in everything they do is getting tiresome.

    Watching the Padres and Diamondbacks, remind me again, why the Padres are soooooo good? Fact is all of the Cubs, Phillies, Padres and, possibly Diamondbacks, are flawed teams and, despite what many here would like to believe, neither is head and shoulders above the other.
  20. gflore34
    Don't say that to all the Padres fans here, Cubs have no chance at all, not even the remotest don't you know.
  21. gflore34
    Wait a minute, I thought the Padres were the hottest team in the history of baseball, how could such a thing happen? No that was the Phillies right?
  22. gflore34
    Out of morbid curiosity I looked up the 2004 Reds, didn't realize their team pitching WAR was -6.2. You'd thought there were better than that with the way the shut the Cubs down in that series. 2004 was truly an instance of tight team trying too hard.
  23. gflore34
    Yes, but, fortunately, it's not the same playoff format.
  24. gflore34
    That's him, everyone thought he was the sh*t because he made one good throw vs. the Cubs, yeah, he was the sh*t alright. Career WAR of -1.2. Hell, PCA's hat has more WAR.
  25. gflore34
    I know it's bad, at least they're in, not like 2004 - Victor Diaz with quite literally the biggest hit of a not-so-great career, the a-hole Reds - Dunn, Kearns and whatever the other f**kwad OFer - man, that sucked.
