    I think it's pretty ridiculous that people have a problem with this thread. No one is starting threads everyday documenting when Corey struggles. But this is simply an incredibly stupid play by Corey Patterson and it's worth mentioning. What's more ridiculous? Corey making a baserunning blunder or a whole team scoring 4 runs since last Saturday without any days off? And in that span, how many pitchers have or had ERA's over 5.00 entering those games? I'll trump that Dusty, the Genius, has got Bynum in LF tonight in place of Murton and Neifi at SS in place of Cedeno. So, if a team is scoring 0 runs, what does it matter who starts and where? You've got a good point, how about a card board cutout of Derek Lee? Its got a better chance of getting on base than most of the Cubs tonight.

    Speed dude, it kills, Bynum will make MLB History tonight by becoming the first player to ever steal first base...

    It would nice if Zambrano gets his head out of his rectum and pitches like the Cy Young canidate is supposedly is...you know, effective for once, what a refreshing change that would be.

    The Bulls, to their credit hung in there, won two, could have had three, I'll say it again - with an inside scoring presence the Bulls win this series in 5. Nevertheless, this is the Heat' high point, with their lack of defense they haven't much of a chance vs the Pissants (assuming they both make to the Finals). I don't like the Pissants much but, they are superior team to the Heat.

    Is Rich Hill a AAAA pitcher? Once again, he tore up the minor leagues, gets a chance and bombs, all this vs a not so good lineup.

    Should the a miracle occur allowing Prior and Wood to both make it back to rotation. What's the over-under on how many times they'll make it thru the rotation before "complications" arise?
  8. gflore34
    Unbelievable. This...I....The..... ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) Let's face it, Prior' not going see an inning this season, next he probably come down with the measles or chicken pox.

    If I were a below average Major League player, such as Jones, I'd want to play for Dusty witness: Manager Dusty Baker said Jones should've read the ball better, but added: "The balls stay up in the air longer with this light air. That was a big play too. That was one of them. When you're not scoring runs, you're trying to score any way you can. And most of the time you end up running into outs." This was the response of Jones being doubled up for second time in three games, he can do no wrong with Dusty in his corner.

    On the topic of old school I heard a Fergie Jenkins interview, on days of his starts, he used to throw, get this, 100 pitches in the bullpen session prior to game.

    As someone mentioned earlier its not that they, save for Jones, cannot hit LHP's, its their aggression that's getting them out. Duke and Capuano have pretty good stuff, I wouldn't call them soft-tossing junkballers, Mulder and Davis are soft tossing junkballers, all of these LHP's take the same approach. Live on the outer third of the plate, counting on the agressive hitter trying crush and pull everything thereby generating GB's to 2b, SS, and 3b. Its the hitters who exercise some patience and look to take the pitch the other way that smoke these guys, you'd think after seeing the same thing over and over again the Cub hitters would figure it out.

    He's good but, 40% of those career wins are against the Cubs, in fact he's 4-0 with an ERA of 0.56 vs. the Cubs. Subtract the Cub totals and he's 6-4 2.94 ERA, still good but, not as in-human as his stats are vs. the Cubs.
  13. gflore34
    The Bulls played terribly no doubt but, what's with all the lane violations called on them? I find it hard to believe they're the only team on the floor doing whatever it is that's getting called...

    The ironic point is the Sarge was amongst the league leaders in BB during the '84 season so, I'm guessing he knows the value of taking a pitch or two.
  15. gflore34
    What's so baffling is the fact that runs are directly proportional to the number of baserunners. Or in other words walks lead to baserunners, baserunners lead to runs therefore, the greater the number of baserunners the greater are the chances to score. Pretty simple equation really.

    As petty as it sounds after the Cubs win the WS, I'd hope they tell ESPN and SI both to shove it - no access to Club House or Press Conferences, etc.

    At least with Patterson, when did put the ball in play, there was a chance it could be hit with some authority. Pierre hasn't hit a ball hard in about two weeks...

    BTT will be over Duke' performance today like it was the greatest game ever pitched.
  19. gflore34
    Wiffle. I also forgot Tee Ball, he'd probably K on three swings.
  20. gflore34
    Jacque Jones quite simply the worst all around RF in all of Baseball - Little League, HS, College, Asia, Latin America, MLB, Minor Leagues - did I miss any?
  21. gflore34
    Game over, on to Arizona.
  22. gflore34
    Dude, that's not agressive!!!!
  23. gflore34
    I have 7. I'm going with 8, Pierre with a weak grounder to 3b on the Duke' second pitch.
  24. gflore34
    2-0 deficit is a 10 run deficit in effect...
  25. gflore34
    That's why we call him Slappy. But really, he has the most amazing ability to make contact without ever hitting the ball hard. It's that Pierre Flair I guess? Neifi' pretty good at the Pierre Flair as well...
