    Freaking WCIU, why must you not be available in this area? That sounded like a play I really wanted to see.
  2. Rob
    We had a manager known as "The Peerless Leader." I'm kinda inclined to stick with him as our "best ever."

    No, Hamels is Santana with a huge track record of injury concerns. Health counts, and without Santana's track record of it, he'd rate below King Felix on the pure talent level.

    Does anybody know where I can find a list of steroid users caught by MLB testing? Or even a partial list? All I can think of are Palmeiro, Guillermo Mota, and Alex Sanchez, for some reason. I also know Turnbow and Sledge were caught by Olympic testing.
  6. Rob
    I don't think anybody outside of Santana or Liriano can even think of laying claim to that.

    Sad that even after a 4.2 IP, 7 ER game, you might be right.

    Ron :cry: Get better!

    Cubs are now 0-2 in my visits to Wrigley this season. The other game was the Lilly vs. Lohse pitching duel we lost 1-0. Why must the Cubs play such close an exciting games and then let me down?

    Who the devil are you comparing him to if it's not left fielders? Adam Everett? Yadier Molina? My guess would be that he's comparing him to all corner OF's-I mean, what is the only main difference between RF and LF? Defensive ability-and considering that Murton is about to have to move to RF to get playing time (with Soriano coming to left), comparing him against other RF'ers is probably more appropriate at this point. Well if we want to play that game, Soriano profiles more as a CF or RF than a LF. So we can still make the argument that with Soriano's defense in left and Pie in center, Murton only needs to play as well as a typical left fielder anyways. That's very true. With Soriano and Pie's range, Murton won't need quite the range that typically you'd need in RF. I'm not sure you're going to see that alignment for a while though-Pie still has a decent chance of being sent down late next week, and the lineup may have Jones in CF on a daily basis until he gets traded. I think (for no real reason whatsoever) we'll send the end of Jones as a Cub before too long. I'd be surprised if it goes on more than another 3 weeks.

    Jones will be shipped off in the next couple months. Floyd and Murton will play in right, and Pie will be in center.
  14. Rob
    The words below average was describing his defense, not the overall player. On this team he should be getting the starts until there is someone better to take them from him. Floyd certainly isn't the answer but I don't think it's an outrage that Murton isn't getting the starts. Is Murton really a below average LF? He's hardly the best defender I've ever seen out there, but there aren't many good defenders in LF. Partial list Chris Duncan Adam Dunn Carlos Lee Moises Alou Pat Burrell Luis Gonzalez Barry Bonds Raul Ibanez Garrett Anderson Manny Ramirez All of those are worse defenders than Murton, and some by a great deal (Duncan, Dunn, Manny, Burrell) That floor is a huge distance from the ceiling. What's the gold standard in left now? Scott Podsednik? Carl Crawford? Hideki Matsui? Murton is definately closer to those three than he is to Ducan, Manny, Dunn, or Burrell.

    Another XBH for Cedeno! :lol:

    I'm happy with the end result, but things could have just as easily broken the other direction. He got lucky to get out each and every single jam he got himself into. Still, it's enough for me to be happy about for a while.
  17. Rob
    That really needs to be it for Marquis.
  18. Rob
    Isn't it 10 days after he was sent down? And if that is the case, I do not recall when he was in fact sent down. About 5 days ago I believe. That was only five days ago? I'm in Gooz withdrawl... I thought it had been longer than that.
  19. Rob
    When is Gooz eligible to come back up again?
  20. Rob
    I can't believe Angel Hernandez gets paid for this.

    Atleast you get to watch the game, all I've got is gameday. You're not missing a thing. The Fox presentation has been absolutely horrid. They cut away for trivial things at important times... and that ARod thing was on another level of stupid. It's insulting that they think even us midwesterners care so much more about east coast teams. I'm pretty much as far west in Texas as you can get, and I'm still getting the Sox-Yanks game. It is really pissing me off because the Cubs are blacked out on MLB.tv since it's a national game. Of course. Why would you want to watch a good, classy rivalry when you can watch a popular, trashy, and sensationalized one?

    Oh damn.

    Except for what's gone to Pie.
