    Seems we have another dynamic strike zone today.

    On a BP, but otherwise completely unrelated note, I got my first question answered today in the Maury Brown chat. Then I got two more answered. Just for kicks, here's the question I asked that finally got me an answer.

    We could always put Ohman on the DL with something made up... "elbow soreness" or something.

    On the other hand, Barrett was drafted as a shortstop... Just throwin that out there. :lol:

    To be fair to Zaun, he's a better option than Blanco as a backup catcher. That being said, I don't see how the Blue Jays need Jones.

    Pie doubles!

    Well, I've made some minor tweaks. I dropped Myers in order to pick up Chien-Ming Wang. He went on my DL spot, and I used the other available spot to pick up Jered Weaver. I have no idea why either of those guys was made available. Once Wang comes off the DL, I'll drop Reyes. Come the all-star break, this is what my pitching will look like. SP - Jake Peavy SP - Felix Hernandez SP - Ben Sheets P - Roger Clemens P - Chien-Ming Wang RP - J.J. Putz Bench - Rich Hill Bench - Jered Weaver It's a daily roster adjustments league though, so all those pitchers will be getting their turn. I did debate dropping The Rocket for a relief pitcher... but the fact that everybody else is only using 1 RP leaves me in a position that makes it about as easy as possible to carry that dead weight through the beginning of the season. On the hitting side of things, I haven't made any adjustments. Again, I debated going with a SB guy, but to this point that's the one thing my offense has been doing well. To me, it just makes the most sense to go with power guys, as they are likely to help in R, HR, and RBI. Most speed guys available in my league are only likely to help in SB. Yeah, my team has started off slow... but I'm sticking with my guns with guys like Gordon and Young.

    On what planet was optioning Gooz a good idea?

    Pie isn't really anymore of a "leadoff" hitter than CPatt was. I sure hope he isn't asked to do anything they wouldn't ask Soriano to do.

    Don't you understand? Cubs fans have to be miserable about something. Why not a charismatic Redheaded guy that likes to take pitches? I thought Lou called Murton the "adorable redhead."
  12. Rob
    I'm officially concerned.
  13. Rob
    :lol: hilarious. AH AH CHOO?
  14. Rob
    Esteban German got hurt mid-game and Grudzy is hurt too. PLEASE START HIM FOR 5 GAMES!!!! Agreed. I've got Carlos Guillen at SS already... but Morgan Ensberg is on the waiver wire. If Gordon gets SS eligibility, I could clean house. Much more likely is that Angel Berroa gets called up.
  15. Rob
    For anybody who's interested... It looks like Alex Gordon has moved to short in the Royals game. I don't know what the circumstances are... but it's very interesting.

    are you serious or is this just a manner of speaking? Sure i'm serious. How relaxed is cliff when you have a 8-1 lead as opposed to the 8th inning with a 0-2 deficit. You seriuosly think that has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with it? Or to you seriously think baseball players are robots? i assume you're making this claim without much to back it up. Hmm. Just basic psychology. positive attitude breeds positive results. More realistically, perhaps... in games that are out of hand, you are less likely to face the better relievers.
  17. Rob
    4 up, 4 down for Gooz. :lol:
  18. Rob
    99 mph! :shock:
  19. Rob
    Nice instincts on the slide by Murton.
  20. Rob
    Hey, I just saw on gameday that Soriano left the game after an injury timeout. Anybody care to tell me what happened?
  21. Rob
    And now all the regulars have a hit.
  22. Rob
    Floyd absolutely spanked that thing.
  23. Rob
    I'm starting to think I might be what's wrong with the Cubs. I went to the game yesterday and we couldn't hit the ball to save our lives... I go to class today just before the game started, and when I come back we're destroying the Padres.
  24. Rob
    I feel for the victims, their families, and the people close to them... However, I also feel strongly that to cancel the games would be the wrong course of action. Give the victims their moment of silence, but don't glorify the outrageous acts taken today by showing the effect they have on the whole country. That only emboldens likeminded individuals.

    Cubs Lineup

    Rob replied to ragirag's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    vs. RHP LF - Floyd 1B - Lee CF - Soriano 3B - Aramis RF - Jones C - Barrett 2B - Theriot SS - Izturis Pitcher vs. LHP LF - Murton 1B - Lee CF - Soriano 3B - Aramis C - Barrett RF - DeRosa 2B - Theriot SS - Izturis Pitcher That's about as close as we can get to maximizing runs scored while using just the current roster and putting people in roles they'd be likely to be put in. I don't think we'll be seeing DeRosa or Theriot exile Izturis to the bench though... and I'm not convinced Cedeno is a better option with the bat just yet... both players have shown good progress in their approach under Perry.
