    Whew! Good job JJ! I just knew that Barrett was going to hit into 2. So predictable

    Very cool. I'm assuming Ram plays tommorrow. That is great news!

    I'm back! My account wasn't working for a few days. Tim just fixed it... C'mon Cubs!

    I agree. I think Rich is going to have a better year than Carlos. In that scenerio. Lilly is not a bad #3 at all. Now what to do about #4 and #5, that's the problem. :lol: Well, I hope Carlos pitches like a 2 but I'm kinda thinking he'll be more like a 3--just a hunch. I'm encouraged by Hill and Lilly so far and anything half way decent out of Marquis is welcomed... Eventually, I think Guzman is going to be in the rotation (that's assuming Prior doesn't get himself together any time soon). Not a chance. Carlos will pitch like a number 1 or 2.

    I think and hope it gets canceled. We can use a regroup and get ready for Cincy...I'd like to start with Rich Hill on Friday...

    5.40 ERA 1.60 WHIP I guess people think that's good around here. Compared to last year, its probably good. We were in the game today. That's about all you can ask a guy like Marquis. No offense, but thats under the same line of thinking as "Who cares if his ERA was 6.02, he won 14 games!" No. Marquis did his part to win the game. He go no run support. I don't know a pitcher out there who wins a game with the offense putting up goose eggs. Agreed. No use splitting hairs here. It's not splitting hairs. Follow my logic. You say that if the Cubs did their part and scored runs, then we'd win the game. So if every game, Marquis threw 5 innings of 3 ER ball. And most every game, the offense responded and won. So at the end of the year, Marquis won 20 games and had a 5.40 ERA. Any way you look at it, he would have had a bad year statistically. It doesn't matter that he won 20 games, when being judged and compared to the rest of the pitchers of the year, his numbers would be quite poor other then wins and losses. I doubt every game the Cubs make three errors. You can't base an entire season on 1 game. He wasn't great today, but he was 1 inning away from a "quality start". If it wasn't for the two Izzy errors, he probably would've of gotten there.

    C'mon Rich Hill! Let's salvage at least 1 game. It would suck to be swept when Oswalt didn't even pitch in the series.

    But that doesn't affect those stats. You can't give up 3 earned runs in the first and pretend to not share in the blame of a loss. Sure, but it wasn't a poor outing. No, it wasn't poor, it was terrible. cool, so anyone who doesn't pitch complete game shutouts is terrible? Just so I know so we can move forward That's a freaking stupid thing to write. Just stupid. There's a very big difference between 5 IP, 4 R, 3 ER and a 1.60 WHIP and a complete game shutout. Don't respond with that nonsense. IRONY

    this is really bad for your metabolism. Not to mention sanity? :shock: Nothing that a few drinks won't cure. Oddly enough, you're problems will still be there when you sober up. That's why you keep drinking... And then you have a little problem called death. Just for the baseball season. Sheez! You haven't figured it out yet?

    How? 1.60 WHIP 5.40 ERA That's flat out terrible. Woah there sparky, three errors and a horrible day in the field should also be factored into account on those stats. I bet Lou is going to have a field day with this kind of effort... YIKES! Hate to be in the locker room. You understand that errors don't contribute to ERA or WHIP, right? But it extends the inning, no?

    Reminds me of the 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 season.

    It's the 'ole "We never gave up" "We gave it our best shot, but came a bit short" speech from Lou after the game.

    Wow. Just wow!

    Soriano is the posterboy for why you don't draft a guy onto your fantasy team who just signed a massive contract. That and he's on the wrong side of 30, just had a career year, and never was a big OBP guy. There were no illusions (at least for me) on what kind of commodity he was. It's only 9 games in...

    The starters for the most part have been good.
