    True, but I think he deserves credit for giving the Dusty the benefit of the doubt, but not forever. His last sentence in this morning's column synthesized the issue very well - Guillen's SPs through more than 120 pitches 5 times all of last year. Guillen understands how to manage his assets; Dusty does not. Well said. Again I think it's because Ozzie had a bullpen Baker has never had that luxory since he's been here.

    Guillen could pull them early because Ozzie had a bullpen. Let's face it Baker hasn't had a bullpen since he's been here. This year the bullpen looks strong and he can trust it more. It's not a solid argument. If Ozzie had the Cubs bullpend he would have no choice but to let the starters go a bit longer. Also if Baker pulled these guys after 100 pitchers no one would make it past the 5 inning....Sorry I don't see were you blame baker here.

    Agreed...I like to see Ronny step it up and get a couple of hits today. In fact I predict Ronny gets 2 hits today. A single and a double.

    Cedeno has struggled a bit this spring. Still waiting to hit his spring stride.

    You do remember that just last year Hill was in Single A? In one year, he went from A ball to the Majors. He dominated at Triple A. It's surely a little early to write him off as a starter based on one start early in Spring Training, wouldn't ya say? Honestly, I've seen him for two years now and there is nothing besides his cruveball that impress' me. Every pitch besides his curve is average at best. You can't be a major league starter with 1 pitch. A guy named Barry Zito won a Cy Young with virtually two variations of the same pitch. His fastball is far from special. The key with Rich is control and location. If he can spot his fastball while maintaining control of his curve he'll be a VERY good pitcher (as eviodenced by his K rates). If he can't, well, his MLB career will be very short (as has been the case with many a pitcher). I'm I the only one that is tired of the Hill-Zito comparasions? I don't care how good or many K's he has in the minors he hasn't come close to the same results in the big. And let's not forget Hill is 26 years old. He's not a kid anymore.

    Too early to worry about that.

    Hey Beer didn't you used to post on ESPN message board many moons ago. I remember you. I haven't been on those message boards in a while. I got sick of the cubs.com board as well. Too many kids on there that don't know baseball.

    4-1 Angels. Anyone else get the feeling that Hill will never be a realiable starter. I think he's destined to be a lefty specialist.

    I think Pagan may play himself into a bench role. I was talking with some Met's fans and they said he can flat out fly!

    GREAT SITE! I was looking for a site like this! It's already bookmarked!

    Wow! Canada is winning 5-0 Vs. USA in the bottom in the bottom of the 3rd inning. Willis didn't fair too well today.
  13. C.C.
    Just saw that also! Good for DLEE!!!!!!

    Fernando? Round robin in each pool. Two wins advances to the next round. I see cool! Thanks!

    Anyone know how this World Classic works? If Valenzula loses today do they go home?
  16. C.C.
    Is it really Bruce Miles from the Herald?
  17. C.C.
    Holy Cow!!!!

    Infected finger? WTF? Is it me or do the Cubs get the most bizarre injuires? I'm assuming it's not too serious.
  19. C.C.
    1 AB? Very strange...
  20. C.C.
    Oh great! Is he hurt?

    The Cubs never make it sound bad. It seems minor and prolly is, but again you never know. I wasn't honeslty expecting much from Woody anyways..
  22. C.C.
    Yep! "Minor" knee surgery. He won't be ready until late May. No surprise

    Why is ths negative on Chicago? If anything it praised the Cubs fan base. So it dogged out Chicago Stlye Dogs. Who cares?

    It would be the first time in my life I'd say "GO CARDS"! I think I'm going to be sick! I think one of those teams will faulter. I actually like Houston going to the World Series. I think Angels are going to beat the Yanks and the Sox.

    Speaking of Manny. I was at a Boston Red Sox bar in Chicago last night, and I was talking to a person who just relocated to Chicago from Boston. We chatted all night, and he said Manny has no interest in playing defense. He said he's horrible! The guy can flat out rake! But he is a hack and lazy in the field. He also said that people in Boston still miss Normar.
