  1. Looks like Wood may not get to pitch today. I'd be willing to wait another day if the Cubs can take the lead.
  2. Because 1 run is impossible to get in 3 innings??? 2 innings now... 2 and 2/3.
  3. Because 1 run is impossible to get in 3 innings??? Pretty much.
  4. So the first pitch doesn't count because the 2nd base ump can't get in position fast enough?
  5. Are you assuming we see 9 batters this inning? Obviously.
  6. What's a game thread without hyperbole?
  7. It just keeps getting better, doesn't it.
  8. Nuts. 50/50 shot that was the game winning run.
  9. Isn't that what you just did? Don't bait the mods.
  10. I would love to see the Cubs get one of them just to see if you stick to your word here. The smart move would be to give 5 years of premium to yourself. this board is nothing but a passing fad and will be long gone in 5 years When was NSBB started again? Back in 2002, right? As long as Tim sticks around to run this place, I think it will survive. you, of all people, should have understood the tone of my message Boy, I've never seen anyone choose to answer a sarcastic statement with a serious one.
  11. Fontenot did that, but inevitably cooled off since he wasn't really that good.
  12. What about that double he had earlier today?
  13. I don't care what inning it is, you do not put in your worst pitcher with the game tied and runners on base.
  14. A couple bloop hits, some harder ones, and a HR allow the Phillies to tie the game 4-4. Now, two straight walks with two outs.
  15. yeah...all hill's fault. How isn't it? are you watching the game? Hill gave up multiple hard hit balls and a HR. He hasn't been stellar this inning. Jones botched the dive, but only a CF with great range would have caught it, most would have just had the sense to field it on a hop.
  16. Seconded Top of the second, 2 outs, Moyer on first, 1-1 Cubs.
  17. OK, time to get the long reliever up and stall.
  18. And Marquis's overpriced contract just disappears? Santana uses his superpowers to turn back time to before Hendry agreed to the contract, then goes forward again and plays for the Cubs.
  19. If the Cubs got Santana (hypothetically), I can't see Z getting to be the ace in front of him. Zambrano isn't nearly as good as Santana. Obviously, this is a pipe dream. But it would be cool. While we're dreaming, imagine if Prior was actually healthy for a year (more likely to happen than the Cubs picking up Santana, anyway). That would be a hell of a rotation.
  20. The other problem is that stolen bases are not completely equivalent to an extra base achieved at the plate, since a stolen base can't drive runners in.
  21. I agree. I get tired of reading posts with these Moneyball stats being the only way to evaluate a player. Sure OPS is a useful stat, but I refuse to believe that any one stat can truly reflect someone's value. No single stat can tell you everything about a player, but the argument that a player is good simply because he has a decent OBP false. That is a very important part of the game, but not the only one. What the argument over Theriot was doing was exactly what you say you dislike, focusing on one stat to tell the whole story for a player, OBP, while ignoring SLG. Add them together, and you get a stat that doesn't tell you everything about a player, but gives you a vital overview of their offensive contribution that correlates very well with runs scored.
  22. Swinging at the first pitch when the pitcher just walked the last batter on four pitches. That's classic.
