    Regardless of how long Maddux sticks around, nothing short of being linked to steroids would tarnish his career. What are people going to say... "Sure he won 360 games and had 20 great seasons, but he just wasn't a good pitcher at age 42." I don't think he will make it to 400 wins either, but I do think he will probably play one more season and end up somewhere around 370.
  2. Irrelevant Dude
    I think he finished right around 130 and looked exhausted.
  3. Irrelevant Dude
    Ok seriously, what is wrong with Yost?
  4. Irrelevant Dude
    Bases loaded, and if Sabathis is removed at this point I wouldn't put it past the Milwaukee bullpen to give up 7 here.
  5. Irrelevant Dude
    I wonder what Sabathia's agent is thinking. One one hand, he is increasing his value with every start. On the other, Yost may just run him into the ground by the end of the season.
  6. Irrelevant Dude
    Good for Maddux. Maybe he can actually pick up a few wins now instead of wasting away in San Diego.
  7. Irrelevant Dude
    I suppose he was due.

    I agree that a part of Lee's production decrease is the result of an age-related decline. I think he'll be ok through 2009, but I'm definitely worried about the last year of that contract. With that said, this year is really all that matters and I'll live with a sub-par Lee for the next 2 years if we can win a World Series now.
  9. Irrelevant Dude
    I think quite a few of the people defending him didn't even see the play.

    First of all, Cotts isn't worthless. And most importantly, how does throwing at a Braves player protect Soriano?
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    Why? The Cubs are leading the division with Milwaukee playing great baseball behind them. It's not worth getting a player suspended for the notion of "protecting a player."

    I have no reason to believe that Soriano will treat October any differently. I'm not confident enough to say that he would have hustled down the line. Other than he's a competitive athlete and it's the playoffs, I'm sure the reasoning on which you base your assumption is more sound. My reasoning is a pattern of behavior exhibited over the past couple seasons. Hopefully he proves me wrong, but I think Soriano's ego may outweigh his competitiveness.

    Howry's spike caught in the dirt while delivering the pitch, which he somehow dropped into the strike zone while falling off the mound.
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    That was even better than the old eephus pitch.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    Nah. I prefer the Cubs "we're above that and will just beat you on the field" attitude, like they did to Milwaukee.
  17. Irrelevant Dude
    I said ribs, not head.
  18. Irrelevant Dude
    Bob's a dick. He's all about that old school nonsense. yes nonsense like actually running when you hit the ball. It's a double header and he's getting a double or a HR. Big friggen deal. You really think what Soriano did is okay? No, it's not ok. But context is everything. Bob loves to make a point on the hustle stuff. He's a former manager and, as a manager, that's one of the few things you truly have control over. Players are going to make physical and mental mistakes, but there is no reason they shouldn't be able to give a respectable effort.
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    I don't doubt that it will.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    Single off the wall, which he admired while trotting down the first base line.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    Please hit Soriano in the ribs next at bat.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    How is he supposed to pick up a win otherwise?
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    Great inning... How many pitches was that?
  24. Irrelevant Dude
    So, what's the roster move after today's game to give us another bullpen arm?
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    Unless he's planning on extending Harden in the 2nd due to his extra rest and the fact that his last start was "only" 93 pitches. He better not be planning on extending Harden until October.
