    Week 4

    :D And I still have Oswalt & Halladay later in the week. Look on the bright side, my offense is slumping. Well, other than Albert who is just a deity. That's the best part of my week too. I got 3 QS, but have the best pitcher in baseball and a guy coming off a CG shutout still yet to go.
  5. 4 more in the 4th. Jeff Culpepper singles on a line drive to right fielder Brett Carroll. Joseph Simokaitis out on a sacrifice bunt, pitcher James Brauer to first baseman Brad McCann. Jeff Culpepper to 2nd. Sam Fuld doubles (4) on a line drive to left fielder Dante Brinkley. Jeff Culpepper scores. Jemel Spearman singles on a line drive to right fielder Brett Carroll. Sam Fuld scores. With Ryan Harvey batting, Jemel Spearman steals (5) 2nd base. Ryan Harvey walks. Pitcher Change: Adam Brandenburg replaces James Brauer. Nic Jackson singles on a line drive to right fielder Brett Carroll. Jemel Spearman scores. Ryan Harvey to 3rd. Jake Fox out on a sacrifice fly to right fielder Brett Carroll. Ryan Harvey scores. With Issmael Salas batting, Nic Jackson steals (6) 2nd base. Issmael Salas flies out to right fielder Brett Carroll.
  6. And Fox's great year continues with a 2-out, 2-run double, a steal of 3rd base, and a run scored in the 3rd to tie the game at 4. Holliman followed by striking out the side in the 4th. 4 IP, 3 hits, 4 ER, 2 BB. 7 Ks, 1 HB.
  7. I meant to add closer and seperate Mitch from the rest of the pen.
  8. Fox reached on an E and scored in his 1st AB.
  9. that's doubtful. I'm gonna pass that by the end of the week.
  10. Holliman has quietly had a great start. Harvey popped out in the 1st. Jackson flied out.
  11. Holliman gives up a walk and double in the 2nd, D-Cubs down 1-0 in the 2nd.
  12. Starters- Sutcliffe, Maddux, Sanderson, Bielecki, and Paul Kilgus Pen- Jeff Pico, Steve Wilson, Les Lancaster, Calvin Schraldi, Paul Assenmacher came in late in the season. Lineup CF- Walton 2B- Sandberg 1B- Grace RF- Dawson LF- Smith 3B- Vance Law SS- Dunston C- Berryhill/ Girardi Bench- Girardi, Mitch Webster, McClendon, Salazar. with appearances by Gary Varsho, Darrin Jackson, Marvel Wynne, Doug Dascenzo, Rick Wrona, and Domingo Ramos
  13. You guys know that the superstitions don't work if you tell people. We're screwed.
  14. Well, after the 6th, I quit watching completely and did some laundry. I tuned back in to start the bottom of the 8th. Last time I did that.....Michael Barrett won the game with a grand slam. I'm not sayin'.....I'm just sayin'.

    Week 4

    I got 3 QS last night, but only 1 win. Derek Lowe was great, but didn't get any offense until Lidge blew the game, thus no win. Davies got no offense, and was probably left in an inning too long and gave up his 2nd and 3rd runs, and took the loss. 46 from 3 pitchers ain't bad though.
  16. Ground balls are a very good thing. If you are a strikeout pitcher (which Gallagher is better than average) when you don't have your out pitch you better be able to keep the ball on the ground. Carlos Zambrano seems to be the opposite. When he isn't getting a lot of GBs, his strikeouts tend to increase.....ala last night.
  17. Sprowl was originally drafted by the Cubs in the 47th round in 1998. He was released then had a big year for my then hometown, South Bend Silverhawks. Like has been mentioned, he walks almost exclusively and never strikes out. I really don't know why he hasn't moved up to AA in his 7-year career. He's not horrible defensively, is 26, and can take a walk. I would think some team would have him at AAA and have him right outside the 40-man roster in case a couple catchers went down.
  18. I hate when the Cubs MWL affiliate plays Dayton. I always read Daytona the first time and think interleague, intersquad game.
  19. I'd say the impression I'm getting is similar to Barrett. Not as athletic as Barrett, but probably anywhere from average to slightly below average defensively. It's not at the point where his defense will hold him back at all. He would be a solid backup catcher, maybe as soon as 2007.
  20. Cubs should score this inning, based on the ABs last time thru. The Cubs should score.
  21. 12 pitch inning, need about 3 more of those Z.
  22. Let's just hope Tim doesn't throw out his (first) pitching shoulder patting himself on the back after Fox's start.
  23. 3 combined starts going the next 2 games......Zambrano needed to go deep in this one. Completely disheartning.
