  1. Seems like an odd thing to say an inning after he walked and scored.
  2. At least he's not walking guys...
  3. Dempster is like a 5-inning version of 2008 Bob Howry tonight. No wonder Lou can't help but keep him in there.
  4. Mark Buehrle currently perfect through 4 2/3, 2 outs shy of the major league record for consecutive batters retired.
  5. Still have lefties on the bench in Fontenot and Blanco...
  6. That's it, Lou, just keep putting in hitters with good eyes.
  7. If he can get a hit, he won't have to.
  8. Well, he's certainly not paid to make pitchers throw him strikes, so him taking what's given to him is perfectly fine in my book.
  9. Well sure, but how is he in situations where the pitcher changes mid-AB? :)
  10. And it only gets tougher for Stl with Billingsley and Kershaw going, and not Randy Wolf Yes, Wolf has been absolutely terrible this year...
  11. So, all this time it was Hawkins that was going nuclear this inning?
  12. Hill is pitcher bad right now.
  13. I mean, I guess I could have understood it had there been a runner on first and Lou wanted to stay out of the double play. But Johnson's already on second so Theriot's not going to ground into a DP. It is all about getting Johnson to third with Lee up and one out where basically any kind of contact ties up the game. Which is, in essence, playing for one run in the first inning with the top of the order up.
  14. I mean, I guess I could have understood it had there been a runner on first and Lou wanted to stay out of the double play. But Johnson's already on second so Theriot's not going to ground into a DP. At this rate, Theriot may have to sac bunt again this inning.
  15. Cueto can't get anybody out right now, except for the free one.
  16. So glad the Cubs gave Cueto a free out, what with the struggling to hit today.
  17. I'm watching now on Gamecast...did Costa Rica really score from the corner?
  18. The US has played really well again against Honduras, now up 2-0 in the 90th minute.
  19. Really, I'm only annoyed because it makes me lose my fantasy week. :P

    Week 16

    Damn it all with the no hitters and perfect games.
  21. You think a freshman-laden Illinois team is a favorite to win at Clemson early in the year?
  22. The Cubs are getting better at developing hitters, thanks in large part to Joshua. With Soto, Theriot, Hoffpauir, Fox and Hill, there are actually 5 farm products actively contributing to the major league team this year. Hill maybe more out of necessity than anything else, but it beats spending 3 million dollars on a backup C.
  23. lol what is this supposed to prove? that weeks wills himself to score better than soriano? I was thinking it was meant to show how unreliable runs are as a measure of singular offensive capability.

    Week 16

    I put Nelson Cruz back into the lineup because apparently he's going to play with a broken finger anyway.
  25. Yeah, that 11-3 nailbiter on Sunday was painful to watch.
