Partly due to Stewart slipping in at 13, partly because of a run on OTs, partly because Detroit is run very poorly.
-
Baltimore trades up for Houston's pick.
-
Can I laugh anyway?
-
I would be forced to laugh if the Lions missed on Mendenhall because they traded down 2 spots.
-
Uhh...no. Please tell me this was sarcasm. It's not like we don't have two starters in the bullpen, and the Nats have their ace on the mound. Runs could be hard to come by. It's the fourth inning, Dempster IS a starter, and he's given up one hit. -

Soto really not picking up Perez's pitches well today.
-
I think he has Stewart going WAY too high.
-
A guarantee of getting to the World Series, even if they lose, would be good enough for me until the year after it happens.

The only players I would reasonably expect to come down a bunch are DeRosa, Theriot, Cedeno and Dempster. Johnson has already come down a bit the last couple days, Cedeno is a lot better than his 2006 season but he's likely not that good. Soto, Fukudome and Pie are largely unknown commodities. Soto is likely to come down some, but who knows how much. Pie is actually likely to go up quite a bit. Fontenot and Murton are really underplaying what they really should be. Zambrano's big problem was always walks. If he's actually figured something out, he really is as good as he's pitching. If it's just a fluke, the walks will come up. Marquis right now is not pitching very well, he's just been fortunate that it hasn't really affected his ERA. Hill, Lilly, Wuertz and Howry are much better than they've pitched thus far. Lee right now is right at his career best level (from 2005) and Ramirez is slightly above thanks to an increased patience which may or may not be fluky. Soriano is far below expected production and not even in the lineup right now. And the notion that the Brewers were somehow not overperforming as much at the start of the season last year is laughable.

Asking for PBP on a play that gave away the lead is probably a good way to get an angry response. Not that he deserved it, but it's the game thread, and many posters quite obviously have trouble keeping emotions in check in this thread.
-
Oh please, he's pitched just fine this inning. He should have had the inning ending Double play. He should have had a ton of strikes that the umps didnt call. This inning should ahve been over long ago. Giving up two hits and a walk in one inning is pitching fine? When the walk was intentional, and the second hit shouldn't have even been an issue? Sure.
-
Tie game, Marmol has pitched the last 3 days in a row?
-
Do you have any shovels or pickaxes?
-
I can't believe a scrub like Holliday could manage a double.
-
The Cubs, coming into today, had 32 runs scored from 35 chances with the bases loaded. That's not bad.
-
Well, second time this game the Rockies scored and the Cubs immediately got it back. Can't keep doing it much longer in this game, though.
-
Maybe Lou doesn't want Ward running the bases at all this year. Keep him fresh for the hitting duties. :)
-
If I'm Lou, I think about a squeeze play with Fontenot.
-
Apparently the Cubs have decided that the first pitch Cook throws is the best one they'll see in the AB, so might as well swing at it.
-
Whatever that thing is, you should get it looked at. Marquis was throwing a lot of hittable balls, high in the strike zone, and was fortunate they were a lot of "at-em" balls. Hill did the same yesterday for 10 pitches in the 6th and was pulled immediately.
-
In with the good air, out with the bad air.
-
If they can get out of the inning giving up just the one run, there's still plenty of time to get back in the game.
-
I hate to say it, but Cook has pitched very well today since the 2nd inning. It's hard to work the count when the pitcher isn't throwing pitches outside the strike zone.
-
Marquis has allowed 8 baserunners through 6 innings, good enough for a 1.33 WHIP.
