    Got a feeling it'll be Ronny that goes down tomorrow, seeing as he's gotten practically no action on the field over the past week, and at least Pie is getting late-inning defensive work. Now I'd prefer Pie play every day and go down and work on his hitting, but I don't think that is what will happen.

    Crazy idea....maybe the Cubs should just let Santo do the stretch. Every day.

    Even though Zimmerman is currently hitting around .230, I'd still prefer not to face him with guys on... Belliard fly-out! Time to stretch.

    Ok, focus a little bit, guys. Sheesh.

    Hey, Lou is using Ohman correctly. EDIT: Hey, and he's actually using the double switch in the right way! 2 for 2! EDIT 2: LOL, first Cherry-Pie double switch.
  6. bukie
    I support Ohman's use against left-handed hitters. As long as he throws strikes today.

    are you joking or what? Yeah, I bet if we put together a team of only Japanese players, they'd never be able to beat players from other countries in an international exhibition. They would simply be over matched...

    I think it just means that we're abusing our pitchers less than any other team in the NL. I bet after 27 games last year under Dusty, the team had like TWICE the IP. Is the stat for just starters or for all pitchers? For all pitchers, which just means the Cubs have played the fewest games in the NL.

    Expecting? At least 5 innings, fewer runs allowed than innings pitched, and more strikeouts than walks. Hoping for? 6 IP, 2 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, less than 100 pitches.

    OK, now that is impressive. Although I do think a few of those trades were made on sheer publicity more than what he had to offer.

    Maybe Beane is trying to play that game where you start with a penny, and go around the neighborhood, trading what you have for something slightly better, until you end up with something enormous. In other words, he'll trade for A-Rod in a couple weeks.

    They very well could run away with the NL Central. Especially if no other team plays well.

    I have a feeling this could be the biggest blowout final in a long while for the Champions League. Milan definitely remembers 2 years ago, and they likely won't let up, even if they get a 3 goal lead.

    Has Marquis ever been this good before? EDIT: I mean, even in his supposed "good" years his peripheral stats weren't that good. I wonder how fluky this is.

    Toronto holds on...barely. Hard to see them winning game 6 in Jersey unless they start playing worlds better.

    Only so much as "Holy crap, an Illini player actually got drafted?".
  18. bukie
    Apparently not quite optimistic enough. Although the Mavs and Rockets picks are already wrong.
  19. bukie
    Hoping for one of Olsen, Harris, Meacham, Posluszny, or Jarrett to fall to the Bears, at least.
  20. bukie
    With the absurd run on defense, there are plenty of offensive options available. I don't think Cleveland picked Olson, either...

    Glad that Quinn got to go to his childhood team. Hope that it pans out for him, as he seems like a good kid.
  22. bukie
    If, by some odd reason, Quinn falls to the Bears, I would be ecstatic.
  23. bukie
    Because he went to Notre Dame, and people treat Notre Dame like the Yankees or Lakers.

    I think if the Raiders want the most sure thing this year out of college, they should just draft Calvin Johnson, trade for/sign a FA QB, draft a project QB in the later rounds, and call it good. EDIT: And for the record, I'm an Illini fan, not a ND fan. This is shaping out to be a fairly boring first couple of hours of the draft for the Bear/Illini fans.

    What's the difference? Level of competition makes it easier to get a higher rating in college? The main difference is that there is no upper limit, so a Colt Brennan got something like a 186 rating this year to set the record for highest rating. A league-average rating is basically 79, though. EDIT: Formulas: The college formula is as follows: (100 * Completion %) + (8.4 * Yds per att) + (330 * Td %) - (200 * Int %). Pros is (Completion PCT) + (YPA) + (TD per attempt) + (INT per attempt) divided by 6, times 100. A simplified way to calculate rating is: (83.33 * Comp %) + (4.16667 * Yds per att) + (333.333 * TD pct) - (416.667 * INT pct) + 25/12.
