Bob Melvin fired
mul21 replied to hardcorecubfan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
MLB network was talking to John Heyman last night about the whole deal and he was saying that management was unhappy about the inconsistent play, particularly the hot start last year and then playing like 10 games under the rest of the season. He also said they were unhappy about player development, particularly that of Carlos Quentin and Bonifacio since they have both gone elsewhere and done well. -
Kind of the problem with shoulders, there's so much soft tissue supporting so much stress, there really is no normal. It sucks because you're never really out of the woods. It's why shoulder problems are typically a lot tough er to come back from than elbows.

Apparently he doesn't watch much baseball. That was just last week he got drilled in the helmet right?
-
Gameday crapped out. I'm assuming Gathright sucked and then Sori went yard? Gathright is hitting for Bradley. Miles walked for the pitcher and then Sori crushed one. Maybe that's what caused it. They have Joey in the 9 and Marmol in Bradley's spot.

What was that?

And taking forever.

The city's ok, it's the majority of the people that suck.

I figured it did depend on the injury. A shoulder injury like that just doesn't seem it would be that miserable. But hey, I'm not the one dealing with it. I've rehabbed my shoulder twice, not necessarily to the extent Prior is trying to do, but I was getting my program from the Cardinals team doctor so it wasn't too far off. It's not that bad because you can only do so much to the shoulder in a day before the muscles get tired. Really, he probably can't do more than a couple hours of work on the shoulder and then play some catch/long toss or whatever throwing program they've got him on.

How many quarterbacks with bad shoulders that need to be surgically repaired have had good seasons at age 40? Fixed
-
Since Cutler has become a starter.. Cutler - 45 turnovers in 1220 pass attempts Favre - 47 turnovers in 1257 pass attempts And this is with a so called "injury prone, to old decling Favre". So you're comparing a rookie QB in his first 30+ starts to a guy who's been playing for 15+ years in terms of mistakes made? Way to compare apples to oranges. I think the probability of Cutler getting better and Favre getting worse are both about 90%. ETA: I see I'm not the only one. Also, I heard something yesterday about Favre possibly having the biceps tendon fixed surgically and still being ready for mini camps and training camp. Anybody else hear anything similar.

Zambrano Rehab Start Sun 12pm CT (p. 5)
mul21 replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Given Piniella's hatred for Fox and the existence of Hoffpauir I doubt they'd callup Fox. Gathright absolutely has to go. IF they decide later that they want a speedy guy to play CF once a month that can't hit at all they still have Sam Fuld at AAA. Did Piniella say something that indicates he hates Fox, or is that just speculation? I'm pretty sure it goes back to that incident at the end of 2007 when Fox missed a sign or swung away at the first pitch after the pitcher had walked a couple guys. Something along those lines, and then he got like 2 more ABs the rest of September or maybe even got sent back to Iowa. -
Those who want Amare and are bitching about defense are nuts. He plays less defense than anybody currently on the Bulls roster.
-
Pitch count for Marshall?
-
No kidding I am five hours south of Chicago and I am still able to get all the games (CSN+ included) and that would be a great deal better. What do you use currently? Pain and suffering of only watching when they're on WGN or national TV. I did get a subscription to MLB radio which is a good deal ($15) since WGN radio doesn't quite reach my office during the day or when I'm on the road.
-
Yes, yes it is. Which is a bummer because I needed something interesting to get me through the afternoon. Does it affect Marshall's thought process at all to know he's got to pitch well with that crap lineup out there behind him? Hey I have a question...forgive me if this is off topic, but how do you watch the Cub games? I am moving to the St. Louis area this fall for grad school, and am wondering what my options are. Do you get MLB.TV or is there anyway to get CSN there. I would assume WGN is available (superstation). I know yesterday's GDT talked about blackouts and I wouldn't think that the Cubs are blacked out in the city. If you get mlb.tv you'll only be blacked out for Saturday afternoon games and Cardinals games. Obviously, you can watch the Cardinals broadcast then, though. Thank you I would have asked you too but didn't want to derail the thread. That is probably what I will be doing. I was planning on getting mlb.tv and can live with watching the Cards announcers for the Cubs-Cards games. Slingbox FTW. I'm thinking about getting one and hooking it up at my dad's in Rockford. No WCIU games, but still a lot more than I get now.

Wow. I find this a little hard to believe. Also, as far as him using steroids in high school, the allegations I heard on TV last night that are supposedly in this book are ridiculous (assuming I was paying enough attention to recall them correctly). I think she's basically claiming he was a twig in HS, juiced, and all of a sudden completely filled out to a world class athlete (something like 50 or 75lbs +). I guess it could be possible, but I just don't buy it. Plus, his HS coach was on TV last night and completely denied everything and said he gained 30 lbs over the course of 3 years. Granted he may just be covering A-Rod's ass, but I would think if he thought A-Rod was juicing he would have just kept his mouth shut concerning the matter. The excerpt I heard was something that was a little more realistic to think a guy was juicing. The one I heard was that he went from being able to lift 100 lbs. on the bench press one spring to putting up over 300 within a 6-8 month period. That would take either some kind of freakish capability for muscle growth or steroids. In either case, I'm amazed there wasn't some sort of ridiculous muscle tear if this story is accurate. Your body just can't handle those kinds of gains without breaking down in some way.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 5-04-2009
mul21 replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
What's preferable, having him make that start on 9 days rest, or having him start today and just go 3-4 innings and then start Friday on 3 days rest. I would think it would be better to have a guy make his starting debut coming off short rest and a light workload rather than unusually long rest. He's already going to have the adrenaline flowing. I was thinking the exact same thing as I was reading the previous posts. If they know they're going to use him Friday, get him 60-70 pitches today and them bring him back on 3 days rest Friday. Is this the guy who was a Cards farmhand at one point? I can never remember if he's the same guy. -
Huh? Edit: I see I'm not the only one.

This was my favorite part:

Only if you can do the same for KG's non-playing d-baggery.

Looks like he's trying to flap his wings to get up the court. That's awesome and may have to be my new sig.

Article on Yahoo sports. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=AiQ_pku2O0T4KY9kjKXHILW8vLYF?slug=ap-rondo-hinrichskirmish&prov=ap&type=lgns My question is, why didn't Rondo get an additional technical for the elbow on top of the flagrant for throwing him into the scorer's table?

Fukie to 3rd, Johnson in CF.
