    Anybody else having issues with the WGN braodcast? I'm getting a lot of picture jumping and sound interruptions.

    Well, based on that ^^^^^^, we should see a lineup that includes Murton in LF, DeRo at 2B, and Cedeno at SS. Hopefully something like this: Johnson Murton Lee Ramirez Fukudome DeRo Soto Cedeno Dempster

    Yes, yes they are that good. The best 1-2 punch in the league for starting pitchers, lots of young talent up and down their lineup. The only thing I'm not so sure about is their pen, but only because I can't really name anybody in except for Brandon Lyon and maybe Juan Cruz still? I'm curious to see if their offense will sustain itself with seemingly low contact guys in CF and at 3B in Young (I think) and Reynolds.

    Lou's response to ole Marty: Cubs manager Lou Piniella shrugged off Brennaman's comments. "He is a Cincinnati guy," Piniella said. "He's rooting for the Reds. I don't think our fans are obnixious. The fans get into the ballgame, and they enjoy coming to the baseball game, and that is why they draw the way they do here."

    Eventually the players are going to realize they ain't as good as their April is suggesting, and by May the Cards will fall back into their spot in the NL Central. You can't rely on 4 crappy pitchers, and one good pitcher for the whole season. Didn't we say the same thing in '06??? They actually did fall back to their place in '06, unfortunately everybody else in the division was so horrible, they couldn't take advantage of the division winner only having 83 frickin' wins.

    I think he just went on the DL yesterday, didn't he?
  7. mul21
    He's finally close enough to the real Beltran to really see how good he is and is now realizing his potential?

    I don't see the big deal with 103 for Z. Not like Dusty leaving Prior out there for 130 with an 8 run lead. But why is Z hitting?

    I don't really mind the Cardinals beating the Brewers. Obviously one of those teams has to lose. I'm more worried about Milwaukee this season than the Cards. But yes, after the Milwaukee series, they should start losing. Then I'll be pretty happy with the way things are going. Unfortunately, I think they get the Giants this weekend. I'm pretty sure I have tickets to the game on Friday night. Just looked and at least the Cards have to face Cain and Lincecum on Friday and Saturday.

    Z! Crushing the ball and breaking bats tonight.

    So I'm in the thriving metropolis of Henderson, KY and much to my delight, they get FSN Ohio here so I'm watching the game and listening to Thom (gayest way to spell a name ever) Brennamen and Jeff Brantley (I think) pontificate on baseball. Not as good as Pat and Ron or Bob and Len, but better than I get in St. Louis. Great game, just curius to know how everybody feels about all the 2nd basemen playing tonight. :lol:

    I can't believe how dumb this is. I was thinking this would happen this morning when Brenly told North it wasn't a foregone conclusion that Murton would be coming up. I thought of EPatt because they would think they needed a speedy lefty to hit leadoff instead of making the smart move. Ugh.

    If so, that's one hell of a guard. He is. To be fair, Kidd is a horrible shooter so it's not a surprise. And Jason's court vision and passing are amongst the best. But body type, speed while Kidd was in his prime, etc. are very similar. I'd take Rose over Beasley. To be fair, I told you how good he was a month and a half ago and got ripped for it. Good to see you have came to your senses. Rose should be the first pick in this draft. Power forwards are there every year, but a great point guard is there every 5-10. I would be shocked if Derrick Rose ever became any kind of transcendent player, which is what a better shooting Jason Kidd would be (Oscar Robertson). I'd be shocked if he doesn't become a guy who does for his team what Chris Paul and Deron Williams do, and maybe a little better. He's got better physical makeup than either of those 2 (bigger than Paul, faster than Williams) and if he develops his shooting a little more, which it looks to me like he will be able to do, he can easily be a franchise PG. Maybe not Oscar Robertson, but a fantastic NBA PG for a long time.

    Can somebody explain this to me? Nope, and that's why everybody hates the current system so much.
  16. mul21
    Good read. My only question for the guy is, if he was so unhappy why not say anything? I mean, the article says the other coaches had no idea he was miserable. I think you have to tell somebody. But good for him for doing his own thing and getting himself a 2nd shot.

    Maybe Samardzija can start in CF. Will sharkfan be happy with the Cubs then?

    Has Kyler Burke done anything of note yet so far? I've been trying to look at the results from the game threads but haven't seen him play much. Any reason for that?
  19. mul21
    Uh, yeah, Towles was at least a foot, maybe two, in front of the plate and Pujols had to go well out of his way to get to him. And way to completely miss the point. Rose's hit on the catcher in that all star game was totally clean and he hit him in the chest, he didn't go for his ankles.
  20. mul21
    well done, let's go get a couple in Philly
  21. mul21
    He's hit the ball pretty well tonight, just right at people. and he still drew a walk. If this is a bad game from Fukudome, I'll take it. So who is the player of the game, Geo or Liebs? I think you have to throw Fontenot in there as a candidate as well, but I vote for Lieber. He SAVED US tonight. :mrgreen:
  22. mul21
    Less than 2 minutes til a new Scrubs!! Woo-hoo!! And damn that free credit report commercial. Ugh.
  23. mul21
    He may just be spent. He's almost 40 and isn't used to throwing that many pitches right now.
  24. mul21
    Quick question: If Howry finishes the game, does he get a save since the tying run is in the on-deck circle?
  25. mul21
    So we're not going to get into the douchebaggery of Pujols going after Towles ankles? I didn't have a problem with Pujols trying to make a point, but don't go after a guys knees or ankles, it's just dirty and uncalled for.
