    Yeah, perhaps I wasn't clear. I understand spending money does not equal winning. I'm trying to illustrate that the poor spending wasn't exacerbated by injuries or poor pitching, but rather that the team has overall numbers around what was expected, if not from the exact sources they were expected from, and yet they are in terrible shape this far into the season. We have 3 starters with top 12 WHIPS in the league we have qualified hitters with OPS of .902 .881 .879 .842 We're getting outstanding production from an unexpected source in Colvin Marmol and Marshall are having career years in the bullpen What I'm saying is in the history of baseball, perhaps no team has been handled as poorly as the 2010 Chicago Cubs. Just trying to put it in perspective. Hill starting way too much , Grabow in tough spots over and over. Our worst hitter getting the most ABs, The wrong pinch hitter seemingly every time. Many teams have to deal with similar problems, but those teams don't have better options. The Cubs do. Management is fumbling on an epic level.

    The Chicago Cubs have the highest payroll in the league, an above average pitching staff and have been relatively injury-free, yet they are floundering at 6 games under .500. This has to be an anomaly, right? It seems whenever a top-payroll team vastly underperforms it is due to a rash of injuries or terrible pitching. Is there a precedent for this? If not, does it tell us anything about this team (other than,"fire Lou, fire Hendry, etc")?
  3. muntjack
    I find your point of view wildly incorrect.

    Here's what I'm confused about nuts&gum..... If Colvin hits 13 more homeruns this year is it still a loooooooonnnnnnnnnnng shot that he'll hit 20 HRs in a full season?
  5. muntjack
    That's still a loooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng shot. The guy is on pace for 20 in just 280 ABs and it's a loooooooooong shot that he would hit 20 in a full season?

    McNutt's line now: 5IP 1H 1BB 10K
  7. muntjack
    Soto is not a happy man.
  8. muntjack
    God I hate it. Marmol finds the zone and then has to intentionally walk someone. Terrible.
  9. muntjack
    Ugh. Colvin smoked that.
  10. muntjack
    Lilly's gonna go 8IP 1ER and lose.

    Here, here. I want a 2011 Top 5-10 draft pick, and for that to Cubs need to continue what they are doing. Except the Cubs are the organization where draft position matters the least. We'll just take a projected 7th rounder with the 5th pick so what difference does it make?

    Funny thing about this season, I think we could have a fire sale while arguably improving the team THIS season as well. Hard to say what some of the younger guys would do but this doesn't look so bad to me: Dempster Zambrano Gorzellany Cashner Jackson Wells Stevens Howry Russell Marshall Marmol Fontenot/Baker 2B Castro SS Byrd CF Colvin RF Soto C Nady 1B Soriano LF Tracy/Aramis 3B We'd be getting rid of Lee, Fukudome, Lilly and Silva, quite possibly adding some decent pieces to the farm and adding a lot of flexibility next year.

    lolololol. What a beautiful move. Perfect time to put our top prospect in the rotation and get him innings and we bypass him for Mitch Atkins.
  14. muntjack
    Thank god, Howry in to stop the bleeding. Really though, the more we use him in these situations the less likely Lou brings him in in important spots.
  15. muntjack
    What I wouldn't give to see us give Cashner a shot in the rotation.
  16. muntjack
    When Aramis hit that HR a few weeks ago, he had a look like "finally. thank god". It seemed like the look of a player who cared that he was struggling. For what it's worth.

    You are the most oblivious [expletive] person in the world no, it is a fair question. Len and bob announce this name at the beginning of the inning to win 1100 powerball tickets is someone hits a homerun. I just want to know if any cub has hit a homerun during the particular inning. Now, if you didn't know you didn't have to say a thing, but obviously it makes you feel better to use language that big people use in movies. When you graduate from high school feel free to engage in a conversation with adults in a mature manner. Oblivious isn't "language that big people use in movies" to most people. Its just a damn word. Pretty sure he meant the expletive lol

    Best backup catcher in baseball.
  19. muntjack
    I'm willing to bet a lot of the walks Soto accrued over the year have been a result of him hitting in the bottom of the lineup in front of some pitchers and dubiously weak hitters Then why don't most #8 hitters have high OBP%s?
  20. muntjack
    No, when Soto's going good (see the month that preceded this slump) he leads the world in OBP%. Koyie Hill will never do anything remotely resembling that.
  21. muntjack
    Wait a sec. Isn't his OPS over .800? Career AND this season?
  22. muntjack
    Actually wouldn't mind Wells giving up a few more if it meant Cashner could get a few innings.
  23. muntjack
    Evidently that''s not the case.
  24. muntjack
    27 year old catcher with a career and season OPS over .800 is going to be our new backup.
  25. muntjack
    Greatest inning ever. 4 pitches, one of them hit for a double. Inning over.
