    Remember Todd Wellemeyer?? Yeah, I do too. :cry: To this day I cringe whenever any Cub reliever debuts solidly. Welly K'ing the side for the save in the 16th of that Brewers game still sticks out.

    agreed...if the cubs can just take every series on this roadtrip i would be so happy! but we'll see GO CUBS The thing is, the Cubs have put themselves in such a hole that they need to start sweeping some series. Sure, if we took every 3-game series 2/3 the rest of the year, we'd probably compete, but it's probably not going to happen. So when you win the first 2 games of a series in the Cubs' position, you need to finish it off. And they've lost the last 4 times they've taken the first two of a set.

    He's gonna need to go nuts for that to happen. Wells, Sizemore, GMJ, Granderson, and Damon are all in front of him, production wise. Oh man. Imagine GMJ and Corey making the all-star team. Combine that with Pierre being much worse than 05 Neifi and you'd have the perfect storm of CF disaster.

    Murt will be fine. It's looking more and more like it's really more of a slump than anything. He is hacking at a couple too many first pitches for my liking, but we may be overreacting a little to every time he does that, so it seems like he's doing it more than he is. I'd let it go till the ASB before we really need to get concerned. And he has to pick up the power - I knew he probably wouldn't have as much as he did last year but I still thought he'd push 20 dingers.

    Womack CF Murton LF (once he heats up again anyway) Walker 2B Ramirez 3B Nevin 1B Jones RF Barrett C Cedeno SS With Jones and Barrett switching against lefties I might be crazy, but that looks like a pretty damn good lineup. And once DLee gets back, we won't need Walker in the middle of the order, so... Murton LF Walker 2B Lee 1B Ramirez 3B Jones/Nevin RF Barrett C Womack CF Cedeno SS With two .350-plus OBP guys at the top of the order, two really good boppers at 3-4, two solid power hitters at 5-6, and two guys who would be acceptable at the bottom of the order, this lineup could go a long way. But all this would be contingent on Pierre getting shipped out, which I just don't think JH or Dusty will live with.

    It will take 94 wins, and STL will be that team. I doubt any other team puts up more than 84.

    Walker is always really good especially for a 2B (granted he is playing 1B most of this year so far), and while his SLG is down this year, he's on pace to have his best full-season OBP since 1998 with Minnesota. A lot of teams are probably wishing they'd thrown Hendry a bone this off-season because he's been very good (in the field too, with only 2 errors at 1B).

    Today's was pretty chuckle-worthy, I think.

    Neifi Gaetti?Gaetti hit the GW HR in the 1998 one game playoff, thereby instantly revoking him from that list.

    It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. http://houston.astros.mlb.com/images/2004/08/28/qiLbdXQq.jpg

    Marquis has 8 wins though, which is enough to completely invalidate wins as a pitcher statistic.
  12. Andy
    Neifi
  13. Andy
    Oh well...the Cubs are doing ok at pitcher for the moment.
  14. Andy
    That's ABSURD that Molina, Ausmus and Lo Duca are all ahead of Barrett. Nothing short of ABSURD.
  15. Andy
    Most of the entrants had Pujols, and I think Truffle was among them. I find it odd that the best two players in the NL last year are now both on the shelf.
  16. Andy
    I saw Pujols got injured. :shock:

    That's Ball State, dyngus! :wink:
  18. Andy
    :D He's a keeper...

    Count me as a Dallas fan for a couple weeks. :)

    This should be interesting - can any team in the division take advantage of this or will the Cards be able to hold on for a while?
  21. Andy
    Who's going down? (I'd guess Novoa since he pitched 3 innings today - I hope they don't send down the Aardvark) Edit - Nevermind, just saw Williamson will be DL'ed

    What an accomplishment. Contract extensions for everybody.Boo for having cardinals of any sort in your sig As a Ball State student I wholeheartedly disagree! And yet, there's a complete lack of such birds in your sig. Not anymore :D

    Good friggin lord, I come home from work, get to see the end of the Cubs game, see that Ball State is one step from the regional championships in the NCAA baseball tourney, then come on to read the game thread and OMC has delivered me the greatest comedy gift ever. Thank you OMC for coming on NSBB drunk tonight. Note: Longest game thread since 4/9 (Marshall v. Ponson). Nice work, fellas.
