    Oy vey. It could be a ten ton truck.

    Mabe a car will bump you in the face.

    Wasn't the whole point in sending him down to work fulltime on adjusting his swing? I'd assume that'll take some time.

    It's not a bad strategy...not a guaentee for success by any means, but better than the Cubs' "target all veterans all the time" approach.

    Except that it's not. He never had a season with a significant number of starts where he's more than 2 games under .500. Look at who else has been number 5 or better on the Cubs recently -- Rusch? Mitre? Estes? Maddux? Clement? They are all still floating around, and though Maddux is a wonder, Marquis is a clear upgrade on the others. Look at it this way, if your #5 starter is two games under .500, and your #4 starter is at .500, it's reasonable to expect your team to be at least 20 games over .500, with a strong performance from the pan and the rest of the rotation. Zambrano and Dempster have held up their ends this year, the others haven't. Yet, the problem in the rotation is the number 5 starter, even though they are .500 in his starts, and he has a better ERA than Lilly? There is every reason to believe Marquis will get bumped in the second half. Until then, he is performing exactly as would have been expected -- as a major league #5 starter. And no one has done enough to take that job away from him. We're picking starters based on W/L record? Wow. Well how else is one supposed to value a pitcher's worth? You act like there are other statistics (that are not team dependent) that are indicative of a pitcher's performance as an individual contributor. :blink: This should be in sarcastic green.

    LLF isn't known for his rational, well-reasoned conclusions around here.

    Baseball is rather bonkers so far this year in terms of the teams leading the divisions. While I prefer the White Sox losing, I wouldn't mind the off chance the Cubs and the Sawx meeting in October.

    Give this post a standing ovation until your hands bleed.

    Bill Murray should always do it.

    Haven't they supposedly been trying hard to trade Marquis for months now? Just release him and be done with it. Nobody wants to give up players for that hump and his bag of money.

    It's frustrating to see yet another game where the bullpen does its job and locks down the game and the bats can do absolutely nothing in a juice box of a park against a craptacular pitcher.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    The Cubs don't have a leadoff problem.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    I enjoy fun. Nice.

    I don't know, I love them both so much. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i101/augustine1014/station.jpg OH, WAIT! WINNAR IS ME. http://www.billandted.org/pics/bj/bjstation2.jpg

    The "O" tricked me with it's pseudo-Q-ness. God, it's all the way over on the keyboard. I suck.

    QFMFT. Classic Pedro can't be touched. Watching him pitch in those days is the closest I'll ever come to seeing a real life superhero.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    I would say you are wrong. Golden era Pedro is just disgustingly better than anything ever.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    If you can barely hit Chris Sampson, sorry, you deserve to lose that game.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAH! Fontenot.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    FAKE RALLY IN FULL EFFECT.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Go sit down and paint on another moustache, Soto.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Valverde freakin' rules. Quit hatin'.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    I hate the Cubs losing, but I do love Valverde's insanity.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    FUKUGRAB.
