What the hell, man? Most of us bashing him earlier prefaced repeatedly that we WANT to be proven wrong. Now that we have been proven wrong so far, pretty much all of us are admitting we may have jumped the gun and praising Hill's stepping up to the ML level. These "told you so" posters are getting pretty tedious, especially since they're not really "catching" anyone at anything and really only seem to be wanting to annoy/embarass other posters. I mean, you pick two of my posts where I was clearly just ranting, mostly for comedic sake, and ignored the dozens of others where I actually explained why I didn't like Hill earlier and how I hoped he'd prove my apprehension wrong and all of the posts where I've specifically said he's shown that my previous opinions might very well be incorrect. Not cool.

Dusty apparently couldn't stand Maddux basically saying he's seeing better defense behind him now than he has in the last three months? I guess it could be seen as a dig by Maddux...I'd wish Dusty could be as clever when he's managing his own damn team.
-
That's true, but he did shut them out with only, what, 3 hits up through 7 innings? And 6 k's and only 1 walk? Yeah, I know Bonds wasn't there and it was an early morning, but that it is pretty dominating, and they're not a terrible team.

Thankfully it's treatable. Godspeed and good luck, Jon Lester.

Some ideas on the Cubs as they stand
Sammy Sofa replied to LuvChicagoSports's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Aardsma has at least shown he can control his fastball and strike out guys more consistently than Novoa. In short, Aardsma shows he has potential...Novoa has shown he's a disaster. -

Wait, Prior had a throat infection over the winter? I've heard multiple versions of went sent him to the hospital...what's the official word at this point, from Prior or the Cubs? -
Theriot not trying to not smile as big as possible as he rounded the bases on his HR was downright, well, adorable.

Novoa's name shouldn't even be considered as part of this team in any capacity. Not even batting practice. -
I was soooooooo wrong about Rich Hill. Ich liebe Dick!
-
Good showing by Murton and Theriot today, too. The kids are alright!
-
Nice k, Eyre. Cubs...win? What th-?!? CUBS WIN!
-
CEDENOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
-
If Hill isn't in the starting rotation when 2007 begins, I'm gonna plotz!
-
Hot damn, this was a quick game!
-
Orrrrrrr get Eyre some playing time. Well, that works.
-
Barrett seems to be in kind of a funk, hitting-wise.
-
Screw this complete game stat. It means nothing. I'd rather give Dempster a shot to help get back on track as the closer.
-
Excellent outing, Hill! *Stands* *Slow claps*
-
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but...this is when I still kinda wish we had Neifi for his defense. *Flees*
-
Awwww, nuts to that. Who the hell is Fred Lewis?
-
I petitioned to join the bandwagon a couple days ago but my application was denied because of how much I doubted Hill in the past. Then there's gonna be a long line of us waiting at the door.
-
And man, Lee just keeps getting closer and closer with his power...he would've had one today easy if it wasn't for the wind. And he got robbed of that hit by Vizquel's jumping catch. I think it's safe to say he's pretty damn close to being "back." It's sad, but this is how the Cubs should have been much of the year. Excuse me while I go and sigh heavily...
-
Now I know the Cubs haven't gotten a complete game out of a starter this year, but this seems like the perfect time to bring in Dempster in the 9th and hopefully let him shake off those 2 losses.
-
Oh, Rich Hill. You've wooed me! I'm all yours!
-
If their pitching careers give out sooner than expected, Eyre and Dempster should head out on the road as a comedy duo...
