    Z is all over the place tonight. I hope to whoever is on high that Dusty wises up for once and pulls him after this inning.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    I think it's just you and me, Fred.

    Man, outside of that Nevin HR, Oswalt is cruising. It sucks something awful to have a good start for the Houston Astros.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    What are the odds Dusty doesn't take Z out after he finishes the 6th? He's had two troubled starts and he's racking the full counts up tonight despite the shutout...you'd think anyone with half a brain might think that you wouldn't want to overwork your one remain veteran starter. And bullpen-wise, when was the last time Dempster got in there? Did he pitch at all during the losing streak?
  5. Sammy Sofa
    That's not a bad idea...him 1st and Murton hitting 2nd. But who do you pick up as an impact bat for the Cubs next year and where do you put them? Man...I wish Dusty would have tried Walker leadoff and Murton 2nd.

    And throws 452 pitches in doing so, thereby rendering him armless for the rest of his natural life. In Zambrano years, that would be the age of 86. In human years, that would be 752.

    Maybe Dusty actually has gone insane. This season has snapped him.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Fired, quit, whatever...Dusty, JUST GO.

    "GRIDLOCK!!!!"

    Zambrano back on the Cy Young track, please.

    I don't think anyone here has said he would be the "best option" for the Cubs. And while it's true the Yankees have a bigger payroll, the Cubs' payroll is nothing to sneeze at. I just think Girardi would be an improvement over Baker.

    Like people are pointing out, Maddux has always done significantly better after the ASB, all throughout his career, including his latest stint with the Cubs. I wouldn't be surprised if moving to a competing team out west where he wants to be is putting a little extra "oomph" in his game, but overall he's just doing what he does as the year winds down...which is why the deal Hendry got for him is moronic. Maddux is a guy that heats up as the season goes on AND he has a ton of playoff experience. I know know a lot of people in Cubdom like to rag on him for getting older and slipping a bit, but I think Hendry could have spun dealing Maddux for a much better trade, quite possibly to even better teams.

    Is Mark Prior my grandfather? No, wait, my near-90 grandfather has less health issues... I used to scoff at the steroid idea, but really, how does a pitcher with "perfect mechanics" break down so totally and completely over the freakin' off-season?!?
  15. Sammy Sofa
    "Experienced" managers haven't done bupkis for the Cubs. At this point, I have no problem given a younger, newer manager a shot just for the sake of trying something different. What else do we have to lose? We're already damn near scraping the bottom and our dignity flew out the window a long time ago. Change it up...

    He needs to earn my love by consistently not stinking like hot garbage. So what do you want to do with Hill then? The only way he's going to get better is if he's pitching every 5th day in the big leagues. I find it funny how people criticize some of our only players who make the game interesting to watch. Seriously, what else do you want to do right now? Would you rather find some veteran off the scrap heap to win those all important 2 extra games, or would you want the younger pitchers to develop in a season that doesn't mean anything? Hill/Marshall/Marmol and now Guzman are the only reasons I'm watching this crappy team right now. It's frustrating that Hill had control problems today, but oh well. Every game is meaningless right now, so why not have the kids pitch every 5th day and learn on the job? Actually, in addition to consistently criticizing him, I've continually said there's no reason to not let him start the rest of the year, or at least give him reglar relief work. It's a waste leaving him in the minors. That said, however, I'm not terribly optimistic he will succeed in the long run.

    The Cubs will lose. End of discussion.

    Hey, Rich Hill is back!

    From Bruce's article:
  21. Sammy Sofa
    It was definitely a case of Dr. Jeckyl/Mr. Prior yesterday...after those decent starts it might as well have been his first game this year. And I know I keep saying it, but he physically looked awful as well. Maybe he's injured, or maybe he's just sick. He was very pale and pasty, dark circles around his eyes...he just generally looked very unwell.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Nobody is expecting anyone to be happy with the product Prior is putting out on the field, but how do you propose to "get rid of him?" His value is about as low as it can go and the Cubs have him cheap through the end of next year. Dumping him now for nothing is moronic.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Try not to suck too badly today, boys. Thanks.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    As it's been pointed out, you were wrong on the "only good for one year part." While nobody can deny Wood and Prior have missed way too much time to injuries, it never ceases to amaze and frustrate me when people say either pitcher only had "one good year" when for both that's far, FAR understating their careers. Secondly, the Tejada deal, if it was ever out there, wanted more than just Prior, probably Pie as well. Not worth it...not even close.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Maybe he was sick but didn't want to miss his start for fear of being ripped further by the fans and media. :?: I can only hope he has that as an excuse because otherwise he just looked pathetic.
