  1. Wuertz has looked bad. It's making the Howry signing look even better. Last year, had Wuertz performed like that, I would have been worried. Now, with Dempster closing and Howry, Eyre, Williamson, and Ohman ahead of Wuertz in the pen, his role is not nearly as important. If no one gets hurt, this should be a pretty good pen, especially when compared to last year. That's a big IF though. And if they pitch well, that's an important if too. Pitching, much like the Big-10 is overrated. :wink:

  3. I agree about the media, but in the most recent case he was on the radio and I happened to hear it. I listen to sports talk radio every day in my 1+ hour commute. Walker was a semi-regular on the Mack-Jerko and Harry show last year. At times he does get egged on though. I don't want this to turn into another Walker/Hairston thread.
  4. 7-4 in the other game as Wuertz is getting shelled.
  5. Wuertz is really hurting his chances.
  6. Yes because people's mouths (whatever that means) have such an impact on the game on the field. BeerPrediction: Hairston gets the nod at 2B and Walker demands a trade.
  7. I completely agree. Decent speed, good D and he plays a few positions as well. What Walker brings to the table offensively he more than gives up with his mouth.
  8. Hairston 2B I might be the only guy here that hopes he starts over Walker.
  9. Apologies I really only get involved at tourny time. March Madness is a lot of fun expecially if you can get into some office pools etc. I'm not a basketball fan, but the NCAA tournament is too much fun to pass up.
  10. For the record...BH = Bradley grad. We don't get to gloat very often so take me with a grain of salt today.
  11. Cedeno is starting to heat up with another double today.
  12. Did he get on because of an error? I thought they said something about the 2nd baseman booting the ball, but I might not be right. They didn't say but I have to believe it was an error.
  13. Sweeney gets thrown out trying to steal third.
  14. Bottom 3 5-0 Cubs No idea how they scored
  15. Doesn't look like it. Some station n SF. http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/subscriptions/gameday_audio.jsp
  16. I don't know how to judge that. Pitching results in the Cactus League are pretty pointless. Especially for those who rely on breaking balls. I didn't know that my wife was pitching in Mesa. Thanks I'll be here all night. And be sure to tip your waitress.
