But has it been baseballatically proven? I don't think so. Keep your facts to yourself please. This is a no-thinking zone.

Because if you haven't noticed we haven't been exactly scoring runs lately, so dusty has to try to get runs anyway you can. I have no problem with that play. They haven't been scoring runs partly because Dusty makes it harder to score by giving up runs. They've been pulling this crap throughout the whole slump, it's not going to make things different. Oh c'mon! You are blaming Dusty for the Cubs not scoring runs? I'm not the biggest Baker fan, but c'mon! We can't score runs because our guys can't get a hit when it counts. READ THE FREAKING POST. I said partly. Sac bunting hurts your chances. Repeatedly sac bunting is just going to reduce your run totals. It's no way to get out of a slump.

Did he? That's fantastic.

I don't think the wildness should be that much of a surprise. He's had very few innings pitched the past 2 years. He's just getting back into the rhythm.
-
At 90 pitches or so he's got to be pulled anyway doesn't he? I mean...its not like he's thrown 90 over 7 and has been in control. 30+ pitch innings by guys his age are not a good idea. Absolutely. The San Fran announcers talked about how many high effort innings Hill had racked up even though his total was relatively managable. 87 with such struggles is much harder than 87 smoothly over 8 innings.
-
Not obvious enough...I missed it at first.... :oops: Me neither. I thought he was at first, but then he seemed serious. But I thought about cheapseats and I thought there was no way he could be serious. And then I flip flopped to him being serious. :oops: :oops: Don't think, it can only hurt the team.
-
Especially since Dusty doesn't keep track of pitch counts. Was it Baylor who said they didn't keep track? I think Dusty might keep track but he just doesn't care how high it goes. He just likes numbers.

Is it me or is cheepseats obviously kidding about the Mabry power hitter comparisons?
-
Way to ram it in there big guy.
-
Wow, Santo took a smart pill today. He wants patience.
-
No worries Neifi, that's going to go down in the book as a lineout. Santo wants more groundouts.

If only it were warmer.

Life as a Cubs fan == disappointment thus far.

Santo the analyst: Gosh!

Baseball America's May 11 Daily Dish: Luis Montanez

I'm pretty sure they did try him at 2B early on. It was largely injury, but Nic doesn't have much of a performance history to fall back on. Career line of .264/.321/.411. He had a career K/BB of 202/69 coming in, that's worse than Dave Kelton. -
What's your excuse for drinking Bud Lite? And what is Bud Lite anyway, some sort of crazy merged Miller and Anheuser product?

Hot dogs have so much more worth than a simple monetary value.

Dusty needs to try something different. Obviously all the other lineups aren't working. So I can't blame Dusty at all. Walker been in a major slump for the past 10 days. Neifi at the top is hardly different. He was there all last year and the offense sucked.
-
I don't mean for this to sound the way it sounds but did Baker or Hendry actually say that they were trying to spark the Cubs by bringing up Theriot? It seems more likely that they just didn't like Restovich and wanted someone else that was already on the 40 man roster to replace him.

I was called in one time for [acting angry]. They said it wasn't indicative of my personality when I was with the Dodgers, tearing up stuff. So they wanted me to seek some counseling. "I remember [former Braves manager] Eddie Mathews turned over a food spread once. What good does that do? To get your blood pressure up, and you can die of a heart attack? After Eddie turned it over one time, it was hot dogs, and we thought it was ridiculous. We even went and washed the hot dogs and ate 'em."
-
The one about how worthless it is to flip tables in the clubhouse? Yeah, a rare moment of lucidity by Dusty. I like that they picked up the hot dogs cleaned them off and ate them.
-
Different sense of urgency w/Cubs and Yanks?

Hendry has always taken an extremely passive, "things will work themselves out" attitude toward their roster. -
I'm cheering for rain today. Mother Nature is more dependable than the Cubs.

"Kerry Wood has made more money here in Des Moines than the CIETC executives," said Steve Pilchen, the radio personality and local comedian who goes by The Round Guy. "I'm not saying that he's been here a whole lot, but he's just bought a house next door to Archie Brooks." Those crazy Iowan comedians.
