How many games is Ohman going to blow before we get him out of there?

Don't you think it should be on whoever's bright idea it was to make room on the roster for Pie while deciding that both Ohman and Cedeno needed to stay? There were so many people that should have been sent down before Guzman.

Very nice.

I'm calling a strikeout with one pitch on a bugs bunny change up.

At least he can't take Murton out now.

Miller gives up 6 hits and 4 walks and it's tied, you're darn right I'm ecstatic. but, but a 5.40 ERA with a 2.00 WHIP is never acceptable, right GOONY? Correct. It's an unacceptable performance by the pitcher. I'm ecstatic that they were lucky enough to still be in the game. I thought it was a quality start by Miller! He had less then his best and battled!!!! I didn't know any of his stuff was his good stuff. And 3 runs in 5 innings to the Padres isnt that great. Their offense isn't exactly mind-boggling. Thought I'd stir the pot a little.. Haha, yeah I made my post and saw there were already 20 responses.....Mission accomplished.

Those interview might not be absolutely completely horrible if they were real celebrities that would actually talk about the game. Maybe Bill Murry, Tony Almeida, Vince Vaughn and Mark Cuban would be alright we they aren't promoting something. But I really wish those interviews would go away.

It's okay, I'd rather have him get all of his sucking out now. If he gives up five runs, who cares. Thats a lot of sucking to get out....I don't know if one outing can contain it.

The Cubs hitters figured out what those wood things were for. Marquis successfully portraying a major league pitcher. But nobody's hurt, right? The subs are just because of the blow-out? soriano was hurt. any details?

It was a pretty good episode and looks to get even better.

Just got in, can someone give me the highlights?

.240/.320/.367 in 53 games .181/.263/.306 at Wrigley so yeah, he'll get 3 hits with 7 RBI. Book it Allright smartypants 8-) Last 3 years he is .348/.375/.609/.984 Yeah, but isn't the league average against the Cubs the past 3 years .450/.600/.800/1.400?

Bruce, I realize that I'm pathetic, but.....any news on Prior?

Because these weren't willing participants in a war. That doesn't make the soldiers' deaths any less tragic.

63.56/ .980/ 97%. Compare this to his career averages which are 59.77/ .965/ 96%. Age isn't slowing this baseball player (http://www.firejoemorgan.com/2007/04/baseball-players.html) down.

Telling people they aren't in their right minds if they care about baseball is crossing the line. Has there ever been a day when you cared about baseball? Well guess what, there was a horrible tragedy somewhere in the world on that day, so you must be sick.

I think this is crossing the line. Worse tragedies occur in the world everyday, so I guess nobody in their right mind could ever care about baseball.

I don't mean to be insensitive or anything, and I know several people that go to VT, but there are about 89 firearm deaths on the average day. This is a horrible tragedy, but there are tragedies everyday. You can't cancel events for every tragedy especially when there's no connection between the tragedy and the event.

Its very sad and understandable that a Cubs fan would equate 1 home run to a good start.

I think annoying is a good word for it.

Haha, Ron at his finest.

Wow. So the Cubs World Series hopes rest on the who wins the classic good/evil battle between Cliff Floyd and Matt Murton. Alright then! :lol: No, but a 25 year-old player is likely still going to improve. A 34 year-old is very likely to regress. AVG OBP SLG Floyd 0.261 0.346 0.465 Murton 0.302 0.368 0.456 These are three year averages for Murton and Floyd (only MLB AB's). Who would you rather have playing? I'd rather have both guys playing, each in the appropriate situations. Murton's likely to improve, and he's also likely to be a Cub for a while. He'll get plenty of ABs, plenty of chances to improve this year, plenty of chances to contribute. I'd play Murton almost every day. He has upside whereas Floyd does not. Moreover, since Murton is likely to be a Cub for a long time, it would behoove me to develop him as quickly as possible. Otherwise, we might bring in another veteran over him. Since, you know, he doesn't have experience. Since I'd play Murton almost all the time, when would you play him? And what is the cost to the franchise since Murton's development will be stunted. And, how many outs do you sacrifice with Floyd's lesser OBP? Actually you are wrong here.....Murton is not expected to be a starting OF for the future from what I know. The two outfielders they're expecting in the future are Pie and Colvin. Once Pie comes up, he will be the CF and Soriano will move to LF. Colvin will then go to RF. This is the reason for the limited play time of Murton. I'm sorry, but that's ridiculous. You can't give someone limited time because you think a player thats currently in A ball will take his place. Counting on Pie is one thing, but you can't count on A ball players. And Pie will probably either take Jones' spot, or Soriano will switch to RF and Pie will go to CF, probably the latter.

If it weren't for Pat, I would probably get annoyed by Ron. But since you have Pat, Ron makes the games very entertaining. Pat lets you know whats going on and Ron cheers and grunts. I like throwing a fit when the Cubs do something stupid and having Ron throwing a fit along with me in the booth.
