Nor should he be! Thanks, Bruce. -
http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/baseball/bal-osqa222,0,1982196.story Oh God, another month of this? If the bolded above is true........... count me out! And PLEASE NOT ANOTHER MONTH OF THIS!!!!!

My 10 month old said "Dadda daddadadda dad dadddddda daddddda da da da da" That's right! Z's winning a Cy Young Award and the Cubs are going all the way! It's just what I heard and it is for the betterment of the team! Seriously, though. Hearing something and hearing something from a "SOURCE" are totally different things.

He's not 51 yet so the Giants where not interested.

If you take out Felix Pie's first 2 seasons (at 17 and 18 yrs old) his numbers would go way up. There should be no argument that Felix Pie is a better player then Sam Fuld. No offense to Fuld, but Pie has a much higher ceiling and more talent in which to reach his ceiling. Can Fuld play SS? :grin:
-
Apparently, you haven't seen much! Welcome to the board, though.
-
I'm getting a bit tired of the Sam Fuld talk. Talent wise he's not even comparable to Pie. Pie should be given every opportunity to succeed in CF this year. Throw him out there and let the kid play. Maybe it's just the Cubs trying to talk Fuld up so they can get some value for him. I just don't ever foresee Sam Fuld being an average/above average MLB player. He's Theriot in the OF. Sorry for the rant!

This is all awesome for IU, they should hire Huggins next! Great Great news for Indiana!

He did not name Roberts specifically and went on to say that "they" were still talking to a couple clubs, but he didn't really expect a deal. He also said he was happy with team as is. Also, he didn't say he wouldn't use Wood in saves positions until he went 3 days straight. He just said that he didn't know if Wood could go 3 days straight and they would have to see what he could do. Said his arm was in much better shape then last year. Last year, his arm hurt and then it didn't............ then it did again. This year Kerry has done everything that the other guys have done and his stuff is "electric." Note: Dempster as the #3 scares the bejesus out of me!

Cubs not showing any respect to local school???
cbbryan replied to rabidawg900's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yeah, it's obviously a gun problem. :roll: -
Well, the only good thing is that Lou won't die with the line-up. If Theriot isn't getting the job done he'll be moved fairly quickly. Especially if everyone else is doing their jobs. I'm quietly hoping Cedeno removes his head from his arse and forces Theriot out at SS. That's just my preference though.

No. That's a ridiculous example. They are so far apart in production to make the innings difference worthless. Here's Vasquez and Lilly's 2002: Vasquez: 230 1/3 IP, 3.91 ERA, 1.268 WHIP Lilly: 100 IP, 3.69 ERA, 1.11 WHIP Which season would you take on your team? I was trying to qualify your statement earlier as only taking the innings in effect and not the production, but obviously you meant something different then you stated. I'd take Lilly and make him pitch 100 more innings! But if I knew he was only going to pitch 100 innings, I'd probably take Vasquez. 100 innings is most likely an injury year for Lilly at this point.
-
I still think Pie will be a better player. He just needs the time to develop. He's young and I really hope the Cubs don't give up on him.
-
True for last year, but Lilly had a better year the year before and he was in a tougher AL division going up against the Yanks and Red Sox. They're a really close comparison in my mind and it's hard to predict who will be better from one year to the next. Lilly should have a slight edge with the NL Central, but it doesn't make him any less of a pitcher then Vasquez. Would you take 200 innings of a Jason Marquis or 198 innings of Pedro Martinez? Innings pitched does not quantify how good a pitcher is. In part, it does. Every inning that your starter doesn't pitch is filled by your 6th best pitcher. Would you rather have 200 innings of a guy with 3.7 ERA or 160 innings of a guy with 3.5 ERA? I'd take the 200 inning guy because the likelihood is that the other 40 innings are filled with either a bad starter who had to fill in or has burnt out the bullpen. If that 40 innings is filled with a starter who has an ERA of 5, then the 200 innings of 3.7 is better. So you'd take Marquis over Pedro?

Especially when Paul Bako has the winning hit.

FREE FELIX PIE!!!!!

First of all, they forgot about Aram... No way Vazquez is better than lilly. Is there bullpen and back of the rotation good? I don't know much about the sox. are you serious? vazquez was better than lilly last year, and he'll be better than lilly this year. Vasquez was slightly better last year and Lilly was better the year before. They're pretty equal if you ask me. Career ERA+: Vasquez 105 Lilly 103

A multitude of Jim Edmonds staged diving catches in CF.

Very cool NC, thanks! -
Report: Colon to the Sox
cbbryan replied to 98navigator's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Indeed. We should trade them Dempster for their rotation. -
We need an ignore thread option. Roberts still doesn't make sense to me unless DeRo is playing SS.
-
Illinois at #23 seems a bit low. Do they think Mendenhall was the only reason Illinois was good? He'll be tough to replace, but I think Illinois will be in the thick of the Big Ten race.
-
Personally, I hope he wins 7 cy youngs to shove in the face of every douchebag Cubs fan that called him names for the past 4 years. But that's just me. I miss him already. :cry: I was kind of looking forward to hoping to seeing him pitch again too.
-
I think Hendry's more focused on finding an ideal #7 hitter right now. He may just not have time to address all the dire needs.
