    Haha, the reaction in the dugout was great, and so was Aramis' first swing, he wanted to get one too.

    There it is! Crushed.

    I know that I said some very unkind things this offseason, and may I be the first to wish that Tim never fixes search, so that if you come to this board, you will never see them. May your next 120 starts be this strong. (If they aren't, you're still a waste) Love, IMB!

    WHO? Christ, that scared me to death.

    no kidding. The only thing that is keeping me from buying a Rich Hill jersey is the fact that the last thing I bought with a Cub's name on it was a Mark Prior shirt. He went down the crapper, and I'm afraid of doing the same thing to Rich. I really wish I could go back and forget 2002 all together. Remember when they used to have the "Prior Watch" or whatever it was, during WGN games? On Prior's day to pitch, they would always keep track of how he was doing and pass it down. This was before NSBB, so it was really how I kept up with Mark. The team was bad that year, but it was so exciting seeing how incredible he was doing.

    What a sad story :(

    Of course they all start out in the low minors. Everyone does. That's not even the point of what the scouts said. What do you think I just pulled this out of my ass? Jesus. This is absurd, and I'm tired of defending it. Yet I bet you keep doing it. What was the point of what the scouts said, then? Was there a point to any of this or was it just more "I played baseball in college" stuff?

    I'm with you, and they do play baseball the right way. I dream of a day when we play ball like that. Is this a joke?

    Whatever makes you feel better. SEC baseball is in no way equivalent to AA. Good SEC players may have the ability to one day make it to AA, but to say that it's in any way equivalent is ridiculous. You do realize that most college first rounders start out in the low minors, right? As far as the "I know one very well" portion of the conversation, I think there's something going on that you aren't privy to.

    as is your use of the word "[expletive]" did tim enable search just for you so that you could find the word "[expletive]" and come and scold whoever uses it? Dont be [expletive], search is still broken.

    OH NOES ITLL BE 576.767,188 BY THE END OF THE YEAR~! BENCH HIM BEFORE ITS TOO LATE AAAA Hill just gave up another home run, send him to iowa to get the kinks worked out

    What's wrong with Hill? His ERA has doubled today, is something wrong? (Shoulder/elbow maybe?) Should I have started a new topic for this? I mean, it's doubled to 1.00 today, next time, what? 2.00? Then what? 4.00? 8.00? Where do we draw the line?

    It's the baseball version of the gambler's fallacy. The Cubs have been unlucky in one run games so far, but a reversal of those fortunes aren't going to turn them into a good team.

    why, do you not like winning? He doesnt like cheating. Cheating or not. I just don't like his attitude. im pretty sure we can ignore someone's attittude if the team wins. whats more important, attitude or winning? the world's not disney world. You would really want to cheer for a team full of Bondses? I think you'd change your mind pretty quick about that. I wouldn't have enjoyed the Colts Superbowl win nearly as much if you replaced guys like Dungy and Harrison with Belichick and Terrell Owens. Not every player has to be my favorite person in the world but Bonds would be too much to ask for, I just couldn't cheer for a guy like that. I know, I got really tired of all those Patriot fans complaining about how their championships were tainted by the presence of Belicheck.

    Seriously, and maybe now he realizes that he actually does suck, he'll come out of the pen like a good little boy.

    I think it's a coincidence that he was involved. I don't think that I'm the common denominator here.

    These new google ads are terrrrrrrrrrrrrrible.

    why, do you not like winning? He doesnt like cheating. Cheating or not. I just don't like his attitude. Give me a 25 man roster full of jackasses that are good at baseball. No doubt. But most teams, not even the Cubs, can afford 25 men with the salary of Bonds. I thought you were talking about his attitude? Right I did. You were the one you brought up winning. All I said was I don't like his attitude. This has been an odd exchange. Anything to do with Bonds in HERE is an odd exchange. Your train of thought is simply fascinating.

    Lou wants 12 pitchers-that would still leave him with 11. I do like the idea of bringing up Cherrry now and releasing Miller. Then you bring up a starter next week (likely Guzman) and either demote Pie or trade Jones. Jones is the best hitting OF ATM. He is not my favorite player on the Cubs but the Cubs shouldn't be rushing to get rid of him, without being sure that Pie is going to stick. Pie is hitting half a mendoza right now, he probably wont stick.

    Oh man, I can actually see the e-steam coming out of your virtual ears. What do you say we actually get back on the point? DLee had better hit a home run soon, he's not going to keep hitting at this level unless his power comes back. No steam coming out of my ears; I'm as strong willed as you... Back on point, I'm not worried about DLee's power because he's hitting for average and getting on base at a high rate. without home runs his SLG will have a tough time maintaining. his BABIP is like .460! when his BABIP comes down and he's not hitting for power, he's going to be very bad. he needs to start hitting for power. This is what I was trying to say, I just didnt want to go to THT. He leads the NL and is behind only Mauer and Upton in the entire league. There's no way he keeps it up all season. EDIT For comparison's sake, during 2005, his BABIP was only .349.
