    Just because you say that the 75% is number is accurate doesn't mean that it is. You might as well have said that during 75% of the innings Glendon Rusch throws, he takes a big plate of spaghetti out to the mound. 2004 - 32 appearances, 21 good, 11 bad. Counted into those 21 good appearances were a few outings that went between a third of an inning and less than two innings. Also, I went ahead and counted a 5 inning, three run game as a "good" appearance, since it counts as a QS, even though I think we both agree that there is nothing good about an ERA north of 4. In case you were wondering, that works out to 66% 2005 - 46 appearances, 27 good, 19 bad. In those 27 good outings, there were a total of 10 that lasted less than an inning and two-thirds. Those ten outings lasted a combined 8 1/3rd innings, so a more discerning man could count them as maybe two good outings combined, but I'll give you the (huge) benefit of the doubt and count them as 10. only 59% of those outings were "good". 2006 - 14 outings, 7 good, 7 bad. That works out to a cool 50%. Oh, of the 7 "good" outings, 5 of them didnt go over 2.1 innings. Since signing with the Cubs, Glendon Rusch has had 55 good outings and 37 bad ones. That is 60%, nowhere close to the 75% you tried to pass off as fact. Nice try though.
  2. i am a little ashamed, but i would laugh my ass off if it were true.
  3. whats the financial hit from dfa'ing him?
  4. imb

    going dooooooooooooooooown
  5. Sean Bartman, Steve's brother, in the crowd today.
  6. Does this mean the Bucs have a chance too? woah lets not get crazy
  7. San Diego is 15th in the NL in obp, Oakland is 10th in the AL in obp. We're not talking about only walks, we're talking about obp. Try looking things up before speaking.

    hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Jesus.
  9. what good is obp if you cant catch the ball?
  10. Speaking of that list outshined, what happened to bullington and bush?
  11. The reason Lee's OPS skyrocketed wasn't so much the fact that he 'hit his prime age' as much as he closed a huge hole in his swing. He did it when he hit his "prime age". Do you think that players just magically get better in that 28, 29 area? That's the time when they start figuring things out, hence, closing a hole in his swing.
  12. im not too down on this pick. maybe he really, actually did turn a corner or something this year. im excited to see him start playing.
  13. Do you believe that he will hit like this for the rest of the season? i wouldn't be surprise if he puts up a .850 ops. lee & barrett became better hitters after joining the cubs, so maybe jones too. Didnt Lee and Barrett hit their prime with the Cubs too? I hope Jones puts up an .850 ops, but im not holding my breath. Jones is 31 and has only done that once in his life. yep, but both have had quite an improvement w/ chicago. lee's ops last year was 200 points better than his best w/ florida. barret was .655, .749 & .678 in his last 3 seasons w/ montreal. he's went .826, .824 and .868 w/ the cubs. Those bumps coincide nicely with the 28-29 year range, do they not? Jones? Not so much. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's far from likely. Players usually dont wait until they turn 31 to become useful. Here's to hoping though.
  14. welcome to our hell bitches

  16. uh, im in
  17. so you're telling me there's a chance
  18. i keep getting to 5 or 6 and then i forget to pick. travis hafner going for 7 tonight
  19. If Dusty thinks minor league hitters are the most dangerous, we should call these guys up immediately, god knows what kind of records college and high school hitters would set!
  20. At his age, my guess is napping. I thought he drove trucks for a living? He's not napping, that's dangerous. He's probably drinking.

    Sexson

    probably nothing. it's too easy to find a 1B better than sexson. your best bet is to hope he gets hot before the trading deadline, and then deal him
  22. That was the first thing I noticed. Only 3 more walks in 2005 in almost twice the at bats. Maybe Colvin might become a better PRO, then he was a college player. I think, Colvin could very well be a very good---not a superstar---player for the Cubs inside of 2 1/2 yrs. I think he is going to progress that fast. Really? What about him makes you think that? Just curious where you're getting your inside info on his career.
  23. wasted pick, lets face it, theyre just screwing around today
  24. He's similar to Alexis Rios, a player that has to hit .330 to have an even decent obp, great.
