    Boston has scored 14 runs today. Think we can borrow some?

    I'm sure Izturis will be a spark plug for a big rally.

    Gameday said it was a wild pitch. If it hits the ground before the catcher, it goes as a wild pitch. I'm guessing it was something that Barrett should have had based on the reactions.

    Let him finish the game to stretch him out for the 5th starters job?
  5. Banedon
    Don't you tell me what to do, new guy! :jocolor:

    Wow was the Izturis deal a horrible move.

    STOP SWINGING AT THE FIRST PITCH!

    Jones sucks this season. Good thing he's batting second.

    Gotta love the trademark mlb.com gameday "freeze".

    Didn't Sampson shut us out last year too?

    Settling down after giving up 3 runs in the first still doens't help us much. We should be able to win when the starting pitching gives up 3.

    From an article about the sale of the Brewers:

Reading between the lines it looks like whether or not Wrigley is included in the purchase would be an important detail for him, as it should be.

    So they should stick to a bad decision because they don't have the guts to admit a mistake sooner rather than later? They shouldn't let one start change the conclusion they drew after having 8 weeks of performance to consider. If Miller was their guy out of ST, he's still got to be their guy one week/one start into the season. Why? Give me a good reason. Is there some sort of honor or toughness associated with sticking to a stupid and poorly reasoned decision? You're the one using terms like "stupid" and "poorly reasoned". If Guzman was a better option than Miller today, then he would've been so a week ago too. But he wasn't -- not in the Cubs' eyes anyway. Obviously the Cubs didn't think Guzman was a better option than Miller a week ago, and little has happened in the interim to cause them to rethink that judgement -- Miller had one bad outing, and Guzman has been hit out of the 'pen. The first major flaw in your reasoning here is to assume Guzman would be good if he was just allowed to start. There's no reason to assume that, and in fact Guzman's been pretty godawful in his prior ML starts. The second is to assume that you know better than the Cubs who would be better. Actually it's your reasoning that's flawed here. You don't have to assume that Guzman would be good. Just as effective or better than Miller.

    And what makes you so sure that Prior or Guzman won't cost us games? There's a difference between someone with no ceiling beyond replacement player costing you games, and someone taking a lump here and there with a ceiling as high as Angel's. Wade Miller isn't good, and likely won't be better in the future. Angel Guzman is at worst level with Miller now, and with a few starts might be a very good starter. Speculation and opinion. I have no problem with either, but they should be identified as such. Here is the definition of earning it: http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/stats/sortable_player_stats.jsp?c_id=chc&section1=1&section2=1&section3=1&statSet1=null&statSet2=null&statSet3=null&statType=2&timeFrame=1&timeSubFrame=23&baseballScope=CH2&prevPage2=1&readBoxes=true&sitSplit=&venueID=&teamPosCode=all&box4=XXXX150063chnX&box5=XXXX425768chnX&compare.x=25&compare.y=10 spring training stats are nonsensical tools to judge players on Also Miller gave up more homers and walked more people than Guzman.

    Gosh USSoccer. I really wish you wouldn't hem and haw over this topic so much...what do you REALLY think about Wade Miller??? :geek:

    Those acquisitions of Eyre and Howry last year are looking like STEALS this year! Oh man...what's the rest of the league gonna do?
  21. Banedon
    Theriot was already in the game, he came in with Wuertz. And welcome! that's what I get for talking to a client during the game. Yippee for time games. oh, thanks for the welcome but I've been around a long time DETAILS I know! I know! Why ya hiding...uh...jersey cub fan? :)

    My problem with this phrase is that my immediate reaction is that you're referring to Jeff Kent rather than Kent Mercker. Say ten hail Dunn's and you will be cured of this problem. Nora Dunn?

    Looks like all the internet play by play just quit after Jacque got out last inning...*sigh*

    Typos are one thing. Continual misuse is another. There are certain grammatical and spelling errors that make people sound unintelligent, and it diminishes the effectiveness of whatever point they are trying to make, especially when it's a consistent misuse, rather than just a typo. Dominate vs Dominant is one of them, IMO.
