    Yahoo says Pagan is in LF? Is that right?
  2. Banedon
    He takes a one inning break each game around this time.
  3. Banedon
    I love being wrong.
  4. Banedon
    Not much going on against Looper.
  5. Banedon
    Unless it was Rusch that is... Yeah I was gonna be a bit nicer than that... :P

    Did Maddux look hurt? Cuz I don't think another guy on the DL would be the answer to our pitching woes...
  7. Banedon
    Details plz? :) He ranged well out into leftfield to cradle a pop up. Thanks.
  8. Banedon
    Details plz? :)

    How many pitches has Suppan thrown?
  10. Banedon
    ??
  11. Banedon
    I see...so both teams have forsaken the #2 spot... :P
  12. Banedon
    He does sometimes. NSBB is cool like that. :)
  13. Banedon
    They will be painting the bleachers green after the weather turns warmer.

    It's not even him being on the Cubs I dislike...it's him being on the Cubs while Dusty in the manager and misusing him. Neifi could have his uses when used correctly.
  15. Banedon
    Hopefully not. I thought there was a public smoking ban in effect now...no?
  16. Banedon
    Maybe they were just soft.

    For some reason I wasn't really rooting for Rollins. He seems like a nice enough guy, but I just couldn't get behind it. *shrug*
  18. Banedon
    LOL. I would be okay with either, also. And I agree that it's too early in the season to make any assumptions. You guys are too easy to please. Anything short of 17 runs/game is substandard and I won't have it!

    I'm stretching here, but Pettite maybe? Though not based on his first start.
  20. Banedon
    I don't think he will. It's gonna take him a while, if ever, to get back to the guy who posted ERAs in the low 3's in Houston. I think the best we can hope for out of him is Maddux like numbers, which is still better than Rusch and Williams at this point. I expect Z to be a legit #1 again. Wood and Prior will put up numbers like a high #2 starter if they are healthy. Miller and Maddux will put up numbers like good #4 starters. It's still a rotation I'd be excited to see out there on the field, and would feel good about this team's chances then.

    I'm sure this has to do with the division they're in, but ESPN says the Bears have the easiest schedule: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2399476

    Well I haven't even tried yet! :P I'm at work at while I'm willing to have this site open, scouring the web for pitching injuries isn't exactly how I should probably be spending my time. But what would that really prove anyway? Is it possible that it's just plain old bad luck? What about a mechanical problem? Until you eliminate every other possiblity, nothing is proven. It's opinion.
  23. Banedon
    To be honest, I don't blame him. If someone comes and flames "NSBB is garbage" on this board, we'd ban them too.

    I linked the 5 injuries above that don't include the Giles collision or the ball to the elbow, which were both freak injuries he had no control over. I know, I saw them (but you didn't have them labeled). I was kind of asking that to hint why he is leaving out certain "strains" or "injuries" to make his arguement look better. Or if he just forgot that Prior started last year on the DL too. Yeah, I don't know. It's not a question of anybody not wanting Prior to do well. We all want that. But when you imply he isn't normal and is soft or weak bodied, no matter what evidence you provide, it's like trying to argue with someone who thinks the world is flat. You're arguing something that can't be proven or disproven, so I'm not sure what you're expecting. "Mark Prior is soft" isn't a fact that has a hard and fast "true/false" answer. It's an opinion. The world is not flat, and that was something that could be proven.

Or if he just forgot that Prior started last year on the DL too. Mine was from memory. I had forgotten both the hamstring from his rookie season and the injury from the start of last season. There was no intent to leave out info. The hamstring is one that I'm inclined to not include though, because he was a prized rookie that had some pain toward the end of a lost season. No reason to keep him out there and risk something further. Some of these you have to pin on the Cubs rather than Mark. Mark may have been willing to pitch through some things that the Cubs didn't want him to, and we have no way to know which ones are which.
