  1. Go D-Backs! Go Nationals! Go Reds! Yes.
  2. What a tough division! Is it me or is this game an hour late for a getaway game?
  3. No, Jim Hendry did... 8-[
  4. that was Grady Little not Dusty I thought it was Hendry. Hendry was quoting Little. Only Hendry would be mindless enough to quote the one and only Grady Little.
  5. It's not that I don't like it, it's wrong. If you're going to approach it from a pitcher's mindset, yes, their job is to 'win', which means that they allow fewer runs than their opponent. However, a pitcher can have a really great start and not get a win. Conversely, a pitcher can have a really crappy start and get a win. It all boils down to run support on a particular day/night. Zambrano would have a lot more 'wins' if he were allowing less runs, as represented in his ERA.
  6. I'm going to go with a loss here. These are the Cubs, afterall.
  7. 2 days early. :wink: Yes, this team is still in the thick of it, surprisingly. We'll see how things look at the ASB.
  8. I think he's paid to give his team a chance to win ballgames, and allowing as few runs as possible is inherent in this effort. Zambrano hasn't been doing this well.
  9. I can't find any quotes yet, but in the locker room postgame interview, Zambrano dressed down the reporters somewhat for calling him injured, saying that he feels good. He then went on to say that (paraphrasing) he wasn't paid to get a low ERA, but to 'win games'. Dear Carlos Zambrano, Winning baseball games largely relies on starting pitching preventing the opposing team from scoring runs. You haven't done this so well, and this is why you only have 5 wins. Sincerely, Sean Discuss.
  10. whoa, didn't realize the game had started :oops: How has Z looked?
  11. I have no idea what this is trying to prove. I think it's pretty convincing that the Cubs have been horribly run, and there is absolutely no statistic out there that can even help shade the argument that the field is the issue.
  12. I think it's just about time to take what we can get for Jacque. It's going to be a bumpy ride, but it needs to happen.
  13. that is just laughable logic. i don't even know how to respond. :D
  14. sweet. too bad we lost 2/3 very winnable games. chumps.
  15. Love the quote by Brenly: "That ball must have been ticking 'cause no one wanted to touch it!"
  16. For Pete's sake, who is that in your avatar Prime Time? Elisha Cuthbert..She was in " Old School" and " Girl Next Door" ...She is one mighty fine Canadian to poop on If that's your thing...
  17. For Pete's sake, who is that in your avatar Prime Time? My main squeeze.
  18. http://i.a.cnn.net/si/images/baseball/mlb/players/6219.jpg http://i.a.cnn.net/si/images/baseball/mlb/players/5702.jpg Nice, but that's not a Gremlin. That's Jabba the Hut's squirrely sidekick.
  19. I will say this yet again. With the wind the way it is in the summer time it may cause an effect like the altitude in Colorado. By building the team one way, we may be causing ourselves problems another. I am saying it could be the ballpark which has been around since 1914. We have never won in it. So can you say looking into your crystal ball that is absolutely 100% not the ballpark, and the wind, and the elements in April or October? I cant say with even 75% certaintity that it is. And i dont really have to tell you about the lines around the foul area..say LCS game 6? Both teams play in the Field. Therefore, any advantages or disadvantages are shared by both the Cubs and their opponents. In regards to the historical record of futility in Wrigley, you're confusing result with causality. The Cubs don't suck because of Wrigley Field. Wrigley Field sucks because it is the Cubs who play in it.
  20. maybe it's just me, but I think Terrmel Sledge sort of looks like this guy: http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m259/jeffman52001/crumb2.jpg
