  1. Kerry needs to build up arm strength. He wouldn't be able to properly rehab while coming in for relief. And they really have no need for him in the bullpen.
  2. Sounds like he's not doing any worse, just not better. No reason to bring him off the DL this weekend.
  3. The online feed isn't working tonight.
  4. I don't think it was pressure to get a leadoff hitter. He had wanted that kind of fast, slappy leadoff hitter for a while. Of course, what he needed was someone could get on base, but he felt that speed trumped that.
  5. Sweden was putting on an impressive amount of pressure the past few minutes.
  6. Wow. Sweden is this close from being up 3-1.
  7. Has he given the rotation order yet? He started to at the beginning but I've had it on mute for part of the game and haven't heard anything else.
  8. Lansford with a 2-run single to left and it's 5-3.
  9. "That was one of the best all-time belches I've ever heard." Back-to-back HRs down the right field line off of Martinez on consecutive pitches.
  10. Pawelek's line: 3 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, HBP, WP
  11. First K on the breaking ball, I believe.
  12. They usually give someone the uniform for entertainment purposes.
  13. Pawelek strands a pair, but not before that 2-run single through the left side. This is quite a useful site for minor league box scores and statistics for the Cubs: http://firstinning.com/daily/chc
  14. K #1 on a fastball off the outside corner.
  15. Pawelek hasn't been able to put anyone away so far.
  16. That breaking ball didn't do a whole lot, but it's a nice change in speed. 3-2 HBP.
  17. Hahahaha. Should've caught it, Joseph.
  18. Yeah, he really gets his arm behind him on the windup. 3 pitches, 1-3 putout.
  19. Here's the direct link in case you want to open it up in a media player that will allow you to keep the video on top: http://webcast1.fiberpipe.tv/hawksvision.asx
  20. That's awesome. I'll post suggestions later, but it looks like that backs up my impressions on the number of Ks looking he's had as of late. Edit: I'd like to request Eric Patterson. And I agree with Vance about the interpretation.
  21. Just turned it on, but is there a reason Jones is taking his sweet time getting back in the box in the 5th inning with a 3-run lead and questionable weatheR?
  22. Welcome to the board. Which direction will you be coming from?
  23. Winning means more ticket sales, more merchandise sales, etc. They have very little reason to field a losing team when they're spending as much money as they are. If they had a good team with this budget, their expenses would remain the same but their revenue would increase a significant amount. The Tribune Co., Andy MacPhail, Jim Hendry, and Dusty Baker all want to win. Money, job security, and pride are all on the line for them. While they're all making money now, it will not last at this pace. And despite their current job security, it cannot last and this kind of failure will be detrimental to all of them in the long run.
  24. Haha. It took me a good 10 seconds to comprehend that image.
