    Sounds like Jacque should have had 2 walks today already.
  2. CubColtPacer
    St. Louis's catchers just own us..I have no idea why.
  3. CubColtPacer
    It's nice to see the Cubs work Carpenter for 20 pitches that inning even though they are not getting very many good swings off of him.

    I would guess Wood would go on the 60 day DL at this point-I'm pretty sure they still have that option.

    Good for him. He's not a prospect, but neither are the other pitchers we were considering for tomorrow (I'm not counting Ryu because he obviously cannot pitch tomorrow now). So, barring a prospect pitching, I like the idea of giving a guy 1 major league start-he's been up for a cup of coffee one time before, but never a start.

    Space was tight in the paper for today, but Dusty lamented a number of "questionable calls" on Pierre's attempted steals and that catchers have been throwing it "right on the toe" to nab Pierre. It's true that there are several times he has been safe at 2nd in the past month that they have called him out on-but that's part of the risk of stealing. It is almost always a close play at 2nd, and you're going to have a higher number of bad calls there than just about anywhere else. You have to factor that possibility in when deciding if to steal or not.

    If a fan from a smaller market team came up and told me that we might not have won the title if we just didn't have the money to buy everyone in sight, I would agree with them. I'd still happily take that bargain though and take the title :D

    Unfortunately, that is true. Hendry is going out of his way to help protect Baker's "reputation". IMO, Baker's rep needs to be shot, cause in the past 4 yrs, he has done nothing but help bring an organization done, with his neanderthal thinking. That may be satisfying personally though, but it's terrible business. If Hendry publicly goes after Baker, that affects our ability to sign both a new manager and new players. It might not make a huge difference, but still there will be that extra added factor of the person thinking that if I do a subpar job in one stop here that maybe my reputation will be dragged through the mud also. I don't mind if Hendry says every nice thing about Dusty imaginable as long as he doesn't retain him. Besides, if you think he would be a detriment to any team, you want to keep his reputation up so another team will hire him.

    Ok-you're the manager for the 9th..how do you play it? I bring Nevin in for Cedeno if it gets that far, and Theriot in for Howry if it gets that far. If you pinch hit Nevin for Mabry, you end up running out of pinch hitters too quickly, and it also depends on Barrett getting on in front of him.
  11. CubColtPacer
    I don't know for sure why either-he could have replaced him, put Pagan in right and Murton in left after the inning. Also why does he not start Murton and bat him 2nd???? Well, he does start Murton most of the time-the batting 2nd thing, I have no idea.
  12. CubColtPacer
    And I got him..he gives up a single on the first batter of the 8th inning to Mark Derosa
  13. CubColtPacer
    BTW, if anybody is interested-Zito had a no hitter going through 7 innings.
  14. CubColtPacer
    I don't know for sure why either-he could have replaced him, put Pagan in right and Murton in left after the inning.
  15. CubColtPacer
    We did a very good job of this in the first inning also..for some reason we forgot after that.
  16. CubColtPacer
    Are they going to bring Flores in? That walk will likely end up being very good for the Cardinals if that happens..let's hope that Jacque can battle him.
  17. CubColtPacer
    This is the 7th inning out of 7 where the Cardinals have had at least 2 people reach base in the inning.
  18. CubColtPacer
    Well, never mind-didn't know they were going to let Weurtz go another inning.
  19. CubColtPacer
    Ok-who's coming in on the double switch that is inevitably coming? Murton or Theriot? :D
  20. CubColtPacer
    I can't believe we are still in this game: LOB numbers-St. Louis-12 (7 in scoring position) Cubs-4 (4 in scoring position)
  21. CubColtPacer
    Yup..pretty embarrassing. The only comfort one can get is that Suppan seems to be an on or off type of pitcher...he's had 4 or 5 outings like this one this season. Still though-you don't want to be on the other side of one of those few outings where he is dominating.
  22. CubColtPacer
    Mateo keeps playing with fire and getting away with it..7 hits and a walk already, but still only 1 run.
  23. CubColtPacer
    Yup, hopefully getting out of the 1st like that will do the same thing for him that it did for Guz the other night!
  24. CubColtPacer
    Edmonds would be a big batter for Mateo to get out for his confidence..similar to Guzman the other night.
  25. CubColtPacer
    Cubs waste a Bynum double as Jones strikes out looking on a 3-2 count. 0-0 heading to the bottom of the first-Suppan with 20 pitches in the first.
