  1. I don't get why it's so popular to hate Ted Lilly all of a sudden.
  2. Lilly has already thrown a ton of pitches. Bullpen is going to get taxed again.
  3. Prince Fielder is also really good. I dunno if I liked that move.
  4. I hate Ryan Braun, regardless of what he does here.
  5. Ron Santo calling Ted Lilly a bulldog count: #1
  6. I was ready to be pissed off for an out. Pleasant surprise.
  7. Would it have been a triple if he was running hard?
  8. For those of us without TV for this game... hm?
  9. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/blog/index?entryID=3508695&name=mlb_trade_deadline I guess Lou has complete faith in Cotts.
  10. No, it's not. How many times have we thought it would be the final straw for Marquis and he's still around. But cutting Marquis is a huge financial blow. That is not the case for Howry.
  11. Why should Howry not be DFAed? He's in the last year of his contract and is completely ineffective.
  12. Howry should be DFAed. That's not an overraction. There's no reason not to do it at this point.
  13. Even though he popped out on the 2nd pitch, that first call set the tone for the entire AB. And now Howry coming into a tie game........ "ballgame". :cry: You quote yourself A LOT. Nothing wrong with that. Just an observation.
  14. Meph's take would be awesome right about now.
  15. This definitely puts each time over the top in their respective league.
  16. But what can that be attributed to? It's just really tough to imagine that he truly has changed the way he pitches and found success.
  17. His K count for the last few years has been plummeting. 2006 210 2007 177 2008 138 (pace) However, he's also on pace to walk 70, which would be his best total over a full season. And his home run rates have sunk down, as he is on pace for 14 this year (compared to 21, 20, and 23 the last three years). He has also been worse at preventing contact than previous years, as this is the first year he has not appeared near the top of the hits allowed/9 IP leaderboard. So, what is to be made of Z? Is he on the decline or somehow redefining himself as a pitcher?
