    that's what I'm trying to figure out here. if 20 hypothetical players are worse, I would expect around 20 hypothetical players to be better and the other 160 hypothetical players to be pretty damn close to where they always are If 20 are worse, why even assume 20 are better? That makes absolutely no sense.

    I think for some reason Lou didn't want Marshall to face Burrell. He wasn't even up in the pen until after the Ruiz hit, and the Hamels/Rollins ABs were so quick, he wouldn't have been ready to go until the Utley AB. At that point, it would appear Lou decided he'd stick with Demp through Burrell, and then go to Marshall if the inning was still going after that. I was thinking you walk Burrell there if that was the issue. I really just didn't like seeing the already pushed beyond expected levels Dempster pushed in that game. I also don't like seeing Phillies batters at the plate against Cubs pitchers.

    Other roster moves for Boise: ETA: See Derek Ingram's post below for the report on Cashner in Daytona. Brett Wallace just jumped up out of his chair and said "Hey, wait just a darn minute, I thought I was the 13th overall pick!" He jumped up, but not out of his chair, his fat ass remained stuck.

    I've been pleasantly surprised by how he's taken to the job.

    It's about his daughter who had a heart transplant July 31 (according to trib article). I had read that there was some personal stuff going on, but never heard any specifics until this morning. I hope it's about her recovery process...

    I still like the idea of a "Other Chicago Sports" sub-forum here that could contain Bulls/Bears/Blackhawks discussion You may have awful taste in weather, but that's basically what I'd like to see, as well. I like having it here. I don't care about other NFL fans rubbing it in. The only people with legit claims over the Bears now are Patriots, Colts and Giants fans, and the only one of them represented is a Colts fan and he's a good guy.

    I didn't like the way Dempster was looking from the start, and didn't like that Lou seemed to stick with him well beyond what would have been acceptable. Every pitch he throws at this point is virgin territory, I really wish they'd be a little more careful with him, and was hoping they'd take him out as soon as the 6th got hairy. Let Marshall face those lefties there.

    this is, of course, ridiculous and really, really terrible logic. i believe in choking, as it's obvious someone can crumble under pressure. but the idea that someone can magically enhance their ability in certain situations is enough to make me not believe in "clutch." if ramirez had the ability to turn it on in certain spots or enhance his focus in certain situations, he would do it all the time and make millions and millions of more dollars. unless it's like video game power that can only be used for so long...like the wings in super mario 3. He knows the Cubs couldn't afford to keep him if he was putting up a 1000 OPS every year, so he dogs it a little when it doesn't matter so he can stay on his favorite team.

    It has nothing to do with "being good enough". They aren't good enough to make BCS game, they are Notre Dame enough.

    Who's a big market columnist that doesn't suck? I like Peter Gammons. 4 or 5 years ago that would've been akin to saying "I like Joe Morgan." The mass Peter Gammons hate has really died down in general over the past few years. Is it because he had a stroke or something? Nancies I never got the Gammons hate. It was based on the fact that he was Boston-centric and was wrong when predicting some trades. But he was one of the first big-time columnists to actually talk about prospects as something more than the old every prospect is a suspect manner. He also acknowledged some of the newer stats before most anybody else heard of them.

    Not a bad 3rd back, but he won't score much.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    Maybe. He definitely got the most love from the higher ups, and he had the one big game last week. But who knows if that was a fluke or not. I would not draft a Bears offensive player.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp08/news/story?id=3557269 Saturday is probably out for the opener and may miss much more time. With Manning's status a little unclear, the Bears might stand a small chance of actually making a game of it next Sunday. The Colts are currently a 9 point favorite, only NE and SD are bigger favorites in their games. If the Bears get blown out in that game, they are going to be double digit dogs on many occasions this year. If they somehow pull out a win, they will go into the next week as favorites.

    Herby might be my favorite television sports personality.

    So many people just assumed that what they needed was consistently playing the same 5 guys every game, as if that is the key to good line play, as opposed to actually having good lineman.

    It's only become normal relatively recently for the Cubs. It's good to see a healthy franchise, even if it actually hurts the Cubs chances. I still don't see how a Milwaukee fan can justify hating Cubs fans, their willingness to prop up the attendance up there the past ten years practically kept that franchise afloat. Hmm...15,000 extra fans for 6-8 games a year = around 100,000 in attendance. I know it was hyperbole, but I don't think the Cubs fans really made THAT much of a difference. In 2004 they averaged 23,107 for 71 non-Cubs games, and 42,176 for 10 Cubs games. That's an extra 190,000 fans in one year alone, nearly 10% of their entire season's attendence. That's a very large percentage of revenue coming from a group you hate.

    When I saw it I never got to the end so I wasn't sure if he ever actually provided reasoning. I know it's just a "stir the pot" column, but I can't help but check it out. That's part of the reason I didn't post it here.

    I was hesitating to post this article because it's just so GD stupid.

    Gooz gets Howry's spot first. Am I the only one who doesn't trust Guzman to be an effective reliever? Do you trust him less than Howry? I don't think anybody is investing anything into Guzman beyond hoping that he does prove to be an effective reliever over the next few weeks, because that would be a nice way to round out our bullpen and replace Howry. I don't think people necessarily believe he will, but I, for one, believe he can and hope he will... Yeah, I don't trust that we have Marmol II waiting in the wings, but I trust him to be more effective than Howry, and that's all that matters.

    I got a 3 year subscription to the magazine on ebay for $4, so I get that inside scoop on the site for free. both are pretty worthless Just curious...have there been any Cubs features in any of the issues this year? I always like that kind of stuff, no matter how worthless the content usually is. I honestly never open it. it either goes straight to the trash or my nephew takes it. For some reason I open it, leaf through it in 5 seconds and just put it aside. I don't even think they have any features on anybody, other than BMX guys.

    Based on the caught stealing or other Theriot-like stupidity? It's pretty disappointing that after multiple years of working on it, he doesn't seem to have translated that speed to baserunning ability.
  24. jersey cubs fan
    It never made sense. That draft was so weird. They were so proud of their SB run and so cocky that it seemed they were just drafting for depth and completely ignoring the need to constantly build for the future.

    I can't believe we re-signed Booker.. I didn't have a problem with it, back when I was hoping they'd do more to shore up the line and give the offense a fighting chance in 2008. Booker is a good enough possession receiver to warrent some playing time. But with the roster as it currently stands, I would be pissed if he made the team over a younger guy with more upside.
