    You move a reliever, going with 11 pitchers.

    Is it me, or are the Bulls doing the equivalent of the Cubs swinging at the first pitch?
  3. jersey cubs fan
    Wow, there wasn't a foul there? I thought basketball was called differently. I could play this sport.
  4. jersey cubs fan
    That didn't last long. Skiles looks shell-shocked.

    Your evidence against the idea that he could be injured is that you assume the Cubs would handle it properly if he was? Guys "keep going out there" all the time until they finally figure out what the problem is. And an injury doesn't have to be something that causes great pain.
  6. jersey cubs fan
    Not bad for your limited basketball knowledge, goony. Should have gone for the takedown there.

    Did Detroit really just score their 30th point in the 3rd quarter. That's kind of bad isn't it?

    This road trip should be very horrifying.... fixed No, watch them play STELLAR vs. GOOD opponents. (I'm hoping anyway. ) I'm going to witness at least 2, and possibly 5 of these upcoming games, so they better play well.

    and he's been playing ss too! the cubs really need to launch izzy and add fontenot to the 40 man and bring him up to the majors. Fontenot is sensing a roster spot opening up on the big club.
  10. jersey cubs fan
    Don't know about that. But I think we can put aside any notion that he'll be fast-tracked to the majors. If he develops enough to get a sept call-up in 2008 I'd be shocked.

    Hasn't missed any starts, hasn't complained of any pain, had a strong training regimen and lost weight during the offseason, hasn't had a remarkable decrease in velocity, mentioned his mechanics issues himself during a post-game interview, which were subsequently backed up by Rothschild . . . besides a history of higher-than-ideal pitch counts, what exactly leads one to believe that he might be injured? I'm no doctor, and I can't see into Z's arm, elbow or shoulder, but there's no sign of an injury being the cause of his current pitching problems. I never said it was impossible that he was injured, just that nothing right now leads to that conclusion. He's been pitching side arm half the year. He's complained of back and forearm problems in the past. He's been ridden hard just because he's a big bull and freak of nature. His effectiveness has gradually gotten worse the past couple years, to the point that he was almost an entirely different type of pitcher last season. His control has gotten worse and worse. Pitchers don't do what he has done and just chalk it up to being a little off mechanically.

    I don't know how anybody can see what has happened and insinuate there's no possible way Zambrano could be injured.

    First things first... are you peeing your pants if the Brewers make the playoffs? And second things second, I don't think anybody is assuming they play .500. I'm assuming they play over .500, which would mean the Cubs need to think about a 90 win season if they want a division.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    I'd guess it's a judgement call, in which case you could say it's a FC, with everybody being safe. Although you should just be nice and give her a hit if she's cute.
  15. jersey cubs fan
    I'm telling you, it's a Georgia thing. Corey didn't care, Farnsworth cared about partying it up, now Murton. Better watch out for EPatt. Barrett will stop caring pretty soon as well. He only cares about fighting and Derrek Lee's daughter.

    Actually, he's just trying to make Lou look good. By playing like absolute crap, he feels he's justifying Lou's decision to rarely play him at all. Quite a team first attitude if you ask me, sacrificing his own personal stats to make others look good. But to answer the other question, yes, I do believe I saw him playing in khaki's and a golf shirt quite frequently, and not just on casual fridays.

    It's just a shame they tried to model the organization off the Braves, but by doing so decided that what they needed to do was the try and build a once in a generation type pitching staff, which, by definition, would be next to impossible to pull off. If the Cubs never focused so heavily on building through a surplus of arms (and then subsequently running those arms into the ground, or out the door) while ignoring the lineup, there's a chance the heavy investments made over the past decade and a half would have paid off by now.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Don't make me watching you guys lose in person.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    I'd prefer the prospect route to Tejada. I would too, but not sure how the Cubs can find one.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    You can find that quote with the daily Carrie "literary scribe" at cubs.com. The difference is that the veterans Piniella is referring to are actually pretty good players, whereas Baker would talk about sitting a top prospect in favor of people like Neifi There's really no difference. Lou's an idiot with regard to this. Hopefully he's not as dumb as Dusty with everything else.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    I responded to the post as you wrote it. I never asked to run him off. I'd like him traded if they can get value, but I called from the start of spring to have him in CF. Prior to that I wanted him in a platoon in a corner spot. One way or another, he can't play as frequently as he does.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    halfway decent really? Because last year he ranked 16th out of 84 in OPS among outfielders with 300 or more PA against RHP. Just ahead of Soriano, Vladmir Guerrero, Cuddyer, Dunn, and (believe it or not) Matt Murton. But yeah you're right, it's only "halfway decent." Last year was also the 2nd best number on your list. It's a little foolish to list 6 data points and only focus on one of them to describe the whole thing. Furthermore, since his OPS is SLG weighted, and OBP weak, his actual production isn't as good as the OPS suggests. But that's a different story. I see 2 bad years, 2 good years, and 2 okay years. But then again, it's only his numbers vs RHP. If you have a guy whose making $5m as a platoon player, he should be considerably better than what you are showing against the pitchers he supposedly hits well against.
  23. jersey cubs fan
    halfway decent
  24. jersey cubs fan
    that could be fun
  25. jersey cubs fan
    Practice? What are you talking about practice for? Is this before or after finals week? Seriously, practice? Taking a couple balls off the bat of a coach doesn't come close to the same effect of actually playing the position in games. The fact is the morons running the Cubs have an OF that's completely flip-flopped from the one they spent all spring practicing. Oh, and I see Dammit continues to own the Cubs. That guy is unstoppable.
