  1. But that doesn't affect those stats. You can't give up 3 earned runs in the first and pretend to not share in the blame of a loss. Sure, but it wasn't a poor outing. No, it wasn't poor, it was terrible.
  2. He's barely had any starts to show it, let alone back to back starts. Give me a week straight of Murton starting and looking like that, and I'll be concerned.

  4. How? 1.60 WHIP 5.40 ERA That's flat out terrible. yes, but in the first inning, everyone acted like he was going to give up 30 runs by the 3rd. The truth is, he wasn't great, but the Cubs offense and defense were worse. This lineup should not have been shut down by Sampson. Marquis would have had to give up 0 or 1 runs for us to win today Nobody thought he was going to give up 30 runs by the 3rd. Marquis had a terrible outing. Izturis had a terrible game. The offense was terrible. I don't understand why people feel the need to focus on one thing and excuse everything else that happened.
  5. How? 1.60 WHIP 5.40 ERA That's flat out terrible. Woah there sparky, three errors and a horrible day in the field should also be factored into account on those stats. I bet Lou is going to have a field day with this kind of effort... YIKES! Hate to be in the locker room. Those stats have nothing to do with the errors.

  7. Seriously. If Marquis pitches like he did today all year, I bet a lot of us would be more than happy with that. Before we get carried away with the Marquis love, he had a 1.6 WHIP and 5.40 ERA today. If he pitches like that the rest of the year I'll be pissed.
  8. yeah, he's 5 for 23 now as a PH. his approach just wasn't good in that last AB. could've been ahead 2-0 if he would have not swung at those high pitches. His game is about patience and selectivity. But the conventional wisdom of baseball says pinch hitters have to go up hacking. That's not his game, and probably hurts him more than some others.
  9. this is really bad for your metabolism.
  10. It's the same thing we've seen for years.
  11. Let's go Murt, don't get too anxious, but you better hit a homerun right now
  12. Im under the impression we are. no reason not to. there's a lot of time to kill until April 28, and the Cubs might not win until then.
  13. Gameday said it was a wild pitch. It was but it was right infront of Barrett he turned the wrong way and let it skip away. TERRIBLE move--it hit his glove Barrett is the worst defensive catcher in the league. Y'know, even if that were true, and its not, his offense still outweighs it. It is true. Im tired of hearing about "his offense outweighs his mistakes behind the plate." Hell, I rather have Blanco starting behind the plate each game because I know he wont be dropping off-speed pitches, I know he will block pitches in the dirt, and I know he will call a really solid game behind the plate. Barrett is garbage behind the plate. He is better served as a DH in the AL than he is a catcher in the NL. HAHA. The Cubs would be losing 4-0 right now instead of 4-0. So he has a point.
  14. New manager does not equal new management. The organizational decision makers remain, and that losing philosophy carries over. You can't erase all of Hendry's stupidity in one spring.
  15. Come on Guzman. Throw some well placed strikes.
  16. Yes, but we're never going to get a pen of mostly homegrown kids as long as we keep drafting people with "teh awesome stuff" and hoping they develop control. Why? You can teach mechanics, increased control, etc. You can't teach 98 mph fastballs and unhittable breaking balls The Cubs have been working on this theory for a long time, to no avail. They need more guys who throw 93 with control. Quit leading the league in walks allowed.
  17. Had you been drinking? no, that's the worst part. We just took the over/under for Mets wins (90.5) and Cubs wins (84.5), then gave me a .5 game advantage to help out. I used to do some great bets with him and won every year, but haven't done one in a while.
  18. I think people should stop worrying about how upset some fans are getting and just deal with the start of the season in their own way.
  19. The Mets have played .5 game less than the Cubs and already have a 18 run advantage on the Cubs. Why did I make that bet? (6.5 game spread on the Mets/Cubs win totals.)
  20. Sampson with 63 pitches, Marquis with 91. Cubs with a .211 OBP today.
