    Let's get to the playoffs first. the cubs are 10 games better than any team in this division, especially with gallardo done and mil's bullpen in shambles. if they somehow manage to not win the division it will be because lee, ramirez and fukudome all got polio. their rotation is good enough to win the central, but i wouldn't feel good about it in the playoffs.

    good luck with a playoff rotation of z, lilly, dempster and lieber, cubs!

    liriano, hill and ubaldo have combined to give me 48 points on the season. i would have expected one or two of them to perform below expectations, but this is ridiculous. not only are hill's struggles killing my fantasy team (x2), they're killing the cubs in a major way. good luck in the playoffs with a rotation of z, dempster and lieber. yikes.

    no, he hasn't. i don't think there's any doubt that he's out of the rotation...90% sure of that. and i'd say there's a very good chance he goes to AAA. he should have been left in for at least one more batter tonight. that's four starts in a row that lou has had a remarkably short leash on hill. it's as if it's 2005 and hill has never had success before. One more batter and the game might have been over in the first inning. the worst that would have happened is another walk and one more run. as it is, they lost anyway, ruined the bullpen in the process, and likely completely demoralized hill. leaving him for at least one more batter would have been the right thing to do.

    yeah, the cubs are definitely in a do-or-die situation this weekend.
  7. abuck1220
    no sympathy here. rollins and soriano were my two most expensive keepers, and they've missed a ton of games.
  8. abuck1220
    i really wish that theriot was as good a baserunner as you think he is.

    hey, guy who hates wood, who is pitching the 7th and 8th yesterday if marmol is closing?
  10. abuck1220
    ravech is awful.
  11. abuck1220
    nobody's saying wood didn't suck yesterday. but the two other saves he's blown have been one run leads that he blew by making one bad pitch (as opposed to walking four guys or giving up a bunch of hit/hrs). it happens. secondly, marmol can't pitch three innings every day. even the most serious wood-hater has to admit he's the cubs second best reliever. someone has to pitch those innings whether it's the 7th, 8th or 9th, and wood's going to have to pitch some of them, like it or not.
  12. abuck1220
    he's also first in the NL in outs made at third.
  13. abuck1220
    Results-oriented thinking is tempting, but the move was right or wrong regardless of Marquis' performance tonight. i was thinking it was wrong before the results were in. and i was right.
  14. abuck1220
    we're gonna need to update the brewers vs. righties and marquis vs. brewers numbers.
  15. abuck1220
    You aren't really going to use this year's numbers to tell if a player's good or not, are you? I thought you were better than that. you did?
  16. abuck1220
    Or when Pie puts up better numbers than Johnson over a full season? WE'D HAVE GREENE. Dear Lord, it's not like they'd be trading away Pie for nothing. We'd also have Reed Johnson as a full time CF. I'm not sure Pie + Cedeno is going to wind up as worse than Johnson + Greene. That's without even figuring trading away 2 players with another 9(?) years of team control to go with players with 2(?) years of team control. Greene going to hit AT LEAST 15-20 homers with 70 RBI's. Can Pie and\or Cedeno match those numbers? Yes. you spelled "hell no" wrong. and greene would hit more than 15 homers in the central.
  17. abuck1220
    i don't think you can do this unless one of your scheduled starters misses a start due to injury.
  18. abuck1220
    geez, two starts for hamels and they're against the padres and the giants. don't suppose raw is going to screw that up so that hamels' second start doesn't count, eh? padres, by the way, have a .225 team batting average and a .297 OBP. that's amazing.
  19. abuck1220
    i think some new guys are going to get a chance this week for the hand sanitizers. galarraga and lannon last week = 101 points liriano and ubaldo last week = -44.5 points so yeah, new guys getting a shot this week.* *unless they're traded. :D
  20. abuck1220
    It is your job to watch out for these things as neither Brian nor I has time to check every matchup. oh, i wasn't saying it was your job. asking you guys to do that would be asking a lot considering your salary. the manager of the team who did it should be responsible for counting his own starts.
  21. abuck1220
    not that it matters for our matchup (or that it's my job to watch out for these things), but the points for either peavy or felix need to be taken away from my opponent, as he had eight starts this week.
  22. abuck1220
    nothing like losing to someone who pays so little attention to their team that he allows himself to get shorted a felix/peavy start by going over the seven start limit.
  23. abuck1220
    I understand how desperate you seem to be to get last word in, so you may want to direct this comment at whomever made the lineout comment. i wasn't trying to direct it at you, i just didn't want to make another post. man, you're sensitive.
  24. abuck1220
    Thanks for the advice. It truly means a lot to me. I'm touched by your concern for my epidermis. your condescension hurts my feelings. and yeah, that "lineout" was not hit very hard.
  25. abuck1220
    good luck getting in touch with those that don't post on nsbb.
