    i was so close to benching hill for last night's game...damn. still a good start for me offensively.

    jason kendall is a "winning type of player." remember all those world series he won in pittsburgh?
  3. abuck1220
    starting now? because you did it in the sentence right before you said you weren't going to do it anymore.

    i agree that a scout's opinion is valuable, but that's because a scout's job is to evaluate baseball players...that's what they were trained to do. you were trained in broadcasting, and that's a lot different. Your not arguing that a broadcaster (who watches the team everyday) doesn't have more insight into players than a person who simply looks at stats and reads box scores are you? what is that "insight" exactly? sure, he knows who's nice, who's a jerk, who the coaches like, etc, and, no, i don't have that information. but him seeing ryan theriot everyday when he was in AA doesn't give him anymore insight than i have with regard to his performance with the big league team this year.

    Defference and respect are intersections on a two way street. I fully agree. I personally enjoy being part of a community where Radio announcers, TV announcers, parents and spouses of Cubs players, reporters, and other front office people frequent. The easiest way to ruin that is to continue to post childish posts or attack them for every little thing you have issue with. read his original post, which starts off the "attacking." i appreciate these guys being here too, but they don't get a free pass to talk down to people juat because they eat at the buffett table with adam greenberg.

    Those of us in the game? Dude you're a minor league radio announcer, get over yourself. we agree for the first time ever.

    It's great not to have to worry about them - Howard has 2 HRs and the Phillies have 4 haha we're going to be worrying about them when the brewers are beating the hell out of them next week.

    hey, a good break!
  10. abuck1220
    yeah...you're not very bright.
  11. abuck1220
    his spark quotient is off the charts.
  12. abuck1220
    no way. pie maybe.
  13. abuck1220
    obviously. and if jason kendall starts, i wouldn't expect all-star numbers or anything even close.
  14. abuck1220
    so long as he starts against milwaukee, who cares? but now i don't think he is starting against milwaukee. i think he was supposed to start wednesday, but now he's starting this weekend. milwaukee is going up against three scrubs in the houston series, i believe.

    while it was certainly nice to win 3 of 4, i personally thought the cubs looked terrible this weekend. maybe not the worst they've looked all year, but not much better than that. luckily for them, st louis is one of the worst teams in the league right now.

    are people seriously bitching about bringing in wuertz and now ohman? it's the 3rd/4th inning of the second game of a double header. sorry they can't roll out goose gossage, mariano rivera or billy wagner. geez.
  17. abuck1220
    seriously Lou, whats the point? who do you want in the game? anyone. Piggy?? Wood?? Woof pitched game 1. Everyone else not named Marmol or Howry isn't that good anyway... my point is why is Wuertz here..I understand the whole take on for the team, but jesus find someone in AAA or AA you keep saying that, but you're not throwing out any names. "someone in AAA or AA" isn't cutting it.
  18. abuck1220
    you've established quite the dynasty the past three years. i mean, w/o the championships and all.
  19. abuck1220
    kendall rolling out to the left side of the infield is as predictable as a juan pierre 4-3.
  20. abuck1220
    it's pretty amazing that this game is tied. the cubs have played terribly stupid baseball. marshall out. stupid youngster can't even get four outs an inning.
  21. abuck1220
    thanks kendall. at least you're hitting.
  22. abuck1220
    and stats clearly don't tell you any of that.
  23. abuck1220
    now that's a comparison i never saw coming.
  24. abuck1220
    placed glaus on the DL, as he is supposed to be out for the season. i don't know if he's officially on the DL, so if that's a problem, let me know. also, guthrie's out for the season too, so i could put him on the DL instead if that works better. or i could drop guthrie. in any event, i'm pissed i dropped escobar.

    marquis sucked tonight, by the way.
