    just wanted to say that derosa's ab was pathetic.

    good thing zambrano's pitching because any fly ball to the outfield is probably going to be double.

    WEEK 20

    abuck1220 replied to cbbryan's topic in Fantasy Sports

    i need to win to have any hope at winning the division. if i win i'll be 2-0 against you, so i'd have the tiebreaker. of course, i'm up against a two start week from johan.

    no you don't. Correction: You want a closer that has stuff that is totally dominating. If you look at the best closers in history, most of them had at least one pitch (95+ mph fastball, splitter, etc.) that was nearly unhittable. well, you want a guy at every position that hits .300/.450/.600, but that doesn't mean you're gonna get it. plenty of teams have had success w/ less than dominating closers.
  7. abuck1220
    can we send a certain 2nd baseman with him? .208/.303/.260(!) since the break. ouch.
  8. abuck1220
    no you don't.

    jenkins didn't homer for the brewers.
  10. abuck1220
    damn, that had triple written all over it. i thought for sure fontenot was going to hold up.
  11. abuck1220
    wow, how many times out of ten would that work?

    i don't even get what you're saying, and i really don't care. i said they weren't real good. he said they were because of a good 35 game stretch. i pointed to the other 80 games they've played as evidence that they're not...i'd say 115 games is a better sample size than 35.
  13. abuck1220
    Not really surprising. No matter what anyone says, we're not a real good team. Take 2 top run producers out of any lineup and most teams won't be real good. they weren't real good with those guys. yeah, 18 games over .500 in a 35 game span (or something similar to that) isn't good. just overlooking the other 80 games are we? give me a break. Just ignoring the fact that the vast majority of good teams lose as many as 70 games in a season? what? let me know when the cubs go 92-70.

Take 2 top run producers out of any lineup and most teams won't be real good. they weren't real good with those guys. Well 2-5 including a predicted loss today since Soriano went down (Ramirez played in one of those games). 58-51 with those guys i guess you and i have different definitions of "good." seven games over .500 doesn't do much for me...sorry.

    that's one of those calls that umps make to make them look smart.

    i wouldn't give catcher's gear for podsednik, let alone an actual catcher.

    What exactly does a #3 pitch like? I think those arguing Marquis is not a #3 pitcher have some unrealistic expectations of what a #3 pitcher is. If you compare Marquis to the NL Central (the division in which the Cubs compete), He is actually pitching good enough to be a #2. To go down the list: Marquis 4.18 ERA with a 1.33 WHIP $4.75MM in 2007 Reds -- Arroyo 5-12 4.51 ERA 1.43 WHIP $4.5MM this year 2yr/$25MM extension :shock: Compared to Arroyo, Marquis is the bargain of the century. Astros -- Jennings 2 - 7 6.15 ERA 1.53 WHIP $5.5MM Again Marquis is a relative Bargain. Cardinals (Take your pick) Wells 5.27 ERA 1.56 WHIP $4MM Looper 5.25 ERA 1.41 WHIP $4.5MM Wainwright 4.21 1.47 WHIP $400K Pirates Armas (to start the year?) 6.31 ERA 1.62 WHIP Brewers Suppan 4.84 ERA 1.52 WHIP $6.2MM Capuano 4.96 ERA 1.49 WHIP $3.2MM Although I hate to admit I may have been wrong about the Marquis signing, it looks like Hendry got himself quite the bargain for this year atleast. Stop trying to prove your argument with those things called "stats". 8-) yeah, he sure showed me. the cubs are better than some of the worst pitching staffs in the league. awesome.
  20. abuck1220
    wow, let's hope hendry is smart enough not to trade his #1 pitching prospect for a guy that would be like the cubs' seventh best outfielder after soriano comes back.
  21. abuck1220
    he's clearly a better cf than barrett is a catcher.
  22. abuck1220
    how can you trade someone that doesn't exist?
  23. abuck1220
    were people giving zambrano credit for being a decent #5 when he was the cubs' fifth best starter early on?
  24. abuck1220
    i don't what all the confusion is about. he started out as a #3, he's paid like a #3. he's a #3. you can't pitch so bad that you're no longer considered a #3, then get credit for being a decent #5 when you're only a #5 because you sucked as a #3. that's like me being a B student then starting to get D's, but wanting credit for getting D+'s instead of D-'s. or something.
  25. abuck1220
    that's a pretty pathetic gang.
