Pie to be recalled?
abuck1220 replied to E.J.'s topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
if kroeger or colvin are in the cubs outfield in 2008, the cubs are in big trouble. -

looks like i have another extra closer to trade. can't believe you guys were asleep at the wheel on capps!
-
Get ready to be shocked. what's it like in this imaginary world you live in where you're the only one who thinks the cubs suck and everyone loooooves hendry?
-
eh, thanks to some late points from teix, i'm down 18 and i already have two starts to tim's none. if i picked up some scrub off waivers, he'd probably get negative points. i'm just going to take my chances with sheets and gaudin.
-
I'm not sure what the rule was on that? I picked Germano up because I had put Kennedy in the line-up and didn't get his 28 pts from his start. it looks like you didn't get kennedy's points b/c he wasn't in your lineup when he pitched on 6/1.

Question on Samardzija
abuck1220 replied to don_kessinger_was_good's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
so because rios worked out, samardzija will too? ok. -
well, they aren't. era is a measure of a guy's pitching ability, not his fielding ability. i don't really understand why everyone gripes about this rule. the reasoning behind it is pretty obvious. you don't subtract points from a fielder's batting average because he makes an error. hill's hot start had me thinking he had a shot at the ASG...but his w/l record is likely to keep him out of it. a couple of his patented 13-14 strikeout games would help his cause. Well, I'm probably in the minority but I feel that when the pitcher commits the error, he "earns" the run. Either way, it's just my opinion. As for the bolded part... patented? He's never done that before in the majors. I'd let him do it at least a few times (heck, even once) before we start calling it patented. geez...how about 10 strikeouts? he's done that a few times...will that work for you?
-
well, [expletive]...smoltz isn't making his start tomorrow. and i left three starters, all of whom scored 18+ points sit on the bench hoping smoltz would be ready. so can i pick someone up off waivers?

i need a rules clarification. HBC picked up germano from free agency today and he's in the lineup for tonight's start. i understand that we can shuffle SP's from the bench into the rotation and vice versa to get the seven starts, but i thought it was determined that we could not pick up free agents during the week to reach seven starts.
-
yea, I turned it off and assumed crooked number as soon as he turned to throw to 2nd. I swear pitchers throwing to second must make errors at least 50 percent of the time. good point. even if the throw would be the runner (which it rarely would), the guy throws it poorly all the time. making up a little ground on tim today, but it didn't help that drew, glaus and martin all sat. drew may be benched for tomorrow depending on the severity of his injury.

I get the feeling Lou doesn't like Ohman
abuck1220 replied to Buford T Justice's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Loogys do not exist. will you please quit saying this? everyone gets it -- you don't think teams should rely on loogy's b/c of roster space and strategy. but you can't deny that there are lhp out there that excel at getting lefties out and get righties out. thus, loogy's exist. you saying loogy's don't exist is like me saying sacrifice bunts in the first inning don't exist b/c i don't like them strategically. -
i wanted to leave hill in too. i was concerned about the 7th, when it looked like he may be gassed from "running" the bases...but he looked fine. hill goes seven freaking innings and walks one guy...ohman walks the very first guy he faces...ridiculous.
-
man, you need to get your eyes checked. another fantastic effort from these losers.
-
you suck, lou. you suck, ohman.
-
no.
-
seriously, hill works his ass off for seven innings and walks ONE guy. ohman comes in and walks the FIRST guy he faces. pathetic.
-
nice work, ohman. should have left hill in.
-
and how many people think it wasn't close? give it up.
-
Not really. He was out by about 10 feet. Wasn't even close. I don't really no what to say other than that you're completely wrong. His arm was extending to the base when he got tagged in the midsection. I had to look at the replay closely to make sure he wasn't actually safe. yeah, it was relatively close. Still. You learn in little league that you're not supposed to make the 3rd out in an inning trying to reach 3rd base. It's the mistakes like those that keep the Cubs from winning close games. the baserunning of pitchers who have just hit doubles is absolutely, 100% NOT the type of mistakes that keep the cubs from winning close games. So just because he's a pitcher he gets a pass when making a baserunning mistake? pretty much, yeah. if you want to see the type of mistakes that keep the cubs from winning close games, check out lee's crap at bat right there.

hell, let him pitch the 8th. for the second straight year, rich hill is the only reason to watch this team.

seriously, rich hill trying to stretch a double into a triple is the least of the cubs' concern. sit down, frenchy.
