deal. if you won't pretend that theriot's success for one month will definitely translate to him being good for the rest of the season.

boy, if the cubs' fifth best starter truly was one of the top 10 starters in the NL, the cubs would be really good.

wow, that's ridiculous. no way i'm voting for zambrano.

well, like i said in my rejection, you're a game ahead of me in the division and i know you need a closer. if you think i'm going to do your team a favor, you're crazy. if i'm going to make a trade w/ you, i have to feel like i'm really, really getting the better end of the deal. think about it from my perspective...why would i help fill a hole for one of my biggest rivals when all i'm getting in return is a guy (beltre) i wouldn't even be able to use? and capps has outscored rivera by a huge margin this season.

the cubs, on the other hand, have a tendency to really start kickin' a right around september and totally not choke.

Thats nice to know, but too bad most of that is from his unbelievable start. yeah, and the worst part about it is those wins don't even count on the cubs' record now. thanks for nothing, rich hill.

and i release gaudin just in time for him to flirt with a no-no against the yankees.

and i'm interested in trading one of my RP, but not to one of my biggest rivals in my division and not for a second rate prospect or adrian beltre's lukewarm corpse. :D

ninth try is a charm.

the walks and the hit batter were the worst of what he did today. the homer to mench was really the only ball that was hit super hard. the foul balls are just a mystery. it doesn't tell me that he had bad stuff, as he wasn't really getting hit hard...he did have a bunch of k's and three of the hits he gave up were infield hits/pop-ups. plus, he was around the zone enough to give up 39 foul balls, so it wasn't like he was extremely wild. he never looked awful (walking people/giving up bombs), but he never really looked comfortable either. just a weird day all around for him.

is it too late to get this guy in the nsbb tourney?

No it's not a joke. i don't know who you are or where you came from, but i would like to play fantasy baseball with you for large amounts of money.

do you really think trading the last man off the bench that gets one ab every three days is going to upset a winning streak? come on.

injured willits to the bench, fontenot to U.

i'm just glad rich hill didn't ruin the cubs' season.

keep me updated.

yeah, with pie struggling and ss being a question mark, the cubs are likely in trouble offensively.

good for his dumps. too bad he hasn't thrown any baseballs with more talent than rich hill yet. Oh yeah I would much rather have Rich Hill than Felix. I really wish Rich Hill was close to the pitcher you think he is. sorry, i thought you valued pitchers on whether they had completed a full year of good pitching. I do, but I also defer to age. When you haven't had a good year at 20, it's because you are young and getting established. When you haven't had one at age 28 it's because you couldn't beat out Glendon Rusch to get a big league spot. yeah, great argument. rusch clearly outpitched hill during that period. man, your arguments are awful.

that's just flat not true. if he had nothing, they'd be hitting the balls all over the field...which they're not doing. take your sweet time, aramis. And if he had something, they would be missing more pitches. You can't tell me the high rate of foul balls has nothing to do with the lack of stuff/command he has today. he doesn't have his best stuff, as evidenced by some shaky control and the home run. i would say lots of foul balls means he has good enough stuff to not get hit hard, but not good enough stuff to finish guys off. he does have five k's in three innings, so his stuff must be semi-decent.

Hahahaha. On a board full of hyperbole, this might honestly be the most far fetched and dumbest thing I've ever seen on here. since hill has been made a consistent starter since last season he hasn't been good?

he is. were you saying this back in april when zambrano sucked? Yes, because one month is just that. Z has what, 70 wins in his career more than Hill? Oh and he is younger to boot. At no point in his career will Rich HIll be a better pitcher than Z. Here in about another month this season won't even be close. guess the second half of last year doesn't count either? Ok, you guys are right. Rich Hill is better than Carlos Zambrano. Lol. So Rich Hill has what kind of numbers for the second half last year plus this year? Compare them with an average Zambrano year. Oh look another walk. hill has been substantially better than zambrano over the last year. and hill's last year has been substantially better than z's career numbers. and z has only had maybe one year that could compete with hill's last year...and in that season, the only thing z has on hill is era (hill beats him in k/9 and whip). so in other words, you're completely, completely wrong. so yeah...i guess that's that. Right, except that Hill hasn't had a whole season at the big league level yet. But, hey that doesn't matter. Oh and he is 28 and having his first big year. And by big year he is a few more starts away from being on par with Z, who is having his worst year ever so far. whatever. your argument got torn to shreds, so you come back w/ something totally unrelated. it's not hill's fault that it's his first full year in the majors. sorry he's been awesome nearly 100% of the time since he's been made a starter. i guess the guy in your sig sucks too b/c he's never been good in the majors.
