    and he'll be making more money this year if he's cut than most of us would make in a lifetime. he's starting the year off on the DL, so no yo-yoing will occur with young pitchers. just admit your emotions are what is causing you to want him to be cut.

    give him a chance!

    i saw dope take bp while i was there...he looks like he's really slimmed down.

    rothschild needs to drop the 'tude. i will strike him if he ever talks to len like that again.

    wow, you predicted that wood would be hurt? you're obviously very smart. No, I predicted a whole mess of you would get excited about his first start, declare him a god (again) and then see his human frality and come up with another thread about it. and almost none of that happened. good job.

    wow, you predicted that wood would be hurt? you're obviously very smart. Do you feel better now? a little. it's a message board. nobody's posts accomplish anything.

    i never saw him do anything besides stand behind the batting cage during my time at fitch. on my last day there, flieta walked past him and harvey told him he was "getting close." anybody know what's up?

    Couldn't disagree more. What'd be the point? To get rid of an undependable (or is it non?) and injury-proned pitcher who is trying to change positions on the staff. If he weren't a Cub but some FA off the street, would you want to sign him? probably not. but he's already signed, so your question is pointless.

    how is dumping him now and still paying him his (modest) salary cutting our losses?

    i was sitting behind a scout in the stands today, and he was running a gun during the first inning. gallagher was 90-92, and he had one 95.

    speak for yourself.

    man, podsednik is worthless.

    toby hall had a chance to start somewhere?
  15. abuck1220
    at least he hustled after it. :roll: was that another two strike mistake by gooz?
  16. abuck1220
    any idea which game he'll be throwing in? i'll be there that day, and i'd like to see him pitch.
  17. abuck1220
    agreed. i put eight grand on this game.
  18. abuck1220
    shouldn't this be in the IR thread? Not sure I follow (rookie) harden's a [expletive].

    i understand that it's his opinion, but that doesn't mean he's not terrible at what he does.
  20. abuck1220
    it has never been that hot when i've been at ST. in fact, i've always wished it was a little warmer...probably won't be the case this year. i'll be there in four days!
  21. abuck1220
    that's a really idiotic thing to say.

    At the risk of over stepping my bounds here, I'd guess a real big difference might be in their paychecks as well. Because unfortunately, the most financially successful sports writers are the ones making the most asinine statements in an effort to garner the most attention, and thus, income. I'd imagine it's really tempting to go down the Marriotti route whenever possible. agreed. mariotti is an attention whore, and he wants to be known nationally (which is why he appears on "who can yell the loudest" every day on espn), and no one outside of nsbb cares about who bats second. plus, mariotti's so busy trying to get famous, it's not like he's in the trenches in mesa trying to get interesting stuff...he just writes about what he thinks someone in LA or NY would care about with regard to the cubs.
  23. abuck1220
    mariotti's writing headline-grabbing trade prior articles and dropping bartman references while bruce is writing articles that are actually about interesting, important stuff. big difference between those two.
  24. abuck1220
    his value is at an all-time high...
  25. abuck1220
    you're right...complete silence until opening day. shut the boards down.
