is howry pitching to both teams right now?
-
anything that upsets guillen makes me happy.
-
wuertz on a 3-pitch pitch count? shockingly, howry's straight as a line 92 mph fb gets hit hard. i'm stunned.

Agree, it annoys me to no end. However, I can't help but get extremely excited when the cubs beat the Sox. I think it has a lot to do with putting up with the sox fans at my school. that's why it's annoying. it brings out all the lame fans. plus, i can see the cubs winning the series and making all those fans think all is right with the cubs.

this is a stupid rivalry.

Lou's shake-up: Guzman and his 3.18 ERA to pen
abuck1220 replied to windycityfan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
people supporting this move don't seem to have a basic understanding of math. as in, you'd rather have more well-pitched innings than fewer well-pitched innings. and this move is even more ridiculous if miller takes his spot. the good news is, guzman would probably still get 5-6 innings a week in that case since he'd probably be the guy to relieve miller in the third inning of all his starts. -
7 ip, 11 tba, 3 er, 6 k's, 2 bb's, win gets only 15.5 points...that kinda sucks. would have been a lot more last year. i'm interested to see what the pitching points look like at the end of the season.
-
if you make a mid-week trade, you can substitute your new guy into the lineup. at least that's my understanding.
-
That's possible. I know I picked him up in the draft or as a free agent (I forget which) before this season started, and I can't imagine him not having been owned by somebody at some time considering his top prospect status. i thought i may have traded him to you... i think i traded kemp at some point...maybe in the soriano deal. my filthy hands have been on just about everyone.

i think i may have had owings at some point...

Mike North, Ozzie Gullien, AJ & BB
abuck1220 replied to 98navigator's topic in General Baseball Talk
wow, ozzie got it handed to him right there...by an idiot, nonetheless. -
depends on what the job is. if the job is being a 5th OF/25th man, fine. otherwise, no.
-
i agree that yesterday was almost entirely on dempster. eyre still sucks though.
-
hey, you know what, scotty, since you got wright out two nights ago, i guess i'm not mad at you for giving up the hit yesterday. getting him out two days ago is good enough for me. I don't understand getting pissed at pitchers for giving up hits. All the pitcher can do is throw the ball. A ball in play that isn't a rocket/homer is going to fall in or be an out pretty much at random. i'm just annoyed by his excuses.

Jim Hendry should be Fired - NOW!
abuck1220 replied to The Voice of Reason's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
the fact that you have watched cub baseball makes it even more mind-boggling that you're in support of throwing money at one year wonders. -
i don't think anyone's defending him outside of today.
-
i may have too many exempt players... s drew fielder martin hill papelbon liriano and potentially laroche i may have to move some of those guys, or i'm going to be 1000 points under the limit...
-
papelbon is such a [expletive].

abuck1220 replied to The Voice of Reason's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I did. You don't give a large three-year contract to a guy coming off a year that's clearly out of line with his past: WHIP 2000: 2.16 2001: 1.40 2002: 1.55 2003: 1.51 2004: 1.33 2005: 1.08 __________ 2006: 1.48 2007: 2.17 Now really, what in those six years above the line, aside from 2005, says "give this guy a big three-year contract." I don't see anything. Our bullpen in the years prior to his signing was horrible. ...because the cubs gave a bunch of money to other middle relievers coming off good seasons. man, have you even watched the last four seasons of cubs baseball? every middle reliever the cubs have given big money to have been tremendous disasters...i guess hendry isn't the only one who doesn't learn. -
and people think the bullpen is ok.
-
i don't care what anyone says, this pen is awful. don't tell me that losses are a bad way to judge a pen or that their era isn't that bad. it's a poorly constructed, redundant, expenisve, terrible bullpen. there's not one guy out there that i would miss.
-
his curve was pretty good tonight...he couldn't do anything with that slider-type version of it, however. a fair number of the hits were bloops, but the walks (especially to shitty hitters) are a problem. and yeah, he's going to give up homers. after a couple rough outings (against good offenses) i'm hoping for a 13 k type performance soon. the cubs are just, at best, a second tier team...no way around it.

abuck1220 replied to Andy's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
the mets are just considerably better than the cubs.
