eyre can't even throw a two-batter no-hitter.
-
stop spending big $ on setup men, please
abuck1220 replied to abuck1220's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
nice work, eyre. this bullpen obviously just needs one more high-priced, middle-aged middle reliever coming off a career year. -
hey, myers gets me a couple points out of the pen! could end up getting the win if cordero continues to be worthless.
-
Huh? newbie's pounding the greatest fantasy team ever assembled. teixeira and soriano have combined to hit me zero homeruns.
-
upset brewing??
-
that's a great swing when you're up in the count. geez.
-
damn, half my team is taking the night off tonight.
-
you're assuming that hendry has one. yeah, guzman isn't a good comparison. it's like taking zambrano out of the rotation last year to put rusch or scott williamson in the rotation.
-
so what am i supposed to do with myers? is leaving him in my rotation an option? what a really, really stupid move by the phillies. mind-blowing, really.

manuel needs to get fired asap.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 4-18-2007
abuck1220 replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
good pitching all around, including kershaw. -
If Harden isn't officially placed on the major league DL you can't put him on your injured roster. You can keep him on your reserve list and use other starters on your active roster to get 7 starts for the week. The DL positions are restricted to players that are officially placed on the DL by their major league teams. seconded.

jake westbrook may be setting some records overnight.
-
i think some of the posted rules are old, for one thing. i agree that it's always been the case that you can make substitutions for injuries, and that you can put a guy back in when he comes off the DL.
-
good play by murton. i'm no fan of miller, but he was really getting squeezed that inning. can't wait to see maddux's zone this inning.
-
wow, this ump sucks.
-
i wouldn't be surprised if part of the motivation in sending guzman down was to get him a start or two. obviously miller isn't bringing much to the table.
-
that seems right.
-
i'm pretty sure this is ok, but since i'm not 100%, i dumped floyd just to avoid potential problems. i moved derosa to OF and inserted theriot at 2b.

Chiefs Roster Move #1...its gonna draw some attention...
abuck1220 replied to ChiefsVoice's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
there has to be something going on behind the scenes with him. it seems like some of the decisions surrounding him are almost punishments. -
Hey, who has the best run differential in the NL central?
abuck1220 replied to imb's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
lolololololololololololololololol! -
i picked floyd up off waivers for soriano. that's ok, isn't it?
-
leads the majors... Is it possible to calculate an ERA+ for King Felix? Wouldn't you have a divide by zero error in that formula? heh...his didn't show up on the leaderboard because baseball-reference has it listed as "inf," which i'm guessing is infinity.

Now I am curious? What the **** is ****? s h i t

Well, not so much "mental toughness". But alot of his problems are deffinatly mental. Compare him to a guy like Greg Maddux, who does not have near the "stuff" of Carlos. Maddux is a very smart pitcher. I have to assume Zambrano is not. Maddux is very calm and follows his game plan. Zambrano when something, even a minor setback, before the game gets out of hand. He looses it mentally. Not so much "looses it", but he does not do the right things and let's his emmotions ruin his game. He needs to take a step back, slow his game down. Take a few breaths, and concentrate only on the next pitch. This is one of his big downfalls. And it can certainly be considered something like "mental instability" on the mound. losing it mentally = not mentally tough prior is more mentally tough than zambrano has ever been. when the pressure was on, prior dominated down the stretch in '03 and was great in the playoffs. zambrano was atrocious that postseason. but b/c prior is quiet and now injured, he's the guy who is a basketcase. go figure.
