I don't feel right scoring 235 and winning. But I guess I'll take it. i'm not too psyched despite scoring 325 since i don't think i can count on my pitching to go 6-1 with five QS and seven saves again. i mean, as much as i like hill, i'm not penciling him in for another shutout this week... my infield needs to be much better this week.

No. Hendry wasn't smart enough to include a club option in the contract. They may have basically paid him to rehabilitate for a year only to see him walk away.Did it occur to you that maybe Miller didn't want it? Wow. you do know that a contract is a two way deal, right? Yes, I do. That's my point. Just because the Cubs don't hold a team option on Miller next season doesn't automatically mean that Hendry didn't think to try to get it. Contracts are a "two way deal", as you put it. What was your point, exactly? that nobody held a gun to hendry's head and forced him to sign miller w/o an option. hendry could have said no option, no contract. you make it sound as though hendry had no choice.

looks like ray is going to get the win now.

109 pitches for your franchise pitcher the first start back after a back injury in an 11-0 game when you're 30 games under .500. makes sense.

konerko's not in the lineup. could still get a save from hoffman...
-
now ray blows a save. could be an interesting afternoon.

my usual strength -- my infield -- hasn't even really done anything this week. but my two iffiest SP's have gone 4-0 with 3 QS and 83 points. i have some tough decisions to make lineup-wise this week. we can change lineups after one week just like it's a new matchup, correct?

mercy scoring decision.
-
i've decided i like guys who can catch the ball.

AL MVP- Breaking Down the Contenders

ortiz seems like he's a little too focused on the mvp race... i'm sure his teammates appreciate that last line. -
in case anyone didn't hear about this, they added a new rule stating that the guy who bats 7th gets to ride around the bases on either a skateboard or a golf cart.
-
here's another dandy... well...if he tries, then i don't mind that he's not very good. as long as he tries.
-
ah, i'm glad they took him out, but i could have used the QS.

not very many. Like I said, I could point to you at least a dozen outs since he's come back that Lee made that the other first baseman wouldn't have made, due to Lee's quick feet and his ability to stretch out for balls. Don't you think that saves us some runs? You're exaggerating. I really am not..I believe, for example, that the 1st and 3rd outs of the Braves 6th inning are not made by John Mabry (and that's not counting the stretch in the 2nd where he should have had the out called on the stretch of Ramirez's throw). I've seen multiple plays like this in several other games as well since he's come back. so you're not only assuming that other 1b wouldn't have made those plays, but you're also assuming that they wouldn't have made those plays AND their inability to make them would have led to runs. not to mention the fact that you're somehow crediting him with preventing a baserunner that actually reached base by citing to ramirez's error.

last nine outings... 55 2/3 ip, 42 h, 16 er, 16 bb, 51 k's, 2.59 era, 1.04 whip
-
not very many.

::Massive frustration:: Argh. Woulda been nice if Hill had ended the inning without any damage there. still a very solid outing, esp given the small strike zone tonight and three misplayed groundballs.
-
of course the next guy makes an out on the first pitch.
-
first time i've ever been mad at baker for taking a guy out too soon. stupid QS stat!
-
if the homeplate ump didn't have such a tight zone and the cubs could field a ground ball, hill would have made it to the 8th inning. damn it, i needed a QS for my fantasty team!
-
You reffering to his 2 walks, today? Three! it's almost as if hitters have some kind of ability to draw walks.
-
otherwise?
-
geez, where'd that miss?
