    those that are in it can still add/drop correct? also, if a guy gets shut down for the year due to injury (but is not placed on the DL b/c of expanded rosters), can we still put them on our DL? this may be the case with papelbon.

    ? i could generously give him the benefit of the doubt and guess that he is trying to say it's more weird for him not to be prepping for the playoffs simply because he really isn't concerned about the braves. however, in any event, this guy's delusion that he perennially manages in the postseason is bordering on insanity.

    wow, HBC is right back in it. by the way, buddiga's lineup is all messed up.

    I'm hoping it's an NL team. Can you imagine Dusty in Arizona with all that young talent? Poor Connor would never see a start over Tony Clark. He'd push them to pick up Luis Gonzalez's extension too. That Luis knows how to win! dusty was in the on deck circle when gonzalez won the world series against rivera.

    weird...i read in more than one place that hill broke the record of 10 held by steve wilson.
  6. abuck1220
    just watched the game on tivo, and that's some of the best stuff i've ever seen hill have. he was dropping 2-0 curves in for strikes, buckling knees with both his curve and his fb, and how about that sidearm fb he k'ed duffy with?? i don't think i've ever seen him throw that before. and he broke the cub record for k's in a game by a lefthander.

    and the giants before that, the cardinals before that, the phillies before that, the astros before that, the pirates before that, the dbacks before that, and the cardinals before that. last eight outings... 50 ip, 36 h, 15 er, 14 bb, 45 k's, whip of 1.00, era of 2.70. just for fun, if you throw out his one bad start, those seven outings come out to... 45 1/3 ip, 30 h, 9 er, 9 bb, 43 k's, whip of .86, era of 1.79. edited for math mistake.

    wowsers.

    the best run of dempster's career (by faaaaar) was with dusty as his manager. his failings are not dusty's fault...dempster simply has never been a very good pitcher. the person who deserves the most blame is hendry (as usual) for giving him that contract.

    LEGITIMATE!
  11. abuck1220
    if i remember correctly, you had both weeks and fielder. i wanted weeks, but you insisted on fielder...worked out pretty well for me.

    HBC may be f'ed due to the rainouts (and arroyo's start). and i'd do the AJ for ibanez + hanley trade again in a heartbeat. i like ibanez, but i'd never guess that he'd be so productive. plus, i didn't have room in my lineup (or roster, for that matter) for ramirez. besides, my other trades have netted me vlad, schilling, glaus, and soriano w/o having to give up anybody that would have helped me this year. if you make enough trades some of them will work out for you!

    you think the "stem" of the problem for a team last in all of baseball in runs is the defense of the catcher? i'd like to say that a lineup with cedeno, izturis, murton, jones, pierre and blanco would be the worst offense in the league, but since the cubs had an offense better than that for much of the season and are already the worst offense in baseball, i'll just say that they'd be, by far, the worst offense in baseball.
  14. abuck1220
    you can't win with rookie pitchers.
  15. abuck1220
    does everybody love how cool and tough zambrano is now? though knowing dusty, even if he would have mentioned the pain, he probably still would have started.
  16. abuck1220
    so you're calling moore a viable major leaguer now? and novoa has not come anywhere close to giving the cubs the same production farnsworth did from 2001-2004, which even includes a terrible year from farnsworth. and i never said it was a bad trade...like i said, it's a wash. farnsworth got way more money than the cubs would have given him, so he wouldn't be a cub now anyway. but novoa's production could be matched by any number of 100's of other guys.
  17. abuck1220
    and his baserunning is probably the part of his game that i'm least impressed with. pretty decent pop for a cf.
  18. abuck1220
    He has about 20 on the season. his arm is probably the part of his game that i'm most impressed with.
  19. abuck1220
    I think the Farnsworth trade has been considered good for quite a while now. unless moore pans out, it was nothing better than a wash. novoa has been horrible.

    Boston team ERA by month: April: 4.67 May: 4.62 June: 4.46 July: 4.60 August: 5.81 Varitek last played on July 31. I think it's been proven that Varitek meant more to that pitching staff than anything else. He was probably overpaid a bit for that batting line but if you lower your team's ERA by over a run as a catcher, you're worth a decent amount of money. don't you think the fact that they've been running a bunch of scrubs out there for starts in august (plus all the injuries) has anything to do w/ the higher era? nah, it's all varitek's heartgritsoul.

    argh...BAD LUCK strikes again!!!
  22. abuck1220
    putting the pressure on aramis or trying to make the farnsworth trade look good?
  23. abuck1220
    i can't decide who i want to win between HBC and buddiga. it looks like buddiga would have double starts from cabrera and arroyo next week, while HBC would only have double starts from meche. go HBC???
  24. abuck1220
    damn it! think of all the moves i could have made to make up .4 points...still, that's a damn close race!
  25. abuck1220
    I still can't wrap my head around this. It's basically saying "don't have the wrong opinion, because people are going to make you pay." it does seem as though you're having trouble wrapping your head around this because that's not what i'm saying at all. Or else? you'll get called out for it later, which is something that's apparently bothering you quite a bit. Interesting how you are calling people out but starting from a couple of years ago I remember quite a few times you being wrong on a couple of things, did somebody call you out then? i'm not calling anybody out.
