    i'm assuming the trade deadline is still the 31st? also, are we doing waivers as we have in the past, which would allow post-july 31st trades?

    I find this quote amazing coming from the same guy that has made sure to point out time after time that he has had rookies playing as well as players on the DL. yeah, for someone who is constantly nay-saying excuses, he sure makes a lot of them.

    While I agree with your thought process, I find it hard to lump Maddux (a hall of fame 300+ winning pitcher) in with the rest of those scrubs. Pierre has been playing really well as of late and Maddux numbers aren't bad for a projected 5th starter. pierre was absolutely worthless the first three months or whatever of the season. it's so nice of him to turn it on now that the cubs are 25 games under .500 so he can salvage a nice contract out of the whole ordeal. maddux is not being paid like a 5th starter, and his performance over the past three months has fallen below what you'd want out of a fifth starter. no matter how you slice it, those two have hurt the cubs this year much more than rich hill has. yet baker is acting as though he's at the end of his rope w/ hill.

    as i said in another thread, baker's comments about how hill has to just "do it" when he gets here cracks me up. he acts like his patience with hill, after all of four starts, is just at the end of the line, and he's so fed up with hill ruining his season. meanwhile, he seems pretty content with the failure of pierre, maddux, rusch, neifi, etc to "do it" over the course of an entire season and at 20 times the salary.

    I think every single Cubs fan in the world know about Hill dominance in AAA. That doesn't help the Cubs in anyway unless Hill steps up. and sending him down after two bad starts doesn't help the cubs in any way either.

    funny...the failure of guys like rusch, perez, pierre, maddux, etc to "do it" doesn't seem to bother baker that much. i just love how he acts so fed up with how these kids are just dragging the team down.
  7. abuck1220
    yeah, that's nothing close to irony.

    WEEK 16

    abuck1220 replied to cbbryan's topic in Fantasy Sports

    damn, i thought the three-way tie at the top was going to be broken this week. maybe the ol' nccubbies can get HBC next week!

    because how one organization's teams (out of six) did against one team over the course of eight measly games tells you absolutely nothing about their system as a whole. sorry, but if reputable scouting/minor league publications say their system, as a whole sucks, that holds more weight than the fact that you've seen their low A team play decent ball over an eight game span against the chiefs.

    wow. jim hendry may finally be getting a strongly worded letter from this cub fan.
  11. abuck1220
    sullivan's not a fan either...
  12. abuck1220
    this is not true..he is helping guys like Marmol and Marshall. If he is traded he wont be able to help them learn. Is there any quanitative proof that he is helping them? of course not. the best thing he could do for the cubs' young pitchers is to leave and let them have his spot in the rotation. hill's going to win 300 games in AAA before he ever gets another shot at this rate.
  13. abuck1220
    hill's last 10 starts have been ridiculous... 69 1/3 ip, 39 h, 13 bb, 10 er, 94 k's that's 12.2 k/9, 0.75 whip, 1.30 era. and that's not just a small two game sample...that's roughly 1/3 of a season. i don't think there's any doubt that he's been the best pitcher in minor league baseball, not only this year, but over the past two seasons.
  14. abuck1220
    for those that don't venture to the minor league forums...hill's line tonight... 7 1/3 ip, 1 h, 1 bb, 0 r, 14 k's. can't wait to see rusch out there in five days!
  15. abuck1220
    williamson didn't sound too happy about how he was used today...
  16. abuck1220
    hill coming out after striking out his fifth straight batter. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7 1/3, 1 h, 1 bb, 0 r, 14 k's. absolutely unreal. it boggles the mind that he is still in AAA.
  17. abuck1220
    i-cubs are 19-5 over the past two seasons when hill starts. 14.
  18. abuck1220
    the guy they have in the booth is fascinating. -where's your favorite place to stay in vegas? -i don't like las vegas. -are you excited to see talledega nights? -no. -did you see old school? -no. riveting stuff. hill k's to end the bottom of the seventh, so it looks like he's back out for the 8th. he's at 90 pitches.
  19. abuck1220
    can't wait to see rusch get the start if marshall goes on the DL.
  20. abuck1220
    13. unreal.

    wuertz was called up.
  24. abuck1220
    maybe that's what the cubs are waiting for. the way he was going tonight, i thought he'd have a shot at a no-no. just 81 pitches for hill.
  25. abuck1220
    apparently hill dove after a ball (don't known when that happened) and may have been shaken up. he recovers to k the next guy. 6 ip, 1 h, 1 bb, 10 k's
