  1. ANDRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUW!
  2. NO!!!! Why involve the Padres?? And Howry for Vazquez or Garcia I would not do. I would demand Broadway and Fields in return for Howry. I have a hard time believing the Sox would give up their two top prospects for a middle reliever. did you see what the nats got for two average middle relievers?
  3. he sat and did nothing during the healthiest two weeks of his career.
  4. That's one of the problems of moving Jones to center. There's no reason he should be starting against lefties and he'd need a platoon partner. Murton wouldn't be able to be that guy. but somebody would. they wouldn't need to be that good if you have two solid corner guys. heck, if you have a stud at each corner, i can live w/ jones' flailing hopelessly at lefties.
  5. for all the complaining you do about people talking about OBP a lot, you sure do talk about OBP a lot.
  6. and blanco can field well enough to offset his subpar skills as a hitter?
  7. wow, why didn't i think of that?! this guy's really smart!
  8. there just isn't room for him on this talent-laden fifth place team.
  9. hill gives up a homer in the 8th to tie it. i can't decide whether he should be demoted, released, or killed. 8 ip, 7 h, 3 er, 1 bb, 14 k's only 100 pitches, which is pretty damn impressive. edit: hill being ph for.
  10. novoa's young and unproven...yet he somehow has made it into dusty's good graces. there's never been any talk about demoting him, and he's been terrible.
  11. wow...quick start for the tooters offense.
  12. i don't know which is better...the 'he just got here' line or basically saying that playing theriot will cause the team to lose. the 'he just got here' line makes it seem like he needs a few days off to unpack his suitcase, get his haircut, get used to his new pants, etc. so that's pretty good. but then you have the 'we still have to win' crap, which is so idiotic it's comical because a) the cubs won today (despite theriot's efforts to sabotage the win with his stupid double and triple) and b) the cubs haven't exactly been piling up the wins by playing the non-kids.
  13. the platoon's obviously working. kudos to dusty.
  14. and alamo's one closer blows a save. schilling's start + haren's start gets me back in it. i have bush going tomorrow, but it should be a close one. i vote to combine this week w/ the next one, by the way.
  15. Too bad Jake Fox wasn't a year or two closer. if you think barrett is weak defensively...
  16. Who would you have in CF next year then? I dont' think Pie is quite ready. i'd consider moving jones to cf. his offense would look a lot better there.
  17. now when they ask dusty why they aren't playing kids, he can say, "i played theriot that one time."
  18. the cubs are doing their best to make his prime years irrelevant by having terrible teams.
  19. i don't think walker and cedeno are going to navy pier to ride the ferris wheel together tonight.
  20. i don't know what would have given you that idea. the same idiots are in charge now that were in charge then.
  21. yeah, that 2005 era of 4.51 is a spitting image of this year's 3.47.
  22. link fox makes the high class A team. hill should have made the AAA team the AAA starting pitchers... Pos. Player, Team W L ERA G GS CG SV IP H HR BB SO AVG SP Jeremy Sowers, Buffalo (Indians) 9 1 1.39 15 15 2 0 97 78 1 29 54 .224 SP Jered Weaver, Salt Lake (Angels) 6 1 2.10 12 11 2 0 77 63 7 10 93 .223 SP Tom Gorzelanny, Indianapolis (Pirates) 6 5 2.35 16 16 0 0 100 67 4 27 94 .194 SP Jason Hirsh, Round Rock (Astros) 10 2 2.28 18 18 1 0 110 81 4 45 99 .206 for comparison's sake... hill 6 1 1.81 13 13 0 0 84.2 54 2 19 107 .183
  23. too bad for rich that the big league team is so full of great talent right now.
