    the cubs don't have a decent ph, and even one of them should miraculously reach, pierre ain't going to bunt-homerun them home anyway.

    i see the cubs came back from the break with a renewed commitment to aggressive hitting.

    Absolutely, I could not have put it better. Throughout my teenage years in the mid 90's, when I was drumming for rock bands at party's and stuff, we played ALOT of Pearl Jam and Greenday stuff. I personally enjoyed playing drums on Green Day tunes because they are so quick and fun. Tough decision, but I went with Pearl Jam because I feel that Green Day has alot of songs that sound very similar. I'm not a fan of bands that stick to one formula of tune. I realize Green Day has improved in recent years with that, but I still went with Pearl Jam. I've heard that Green Day is fantastic live while Pearl Jam sucks live. probably the most incorrect statement ever uttered on these boards.

    amazing minor league numbers (ie hill) >>>>>>>>>> bad minor league numbers (ie pagan). Decent ML numbers by Pagan and Pathetic ML numbers by Hill. And a round and a round we go. :lol:

    bad minor league numbers + bad major league numbers = bad major league player (99% of the time).

    relief pitching is the new team speed. thankfully the cubs already have a bunch of it, so hendry may be prevented from getting in on the bonanza.

    wow, goony is challenging me for hill's biggest supporter. :D i would love for the cubs to go to a six man rotation that includes hill (and one that includes guzman after maddux is traded). or, at the very least perhaps some type of piggy backing system to keep marmol and marshall's innings under control. of course, the chances of the cubs doing that is 0%.

    the "we don't have room" excuse with regard to murton, cedeno and hill in '05 and hill, guzman, and to some extent, wuertz in '06 is probably what makes me the most mad about the whole situation. what a waste the last two seasons have been...all in the name of trying to maybe reach .500. it's one thing if you're winning 95 games and competing for the postseason. but if you're 20 games under .500, i don't think you should be too concerned about bumping the guys that got you to 20 games under .500. oh, where ever do we have the room for these youngsters when our 5th place roster hath runneth over with so much exceptional talent?

    1) zambrano has been abused as much as any pitcher in baseball since 2004 and was just hit in the throwing elbow with a bat. 2) marshall is going to soon blow by his previous career high in innings, and this is the first time he's pitched above AA. 3) marmol had never pitched above AA until this year and will also likely blow by his previous career high in innings. 4) the cubs are 20 some games under .500 and hopelessly out of the race. a four man rotation sounds like a great idea.

    what is he, a 19 year old sorority girl? people who brag about drinking/getting drunk are pathetic.
  14. abuck1220
    What more does Rich Hill have to prove at AAA? Let's see if he can make adjustments at the big league level. Also, Guzman is still getting his arm strengthened after getting an 18-day vacation to the end of the big league bullpen. I'm fine with giving him another shot, but the guy just baffles me. He dominates in AAA but then gets shelled outing after outing in the majors. How many more chances do we give this guy to prove himself? ugh, i know. what's it been, 150 starts? enough already, you know?
  15. abuck1220
    was anyone hyping uggla before the season? it's not as if coaches, the media, fans, etc were screaming at the top of their lungs about how great he was, but BA just refused to have it.
  16. abuck1220
    the cubs have also talked about going w/ a 4 man rotation out of the gate, which would rank in most organizations' top 10 stupid things to do, but with the cubs it would just sneak in the top 50. in other words, if prior goes to the DL, hill/guzman will come up and sit in the pen for two weeks.
  17. abuck1220
    now that's the teixeira i've been waiting for...hits 1/3 of his previous hr total in one night!
  18. abuck1220
    i think you overestimate the importance of guys that throw 2 innings a week and post mid-high 3 era's and 1.3-1.4 whips. guys like that aren't extremely hard to find.
  19. abuck1220
    doesn't really matter if it is...hendry's BFF with eyre and howry, who would both (apparently) bring in seven hall of famers each. though williamson's certainly available, and he's not much worse than majewski.
  20. abuck1220
    i'd say it's usually a pretty good trade when you end up with (arguably) the three best players involved.
  21. abuck1220
    you seem to be ok w/ trying to be competitive and maybe sniff .500 because that's exactly what they've done the past three years.
  22. abuck1220
    Maybe you don't realize that a prediction on an internet message board will have no bearing on how a team will react when lossing 100 games either. I prefer winning to retooling and cutting and slashing the current team. I guess other don't. the current team is not capable of winning. that's the problem.
  23. abuck1220
    just because you predict something doesn't mean you want it to happen. or maybe you don't realize that a prediction on an internet message board will have no bearing on how a team plays.
  24. abuck1220
    100 losses. I was about to say a few less losses, like 91, but that would take a .500 record the rest of the way, and I don't see that happening. That is hilarious, they have to play above .500 just to avoid 90 losses. A couple games under and they flirt with 95 losses. How can Hendry possibly think this is acceptable? don't worry...if things start to decline, hendry's all over it.
  25. abuck1220
    Uhh, I hope you realize I wasn't trying to argue against your point. I don't want Rusch. oh, i'm pretty sure i remember you saying he was your favorite player when he played for your favorite team (the mets).
