    there just isn't room for him on this talent-laden fifth place team.

    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.

    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.
  4. abuck1220
    wow...quick start for the tooters offense.
  5. abuck1220
    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.

    the platoon's obviously working. kudos to dusty.

    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.

    relievers are fickle.
  9. abuck1220
    Too bad Jake Fox wasn't a year or two closer. if you think barrett is weak defensively...
  10. abuck1220
    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.
  11. abuck1220
    now when they ask dusty why they aren't playing kids, he can say, "i played theriot that one time."
  12. abuck1220
    the cubs are doing their best to make his prime years irrelevant by having terrible teams.
  13. abuck1220
    i don't think walker and cedeno are going to navy pier to ride the ferris wheel together tonight.
  14. abuck1220
    i don't know what would have given you that idea. the same idiots are in charge now that were in charge then.
  15. abuck1220
    yeah, that 2005 era of 4.51 is a spitting image of this year's 3.47.

    too bad for rich that the big league team is so full of great talent right now.
  18. abuck1220
    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.
  19. abuck1220
    i see the cubs came back from the break with a renewed commitment to aggressive hitting.
  20. abuck1220
    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:

    that's why i had to get directv.

  24. abuck1220
    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.
