    geez, seven hits and only six k's for hill. embarrassing. papelboner!

    He is? He's not at all in line with his numbers as a reliever. His numbers as a reliever are less than 60 innings prior to this year, not a whole lot. True, but it's also a much different game pitching as a short reliever compared to a starter and that's evidenced by the many successful closers/set-up men who were failed starters. He wasn't going to stay on the pace he was at during the 30+ inning scoreless streak and 25 consecutive saves, but he's also a better relief pitcher than he's shown in the last month. what makes you think the relatively few good relief innings are the norm while the relatively few bad relief innings are not? it's not like he's racked up 200 fantastic relief innings that dwarf his recent struggles. and i would not say that there have been "many" successful closers/set up men that were failed starters.

    rich hill's imminent no-hitter will be temporarily delayed by rain.
  4. abuck1220
    he's right about in line w/ his career numbers. i don't know why everyone's so surprised.
  5. abuck1220
    why is this a testy time? the cubs are 5,000 games under .500...it's not like this was game 7 of the world series or something. who even cares at this point?

    ARGH...ROOKIE PITCHERS!!!!!!!!!!!
  7. abuck1220
    argh, we gotta fix this young pitching.
  8. abuck1220
    poor dusty having to use all these young pitchers. if only he had more vets like maddux (4.80 era) and rusch (7.80 era) the cubs would probably be in first place.

    rich hill day...my favorite, yet most depressing, day of the minor league week. look at those numbers, people.

    chris burke was a nice mid-week injury replacement...0-11, 4 k's, error, gidp. i would have been better off with mickey morandini out there...literally.

    ouch. jeff could be a decent pick up for a contending NL team in need of a 5th starter. he had an underrated 2005.
  12. abuck1220
    i'm not big on wuertz, but that's a pretty strange thing to say. he's had over 100 decent big league innings. he was real good in 2005 until he got run into the ground. how novoa cracks the big league roster over wuertz is beyond me. novoa has inexplicably become one of dusty's guys despite the fact that he's awful and under 30. the guys this organization latch onto really boggle the mind sometimes.

    good ab, neifi.
  14. abuck1220
    podsednik's 11 CS of the year. boy, his speed is really a difference maker!
  15. abuck1220
    No, just finding holes. ozuna's ball was very hard hit, konerko's was a bloop. dye's hit wasn't a dribbler or anything, but it was hit in the right spot. same w/ aj's. i'm concerned that marshall is going to fall apart as his innings add up.
  16. abuck1220
    at least they're sucking with a bunch of young players.
  17. abuck1220
    after hill threw 4 1/3 no hit, six k innings in relief on 6/22/05, he didn't even pitch in a big league game again until 7/25/05. so, what i'm saying is, guzman's got another two weeks. now when rusch throws "well" out of the pen one time he gets a spot in the rotation. fair is fair.
  18. abuck1220
    lame pearl jam reference by bob. can't hold it against him, i guess...at least he knows who they are.
  19. abuck1220
    I'm not attempting to make an argument against CLee. But, I don't like him if you are curious. That dirty play on Walker last year was uncalled for. I'd like to see a line up that featured .350+ OBP potential at every position. Not just potential, but rather likely. Instead of ignoring OBP completely like the front office has done for years now, I don't want a little emphasis on OBP. I want a lot. A lot is what it is going to take to turn this offense around. but that's not gonna happen, so the best we can hope for is a guy w/ a high SLG. big SLG and mediocre OBP is as good as it's gonna get.
  20. abuck1220
    dunn doesn't hit sac flies. seriously though, i'd be fine w/ lee just like i'd be fine w/ soriano. i'm aware that neither post a very good OBP, but i've come to grips w/ the fact that the cubs don't care about walks. since they're not going to get a high-OBP guy, i'm just hoping for a good SLG...as opposed to a guy w/ bad OBP and SLG (i'm looking at you, juan pierre).
  21. abuck1220
    i'd have rather they tied it through stolen bases, sac bunts, and defense, but i guess extra base hits and homeruns will have to do.
  22. abuck1220
    worth every penny. oh, and rooks just continue to kill the team.
  23. abuck1220
    Somewhat are - Cedeno couldn't get a bunt down to move Jones to third. jones probably would have held up had cedeno got the bunt down anyway.
  24. abuck1220
    dempster's not very good, but it's foolish to take the job away from him. oh, what's that, you say? change this team's name to the chicago knee jerk reactions.

    don't worry, the cubs will snap out of it tomorrow against bush, who is starting for me.
