    baker will be all over cedeno's error.

    A couple reasons: A) Williamson needs to come up in order to show he's healthy and trade him, for that they needed space. B) Aardsma hasn't been pitching all that well. In June he has a 4+ ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 5.91 k/9, 7/4 K/BB ratio. He's pretty much interchangable with Novoa. who is terrible. how he sticks on the roster at wuertz's expense is beyond me.

    damn, randa missed a grand slam by about a foot. oh well, i had already assumed a shutout from buehrle, so anything less than that is good.

    Week 13

    well, the spot on my injured reserve that opened up when patterson came back didn't stay open for long. cano to the DL...i picked up burke to take his spot. also excited to hear that myers is taking 2 1/2 weeks off to get his life in order after he beat the [expletive] out of his wife. classy guy.

    exactly. are you freaking kidding me?

    at the very least, hill has succeeded in rebuilding his trade value to at least the level it was last season (if not higher). you'd think teams would be calling.

    at this point, i'm not getting my hopes up too high for pie in cf next year. if i had to bet who would put up better big league numbers in '07 b/w pie and epatt, i'd go w/ patterson. that being said, i'd probably try and convince walker to stay on for one more year (giving epatt a year in AAA). move jones to cf, sign carlos lee, and trade the farm (including pie) for abreu. but that's another thread...congrats to eric! :D

    the sanitizers beat nsbb last year too...when it counted. :D

    nice.

    wow, that's a lot of incorrect statements in a really small space. Well i'm pretty sure that's sarcasm on mg's part, esp. considering he's calling for Hill in the '07 rotation. i would hope so. :D

    bad breaks. and pagan's still out.

    boy, the kids just killed the cubs again tonight.

    I pretty much agree. I am not going to work myself into a lather over this anymore. It was a good sign that Prior that was in low 90s all night, and topped out at 96 (I think), only b/c it increases his trade value. That's really all I care about at this point....and what the Bulls do on Wed. night. Trading Prior would be downright silly. As much as I love Prior, where would we be right now if we had pulled the trigger on the Miguek Tejada trade? We'd be a better team at this point, simply because Prior hasn't contributed much at all to this season. On the other hand, I'm not sure we'd be over 500. Had Hendry traded Prior for Tejada, he likely would have moved Cedeno to second and dumped Walker for peanuts. So, Tejada's production would be in the place of Walker rather than Cedeno. the cubs wouldn't be anywhere near .500 if you simply subbed tejada for walker. not even close. It doesn't mean they shouldn't have made the trade though. I'm not sure that it was ever on the table, but if it was, it's possible it could turn out to be a Lou Brock type thing. the prior-tejada situation couldn't be any more different than the lou brock trade.

    hill's last six starts: 40 ip, 22 h, 6 bb, 5 er, 54 k's. whip of .70, era of 1.12, 12.15 k/9. and for those discounting hill based on his poor big league numbers or his age, take a gander at the guy shutting the cubs down for the 20th time tonight -- chris capuano. his first 100+ big league innings were terrible, and he didn't have much success until last year, when he was 27.
  17. abuck1220
    through 7 for hill... 7 ip, 0 r, 1 h, 2 bb, 8 k's only threw one ball in the 7th. something like 97 pitches for hill, 67 or so strikes.
  18. abuck1220
    popout k walk k 77 pitches thru 5 for hill. rusch is starting wednesday for iowa, by the way.
  19. abuck1220
    hill's line so far... 4 ip, 0 r, 1 h, 1 bb, 6 k's mad at only being #6 on BA's hot sheet. he also doubled and was eventually thrown out at home trying to score on a wp. see what effect that has on his pitching this inning. dusty's favorite horse pagan is 0-2, bb, sb.

    too bad for rich that the big league club is in the heat of a pennant race and they can't afford to give him an extended look.

    In the last year of their existence (1952), there were 8 teams in a league. (I don't know what year you're talking about, so that's what I used) Last I checked, we're only in a 6 team division. And the Braves were further behind when they turned it around than we are (and won the league by 10 games). in the time that has passed since the braves apparently did this, do you realize how many teams have been this far behind and not come back to win the division? like a billion.

    without looking at his numbers, i would guess that alex gonzalez would make a better argument for the existence of clutch hitting. he was a terrible hitter who (seemingly...again, i haven't looked at the numbers) hit a bunch of late homeruns. ortiz is a great hitter who is still great in the 9th inning. didn't stop the guys on weei from laughing at people who don't believe in clutch hitting when ortiz hit the walkoff on saturday.

    We have the third worst record in all of baseball. We stink. While it is possible for the Cubs to play better, it's ridiculous to assume that the other teams in the league will play bad enough for the Cubs to pass them. I have never said it was going to happen. I'm just saying it is possible teams have done it before. I assume the Cubs will continue to stink, but that is only an assumption, sometimes they can be wrong. Hence the reason they are not called facts. for example?

    I guess BP doesn't actually watch games. i love that line. nevin's out there tonight, neifi's at 2nd. tough to blame the kids if they lose tonight.

    trade murton, please.
