    Read my stuff over the past few weeks. I constantly mention it and ask about it. How do you know nobody has asked about it? I ask about it every day and write about it more than anybody. This is an organization that clearly values other stats. ie losses. keep up the good work, bruce.

    same thing could be said for murton. his value was sky high at the end of '05.
  3. abuck1220
    i'm not saying i'd trade murton for dubois, but it's funny how murton is so loved around here while everyone kinda hates doobs.
  4. abuck1220
    yeah, thank goodness for that! dubois' OPS w/ the cubs: .761 murton's OPS this year: .712 Come on dude, you and I both know Murton is going to be an all around MUCH better player than Dubois. Dubois is AAAA. That's it. Murton is a much better hitter with a much better eye, with a little less power that will develop in time. says who? i hope i'm wrong, but i'm not nearly as infatuated w/ murton as everyone else seems to be. i like his eye a lot, but dude needs to add a little pop...his high average has been driven by bloop/infield hits for quite a while now. don't get me wrong, though, it's not like i want him sent to AAA or anything. might as well see what he can do.

    how 'bout those new bleachers, eh? pretty awesome, aren't they!?
  7. abuck1220
    i don't get too excited for third place finishes, sorry.

    wow, i didn't know the BS "bad luck" line was being bought at a national level. good to know that this horrible three year run is NOT the fault of hendry, baker, rothschild, or the trainers. BAD BREAKS!!!
  9. abuck1220
    argh...the bad breaks continue!
  10. abuck1220
    yeah, once prior gets back this offense is really going to take off. i hate to defend dusty, but the majority of the blame does go to hendry. all the promise he showed in 2003 is but a distant memory now. the guy is a terrible GM. i want dusty fired too, but as long as hendry's in charge, it probably won't matter.
  11. abuck1220
    I didn't mean to imply his return would have much impact, but his injury has been mentioned by Hendry as contributing to the team's struggles.... so as soon as everyone gets back, we can watch the team continue to struggle without excuses. then hendry is an idiot. i'm pretty sure that a crummy 5th outfielder is not the difference between winning and losing very often.

    when the marlins are laughing at you, you know your team sucks. and, yes, i think the marlins were definitely laughing at the cubs after that one.
  13. abuck1220
    i've made a huge mistake.
  14. abuck1220
    i like how people lump pagan in w/ the likes of lee and prior as if his return is going to help the slightest bit.

    WEEK 8

    frickin' manny w/ a 37 point week by wednesday...

    fire bank and promote costanza.
  17. abuck1220
    Right. Because we don't know what happens next. Are you in denial? Do you not see a patern here? If we have a patern repeat itself 5 times, isn't that a pretty good indication that it will repeat again? Since he made his last start there's a 100% chance he'll make this next start. It's called math, people. unfortunately, there's also a 100% chance that he'll give up three runs in five innings.
  18. abuck1220
    is there any way we can blame patterson for '06? i know he used to get most of the blame when he was here, so my instincts tell me that he's to blame for this mess.
  19. abuck1220
    you know who has put the cubs in the toilet this month? maddux.
  20. abuck1220
    How about OBP among all players that have started every game in the season? I dunno about that - it would be hard to check on since different teams have played different numbers of games thus far, but I can tell you this: Pierre's OBP in the leadoff spot is the worst among qualified batters in MLB. Cedeno's OBP in the #2 spot is second worst among batters with 75 AB or more at that position in the order. Our OBP in the 1 and 2 spots in the order is actually worse so far this year than it was in 2005, when we had that fabulous 1-2 punch of Patterson and Perez. hilarious.
  21. abuck1220
    LEGITIMATE!
  22. abuck1220
    and pierre quickly undoes the good done by his walk.
  23. abuck1220
    well then pierre should lose his starting job w/ his sub-.580 OPS. i hope so. trade hill for craig wilson and move jj to cf. wow, you turned on pierre quickly.
  24. abuck1220
    well then pierre should lose his starting job w/ his sub-.580 OPS.
  25. abuck1220
    you honestly think that getting ONE guy back is going to turn the second worst offense in baseball to an offense capable of contending for a world series? i'd trade all the players and contracts in the marlins system for all the players and contracts in the cubs system.
