    I referred to him as Neifi Cedeno a few days ago. Cubs seem to be high on him. Probably like his Neifiesque tendencies. With the way Cedeno was hyped, I thought he'd have a little more plate discipline. Who was hyping Cedeno? He's never been able to take a walk. many here wanting him starting. hence, i assumed he must take walks, if he's popular here. wow, that's some crack research there.

    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 think it could happen. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the Cubs were scoring over 5 runs a game before Lee got hurt. We have a huge hole to dig ourself out of, but I think that we can score enough runs to win games once Lee gets back. that was, what, 14-15 games? additionally, during that time the cubs were hitting WAY over their head w/ RISP, a trend that most people knew wouldn't continue. i don't think the offense will be even average once lee gets back. they'd still have a terrible offensive outfield, and i don't think they can overcome that.

    WEEK 8

    abuck1220 replied to cbbryan's topic in Fantasy Sports

    argh...one more spot and i'd have had him in the draft. with three starts left, i should have a decent shot at being high score for the week.

    little pearl jam marker in the sand going to the break.
  8. abuck1220
    boy, is dusty going to be all over that murton to cedeno relay after the game.
  9. abuck1220
    take a walk or two today, idiots.
  10. abuck1220
    this 9 walks to 1 game today couldn't have come at a better time. give 'em hell, bruce.

    ? Hill had 70 pitches through 3 innings and 87 through 5 innings. right. and that's bad how...? you sound so disappointed that hill was getting guys out early in the count for an inning or two.
  12. abuck1220
    yes. Why? murton's development I thought Murton was killing the team, no? actually, he's taking them into the toilet. there's a difference.

    i was very concerned about dempster going into the season based on his pretty mediocre career #'s. i'm not really surprised to see him struggle.
  14. abuck1220
    No, we're talking about Baker, not Joe Morgan. Who was it that had the sig last year quoting Dusty saying "You can't walk across the plane" followed by a list of runs that walked across the plate against the Cubs? umm...i can't remember. 8-[
  15. abuck1220
    oh, sorry...the answer we were looking for is clutchier hitting and bad breaks.
  16. abuck1220
    the good thing is, they're both one year deals so they'll be gone after '06.
  17. abuck1220
    like jones and neifi, for instance.
  18. abuck1220
    the ball took a bad hop out of neifi's glove.
  19. abuck1220
    hmm...cubs outhit the braves 12-5, but lose 6-5. i wonder how that worked out?
  20. abuck1220
    he gave him 3 years cause other teams were offering him 2 and he didn't want encanarcion, sanders and burnitz. sure he likes him, but he doesn't "covet" Jones-types. that's absurd. he covets beltran-types, but the trib doesn't covet 7yr and 119 contracts. What is absurd is the fact that it's true that Hendry likes Jones type players. It's painfully obvious to anybody that has paid attention to Hendry moves and/or listened to what he says he likes in a player. so flip flopping on the coveting charge? jones hasn't sucked like many predicted. calm down. funny coming from a guy who used to be pierre's biggest supporter and now wants him benched.

    are people complaining about the ump b/c they think he's squeezing z? because strike two to langerhans was nowhere near the plate.
  23. abuck1220
    you can't walk across the plate.
  24. abuck1220
    i love how they talk about the 2005 astros as if that type of miracle turnaround is the rule rather than the exception. idiots.
  25. abuck1220
    in the greatest hits catalog of baker's worst lineups, this one's toward the top.
