    of course they would. and the cubs are also going to have a hard time contending w/o lee. but they're also going to have a hard time contending with a black hole in rf, rusch in the rotation, wood on the shelf, and having a complete lack of plate discipline. but the focus will be on lee's injury.

    i don't get all this talk about wanting the 'old zambrano' back. what's the difference between this zambrano and the 'old zambrano'? new zambrano busts bats over his knees, throws his arms up in the air when a teammate screws up, and acts like just as much of an ass as old zambrano. only difference i can see is that 'new' zambrano sucks at pitching.

    ...behind, of course, the fact that the cubs' best player is going to miss two months... ...is that the cubs already have a built in excuse in case they don't contend this year. instead of being forced to admit/address the mistakes they've made, we'll just hear about how tough it was to contend w/o lee. their shortcomings won't be because they gave a below average jacque jones a ridiculous 3 year deal. it won't be because they gave rusch two years and a spot in the rotation. it won't be because they totally bungled wood's bullpen experiment last year. it won't be because they finished dead last in the NL in walks. it won't be because baker is an incompetent in game manager. nope, it'll be because lee was hurt. and he'll be healthy and ready to go at the start of 2007, so no changes will be made.

    so you're disappointed that rusch is out of the rotation? i don't care if the rotation is vets, kids, or women, i'd just like to see someone not give up a hr every other inning. he really wasn't as bad as his #'s would lead you to believe. he had two really bad starts (1 1/3 ip, 7 runs and 3 ip, 6 runs) that really skew his numbers, but he also had a stretch of 15+ innings where he allowed just four runs. i hope the cubs have a little patience with him. oh, and about friggin' time. :D

    i thought it was really shameless how the striking umps used the delmon young situation.

    actually, bob, it wouldn't have been extra bases because hairston didn't run.

    This might be the most ridiculous statement ever made on nsbb.com agreed. it will at least cost the cubs 140 games, minimum.
  8. abuck1220
    well, that was stupid.
  9. abuck1220
    that's at least the second time i've seen jones 84 hop a throw from rf.
  10. abuck1220
    z's gonna drill capuano. how about we just stand on the base from now on.
  11. abuck1220
    sarge didn't appreciate the fake tag.
  12. abuck1220
    20 walks in 29 innings? that's terrible.
  13. abuck1220
    the baltimore area must not get wgn. corey's batting leadoff today.
  14. abuck1220
    yeah, it's rained non-stop this weekend.

    How about Rusch DFA and Ryu up? Ryu can start a few games until Woody comes back, and if he is better than Guzman he can continue to start until Prior is back. (I'd also send Aardvark down and recall Wuertz.) if ryu gets starts ahead of hill, then hill needs to be traded. it simply wouldn't be fair for him to pitch that well for so long and be 11th on the depth chart.

    Week 4

    abuck1220 replied to a topic in Fantasy Sports

    Third time in four weeks I've bested 320 points, too. my defense is going to put a stop to that next week, my friend.

    johnson swung at the first pitch too...that's solid hitting. also, i have a strategic secret that i wanted to share...DON'T PITCH TO PUJOLS! especially in a 1-1 game in the 8th inning. don't these teams get espn?
  19. abuck1220
    there's no way they'd DFA rusch. zambrano could get hurt in his next start or guzman/hill could go completely in the toilet. if you dump rusch, then who do you go to? ryu? walrond? marmol? i'd send aardsma down, and bring up wuertz just so you have a fresh arm out there for the next couple days. then when it comes times for rusch's next start, you send down whoever's pitching the worst b/w wuertz and novoa and bring up hill for the start.

    i wish you guys would quit bumping this thread...other teams may read this and find out about barrett's...um...decision to randomly take a couple days off. 8-[
  21. abuck1220
    i thought you were always a rusch supporter?
  22. abuck1220
    Earl Weaver just turned over. in a stunning development, the move leads to zero runs.
  23. abuck1220
    except that both of those guys have shown the ability to be at least moderately productive in the past couple of years.
  24. abuck1220
    i've been driving this bandwagon since before some of you guys were born.
  25. abuck1220
    geez, batlimore's down two in the 9th w/ guys at first and second and no outs...and they have patterson sacrifice bunt??
