    Nice - 10 outing from Lidge! he should keep the negative points in the single digits tonight. he's improving! blalock sends em home happy in arlington. is it too early to say that i was right about him having a rebound year?

    stop being a wuss, drop Wang (who is very mediocre anyway), move Street to your reserve list and promote Papelbon. that's what i'm debating. i think you just want me to do it b/c wang has two starts next week.

    i subbed ibanez for bradley because milton's being milton (by that i mean getting hurt and being a puss). it's really pissing me off that the a's haven't placed street on the DL. meanwhile, i have the best closer in baseball sitting on my minor league roster.

    indians, generally speaking, would have preferred hill starting tomorrow instead of guzman.
  5. abuck1220
    agreed. they are fun to watch when they work.

    cubs as a team, home= 323 obp/420 slg cubs as a team, away= 317obp/415slg educated.

    I think Marshall's job is safe for at least one more start. yeah, i would say so.

    i just say it's stupid. It is? Was it stupid tonight with the wind howling in? Was it stupid when the Cards used it to beat the Cubs in a game last year? I think you are going to have a pretty hard time with your position. you're right...your sample size of two is irrefutable.

    permission to use the f word w/ regard to the fact that juan encarnacion is going to match his weeks 1-3 point total in ONE GAME tonight. you shouldn't even get those points as punishment for having him on your roster.

    over/under on what time someone will start/bump a thread hyping small ball -- 9:43 CST.

    murton should have bunted.

    i think there's a difference between pumping your fist in excitement (zambrano) and tossing your bat in the air like a pompous jerk (pujols). getting excited isn't showing up your opponent. that being said, zambrano gets a ridiculous amount of slack from most people here, and i get very sick of his antics. for some reason when he acts like an idiot, everyone thinks it's cool and he can do no wrong. and i don't like jones' or ramirez's post homerun style any more than i like pujols'.

    i was wondering if that was going to happen...i saw that it was raining pretty good when i got out of class. 98 pitches for hill...wonder if he was going to go back out for the 7th. even with some control issues in the 6th, still a great day for him. it'll be interesting to see what happens should marshall struggle tonight. What you got against Marshall? He's pitched decently. Just without the stamina. I don't see him going down until Wood gets back, unless he gets shelled twice in a row. i don't have anything against him...i've liked him for a long time. i just like hill better. plus, i haven't exactly been blown away by what he's done w/ the big league club. and it does kinda tick me off that he hardly pitched all last year, but his 10 ST innings got him a spot in the rotation, while hill's fantastic 2005 got him right back to AAA.

    Doesn't make any sense for Hill not to be part of the ML Cubs at this point. How he didn't get the nod over Guzman (pushed 1 day back instead of 3), I'll never know. how he didn't get the nod over marshall i'll never know.
  19. abuck1220
    wow. i'd say that rusch, marshall and guzman should be watching their back, but they really don't have to, so i won't say it.
  20. abuck1220
    ha ha I like it. If I were Hill, I'd be somewhat frustrated about Marshall and Guzman starting the next two nights. Not frustrated at either to them to be clear, but at myself for not really nailing the opportunity when I had it. I'd be so fucussed and ready to impress, just in case one of Marshall or Guzman stumble...or Rusch continues to struggle and Wood/Prior aren't back yet. Now is the time for Hill to impress before all the doors of opportunity close with the Cubs for him. if he's really the 9th guy on the depth chart, i wish the cubs would just trade hiim. they're not helping his career any by having him dominate AAA until he's 29. if he can't crack the rotation w/ williams and rusch sucking and wood, prior, and miller all hurt, i don't see how he's ever going to. and i wouldn't say that he missed his opportunity. sure, he had a few struggles during ST, but you can't expect him to be perfect every time out. marshall was fortunate to have a good run of 10 innings, and guzman has potential on his side. hill would've had to have matched marshall inning for inning during ST, and that would have been hard to do.

    furious that two balls were hit past the pitcher's mound (ground out and single to cf), hill demands that theriot throw away a potential double play grounder so that he can rack up some more k's...and then he k's the next two guys. iowa has guys on 2nd and 3rd after a soto double. hill: 4 ip, 2 h, 0 r, 1 bb, 7 k's, 65 pitches

    Why is he unable to do that in the majors? who says he can't? he had more good innings than bad when he was up last year. Consistancy is the issue I guess. and sample size.
