I don't think he exists. Hendry just made him up in order to make the signing look decent. the guy who ripped hendry for signing jones at the convention is feeling pretty smart these days.
Maybe he's making up for bunting the first pitch of the game when everyone was expecting him to do so. pierre is overrated in so many ways, it's hard to find a place to start. however, i'll go out on a limb and say his bunting may be the most overrated aspect of his game.
Does Williams have any options left? who cares? seriously though, i don't know. guzman was roughed up in his last start, and his era is high. however, his whip, k's, etc are all really good...it's a strange set of numbers.
Yep; that makes me a happy camper. :D At least when you go down this week you can take some comfort knowing that it's due to an ageless wonder helping the Cubs win. it's talk like this that inspires my team to jack three homers and a couple of doubles w/in a half an hour span to make your 20+ point lead a distant memory. lesson learned. There may be something to this. Today I keep my mouth shut, and I take back the lead. looks like i'll be up a bit going into my four start day tomorrow. could be up even more, but my team is 0-4 w/ 4 k's w/ the bases loaded tonight. :evil:
hill's final (i'm guessing) line... 6 ip, 4 h, 2 r (1 earned), 4 bb, 7 k's well, the control he had over his first two starts left him a bit tonight, but still a good line. era goes up to 1.42. i wish the cubs would just trade him to stop torturing me.
after the two walks... 2-5 forceout on a bunt basehit to left center in front of pie, loading the bases strike out swinging strike out swinging! 98 pitches.
my guess would be that walker moves to first and theriot gets called up to fill in whereever needed. and thank goodness for that. your team's not complete unless you have 18 middle infielders.
Why are you assuming the Cubs wont make a deal? for one, because the cubs love neifi. also, they're not going to give up the farm for two months of someone like sweeney, who will then sit on the bench making millions of dollars. if someone like clark or c. wilson was available for fairly cheap, then maybe they'd do it. this is why you get at least one power bat for your bench, and not a bunch of utility guys like macias, bynum, neifi, and hairston that can \:D/ play a lot of positions \:D/ people said that having a weak bench wasn't that big of a deal, but it is now.
it seems like it would be better for a rh hitter to injure his right wrist than his left...but i could be wrong. if he goes on the DL, i'd guess that restovich would get called up. hoffpauir could be considered as well, since they may want to have a capable defensive backup for walker/mabry, but i don't think he's on the roster. come to think of it, i don't know if restovich is...

There may be something to this. Today I keep my mouth shut, and I take back the lead. i'm just glad dusty thought the sixth inning of a tie game vs the heart of the dodger order was a good time for aardsma to make his cub debut, preventing marshall from getting a QS. by the way, just in case anyone was wondering, i mistakenly thought wang was on waivers, so i made what i thought was a claim on him. turns out he wasn't on waivers, so he went right into my lineup, taking loe's spot. juan said to just leave it since i'm not gaining any starts, and NCC has agreed to that. the only excuse i can give for my stupidity is the distraction of watching 14 cubs carted off the field w/ injuries.
he threw home? Hard to follow the game through all the hand-wringing. yep. and it costs 'em. thanks, reppy. and it was a stupid and a bad throw. he should have been more worried about keeping jones at 2nd then trying to get neifi, who he didn't have a real shot at.
