  1. and while i don't have any article on hand, he strikes me as the kind of guy that would naysay the whole 'babying the pitcher' talk that started around that time.
  2. good thing we beefed up the offense by adding jones!
  3. in a way the cubs are cursed...with people that apparently don't know how to keep pitchers healthy.
  4. Huh? i'm guessing prior won't be in the rotation to begin the season. z, maddux, williams, rusch, hill/guz/marshall. ew.
  5. hill, marshall, or guzman? hmm...
  6. well, it looks like one of these guys will open the season in the rotation. should be a fun competition to follow.
  7. both williams and rusch are usually horrible in ST. no worries. i'm more worried that both are usually horrible during the regular season. raw beats me to it. his wit is lightning quick, people.
  8. i don't know where the idea that hairston is solid defensively at 2nd came from. i think he's average at best. it seems like defensive ability is based mostly on reputation and a couple of quotes. larussa says pujols is a GG defender, so now everyone says it. someone in minnesota said walker sucks defensively, so now everyone says it.
  9. i don't have a problem w/ what he said, but he doesn't seem like he really wants to stay in chicago when he says stuff like this... walker's mouth is going to lead to us suffering through 150 games of neifi at 2b.
  10. if japanese umps had taken that run away from the us, everybody would be flipping out.
  11. i won't be there til the 18th...hopefully that business will be gone by then.
  12. man, i'm sure glad the days w/o rain streak is over. now that means it definitely won't rain when i'm there, right?
  13. dude, he's pitched like 20 major league innings. are you serious? he went to college. and he jumped three levels last year. come on.
  14. That's the key really, learning how to win. exactly. dusty can't just ignore a 2-0 record. BH, i'm just watching the yahoo boxscore refresh itself.
  15. 6-4 cubs. hill could get out of this w/ a win...assuming he made it through the second.
  16. yes, these two spring training innings have sold me.
  17. hill gave up a run on two hits in the first.
  18. i thought xm couldn't broadcast split squad games. i'm really disappointed in their ST coverage...it blows.
  19. if i remember correctly, hohokam opens two hours before game time. i don't think i've ever seen the cubs take BP before a game there. they either do it before the park opens or at another location that fans can't get to. parking at hohokam does suck. it's all just grassy hills. we were there once in the middle of a serious downpour, and i seriously don't know how there weren't 500 accidents. cars were trying to drive up steep grass hills that were buried in standing water, tires were spinning, cars were rolling back down the hills...it took us forever to get out of there.
  20. Maybe Hill/Guzman have a chance to start the year in the rotation after all..... both have been better than williams or rusch, though obviously in limited action. i haven't been able to figure out dusty's formula as to who spring training counts for yet, however... It's a good thing he isn't managing the Padres. Bobby Hill, Josh Barfield, and Bellhorn are battling for the 2nd base job... wow, two guys he hates plus a rookie. he'd be making a call to delino.
  21. Maybe Hill/Guzman have a chance to start the year in the rotation after all..... both have been better than williams or rusch, though obviously in limited action. i haven't been able to figure out dusty's formula as to who spring training counts for yet, however...
  22. good thing spring training doesn't count for rusch.
  23. just like you're not used to spending the postseason at home. if you say it enough, it'll catch on.
