    baker can't say enough lately about how much he doesn't like youngsters... also, i'm guessing cedeno's huge clutch hit today didn't count because the marlins didn't have 'a book' on him yet. if they did, they would have undoubtedly retired him.

    i have to say, it doesn't sound like raw can get in, and i'm not too disappointed to be missing a two start week from pedro.

    Yep. Harry's Budcrew and Buddiga are 1-1 in the season series, so if there is a tie it goes to points. Currently, Buddiga holds a 188 pt edge in total points. Who do you want to play in Rd 1 ? hard to say. you would have seven starts (w/ suppan and vazquez getting two). i think HBC would have seven as well (w/ morris and lackey getting two). i'm just glad i won't have to run into a two start week from either of you guys' studs (willis and zito for you, z for HBC)...especially since i'm out sheets for the rest of the season. your offense scares me with sheff, arod, ortiz and griffey. HBC has cabrera, delgado and a surging victor martinez. i like my pen over both of your guys', and i'm hoping that they pick up the slack for my mediocre rotation.

    so w/ this win, i've clinched a playoff spot...right? if i lose next week, and hbc and buddiga win, there will be a three way tie. but i'd get in because i'm 4-0 against those two teams and have a points advantage on both of them...right?

    murton > cedeno???? come on, nsbb, we're better than that! cedeno has a higher average, a higher slugging %, and the same obp. throw in that cedeno's younger, plays a tougher position and has had more success at a higher level. sham!

    All this helps to balance out that Sheets is down for the year? :evil: i just want to make the playoffs. with sheets being out, i can use that as my excuse if i don't win. :D

    the hou/la game tonight has been huge for me. oswalt inexplicably pitched like [expletive], so that means no w, no qs and probably a loss for him. plus, it should mean no points from lidge. plus kent went deep. i should be up 40+ going into tomorrow...i have weaver and westbrook going, tootie has washburn.
  8. abuck1220
    hmm...i liked dubois for a near .400 obp a lot better than dubois for yankee leftovers. if dusty continues to insist on sitting murton, release hollandsworth. shut wood down while you're at it, please.
  9. abuck1220
    the cubs haven't done [expletive] all year w/ risp and two outs...but they figure it all out when vargas is one out from a QS....thanks, dicks. i hate the cubs.
  10. abuck1220
    great ab, barrett. thru three innings against a wild rookie making his first career start at wrigley, and the cubs have already swung at two 3-0 pitches. nice.

    I think we saw enough of Hill to know he wasn't ready and needed another pitch or two. 04/04 - 08/24 IP H R ER BB K HR PC BB/9 K/9 HR/9 WHIP ERA Rusch 106.7 126 54 50 43 87 10 1907 3.63 7.34 0.84 1.58 4.22 Hill 21.0 24 20 20 13 21 3 426 5.57 9.00 1.29 1.76 8.57 you must be very perceptive to know such things about hill based on 21 innings. by the way, hill has had three dominating starts since he was sent down. rusch's three starts since then have been...um...not dominating.
  12. abuck1220
    that is a really surprising lineup. baker is essentially saying he'd rather have nomar play out of position AND play cedeno than have nomar at his normal spot and macias at third. a pretty strong cedeno > macias statement, actually.
  13. abuck1220
    i agree...her chart clearly shows that hill > gallagher. :D better control, a lot more k's, just as hard to hit. plus he jumped two levels, negating any concerns that he was too old for his level. also, hill's last start (cg, 7 ip, 7 h, 1 er, 1 bb, 7 k's, w) is not included in her chart. so you win lovers should not that he has 11 wins even though he spent time w/ the big league club.
  14. abuck1220
    far, far, far from being true. you don't hit .400 for an extended period of time only hitting lefties. you've been listening to dusty's self-serving garbage too much. it's just like how people say pujols is going to win a gold glove just because larussa said it a bunch.
  15. abuck1220
    Please explain how what I put in bold can happen. :-k hill is just that good. fine, it was 4-2.
  16. abuck1220
    first CG of the season for the i-cubs, as hill finishes what he started. 7 ip, 7 h, 2 r, 1 er, 1 bb, 7 k stud! i-cubs win 4-1 (didn't realize that they had tacked on two more when i posted the score before). .
  17. abuck1220
    murton's homer gives the i-cubs a 2-1 lead going into the bottom of the 7th (they only play 7 because it's a DH). hill starts the seventh by giving up consecutive singles. then lewis catches a line drive for the first out, but throws it away at 1st...runners move up. 6 1/3 ip, 7 h, 1 er, 1 bb, 7 k's. 19/25 first pitch strikes for the nsbb minor league POY. :D

    iowa is playing a dh tonight...just in case that news from the zephyrs website wasn't enough for you, i heard it on kxno this afternoon.
  19. abuck1220
    rookies get to play when the team is competing for a playoff spot?
  20. abuck1220
    No love for Sing or Patterson? iowa bias. :D
  21. abuck1220
    great idea. right off the top of my head, i'd have to say it's between hill and cedeno. hill is 10-4 with 185 k's in 122 2/3 ip...era in the mid 3's. plus, when evaluating him against guys like pinto, you have to consider the fact that he jumped from AA to the big leagues this year while pinto is repeating AA. and i'm aware of the fact that hill was too old for AA when he started there, but now he's back on the proper age path. also, cedeno, in my opinion, has clearly had a better season than murton, who i'm sure a lot of people will vote for. same obp, higher avg, higher slg. plus he plays a position where his numbers are well above average, while murton plays a position where his numbers perhaps slightly above average.
  22. abuck1220
    i wouldn't lose any sleep over losing rohlicek, lewis, koronka or leicester.
  23. abuck1220
    those #'s don't count since the teams still don't have 'the book' out on him yet. oh, but when they do....!

    obviously mcclain is far from a prospect, but w/ murton back down, the cubs could do a lot worse (in fact, they have!) for a rh bat off the bench. if you are up against billy wagner in the 9th inning down by one, i'd take my chances w/ mcclain as opposed to blanco or a rh batting macias (though i'm sure macias would have made it into this hypothetical game much, much earlier than the 9th).
