    Have you read this somewhere or is this your opinion? I've seen every major league pitch he's thrown. It's my opinion. His fastball is weak and he has trouble locating it. His curveball is easy to sit on from the right side of the plate. In order for a fastball to be considered a plus pitch it doesn't have to be hard. Hill's never reaches more than 91 on the gun, but it doesn't move and he can't jam major league righties with it. so you've seen him throw, what, five innings? his fastball is faster than the 89 you mentioned previously, as well as the 91 you mention in this post. kearns' value has plummeted since the beginning of the season, while hill's has skyrocketed. no thanks. if anybody thinks kearns is the difference in making the playoffs, they're kidding themselves.

    where have you been? that's the cubs' philosophy on trading their players. see farnsworth, sosa, cruz, hawkins, etc.

    and for those of you who couldn't watch the game...his sac fly was pretty deep. probably would have been out in a different park. and though cedeno didn't have much of a night hitting-wise, he put together a pretty solid ab when he drew the walk. was down in the count, but fought off a bunch of tough pitches before taking ball four. of course if he wouldn't have gidp'ed in the 9th, murton would have gotten another ab. or dusty could have batted murton and cedeno ahead of crappy ass, cheating, sausage legged neifi perez...

    what do you know....guys under 33 can hit. should get the start once more this weekend against olsen.

    weak! if you'd have told me that hill was going to go eight, i would have guessed at least 16 k's. now give him one more start at iowa (so i can see him), and bring him up, pushing williams to the pen. :D
  6. abuck1220
    confirming my earlier suspicions, wuertz sucks big time. why not bring dempster in right now? is dusty saving him for when the cubs are four runs down like he did last night?
  7. abuck1220
    Only getting rid of Perez and Macias would do that. Please let Baker be fired. Jim has to know Dusty won't play Greenberg and Murton. I'm keeping an eye out for a press conference notice. Why do so many people on this site think Macias is the cause of our problems. No doubt he is weak, but he is the least of our problems. I would love for us to be debating over who gets the 25th spot, unfortunately, spots 6-24 are the problem. problem is, he's not the 25th man.

    Corey on being sent down: I believe that those two quotes shows you the difference in maturity level between Dubois and Patterson. Dubois is looking at it half-full, and WANTS to improve his game to get back to Chicago, whereas Corey Patterson is looking at it half-empty, and he prolly feels he doesn't "deserve" to be sent to AAA. I honestly believe Corey is in AAA for quite awhile, to be honest, or he won't be with the organization after the trade deadline. His attitude, right now, STINKS to high heavens. i believe it shows you the difference in how you want to perceive these two players. patterson's been in the bigs for years, and he's just been given a pretty embarrassing demotion. what do you expect out of the guy? i bet he didn't sign autographs outside afterwards either. someone call the trib. :roll:

    Ain't that the truth. Sigh. Nothing about them getting playing time. And considered bringing up Pie? Have they learned nothing from rushing Corey? it would have been great to see a once young, promising cf who was rushed to the minors sent down in exchange for another young, promising cf who was being rushed to the minors. good stuff.

    auction's over, by the way. djaxx is the winner!
  11. abuck1220
    The 6 are: Edmonds, Rolen, Eckstein (Starters), Pujols (DH), Carpenter, and Isringhausen.. Congrats to the All-Stars. I cant believe Eckstein is a starter of an ASG.. Lee shoulda been the leader at 1st.. So yeah.. I doubt Bernie would be lying but I'm still gonna watch to make sure it's correct. from that thread... i can understand taking pujols over lee. but THREE lees???
  12. abuck1220
    heh, perez finally gets on in front of lee, and he gets thrown out trying to steal. nice.
  13. abuck1220
    complaining about every tiniest thing is so out of character for larussa. i hope he's feeling all right.
  14. abuck1220
    i'm tempted to disqualify your bid since it wasn't in private message form, but i guess i'll let it stand. :D high bid is $10.
  15. abuck1220
    in honor of his homerun derby win, the next auction will be for a ryan harvey autograph. as always, pm me with bids. nsbb gets 100% of the proceeds...tim tells me when he gets the $, and i send the autograph. i never see the $. the money you pay for the autograph is for the autograph only...it does not go toward a premium membership. auction ends a week from today at 7 pm cst. opening the bidding at $1. http://img298.echo.cx/img298/7204/1000569aut7je.jpg

    there are a lot more far better ways to spend 9 mil.
  17. abuck1220
    but i thought that if corey said he wanted to hit leadoff, that meant he had a good attitude, and therefore he would be successful there. ? by the way, juan, i sent you a pm about a roster change...did you get it?

    i guess he's been keeping a journal for a magazine/website called at the yard. http://www.attheyard.com/PlayerJournals/article_637.shtml 5 burritos in a week is pretty good/disgusting.
  20. abuck1220
    sisco k's mora, tejada and palmeiro all in a row. :shock:
  21. abuck1220
    heh, the white sox scored their only two runs on bases loaded walks.
  22. abuck1220
    :shock:
  23. abuck1220
    and grudz leads off with a homer.
  24. abuck1220
    this thread would be a perfect place for me to mention that you can win an epatt autographed jersey card in the auction in baseball discussions...all proceeds go to nsbb!
