If hes the answer, whats the question? How Taguchi is he? pffffft.....haaaaaaaaaahaha

Did Riot just hit his 7th HR or his 8th? I'd take 2008 1 HR Theriot over 2009 7+ HR Theriot You mean the guy who batted 300-something and didn't K much? Yea, me too. He basically has the same OPS this season as he did last season. Actually, it's a couple points higher this season. slg at the expense of obp

:-)) :-))

guys i heard they award division titles based on pythag record now is this true?

i didnt know people were allowed to be this dumb

We can't blame him for the Cubs not performing in the playoffs. That's not what he's saying. He's saying it's silly to congratulate Hendyr for winning the division in 07, when really it was only because the Cubs played in an awful division. Jim built a roster that beat the competition and won the division -- that's his job. Wasn't the next highest payroll in the divison 30-40 mil back? try $9 over the cards and $12 over the astros http://www.deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,660208436,00.html

thank you

yo, can we get a mark derosa forum?

are you including the last 3-4 years in this "6 years of drafting", because that would be ridiculous and hilarious.

i wish this guy would post every 30 seconds instead of wsr

because making a trade for the sake of appearing to do something always works so well

how do you use it correctly? Marshalls the only guy who can really be trusted. Lou wont even consider taking Marmol out of the 8th inning role. Heilmans crap.I dont know what to make of Hart or Ascanio yet, and Patton may as well not exist. Just send him back to Colordo or Cincinatti or whoever has his rights and audition a few Iowa guys and if that doesnt work out, make a trade. You are right that Lou doesnt know how to use the pen, but he really doesnt have much to work with. Guzman should be the set up man until Marmol figures it out. Heilman isnt crap, he's basically George Sherrill. If Lou knew how to handle Marshall we wouldnt need to use 5 relievers a game.

the problem isnt the bullpen, the problem is lou's inability to use it correctly.

im going to punch the next person who says the bullpen is our biggest problem in the groin

Really? Carpenter is far better than any pitcher on the Cubs Wainwright is as good as any pitcher on the Cubs Pineiro isn't as good, but is pitched as well as any pitcher on the Cubs Lohse is hurt, but he's a a solid 3rd, good 4th starter Wainwright would have the 4th best ERA on the Cubs. Carpenter would have the best ERA, but he's pitched a grand total of 65 innings. ow has Piniero pitched as well as any starter on the Cubs? Lshe is hurt? Go back to St. Louis. Carpenter's resume is solidified. Nobody on your staff is even close Wainwright over the last 3 seasons has been as good as any Cub starter, and this year he'd be second in VORP on the Cubs behind Lilly, who he is a much better pitcher than. Lilly is basically Kyle Lohse with a few more Ks, but more walks. I didn't say Pineiro was a good pitcher, but he's having a very good season. You worry about Ks, I worry about HRs and BBs. And he's given up 12 walks in 92 innings. That's great. And he's given up 2 home runs. It wont last, but that's not what I argued. Carp >>>>>>>> Zambrano Wainwright > Harden (Should he even count? He doesn't even pitch and when he does, he's awful). Lilly = Lohse Dempster > Pineiro, but that's not saying much Randy Wells? Marshall vs. Brad Thompson. Whatever, they all suck. Go to sleep. youre ridiculous. please leave. Harden doesnt count, but Carpenter is >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Zambrano. right.

why is marshall not in

you cant throw to first base if the fielder is not covering the bag
