R.I.P. Felix Pie's Career (2001-April 20, 2008)
Garage Party replied to KingCubsFan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I don't care who produces, as long as there's production. It's not "bittersweet" for Reed Johnson to do well. It's good. Tell me this: do some of you guys want Reed Johnson to fail in each at-bat? -
or throw Steve Stone.

R.I.P. Felix Pie's Career (2001-April 20, 2008)
Garage Party replied to KingCubsFan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
The Cubs take first place and we're complaining about Felix Pie's playing time. NSBB Fever: catch it! -
Well that's trouble. We can still get five runs on the bad Cincinnati bullpen, though, I'm sure.
-
Guess Lilly is still messed up.
-
Quick outs! Like!
-
You can't walk across home plate, dude.
-
Lilly should lean into one here.

No hawkisms please Dadgum it.

4/16 Dusty Baker's Reds (Fogg) @ Cubs (Z!) 7:05 CSN
Garage Party replied to ctcf's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Good Cub baserunning! I love it. And yeah, Pat and Ron are ON tonight. Ron is sharing long and lucid thoughts; it's really great. -
Okay, Eric Patterson. Win me over.

Has anyone else started to soften up to the DH?
Garage Party replied to inari's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
It was pretty clever for Earl Weaver to make Steve Stone his designated hitter and then put in a pinch-hitter so that in case the pitcher was replaced, he could get the right matchup. Well, maybe not "clever," since it was kind of contrived and rarely came to fruition, but it was certainly a neat little Oriole novelty. -

Okay, correct me. If a player outperforms his capability, it's far more likely he'll return to his average than suddenly become terrible to even it out. And seriously, it's three starts. Well, this is an unlikely parade of crap, then. I don't care if it's only been three starts. If you're the #2 pitcher for a presumed division champion, it's unacceptable to fail to complete five innings in three successive starts. At least that's what I think. I might be wrong. Maybe if he failed to complete six innings, that'd be one thing, but to not yet escape the fifth?
-
Okay, correct me.

I like reading Fire Joe Morgan too, guys.

What are you talking about? He's a .500 pitcher. He had an outstanding year last year, now he's making up for it with terrible play. you're right, looking at win-loss is THE BEST way to judge where a pitcher ranks on a range from best-average-worst scale. you got it solved. Maybe I should have said "average" pitcher. I'm talking about the quality of his pitching, which was way better than usual last year, and is now much worse.
-
How does it work that we play the Mets twice at home and four times at Shea?

This is regression to the mean, folks. I hate this stupid touch of grey commercial. Baby-boomers posing with red plastic cups is pretty much the worst thing ever.
-
Out of curiosity...what exactly has Theriot proven to all of us so far? That he's an average player, but unacceptable for a team that's supposed to win the National League?
-
I don't think either one is very good at all, but I'm ready for Cedeno to prove me wrong. Let's put it that way.
-
your so funny but he would have made that play I swear to God, I do not understand the love for Cedeno. Just go with the flow here.

That's Cub fielding right there.
