If Dan Uggla was with the Cubs this year...
Derwood replied to flynnhicks03's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I saw a AA game last week in which no fewer than 6 players had more RBI than any Cub. -
The Moral Of The Story (A Post Today's Game Thread)
Derwood replied to Wheelimus's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I wouldn't say the Trib is 100% about the bottom line. If that was the case, I don't think we'd see a $95 million payroll. A pure money-making business would lower payroll until it started seeing negative consequences on attendance and merchandise sales. -
Is it Carrie Muskat? Maybe her awful voice carries over to her crap writing. who knows, but it's like a dentist's drill to my ear Funny.... the dentist's drill never hurt my ear !! the sound of a dentist's drill sends me up the wall. Second worse is the stat lady's voice

Does anyone else think that the woman who feeds the stat info to the Cubs booth has the worst voice ever?

zambrano throws 120 pitches a game. maddux throws like 62. i don't know what else to say

Bynum on deck! WHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEE!

You think any reporter will have the balls to ask Dusty why he didn't start Guzman instead of Rusch?

Wuertz

whereas last year he used him like 22 games in a row -
Wow, two guys at short? That is bad.

As many, many announcers have said on many, many Cubs broadcasts: "Kids don't make it to the majors by just hitting lefties in the minors"

the best rotation in baseball is on the Cubs DL
-
As I recall, Hough was a knuckleballer. Control is always an issue with guys like him. I don't recall if he was known as a "headhunter", or if he just had control issues. the point is that the "most feared pitcher in baseball history" didn't actually hit that many players
-
2 homers from Neifi and one each from Bynum, Mabry and Blanco cubs fans surrender

Bob Gibson ranks 56th all time in career hit batsmen behind other such notable headhunters like Charlie Hough (#5), Al Leiter (#32) and Kenny Rogers (#40)
-
Gibson hit 102 batters in 482 career starts, or 1 batter every 4.75 games. Kerry Wood has hit 80 batters in 174 career starts, or 1 batter ever 2.17 games. But Gibson is known as this headhunter while Kerry isn't. See? Stats are fun! If only Wood had 1/2 the pitching ability and control of a Gibson. Wood has lapses where he doesn't know where the ball is going. Stats don't tell the whole story. Or Tuffy Rhodes would be challenging Hank Aaron for the HR title. Um, no. Tuffy Rhodes is an example of sample size. The Wood comparison was just to prove that Gibson didn't have some outrageous number of HBP in his career. People talk about him like he was hitting 3 batters a game and then spitting on their unconcious faces. Many (most) of Wood's were due to poor control, but who is to say that all of Gibson's were on purpose?

at least this will jumpstart shelton's HR numbers again for those of you who picked him in HR Derby

Me too, but inevitably I open the thread and experience more pain than just that of knowing Fat Glen's still with us. And now the nominees for the "Weirdest of Defense of Suck" Award: - Defending Glendon Rusch in "Rusch Split" - Defending strikeouts in "Strikeouts" - Defending Dusty Baker in "That one dude's signature that says 'Keep up the Good Work Dusty' or something like that" Who is defending Glendon Rusch? I'm simply stating what's so about him as reflected by fact. I'm not saying that any of it means that he is a pitcher worth building around or something. :?: :shock: :?:
-
Yes! The 2006 Dugout Dice should have Neifi, Bynum, and Mabry. I meant the Usual Suspects poster. I didn't make the dice one
-
I'm pretty sure that any website with contributors that no anything would understand that KERRY WOOD HAS A FRIGGIN NO TRADE CLAUSE! How many times do we have to say it?
-
But seriously, I don't blame Tracey for what he didn't do. What happens if the pitch he uncorks at Blalock hits him in the face and ends his career? Now HIS career is ruined all because his manager is a prick who couldn't fight his own battles.
