    Probably Prior on Sunday. i'm just going by what Len and Bob said last night, as they said the decision on Prior wouldn't be made until after his side session on Friday The paper said his side session is Thursday, and they would make the decision on Friday, but that barring any setbacks, that he would pitch on Sunday. We'll just have to both say we're right. :) Ideally his side session would be great, and they'd go Marmol/Marshall/Prior, but we all know that won't happen. Gotta get Rusch his numbers

    Why the 2000 word defense essays on a guy who blows goats? So what if he was good for x% of his tenure as a cub? He sucks now, his presence on the team is an insult to baseball fans, he is stealing every penny of his paycheck....I just don't get why we need a 4 page thread of heated debate about this.

    Oswalt is better against lefties, so I put in Neifi, who switch hits, but batted lefty, even though he could've batted righty and had a statistical advantage.

    The team we are supposedly emulating: Thome - .281/.415 - 134 Dye - .301/.397 - 96 Podsednik - .247/.343 - 96 Konerko - .304/.381 - 77 Iguchi - .286/.336 - 50 Pierzynski - .320/.367 - 47 Crede - .289/.326 - 37

    Rusch/Marmol/Marshall for the series against Detroit. Just the way you thought the rotation would be back in March, right?

    An extra arm rotting in the pen vs. an extra rookie rotting on the bench. Discuss.

    what have you done for me lately? Greg Maddux won 4 straight Cy Youngs, that doesn't change his near 5.00 ERA this year.

    small sample size of course, but Lee's OBP was 130 points above his BaAvg.
  10. Derwood
    Soccer teams are the only teams that score less per game than the Cubs
  11. Derwood
    It may be a proper differential but Ramirez still has a crappy OBP. I find no silver lining with anyone who has a .314 OBP. By the way, it seems Murton's OBP is dropping rather rapidly. right, but when compared to his backup.... And Cedeno's average sure is lessened by that OBP, wow
  12. Derwood
    With WGN listing OBP in their batter stat lines, I've noticed that the standard difference betweeen the two (for normal, non-Cub hitters) is about 70 to 80 points. In other words, a .290 hitter usually has a .360-.370 OBP. Obviously some players (Dunn) have a much larger difference, but it seems that even marginal hitters (Ausmus, for example) have that 60-70 point difference. Now let's look at the Cubs: Walker: .290/.367 - 77 Murton: .274/.345 - 71 Barrett: .298/.365 - 67 Ramirez: .248/.314 - 66 Pierre: .241/.284 - 43 Jones: .291/.327 - 36 Cedeno: .300/.326 - 26 Perez: .214/.230 - 16 Only 4 players fall into that range. FOUR. At least you can say that A-Ram, despite a crappy average, is maintaining the proper OBP differential.

    See, dude, walks are overrated. Don't need now .OBP nonsense

    Carolina just played the last minute of regulation like they didn't know how much time was left
  15. Derwood
    It's really to drive us all crazy. It makes me so mad I want to break things. Dude, Neifi had good numbers against Oswalt. You gotta go by the book
  16. Derwood
    But Neifi will start. at third, for A-Ram
  17. Derwood
    That would be me. It was really pretty easy to figure out. You gotta take your best hitter out two days in a row after a three game winning streak. Director shows Walker in the dugout just to put a fine point on it

    ANNOUNCER: Now, pinch-hitting for Ryan Dempster, Todd W-....(muffled) huh? You're s##*in' me, right? (aloud) John Mabry!

    must've been a mix up with the new Motorola wireless command center

    i see Jacque striking out on a ball bounced in the dirt 4 feet inside
  21. Derwood
    they gave him a hit on that
  22. Derwood
    One of the best SS in the game my butt! Go COBS!
  23. Derwood
    damn, he's not nearly as lit as you'd hoped he'd be
  24. Derwood
    Well the good news is that Murton can't possibly ground into a DP in his next AB
  25. Derwood
    Let's go Jacque
