    I remember watching him pitch at a Double-A game last year. He's a power arm, IIRC. Throws hard, upper 90's, but no real movement on the fastball. His numbers dson't exactly scream "pick me!" in terms of a callup though.

    Another editorial piece... http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/columns/story?id=5329769 A couple of these lines made me chuckle.

    That would be swell

    So whats that, 15 or 16 world Series titles for the Cubs under this plan? Touché... but the Cubs never sold high on anything, and if they did win the world series, there's no way they would get rid of the players that got them there. They'd probably give them all insane extensions that make them untradable. "The Cubs are trying to move Ryan Theriot, the 2010 World Series hero who singled in the series winning run, but are having trouble finding takers on the $75 million remaining on his contract"

    I can see that, but I bet the O's try and make a play for him. He was decent at managing young talent, and the O's are filled with young talent who are underachieving big time.

    What fans? How do you feel about winning, Jeffrey Loria? Cause last time I checked, you're a douche horn who likes to get rid of all your big contracts after winning the world series instead of, oh I don't know, keeping them around to increase your chances of another great season and potentially getting more fans to the stadium giving you a bit more revenue. It seems to me you like winning for one particular season, and then not winning for the next 7 or so.

    They traded Ross Wolf for him.

    My roommate went to South Africa for the World Cup. I know for a fact he's gonna bring one back. I threatened him that if he uses it like an [expletive] I'm breaking it over my knee

    Andy MacPhail acquired another failed former Cubs player? Shocking

    He probably gets laid a lot by women who frequent hot dog stands

    Also, touching back on when I was talking about the young talent in baseball this year... Tim Kurkjan just did an article on the subject. Decent read. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=kurkjian_tim&id=5297456

    ESPN did an interview with the guy who bought the Strasburg card... http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=5302177&categoryid=2521705 $16,403... wow

    The fact that this thread gets bumped with new information, articles, etc almost every day and they all point to how bad Lou is at managing baseball is really really disheartening. Someone pull the plug already

    Not sure if it's been posted, but go to google and type in "World Cup" and then scroll to the bottom where the "Goooooooooooooogle" usually is

    He was throwing his circle change early in the game at 92mph, which is ridiculous. I don't know if the gun for the Washington broadcast was fooled, but at one point he touched 103.

    If there was ever a game to loosen the reigns on his pitch count it was this one. Could've given him a chance at an MLB record that likely would've stuck for a long time, while at the same time giving the people who showed up an even better pitching performance the the one they actually got. It's already going to be remembered as one of the most dominating pitching debuts in history, but it could've been THE most dominating in history if they just loosened up and let him go to 110 just this one time. It was a special game, they should've made a special circumstance i'm pretty sure he didn't go past 90 pitches or 6 innings in any of his minor league stars, so just let him go for 110 in his major league debut? this is a terrible idea. You're right, I thought 100 was his cap in the minors as well, which is why I figured an extra 10 wouldn't hurt (obviously it wouldn't since that's what they upped it to for the majors). But an extra 20 is way too much. My mistake.

It was a special game, they should've made a special circumstance that's just absolutely ridiculous. And I won't argue with that opinion, because you're right it is kind of ridiculous, I just really wanted to see him pitch one more inning to see him break a record that has been standing since 1954. Why not give him that kind of opportunity while giving him just a little bit more wiggle room? It's not like once he reached 101 pitches his arm would've exploded. He still had 6 more pitches before his reported pitch count cap, and with the way he was pitching he probably would've needed 10-15 pitches to get through the next inning. He probably could've done it in less than 110
