Maddux to the Dodgers
RedFlash replied to David's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Maddux should have hung it up a few years ago, but at least he got to 350 clean. Maybe, but he's been atleast a decent backend of the rotation guy for the last few yrs. And I wondering if Maddux is trying to go for 400 wins as a starter. Go to a team with a very good offense, and pitch at least 3 more yrs (4 tops)---Dodger stadium would be a good place for him to try and reach 400 wins---and give it a shot. Seeing a "clean" pitcher shot for 400 wins, would be better then watching a "alledgely" juiced OF go for 715. -
Too bad the stupid WWE had the Cub fan and current "World Heavyweight Champ" and Chicago native CM Punk lose the main event. I would have fought the WWE---if I was CM Punk---aout jobbing in my hometown......but all welll.......

8/18 other games (a.k.a Astros vs. Brewers)
RedFlash replied to C.C.'s topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Since being acquired by the Brewers all but one of his starts he has gone over the 100 pitch mark, and the one game he went 97 pitches. In contrast, all but 2 starts for Rich Harden has been under 100 pitches. Which tells me that the Cubs are not allowing Harden to waste pitches now, and plan on using him longer in games later in the yr, ie October. As for the Brewers, I think we all agree is using CC and Sheets to save his job. He knows if the Brewers don't make the playoffs, he's gone. 18 starts with the Indians and he threw 1938 (estimated) or on average of 107 pitches per game. In 8 starts with the Brewers he has thrown 1015 pitches on average of 126 pitches per start. If I am Brewer fan, I would be worried about a fade in September for the big man. I really would. Put this in perspective....on his current pace, he would throw 115 more pitches then he did in 2007. Throw more 761 more pitches in 08 then 06. 544 more pitches then 05. Etc, etc...In other words...each yr he has thrown more pitches then the yr before. Eventually that will catch up with a pitcher. I'm hoping CC stays healthy, but with Yost as a manager, I could see CC flame out in September. His stats say CC will dominate in September, but his manager usage suggest, CC will prolly struggle in a couple of "key starts" in a little. -
Maddux to the Dodgers

Does this mean Penny won't help at all for the rest of the year? -
With Boldin' renewing his trade demand, I would love for Bears to make a move for him.

The ones voting for the Cy Young award believe in W/L as a key stat, equal if not greater in value to ERA and Ks. Those people are idiots, and should have their votes taken away.

Dunn to the Dbacks
RedFlash replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Man I can't wait for the day until Adam Dunn retired from baseball. This back and forth on Dunn is at a stalemate that won't be resolved anytime soon. Simple truth: Dunn is a great offensive weapon, poor defensively. He's the definition of a DH......... -
Maybe so, but I think Tabata will be a really good player, once he put it together.
-
I understand Webb and a cetain degree Lincecum are the favorites to win the award, but why is Dempster is being shut for putting up comparably numbers? We all know that the W/L record for a pitcher is pretty much useless due to several factors (and I hate the fact that voters use a useless stat in their process to award the Cy Young award), but you don't hear anything about Dempster in the mix of the Cy Young, and I think that is a disservice to Ryan.
-
If Lovie was going to name Kyle Orton the starter for Opening Night, then why the heck they did pass on getting a QB with actual talent in the dang draft? :banghead: I hate this organizaton when it comes to being stubbornly (

When should Cubs think about docking D-Lee's playing time?
RedFlash replied to badnews's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I like to see Gerald Perry and Lee tinker with Lee's batting stance. They need to find a way to get Lee to extend his arms. -
I think so. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/pitching?sort=ERA&split=0&league=nl&season=2008&seasonType=2&type=reg&ageMin=17&ageMax=51&hand=a&pos=all&minip=0 I know Brandon Webb, Jacob Peavy, Tim Lincecum are the front runners for the Cy Young Award, and rightfully so are getting the pub. But looking at the numbers, Ryan Dempsters' numbers are comparably to those that are deemed the frontrunners (and I don't mean Philly fans) for the award. So why no love for Dempster? Discuss...
-
3-homer game in the Lieber start a few months ago. Him and every other Red. Of current and yesteryear. I think Johnny Bench just homered again. Followed by another Bret Boone homerun.
-
Hasn't Joey Votto done extremely well against the Cubs?
-
With a beer and a cigar..........perhaps?

This quote sort of stood out to me. What do we make of this, I wonder? I find that kind of unnerving, actually. But at the same time, probably just a bit of puffing by DeRosa. I think DeRosa is trying to act as Dempster's agent here. This is a subtle reminder from the players (ie from DeRosa) to the front office as to how important Ryan Dempster is to the clubhouse. I think the first two order of business this offseason (after the sell becomes final) will be locking up both Dempster and Wood, before they look at free agents.

=D> Cubs

So........a typical Cub game.
-
I wouldn't be opposed to that plan.
-
IDK if it's been mention but: righties who can fake over to third and then whirl around to first (don't even have to throw the ball) and not be call a balk, yet when a lefty tries to do the same thing, it's call a ball......

FYI: Geovany Soto is the COUSIN of former Cub MI Ramon Martinez.............

God hate them too, that why he put them in Milwaukee.
