And I know the Cubs are NOT going to be swept :D
-
Throw it at Neal Cotts instead. You'd make all Cub fans happy. :D
-
Arroyo was very good to me. I lead by 80 and we both have one start remaining.
-
I don't think you can, but if he clears waivers without being traded and gets released I think he could be re-signed. TERRIBLE move DFAing him and keeping Patton. -
Now how many games do you think the Cubs win this year?
NCCubFan replied to cubswin2009's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I said 92 to 97. I'm thinking closer to 92. -
I've tried Five Guys, and they're good. The juiciness reminds me of Wendy's years ago when they were billed as hot and juicy (juicy meats, juicy toppings, and lots of napkins). Char-broiled burgers are generally my favorite, but Five Guys is close.
-
The Cubs' ineptness today helped me, since I had Harang in my lineup.

O' Samardzija, Where Art Thou? Updated: Called Up.
NCCubFan replied to mikeyt34's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Unless the Cubs can trade Vizcaino for something of value they in effect gave Marquis away for nothing and are still paying part of his salary. Unacceptable. -
They should just have him serve the suspension and be done with it, give him two days rest, and hope he's at full strength by Saturday. The best case scenario is that the suspension would be reduced to one game on appeal (it won't be completely eliminated) and I'd rather have him sit two games when less than healthy anyway than one game when healthy.

For this year I'd go with Fielder. If this were a keeper league I'd probably go with Votto.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 4-22-2009
NCCubFan replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
It's probably a long shot, but as a biased Ball State alum I hope Snyder makes it to the majors with the Cubs. -

My guess is Patton. Vizcaino has been good so far this year. Maybe nobody will claim Patton on waivers and the Cubs can arrange a trade to allow them to keep him and send him down. -
I love the Angels' pitching tonight. -4 for Saunders and -18 for Shields. I lead by 13.5 points plus have a 6-3 remaining pitching start advantage.
-
Get rid of Gathright and bring up Fox. Gathright isn't getting any playing time because of Reed Johnson, and we need some RH power off the bench. Trade for Patton's rights. Send him down to the minors. Bring up Fox. Patton would have to clear waivers for that to happen.

similarities between the cubs this yr and the brewers in 08

Hendry Assessing Bullpen Options
NCCubFan replied to E.J.'s topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
If the lefty is a guy with not much of a split like Cotts, there isn't much of a difference. well true, but you think they'd want to upgrade with a solid lefty instead of replacing a crappy lefty with a meh righty. Meh is an upgrade from crappy. -
2008 Predictions Contest - Discussion & Updates
NCCubFan replied to Laura's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I got my box of crap today; thanks for sending it. -
No, he meant NPC. Not Pitching, Calfzilla. :D
-
An 8.5 point lead plus a 7-6 remaining pitching start advantage. That's what I like to see. My Pirate hitters (McLouth and LaRoche) were good to me.

http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/?p=3538 This has to be a week old, since Deeds was reinstated from the DL today.
-
BTW, the perfect Hacking Mass team at this point: C--Jason Kendall (15 ESPN) 1B--Big Papi (19) 2B--Alexi Casilla (16) 3B--Adrian Beltre (15) SS--Alexei Ramirez (21) LF--David Murphy or Carlos Guillen (14) CF--Jacoby Ellsbury (14) RF--Brian Giles (23) P--Chien-Ming Wang (60) and Brian Moehler (30) Total--227 The actual leader has 144. Wang is completely lapping the field. He has twice as many points as the next highest score at any position.
-
Tied for 17th with 90 ESPN. Five of my players are in double digits, led by my pitchers (19 for Suppan and 17 for Zito). My worst performer is Kearns with 0 points; I don't have any negative at the moment.
-
I have one of my minor leaguers playing in the majors (Schierholz). But with the playing time he's getting (or, rather, not getting) he should remain minor league eligible for quite some time (at his current pace, all year).
-
I just dropped Owings in one of my fantasy leagues. The Cubs are doomed.
-
Yeah, you definitely can't afford to have Volquez blow up like Wang. With that being said, Vasquez still needs to throw a gem. Your V--quez outpitched my V--quez, but not by nearly enough for you to overcome your deficit.
