-
no way pierre throws him out, that error is a bad call
-
Story of the year. I'm not as classy as lee. that was truly a "too high" hit (lee's fly ball, not his high stick)
-
why did Lee hit Pierre in the groin?
-
there was an element of luck in that hard fastball bounces off of ramirez's outstretched glove, right to cedeno fastball=linedrive, oops
-

-

-
wow. haven't seen taht in some time

You have every right to boo. But booing a highly emotional player who's just signed a five year contract is beyond stupid. Go ahead and boo if it makes you feel better about yourself. But telling yourself it's doing anything to help the situation is a mistake, IMO. I love your selective quoting, literally removing my quote from context. I did not and would not have booed zambrano. that doesn't make the post I was responding to less stupid.
-
Wait, so you're saying that booing somebody is bullying them? That makes no sense. I'd like to know how you're supposed to show your displeasure aside from booing. Create signs insulting his performance while you're at the game? Throw moltov cocktails?

fick·le (fĭk'əl) pronunciation adj. Characterized by erratic changeableness or instability, especially with regard to affections or attachments; capricious. yep, NSBB falls under this. No he's not fine. If he had a couple of bad outings in a row that might not be a cause for concern. But this has been going on over a month now, both before and after the extension. Things are not fine when your "ace" stinks the first two months of the season and then disappears again during the heat of a pennant race. This is two things: A. A Lie. B. Irrelevant. With respect to A, Zambrano's struggles have actually been going on for less than one calendar month. If I were you, I'd say "wrong" and leave it at that. I'm not. He's given up 7,6,4,5,8 runs in the last 31 days. In only one of those games has he had a WHIP under 1.9 or so. He's had full and terrible month.

Surely you didn't think we traded for Monroe for him to not hit before Murton?

Does anyone else think Marmol should be a starter in 2008?
Careless replied to badnews's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Yeah, I was leaning more towards that besides him only having two pitches. He's got a lot of "violence" going on like the other Carlos, but that Carlos is a freak of nature health-wise. Z is 6-5, 255 and is as strong as an ox. Z also throws with a (relatively) conventional wind-up, especially when compared to Marmol. Marmol is comparatively a twig, and twigs snap easily. There is absolutely, positively no way that Marmol's elbow would hold up for 100 pitches every 5th day and 220 innings for a season. That really has nothing to do with pitching. Pitchers come in all shapes and sizes. If you think the reason why he would break down because of his size then thats not correct. Take a look at Juan Cruz, Ervin Santana, and Jack McDowell. Those pitchers could be described as "twigs", but their weight has nothing to do with them suffering an injury. Learning the difference between "anecdote" and "data" would do you a world of good in analyzing baseball and many other things in life. that is to say that we could put marmol out there as a starter and he could be so good that they retire numbers after he quits and all players thereafter are a-z. That wouldn't make it a good decision if there was a tiny chance of him not immediately blowing out his arm. -

8/31 Cubs (Marshall) V. Astros (WANDY) 1:20CT WGN
Careless replied to Roast's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
he clearly thought that kendall was catching -
I take back what I said, he can't throw anywhere
-
OH good, we found a throw kendall can make
-
If you, a representative off a rival team (particularly in a playoff race) go on the home team's PA and suggest people root for the rival team, you should expect to be booed. Bob certainly did. He's made a habit of provoking the Cubs fans at wrigley. Can't blame him, either, after hearing all the cubs fans in milwaukee
-
Usually I feel bad when a team in a playoff race has an important player get injured.
-
you're going to judge him on one night? every pitcher has a bad night. does webb suck because the padres scored 5 off of him last night? he must not be the diamondback's best pitcher by your logic. Zambrano hasn't been the best pitcher on the Cubs this season. Hill and Lilly have been better. This isn't entirely true. Hill and Lilly have been more effective on the mound. I wouldn't say they've both have been better pitchers. So Zambrano has been less effective, yet better? I think we're going to need another longwinded rambling paragraph out of you to explain this one. I believe he's saying that how much better of a hitter Zambrano is over Hill and Lilly make up for him being a slightly worse of a pitcher this year. Zambrano is not that good of a hitter. I don't think so either. Just offering a guess as to what he was trying to say. The difference between "effective" and "good results" is luck. Two guys with equally good (identical) stuff/fields/fielders go out there, one guy will have a better game. He was more effective, but it's not because he's a better pitcher But maybe I'm misinterpreting the non-spork lord
-
If you made manny 3(? was that the season?) years younger and wound back his contract and put him on waivers again, he'd be grabbed.
-
I'm going to guess (without knowing much about you or the other people in question) that the people who are upset by this subject themselves to a lot more of the national sports media than you do.
