    Lou is an idiot. Several expletives can be thrown in as adjectives describing idiot. F. I hate managers and their "wisdom".
  2. Eric Clipperton
    I love how Ted Lilly somehow made it into this "top 5 lefties" ranking by Boras.
  3. Eric Clipperton
    Man that is a pretty weak lineup...although AUGIE OJEDA is probably due for a 3 HR game against the Cubs. I also have no idea who Roberts is.
  4. Eric Clipperton
    Oh man Coleman is becoming my new mancrush this year...11 GO is beautiful, seems like he conserves pitches very well also which the Cubs definitely need with the current group which seems to love wasting pitches and nibbling.
  5. Eric Clipperton
    Not to mention that DeRosa was not really good until 3 years ago or so, making his career numbers look pretty weak. If Ramirez gets hurt, we will put in a worse player. This is inevitable. We can't put in some top backup, or trade for someone really even decent without killing our already decimated farm. Gotta roll with what you have at some point, no knee-jerk BS moves in response to short-term injuries. See bringing up the Shark already as example of this sort of move in response to beginning of season bullpen weakness.

    Or we could just bring up Scales for a few games, and not trade for any terrible stopgaps.
  7. Eric Clipperton
    That was awesome. While not quite as cool looking as the Nationals wall-dive catch last year, definitely more important. Finally Lou didn't blow a substitution.

    Another XBH for Theriot!!
  9. Eric Clipperton
    Suppan is incredibly awful. I hope he sticks around all season in the Brewers' rotation...
  10. Eric Clipperton
    Also, gotta love Theriot being called "extremely fast" by Miller.
  11. Eric Clipperton
    Eh, not too worried about that injury.
  12. Eric Clipperton
    This OPS invention is groundbreaking!
  13. Eric Clipperton
    Dempster on his usual 20 pitches per inning pace. Definitely the major problem with our staff, if we could just get one starter who conserves pitches it would be great.
  14. Eric Clipperton
    well, that made up for the previous play by Fontenot
  15. Eric Clipperton
    This broadcast makes me extremely glad to be going to next sunday's game...wow the ESPN sunday night crew destroys my intelligence with every sentence. Seems like we messed up the Fielder shift there...
  16. Eric Clipperton
    Did Kosuke actually swing there? I never saw the side view.
  17. Eric Clipperton
    Wait, so the Top 100 doesn't include the SOS adjustment? I just noticed Rickie Weeks played for SOUTHERN, and it doesn't look like the SOS is included? Or is it included in the EqA but just displayed off to the right side, Weeks played for a way way worse team than most of the other top guys. HBCU baseball, ha.
  18. Eric Clipperton
    Wow, Tyler Colvin has always been terrible.
  19. Eric Clipperton
    He was hitting 91 against the Netherlands. I think some of the reactions are a bit overboard; he looked pretty good but nothing that would cause the Cubs to regret not signing him, at least not without a lot more outings like this one. Without his name, no one would have noticed. I mean Sidney Ponson was also dominant in this game... Also I am enjoying watching the WBC way too much (and betting on it)

    Yeah, it's funny how ERA+ is thrown around as an "advanced" stat just because it's normalized. Garland regression will be fun, especially as Steve Phillips and John Kruk wonder what happened to such a wonderful pitcher. This would be a good time to remind everyone that Kruk's BALL+ rating is 50.
  21. Eric Clipperton
    Actually, Lou IS stupid. Or at least he manages the team like he is. LEFTIES VETERANS VERSATILITY To Lou, these three qualities serve as Viagra fueling his old, wrinkly, managerial boner.
  22. Eric Clipperton
    Marshall is absolutely better than Garland. Hell, I'd bring up Atkins over signing Garland, if somehow we had to add a non-Marshall/Gaudin/Shark #5 SP. Garland = ticking time-bomb that will soon blow a 6.00+ ERA all over your face, but hey at least he EATS INNINGS. Yum. Tasty, run-filled innings of "ground-ball" pitching.
  23. Eric Clipperton
    I agree. The "injury prone" rep of Sheets is way, way, overstated. Yeah, he is injury prone, but it's nothing like Harden. I'd rather have Sheets get hurt on a deal which takes his injury history into account than Peavy come to the Cubs (esp if we have to pick up that fat 22M option...) and proceed to get the injury we all know he just might get. Peavy is far, far, away from "safe" on the Injury Prone Meter. ' If Mike Hampton was actually good, and not just injury prone, then imb's comparison might be valid. I like the spirit though. Anyhow I doubt we get Sheets, Adam Dunn would be less surprising which is saying something at this point...
  24. Eric Clipperton
    I'd rather fist tubgirl than trade for Young. If Young's contract were 5M/year instead of whatever massive amount it actually is, I'd take him...but wouldn't trade anything for him. Pretty sure he's always been below-average at SS, and it's only going to get worse from here on out.
  25. Eric Clipperton
    I don't know, between this thread and the Cubs' offseason so far, which is worse? Aaron Miles, or arguing the definition of freak injury? A freak injury to Aaron Miles, while not a likely option, is clearly the best thing that could ever happen to this thread and the offseason at the same time.
