  1. What does his age matter? He's on a 1 year deal.
  2. Tom's just the chairman of the Cubs. The family owns the team.
  3. Why? HR calls are so stupid. An A-Bomb! From A-Rod! SEE YA!!! Yea, Len's lack of a homerun call is not a problem at all. I prefer when he screwed up and said An A-Bomb! From Hideki!! He probably meant for Hideki
  4. Hopefully this means more guys start deciding soon. Hamilton, I'm looking at you. And hopefully that leads to not taking anyone from the terrible '12 class.
  5. I'd say his future in the pen had a lot more to do with his injuries in '09 than any projections going forward.
  6. And Kimbrel's minor league #s would be considered "phenomenal" Why was Walden always going to be a reliever?
  7. i don't understand this. if you were to go back 5 or 10 years from now and rank current cub prospects by major league WAR (to evaluate which guys were most successful), there's a strong chance that at least one or two of the top 20 is currently pitching in relief in the minor leagues. Marmol and Marshall weren't relief prospects. If you choose to highly value peak/ceiling, there's nothing wrong with avoiding relief prospects.
  8. We should claim a conspiracy against us too Gm# Date Opponent Score Starter Opp Starter ..3 Sun 04/03/11 Pittsburgh 4- 5 Garza Ohlendorf .18 Wed 04/20/11 San Diego N 4- 5 Russell Harang .11 Sat 04/17/10 Houston 3- 4 Gorzelanny Oswalt .31 Sun 05/10/09 @ Milwaukee 4- 2 Marshall Suppan .60 Sun 06/14/09 Minnesota 3- 2 Lilly Baker .23 Fri 04/25/08 @ Washington N 3- 5 Dempster Perez .44 Sun 05/18/08 Pittsburgh 4- 3 Marquis Dumatrait 111 Sat 08/02/08 Pittsburgh 5- 1 Lilly Maholm 156 Tue 09/23/08 @ New York N 2- 6 Marshall Santana 4-5 over a 5 year span..... I don't think that dog'll hunt. What does plausibility have to do with a good conspiracy?
  9. We should claim a conspiracy against us too
  10. Yep, doesn't matter that it's the 6th, Koyie's unlikely to have a higher leveraged AB than that one.
  11. Is there any question who will be the Cubs pity All Star, Castro's no pity all-star.
  12. And he fouled off like 4 or 5 pitches with 2 strikes.
  13. And I checked, there are like 4 posts per Thursday night game last year.
  14. You probably wouldn't have cared for the original word I used.
  15. He just had one last night. Still love Len.
  16. You just described 98% of this board Ok.
  17. I don't think the type of meatheads that care about the Bengals/49ers week 7 game are the people watching Thursday Night NBC
  18. Why not? Once you get the free stadium, why would you continue to pretend to try? Well, it's worked wonders for Philly. The Pittsburgh model is to wait 2-3 years before stopping to pretend. Did you dictate this post to hardcore? Is it that incomprehensible? Philly pretended to try when the stadium was coming and that actually led to being really good for a long time. Pittsburgh pretended for a couple years then dumped everybody. I wouldn't call what Philly was doing, "pretending to try." More along the lines of "Having Ed Wade as a GM"
  19. Not good news for NBC Thursday night comedies. As long as the games are on NFL Network, rather than NBC, I don't care. I DVR them, and one game between 2 mediocre teams certainly won't be appointment television.
  20. Why not? Once you get the free stadium, why would you continue to pretend to try? Well, it's worked wonders for Philly. The Pittsburgh model is to wait 2-3 years before stopping to pretend. Did you dictate this post to hardcore?
  21. Why not? Once you get the free stadium, why would you continue to pretend to try?
  22. How do you integrate the grandstand into the triangle building?
