Randy Hundley is awful. Moreland's pretty good.
-
I was there. Could hear a pin drop, nobody cared at all. It was embarrassing.
-
Adrian Dantley does not communicate well at all.

I never thought either of them were good enough to win the west. It's a shame Utah is minus Okur and Kirilenko. I think that team at full strength would get it done.

I'd still rather have a AAA bound Samardzija in there in the 9th over Marmol
-
This was supposed to be an argument in favor of keeping Marmol in there?? Lou doesn't use any pitcher besides Marmol and Marshall (and soon Z) unless we're down by 3. Are you really worried that Jeff Gray would be too gassed to come in to some important spot because he was used with a 7 run lead? He's not pitching after the 5th inning anyway. With Lilly being activated, someone, probably between Berg, Samardjzjia, and Gray is going to Iowa. This would have been a good time to give one of them a chance to prove himself. Wait, are you saying that that in any way putting out the guy they know will go back down would have been a good idea? Guh? Would've kept the major league bullpen fresh.

The excuse will be that nobody was ready to go and the inning ended so quickly after Colvin's HR. WHAT IS THE [expletive] HARM IN GETTING GRAY WARMED UP IN CASE WE SCORE A RUN CAUSE GOD KNOWS HE COULDN'T POSSIBLY HOLD THE 5 RUN LEAD IN 1 INNING, BUT 6 OR 7 LOU???
-
I probably would've put the over over/under on Colvin HRs this year at 2. Who wants to bet Marmol finishes the game?

Sure it is, it's part of the reason Boston has been as bad as the Cubs so far w/higher expectations (of course, Boston won't put Beckett in the pen). I guess we might be talking about different things. Obviously, you can call it feast or famine based on what's happened, I was talking going forward. I don't think you can glean anything from 16 games when it comes to deviation of an offense. For this team, it is easy to say that it is feast or famine. This is the same team that was mostly famine last year. When you have a guy like Soriano who either goes 3 for 4 with a homerun and 3 rbi's, or 0 for 4 with 3 K's, it's easy to be feast or famine. Not to mention the fact that this team is littered with players that are either slow starters or slow finishers. This is one of the worst constructed rosters I have ever seen. I feel like everyone thinks their team is the most inconsistent because it's what they see every day. The Cubs scored 4+ more often than the Cardinals did. And the Cardinals scored more runs/game than we did. Even the Phillies with their dominant offense had more than 1/3 of their games with 3 runs or less scored. It's baseball.

Mizzou beats Illinois for the first time in 34 years, and they get reallll lippy
-
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
I can't stop laughing at this.
-
The rules were different back then and it's not fair to compare. If those guys were playing now, they probably wouldn't have the chance to take LeBron out because they'd miss at least 2/3 of the games every year due to suspension. On trial for murder too
-
Joakim Noah's gonna give him the meanest look as he celebrates winning in 5.
-
Too far.
-
It's the burden of still having our souls
-
They said last night he won't be available til Saturday.
-
I wonder if Cavs fans are laughing as much as I am at the descriptions of Jordan in this thread.
-
??? He started against Perez and got a PH at bat last night. And he sucks

That's outstanding. I guess I don't know anything about the culture of the locker rooms, but I'm surprised he was allowed to just stroll in there to stir the [expletive]. Who was going to stop MJ from doing anything in his own bulding? David Stern. But only for a year and 3/4 ETA: I guess Nick Anderson for that last 1/4
-
Is 16 games really enough to call an offense feast or famine? Boston's scored 3 or less runs in half their games too.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 4-22-10
SouthSideRyan replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Super 2 isn't a set date, it's the top 1/6 of 2 year players service time wise. It seems to be getting later and later.
