    WTH? He hit it about 10 feet short of the warning track. In a park that has short dimensions to right.
  2. UMFan83
    Nah, thats about as far as Fuku can hit it :(

    Reed Johnson is up to around a .785 OPS against lefties (.649 against righties)

    Lilly's WHIP hovering around 2 today.

    Len reading NSBB?

    Yay, leadoff single. Ted Lilly's 'back to Earth' year is going well.

    Hey UMFan83.....Maybe I am slow, but I am trying to get your Edmonds line in your sig. Soribomb! Well after his catch in Houston, he made it up to 4% on my likability scale. But after his subsequent 0-10 performance the rest of the road trip, including a rally killing DP in Houston, he lost 58 points and now sports a -54
  10. UMFan83
    Yay

    We brought our offense with us? I thought they just packed up and headed back to Chicago after the 8th inning last night.

    ^Shouldn't the pirates be tired too? I think its a little less tiring when you win the night before.
  13. UMFan83
    I wish we had a legit number 2 starter
  14. UMFan83
    Horrible. This team needs to get the heads out of their butts. Where is Tom Gorzelanny when you need him?
  15. UMFan83
    He just kinda stood there

    Yay 7 home games due up after today. Time to win some more. I wish we didn't only play 20 home games in June and July. We're going to get our brains beat in with all those road games.
  18. UMFan83
    Can't win on the road?
  19. UMFan83
    So ummm the Cardinals are still planning on coming back down to Earth and playing like they are supposed to right?
  20. UMFan83
    Ugh....as much as I love Soto moving up to 5th, the fact that Fukudome is moving down in the lineup worries me a lot. His one great skill is OBP, and its being wasted. Hopefully its only a LH lineup
  21. UMFan83
    To the original poster, the Cubs are 29-19, not 29-18
  22. UMFan83
    A dramatization of him, yes

    Simple question. Would you rather have: A) A player who has a .900 OPS, but is extremely streaky. Two thirds of the season the season his OPS is around .600. The other third its around 1.200. B) A player who has an .850 OPS but is pretty consistent. Half the season his OPS is .800. The other half its around .900 How about for different extremes? (.900 OPS streaky vs. .825 OPS consistent, etc) Also, assume the players are completely equal in all other factors, play the same position, are the same age, and cost is not a factor. Edit: 5 points if you can guess who player A is :)

    Wait a minute. When Buerhle is on? It's easy to say that at his best a guy is better than somebody else is at their non-best. But come on here, Buerhle/Vazquez are not more solid than Zambrano/Lilly. Zambrano has been the most consistently good pitcher of that group, while the rest of the three have had their ups and downs. I think they are. I say when Buehrle is on because he tends to be inconsistent, but not on a start to start basis, but a half season to half season sort of basis (don't have the stats handy, but this is what I've noticed). I think bar none Vazquez is better than Lilly. So together, if Buehrle is throwing well, I would take them over Z and Lilly. You are right though, Zambrano is easily the most talented off the 4 pitches. Try and justify it all you want, but when you compare guys by using one pitcher's "on" stats vs another pitcher's average stats, it's completely bogus. It doesn't matter though. If created a fictitious world where Buehrle was "on" (for instance like first half '07), I would take him and Vazquez over Z and Lilly.

    IIRC, that was the big issue with Brand when he was drafted by the Bulls.
