  1. Great game by Maddux today. Too bad the offense couldn't bail him out. We could fall into 5th place tonight right?
  2. Cubs at 7 games below .500 for the first time since 2002
  3. I think the only person that can compete with Murton for POY is Eric Patterson. As has been stated many times, the league Patterson is in compares to the NCAA league he played in with Georgia Tech. He had a tremendous year, but Murton's year relative to the league he has paid in gives him my vote.
  4. ^^ How can he give up only 1 run but have 2 earned runs?
  5. Lawton started in Right and hit 8th for the Yankees. He walked in his first AB. BTW, how low does everyone think Corey can get his average before the end of the season??
  6. The Reds are licking their chops for a shot at 4th place tonight
  7. This move is probably like the Greenberg move in July. He is probably getting rewarded for a good season at AAA. Don't worry, the youngins will be up in 5 days.
  8. I like the fact that they are going to get rid of some useless vets and try to get the rooks some playing time, but Dubois for Yankees PTBNL....I don't like that one bit. At least Jim Hendry can still use Dubois as one of the farm products the Cubs have produced
  9. You're not going to have much range with a bad back and groin. For errors, range is usually not the issue. It's what you do with the ball after you are in position to receive it that is the problem.
  10. Yeah i mean Lawton he just has no eye at the plate whatsoever. This is a bogus criticism. Is he supposed to be perfect. Whatta joke. Well no, obviously even the best players make mistakes all the time. Obviously a good hitter will do the right thing only 30% of the time.
  11. http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=gillette_gary&id=2143044 Wow, he actually goes in and finds each fundamental error the Braves and Cubs (mostly Cubs) make. Sorry, insider only, but worth the read. Here's an exerpt:
  12. Fred, can you give us Nomar's career numbers at 3B? ;)
  13. He is? I guess I haven't seen that. He's been an OF this year because that's where our biggest need for him has been, not second base. I don't understand where you're going with that or why you're complaining that he's been used in our awful outfield. Before he was moved to OF everyone was wondering if he could play OF because he was out of place. Now it seems like that's the only spot Dusty will play him...
  14. Has anyone actually seen Todd Walker's splits against Lefties? Because he is doing MUCH MUCH better against Lefties... http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/splits?playerId=3539 .287/.341/.422/.763 against righties in 237 AB .357/.392/.629/1.020 against lefties in 70 AB
  15. OK this is uber-bizarre. So the lineup is possibly: Hairston, CF Lawton, LF Lee, 1B Burnitz, RF Nomar, 3B Barrett, C Perez, 2B Cedeno, SS Or maybe Hairston Lawton Nomar Lee Burnitz Barrett Perez Cedeno
  16. And another bizarre Cubs season, just got more bizarre....
  17. Maybe the Royals will give him up in the next 5 weeks and he will go back to the Cubs :) :(
  18. Heh, we lost Zambrano and Prior's starts and won Williams start...
  19. Oh well at least we're all healthy *ducks*
  20. 132 pitches in not even freakin 7 IP? Please please fire Larry Rothschild
  21. Not that I ever wish injury on anyone, but its never the .229 hitting outfielder that gets hurt is it?
  22. Prior keeping at a consistant 18.5 pitches per inning
