    What the hell is with these insane Budweiser commercials lately? If you removed the corporate logo at the end, you'd have no idea what the commercials are for.

    He was safe, but that play was waaaaaaaaaay too close.
  3. Outshined_One
    That strike three pitch was insane.
  4. Outshined_One
    Going from looking like crap to total ownage? Yep, he's a Cub.
  5. Outshined_One
    2 more outs, plz.
  6. Outshined_One
    Oh God. I thought Adam LaRoche was going to own us...again.
  7. Outshined_One
    He can't do much from the bench. :D
  8. Outshined_One
    Do something good Ronny!
  9. Outshined_One
    He needs to lean into one. Missed his opportunity.

    Reed Johnson against a RHP? Uh oh.
  11. Outshined_One
    Enough with the lefty righty crap Bob. Hoffpauir hits lefties just as well as righties.

    Cubs lead! Go Kosuke-san!
  13. Outshined_One
    I hope someone torches that damned parrot mascot costume. The incessant hip thrusting is annoying.

    Cubs don't have a top 5 pick though. If only they could take Alvarez at 19...sigh. But, I was talking about Pedro playing for the Pirates.
  15. Outshined_One
    Yeah, right. Isn't there some closer who projects as a middle reliever that they can snatch up to save money instead? They usually reach on a LHP. Christian Friedrich would fit the bill. However, the new management stated they were going to make a statement in this draft and take the top player on their board, regardless of salary demands.

    Pedro Alvarez just hit a bases clearing double. Rather than go back in time, I prefer to look to the future!

    I think your son could go 3/4 against Marquis with two home runs at this point. :lol: Bobby Bonilla just went yard. It was a three run homer. Marquis gave up a double to Sid Bream and a walk to Doug Drabek earlier in the inning.

    It was about medium-depth. There probably would have been a play at the plate.

    Cashner is probably going to be the second college closer taken after Joshua Fields. He's good enough that he could be a September callup. For those of you interested or bored, Witchita State/Missouri State is on Comcast right now. WSU 3B/OF Conor Gillaspie is a player of note and could be a possibility for the Cubs with their sandwich pick. In watching this game, I see why scouts are torn on Gillaspie sticking at 3B. He has a very good arm and soft hands, but man, his instincts are crap. One game does not make a player, but it looks like he needs a good amount of coaching and reps out there. However, Gillaspie's bat is very good. He chokes up slightly and has an exaggerated crouch in his batting stance. Quick trigger, good pitch recognition. He just hit a no-doubter home run, to boot. The guy also has some nice speed on the basepaths. He's definitely the athletic type that fits the Wilken mold, imo.

    There are other Nolan Ryans?
  24. Outshined_One
    I'm just as confused as you are. But hey, if Colvin ends the season with an OBP over .400, I don't think any of us will complain.
  25. Outshined_One
    Except that it's not. He never had a season with a significant number of starts where he's more than 2 games under .500. Look at who else has been number 5 or better on the Cubs recently -- Rusch? Mitre? Estes? Maddux? Clement? They are all still floating around, and though Maddux is a wonder, Marquis is a clear upgrade on the others. Look at it this way, if your #5 starter is two games under .500, and your #4 starter is at .500, it's reasonable to expect your team to be at least 20 games over .500, with a strong performance from the pan and the rest of the rotation. Zambrano and Dempster have held up their ends this year, the others haven't. Yet, the problem in the rotation is the number 5 starter, even though they are .500 in his starts, and he has a better ERA than Lilly? There is every reason to believe Marquis will get bumped in the second half. Until then, he is performing exactly as would have been expected -- as a major league #5 starter. And no one has done enough to take that job away from him. We're picking starters based on W/L record? Wow. Well how else is one supposed to value a pitcher's worth? You act like there are other statistics (that are not team dependent) that are indicative of a pitcher's performance as an individual contributor. :blink: This should be in sarcastic green. Sorry, I'm from St. Louis. Morans around here must be having a negative influence on me. I fixed the post. Just for clarification, I think Mojopin's post should also be in green. :lol:
