Nice job, Cesar. -
Also, you'll all be happy to know that Jeff Brantly advocated walking Jock to get to Lee. :shock: :lol:
-
I just got back from playing softball in the driving snow (it got PPD), how we looking?
-
Ah, nuts. Hit it right to the old man.

C'mon Cliff, make me not wish you were Murton.

Is it the hair? ...yes.

Lee's at least giving Arroyo a battle.
-
Arroyo reminds me of why I can't stand Khalil Green.
-
I see now why Arroyo owns Soriano.
-

Minor League Exhibition Games Boxes: 4-3-07

I'm looking forward to seeing how Taylor and Atkins develop this season. Both have ceilings of good middle of the rotation starters and the FSL is notoriously pitcher-friendly. -
Minor League Rosters, Pawelek in relief
Outshined_One replied to craig's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
He got drafted out of high school less than two years ago and has no full season experience under his belt. He still isn't old enough to get into a bar. I'd obviously love to see Pawelek become a top-flight pitcher. However, setbacks like this won't even come close to make me give thought to him being a bust. If he flops in his first full season, I might become a bit worried. You have to remember that it pays to be patient with prospects. It is discouraging to hear these reports on him, but you have to remember that he is still young and still has quite a bit of talent which he has time to harness. Remind me, how long did it take Rich Hill to put it together? I seem to recall a pitcher drafted out of college whose spike curveball made batters, umpires, and fans in the first few rows of the stands quite nervous. I know we want everyone in our system to fly through the system, come up to the Cubs, and be All Stars immediately. However, that is an incredibly unrealistic point of view to take. You might be able to make a reasonable assessment on a guy after seeing him in action over a full season or two, but we have not come to that point with Pawelek yet. When we do, then we can start rationally discussing whether the Cubs made the right move in drafting him. -
The state of Ohio could fall into Lake Erie and I wouldn't care less. I'm quite happy the Gators won. :D
-
As I remember, Alou had some fun adventures on the basepaths in that game. I can't remember Dusty ever even looking at Alou in a bad way.
-
I predict Arroyo will NOT hit 2 HRs off a Cubs lefthander this year.
-
It was moved from Baseball Discussions.
-
Wow, bad call at 2B.
-
Country Texan from Houston, huh? :lol: He needs a rocking chair and some chaw to complete the look.
-
And now he's talking up Bako. This game is putting a smile on my face.

Don't worry, the little Cubs will raise your hopes up and crush them just as well. ;) -

"I'm the one who told Corey [Patterson] to look for that pitch up against lefties!" Great, so you were the one telling Corey to swing at crap up around his eyes. Nicely done.
-
On the flip side, with last year's offense, we'd have been shut out. Sucky game, but there are still 161 to go.
