    Commence mugging!

    lol @ Thad Matta's gum.

    I think that last sequence saw approximately 30 fouls underneath the basket.

    Would Bill Simmons' head explode if Durant and Oden stayed in school another year?
  5. Outshined_One
    I see Oden found his mean streak.

    Bohannon's stepping up!
  7. Outshined_One
    Aaaaaaand down goes another. Hopefully Flowers can walk it off.

    That indeed is a dislocated elbow for Brian Butch. He's heavily wrapped up and won't be returning.

    Was that a dislocated elbow?!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

    Samardzija's myspace profile said otherwise when he was drafted.

    Nice no-call, refs.

    Let's hear it for second chances!

    Oh really? So it took about 1 week of ST for the whole "Prior is our 5th starter" thing to be thrown to the 4 winds ;) There's a joke in here about Lou Piniella being full of hot air or Jason Marquis blowing in this statement, but I've said enough. :)

    Aaaaaaaaaaand down goes Pittsburgh.

    I hadn't paid much attention to Jeff Green until recently, when NBAdraft.net had him going to the Bulls at 10. He's pretty darn good. The man will be a quality SF at the NBA level.

    You know, if Georgetown weren't sloppy and could consistently hit FTs, they'd be a Top 5 team with ease. There's plenty of talent and size to go around, but yeesh to the bad decision-making.

    My pick for NLROY.
  19. Outshined_One
    QFT. 8-)

    As much as it pains me to say it, David Eckstein and Juan Uribe are much better hitters than Cesar Izturis. The only thing keeping Cesar Izturis from Neifi Perez levels of putridity is the fact that he's a very good defensive SS. This team can win with someone like Izturis, but his terrible bat makes it more difficult. A SS who is even an average hitter would make this offense a lot better.

    Milb.com just became my favorite website. They're doing weekly reports on college and HS players, complete with brief scouting reports for the highlighted players. This Week Last Week Week Before Last

    Blanco has also had the luxury of being the primary catcher for Carlos Zambrano and Greg Maddux during that time. You can't make the argument in one sentence that rookie pitchers artificially inflated everyone's ERA and then come right back and say that Blanco's games have had a lower ERA while with the Cubs without mentioning that fact. Face it, if you catch better pitchers, your CERA will be pretty darn good. Addressing some of the other ideas in this thread, the Cubs already have a number of potential regulars on this team who will be offensive liabilities. Asking this team to play Blanco every day over Barrett simply because Barrett is inadequate defensively would insert one more terrible bat in the lineup. Soto might have nice OBP numbers, but his offensive potential is significantly lower than Barrett in any given year. If you're going to replace Barrett, find someone who either won't be an abyss of offensive putridity or who isn't likely to be on the decline, like Ivan Rodriguez. The hope is that Wieters will be available and could stick at catcher, but I really have doubts that a guy comparable in size to Adam Dunn would be able to stick behind the dish.

    Thanks, Todd. Todd Walker is the gift that just keeps on giving. Who did the Cubs get for him again? Jose Ceda, who is one of the more intriguing pitching prospects in the Cubs' system. :D

    2006: 29th in OBP, 28th in Runs 2005: 20th in OBP, 20th in Runs 2004: 22nd in OBP, 16th in Runs 2003: 24th in OBP, 20th in Runs Something tells me pitching (namely relying on Wood and Prior) hasn't been the only major problem this team has had over the past four years.
