    About bleeping time.

    Trade up for Tyrus Thomas plz.

    Hey, on the upside, at the rate things are going, the Cubs should have a bunch of extra draft picks along with a top 5 pick in the draft. I hear Robert Stock is a heck of a player down in HS. The Cubs should get him; he'd be able to help this team immediately.

    I just saw the replay of the Pierre throw home on Sportscenter. I lolled. Wow was that awful.

    In other news, New Orleans/Nashville has been suspended after 18 innings due to the fact that the game was still tied 4-4 at 2:30 AM.
  7. Outshined_One
    So they were going to continue to average that for the rest of the season?

    I think Z is pissed off.
  10. Outshined_One
    On the upside, you really can't blame Dusty for this team being so horrible. He's actually put out a good number of reasonable lineups this season and hasn't used guys like Bynum and Mabry to insane degrees like he has with guys such as Lenny Harris and Jose Macias in the past. Heck, even Neifi hasn't had much PT.
  11. Outshined_One
    Damon Jones?! Are you kidding me?????
  12. Outshined_One
    Strangely enough, those two men are my professor's two favorite composers from film. Go figure, imo.
  13. Outshined_One
    Miklos Rozsa = Awesome Agreed. We talked about him at length in my Film Theory class since my professor plays second violin in this orchestra. He just gushed over the man to a nearly-creepy extent. Still, Spellbound did have a terrific soundtrack.
  14. Outshined_One
    Meanwhile, I continue my quest to hunt down a relatively rare soundtrack. Rozsa's music from Hitchcock's Spellbound, for those of you wondering. And yes, there is a Madness Theme. It works well with this team.
  15. Outshined_One
    I think that K qualifies as a middle finger.
  16. Outshined_One
    He has thrown a knuckle curve before, as memory serves me.
  17. Outshined_One
    Fixed Eh, this past week has been utter hell for me. I had to turn in my undergrad thesis today, but this book that I recalled from the library about two months ago finally came in last week and turned my original thesis upside down. Couple that with a final and two 5-6 page papers due this week and, well, yeah. I can't say I'll miss these tension headaches when they go away. :D So, apathy has been quite helpful for me.

    In other news, the sun rose in the east this morning.
  19. Outshined_One
    Look at it this way. At least we won't be spending our summers wasting time caring about this team.
  20. Outshined_One
    Taylor's a pitcher I am really excited for. The Cubs have an excellent track record in drafting players from that region (Virginia), for one. For two, I liked what I read about him from BA's scouting report on him from before the draft (intimidating presence, aggressive mentality, and plenty of room for improvement down the line). I think he will make the Cubs quite happy in the coming years.

    Todd Wellemeyer wants to have words with you.

    I can't exactly say I'm thrilled with the current crop of positional prospects the Cubs have down on the farm. I don't think there's a single can't miss guy down there at the moment. The top positional prospects, through 5/2 (Dopirak omitted due to injury): Felix Pie (AAA) - 92 AB, 5 2B, 4 3B, 1 HR, 18/8 K/BB, 4 SB, 1 CS, .272/.337/.446 Eric Patterson (AA) - 100 AB, 3 2B, 3 3B, 2 HR, 25/8 K/BB, 10 SB, 4 CS, .260/.312/.410 Ryan Harvey (High A) - 83 AB, 1 2B, 0 3B, 5 HR, 24/6 K/BB, .181/.236/.373 I grant you, 80-100 ABs is not a great way to evaluate a player, but there is a common theme among these three guys that is cause for concern. I can't say I'm too thrilled with the inability to take a walk with these guys, ya know? With the pitchers, I can point to a number of exciting guys who have a terrific combination of makeup and stuff. We've seen alums of the Cubs farm system listed throughout this thread; we know they're really good at churning these guys out. We know there are more of them coming down the pipe, with names like Sean Gallagher and Mark Pawelek raising eyebrows around this board. Are there teams that are the exact opposite of the Cubs, who can turn out amazing position players, but stink at developing pitchers? The Diamondbacks seem to be on that road, but most of their big guns have not been tested for a significant period of time at the major league level yet.
  24. Outshined_One
    Pie's struggling down in AAA as we speak. I don't think he'd do much good with the team until he manages to turn around his offensive game. Well, that and the fact that his bat is much more suited to the middle of the order than the leadoff spot, given his K/BB ratio and power.
