    I wonder if my Minor League pass transfers to this game?

    Be patient. This is a good 1st step and hopefully the start of him locking in those mechanics and getting back to where he was last year. The added pressure at Iowa as well as game conditions will be the next test as well as maintaining the mechanics and focus when fatigued. Also, it would be good to see him work out of some jams or a bad 1st inning and settle down.

    Theriot needs to make that play, those should be errors.

    Raisin, any idea of the rotation this weekend, starting manana?

    Are there any realistic multi-team deals the Cubs could get in on to increase their chances? I don't know. It's not that the Brewers are better matched, they are just stacked in the minor leagues. The Cubs don't have a single prospect with the value of LaPorta and probably not one that comes close to Gamel either. If the Brewers decide to do whatever it takes, they will win this derby. Now, if the Brewers are hesitant to offer the top goods, the Cubs might outbid them. There might be other teams in this derby with more minor league resources than both Mil and the Cubs.

    You didn't watch the game I watched. He was very sharp the first two innings. The first really solid hit against him was Dye in the 3rd, and in fact, up until that point I thought he was out-pitching Contreras, despite being down 3-0. He had been sharp with most hits against coming on good pitches, mostly just off the plate outside. Quentin was lucky on both the single and the double and Cabrera got two hits on excellent pitches. He fell apart after that (faced only three more batters), but it was pretty evident by then the game wasn't going to be a good one for the Cubs, as the defense was terrible and the Cubs weren't taking advantage on offense. So he was sharp for the 1st two innings, unlucky in the 3rd, and fell apart after that and you say that he pitched well?

    In 5 years, they'll be near contention in the NL East. Rizzo is one of the best in the game as far as building a farm system.
  8. UK1679666180
    Ramirez is clearly the better overall player b/c of the offensive difference. Crede is probably the 4th best 3B in the AL (Rodriguez, Longoria, and Lowell).
  9. UK1679666180
    TB is up 4-2 against Boston. Another horrible umpire behind home plate in this one.
  10. UK1679666180
    The defense was awful behid him, but Dempster was terrible as well. He had no command and left everything up, he certainly wasn't sharp and definitely did not pitch well.
  11. UK1679666180
    Nevermind, Bay hit a walk-off HR on a 2-2 FB up and out over the plate.
  12. UK1679666180
    Houston is now up 11-9, with a TB win/Bos. loss, the Rays will have the best record in MLB.
  13. UK1679666180
    I'm more interested in who Houston is playing rather than the Stros themselves.
  14. UK1679666180
    Stros now lead 5-4.
  15. UK1679666180
    Let's go Astros, Twins, and Royals.
  16. UK1679666180
    (Not in order) Gary Scott Pat Cline Brooks Kieschnick Earl Cunningham Lance Dickson Drew Hall Derrick Wallace Ty Griffin Mike Harkey Corey Patterson Jackie Davidson Luis Montanez (Some on this list weren't really overrated, just were injury prone.)
  17. UK1679666180
    They just got Willingham back which lessened the chance of him getting called up, they appear to be content with Cantu at 3rd for the time being. His best chance will likely come around the trade deadline. He deserves a shot, IMO. He's all or nothing with that swing, even this year, he's striking out 2 out of every 5 ABs or close to it. He looks like a Russell Branyan type at this stage.
  18. UK1679666180
    3-1 I know Ronny hit it well, but when you are down 6 you should take two on 3-0. why? He got a pitch to hit and it was 3-1. Why go to 3-2 when you can hit 3-1 hard? Agreed. His odds of doing anything productive drop when taking a meatball for strike to get to 3-2.
  19. UK1679666180
    This is where Lou's poor decision to keep Dempster in there is prob. costing them.
  20. UK1679666180
    Cubs need a long inning with some time delays.
  21. UK1679666180
    one, if you want to blame that first inning run on him. personally it looked more like heads-up baserunning than sleepy outfielding, so let's split the difference and blame him for 0.5 of a run. so it should be white sox 7.5, cubs 0. One? What? There was that, the AJ basehit that he overran, the bad throw to home where he would have had Quentin if he made a good throw... that's three right there. And probably more. Dempster would not have retired him regardless, given that he would've scored on one of the following hits or definitely on the GS.
  22. UK1679666180
    Not as many as Dempster.
  23. UK1679666180
    Damn, that 3-1 BS is awful by blue.
  24. UK1679666180
    Who cares?
  25. UK1679666180
    Did Hawk get the score wrong? I thought he said that's nine, meaning the ninth grand slam in the history of the series. You're correct.
