  1. We need him, Murton and Soriano to pick it up and we should see a lot more offense.
  2. Yeah I dunno either, but I would like to keep him up once Soriano comes back. Nice job Murton! Line drives to the opposite field, thats what we like to see! He ain't gonna be much worse than Jones/Murton (the guys he'd take bats away from). And his CF defense would add GREATLY. don't be so sure about that I'm not sure. But I want to see a stable OF, enough of this rotating crap. It should get more stable as the year goes on. Lou's still trying to find somebody to contribute consistently.
  3. Much as I like him and his potential - I agree. Basehit Murton!
  4. he will. He did. :D I feeeeelt it. :lol: Redbirds aint got a shot.
  5. I like it today because I had to go cover some little kids playing baseball earlier. Just got back in now in time to catch the game. I have to be into work at 3, so I'll miss the whole game. Probably for the best, as they'll most likely lose again anyway. Yeah they probably will, but I'll watch anyway. I like torture I guess.

  7. I would absolutely hate that. Luckily down here in Tennessee we're getting Cubs/Cards. I am sick and tired of the Red Sox/Yankees. Yeah, it drives me nuts. I pretty much get Yankee games on Saturdays unless the Cubs are playing the Cardinals. Can't get that today because the "Greatest Rivalry in all of Sports" takes precedent. :roll: I hate it when people call it that. I'm not even sure it's the best rivalry in baseball.

  9. Excellent pick. I almost took him for the Giants, but I thought Free was a little better and had more versatility.
  10. The Braves radio guys brought up an interesting stat earlier that I didn't realize. The Cubs are 0-6 in games with a margin of 2 runs or less.
  11. You better be scared. Brandon Jones and Courtney Roby are gonna exploit that youth at corner. :D
  12. Vance and the Cowboys are now on the clock.
  13. Me too. The plan was to do only rounds 1-3. last week many people expressed interest in going further. But since we're only getting 1 pick a day now, that's going to be impossible. Oh my good God, I too am retiring if it goes any further. At this rate, we wouldn't even get round 4 done before the actual draft, so I doubt it will continue after the 3rd round. The conditions on going on was that the picks would be on a 12-hour time limit. It wouldn't be ideal because a good number of people would likely take the whole time, but it would help matters.
  14. Rich's stats are sexist? He'd better watch out. 8-) LMAO, nice catch I try.

  16. No way. 111 pitches. Probably, and I'd pull him, but without the save Lou might decide to give him the opportunity if he can do it efficiently. Well Ward just PH for him, so we can put that to rest. Fine with me. :D

  18. If we get the fourth run, does he stay for the complete game?
  19. I'd pull him here. Great job by Rich. :D
  20. What happened? I'm watching on Gameday. Hill's left cleat got caught in the mound during his pitch. He stumbled around and the trainers came out to check on him.
  21. Mostly youngsters and some career journeymen (Yates in this group). Their payroll has dropped drastically the past few years giving them the need to try to catch lightning in the bottle. well clearly no one goes to their games anymore The Braves have a pretty good team. The rotation after Smoltz and Hudson is pretty weak. Offense and bullpen are nice, though. Chuck James is very solid, a better pitcher then Horatio Ramirez. And Kyle Davis has a chance to be a very solid #4-5 pitcher in the majos. So, I would call the pitchers after Smoltz/Hudson "pretty weak", but I wouldn't call them a "strength" in 2007, either. I don't question their talent. I question whether they can pitch at a high level consistently. Neither has shown that yet. I would love to have either on the Cubs, though. I will say though, the offense and bullpen are good enough that they don't have to have great starting pitching. I just worry about them in the playoffs when starters are far more valuable. Of course then, they'll have Smoltz and Hudson as two of three.
