  1. Because Walker says what he feels like saying and the Cubs don't like that.
  2. Ow. I hate leaving Gamecenter with a 4 run lead to do some work, then coming back only to find it's a 1 run lead. :cry:
  3. I'm watching MLBTV, and he's mostly just barely missing. I'm calling Gameday anti-Cub BIAS!! :evil: :wink:
  4. On Gameday it's showing pitches almost off the screen. Is he really that out of control?
  5. 3 run jack by young Matty Murton!! OMG that just made my day! :D
  6. I'm gonna try and stay optimistic about Jones.. Maybe they'll give him enough days off against lefties that his numbers will be solid. Hey, Jones has a 1.250 OPS against Harang (in 4 AB's) So what's his story again? 2 years ago, he was hitting great. That's not all that long ago. Injuries?
  7. He looked pretty good today, but some good wood on the ball and made some real nice plays in left. Almost made that great catch, but was just on the wrong foot. Hitting behind sizemore and ahead of peralta and v-mart should help him a lot. Big big year for Michaels. I also thought he looked pretty good. Overall it was a pretty bad night for Cleveland, though. I know it's only one game, but they didn't look real good.
  8. Interesting study. However, please note the White Sox are very close to us and they won it all. There is more than one way to the promised land. Give me 5 pitchers who make all their starts and perform at a high level, and I'll trump your OBP rookies any day.
  9. That's like saying a thief must be credited for all those times he decided not to steal. A manager at the major league level is expected to make good moves---even the *right* move, if you will---all the time. We can credit Dusty for his good moves if we want, but the bottom line is, he isn't making enough of them. Not for this level of baseball. This thread started out as a comparison between Dusty and Tony, so I will fall back once again on that comparison. Tony makes a higher percentage of good moves than Dusty does. Boy, Tony makes some inane moves himself though. He's not much better at handling a pitching staff, that's for sure. Plus some of his late inning moves in close games leave questions to be answered. In big games, too. No question he has had his bad days.
  10. The whole team? And I didn't know Pavano's nickname was 8-ball. :-k Pavano must have taken the train to work. I wonder if this means the Yankees will be bringing up the rear. I wonder if Pavano was getting humped from behind...and that's what made his butt hurt...dang...I got nothing. :lol:
  11. Did you see how out of shape he was? :shock: Wow. And I thought our pitchers needed to follow better offseason conditioning programs.
  12. Remember the Ides of Womack....
  13. Any news on what it was? I do not know. But it didn't take long for the Tribe to come back. 3-3. strained ab. there is a thread in rivalries. Thanks stitch. I haven't been to that forum so I didn't know it was there.
  14. Any news on what it was? I do not know. But it didn't take long for the Tribe to come back. 3-3.
  15. I think the 75+ IP he had last year at the major league level with a .219 BAA and 10.6 K/9 matters more than the 8+ IP he has in spring training this year. Spoken like Dusty Baker himself, haha. 8) Just kidding man. Seriously though---I don't view Wuertz as established enough to survive on reputation. To me he's a borderline major leaguer. I'd like to go with the hot hand when it comes to those guys. At the end of the day, I hope Wuertz tears it up and proves me totally wrong.
  16. On 2nd thought, maybe picking Detroit over Cleveland isn't so outrageous. Sabathia just went down with injury. Not sure how serious yet, but it looked like some kind of strain.
  17. Maybe this should be in another thread, but CC Sabathia just left the game in the 3rd inning with injury. Bad, bad news for Cleveland.
  18. I read them all from time to time. However, I must say I have been disappointed with the Sun Times lately, because they have been caught putting headlines on their stories that distort what the articles actually say. I'm sure this happens at other newspapers, too. But as of late, it has come to my attention regarding the Sun Times. I still intend to read the paper.
  19. The whole team? And I didn't know Pavano's nickname was 8-ball. :-k Pavano must have taken the train to work. I wonder if this means the Yankees will be bringing up the rear.
  20. I might be able to keep up with it on Gamecenter, but no Mondays are always hell at work there's no way I can skip out. :cry:
