'Cause he's shut us out ??? Right. But why aren't the Astros trying the same approach? They don't care anymore. We eliminated them yesterday. :wink:

Cubs didn't use Marmol, Howry, or Dempster yesterday, so 6 innings would be plenty from Z. CUBS' bullpen load during the last week.....

'Cause he's shut us out ???

Great idea. Let's eliminate that whole "attack the post not the poster" part of the guidelines. Surely none of us gets upset when someone is...abrasive (is that what we're calling it?). So obviously, since the sole point of the rule is to make sure people don't get their feelings hurt, there's no point in having the rule. I can't wait for the attacks to start flying. But that's just it. Meph rarely attacks the poster. He might phrase his answer in a condescending fashion, but he's not attacking anyone. What happens, is it appears that posters take the condescention as an attack and react to that. But, I've seen few occasions of Meph actually, directly attacking the poster. Vance.... when you get home from school tomorrow, you can walk in the door and say..... "Jenny, when I'm with you, time seems to stand still.", and you'll probably have a very warm and tender evening. Or, you could say..... "Jenny, you've got a face that could stop a clock.", and you'll sleep on the couch. Are ya getting the idea ??

Go to church on your way to the ballgame, eh?

I disagree with some others that think the non-quantifiable things are very small. I actually think they are somewhat large (although not nearly as much as football or basketball). However, I question if Theriot has those "intangibles" that everyone describes of him. "He provides a spark, and he's a winner"-the Cubs are 60-58 with him starting, and 19-14 when he doesn't. Additionally, the Cubs score 5.24 runs per game when Theriot is not in the lineup, while they only score 4.37 runs per game when Theriot starts. (those might be a little off, I was trying to do a manual count-there's at least a .6 or .7 difference though, maybe Fred can run it through his program and check). There's absolutely no evidence that Theriot makes the Cubs better. They don't win more when he's in the lineup, and they don't score as much when he's in the lineup (countering the intangible that even though Theriot might not be getting on, his spark has made others better around him). There are other intangibles, but I think most people would agree those are the two biggest, and Theriot hasn't made a difference on either one. Discriminating with respect to whether Theriot is in the lineup or not, I get..... 60-58 with 4.44 R/G when Theriot is in the starting lineup 19-14 with 5.12 R/G when Theriot does not start 04/02 - 09/17 AB R H 2b 3b HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS CUBS w/o Theriot 1181 169 351 89 8 29 543 158 97 213 0.297 0.351 0.460 0.811 CUBS w/Theriot 4078 524 1068 230 19 103 1645 498 375 752 0.262 0.326 0.403 0.730 CUBS overall 5259 693 1419 319 27 132 2188 656 472 965 0.270 0.332 0.416 0.748 This doesn't take into account games that Theriot didn't start but came in as a replacement later. I'm not sure I'd want to try and draw any conclusion from this.
