CT !! ..... Back away from those baby seals !!!!

I'll get started on that one right away !! :wink:

Great. More day games equals more Cubs' losses! Ask the players. :wink: It must be so. CUBS are 16-17 in day games CUBS are 12-17 at night Go CUBS !!

I'm bored. Can we start the game early ???

Let's hope Barrett is getting back to where he's been in previous seasons. He's looked good this last week, driven mostly by his 2 HRs, but over 30 days and over the season, DeRosa has bested him. 06/05 - 06/11 AB R H 2B 3B HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS BABIP Barrett 18 4 5 0 0 2 11 2 3 4 0.278 0.381 0.611 0.992 0.250 DeRosa 24 1 8 0 0 0 8 5 1 1 0.333 0.360 0.333 0.693 0.348 05/11 - 06/11 AB R H 2B 3B HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS BABIP Barrett 84 11 19 4 0 4 35 7 9 16 0.226 0.298 0.417 0.715 0.234 DeRosa 85 11 24 4 1 2 36 15 9 14 0.282 0.354 0.424 0.778 0.319 04/02 - 06/11 AB R H 2B 3B HR TB RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS BABIP Barrett 191 20 47 8 0 9 82 26 19 34 0.246 0.310 0.429 0.739 0.257 DeRosa 178 20 47 10 2 6 79 32 21 37 0.264 0.347 0.444 0.790 0.304

Last year, under Dusty, there were only 7 instances (4.4% of all starts) where the CUBS' starter threw more than 120 pitches, and none of these instances involved the pitchers you mentioned. starter avg P/G High Marshall 85.6 102 Guzman 87.4 101 R Hill 101.0 120 To further illustrate the point on patience........ year BBs P/PA 2005 419 3.61 2006 395 3.68 2007 499 3.72 I used straight linear extrapolation to come up with the 499 total for 2007 Just my opinion, but I'd be hard pressed to grade Pienella so highly as long as the team is underperforming their Pythagorean projection by such a large margin.

that's ok, he'll start again tonight Jones has started 13 of the 15 games where the opposing starter was a lefty. Unfortunately, he'll probably start again tonight. That cannot be right Fred. In fact, I just looked it up, and it's the opposite. Jones has only started 2 times out of the 15 games that the Cubs have had against left-handers. One was the time in May where Jones started against a left-hander and the next day Pagan came up to start against the next one, and the other time was last week when Floyd and Murton were both hurt. You're absolutely right. He's started once in CF and once in RF. Now I gotta find out why my database is screwing up. Oh boy !! edit: found the glitch !! Starts in CF against lefties....... Jones 1 Soriano 1 Pie 3 Pagan 10 Starts in RF agains lefties....... DeRosa 1 Jones 1 Pagan 12 Theriot 1

that's ok, he'll start again tonight Jones has started 13 of the 15 games where the opposing starter was a lefty. Unfortunately, he'll probably start again tonight.

I post that breakdown most every day in the worthless stats of the day schtick.
