I hate life when I see idiotic lineups like this. I think Dusty is so dumb, that Lee would have to be IBB 50 times before Dusty's pea-sized brain would pick up on it.

Junior doesn't have a no trade clause or 10/5 priveldges?

When he's on, his stuff is filthier than Z's or Prior's. I really do believe that.

You're right I stand Corrected. Prior Z Williams Maddux. Just really doesn't strike fear into anyones heart after the first two.

I'm still in Madison 8), but maybe not for long :(

one example of why you don't get rid of Wood....Curt Schilling. He went through similar injuries for about three years with the phillies in the mid-90's. Everyone thought he would wash out as well.... [sarcasm]What the hell are you talking about. Wood sucks and is the Worst.Pitcher.Ever. I'd rather have Jeff Fassero starting than Wood. Get his bum-ass out of town, because he's worthless. Trade him, trade him, trade him, even for a bag of balls. [/sarcasm]

This isn't going to happen next year. Woody will get scoped and will be a starting pitcher. Maddux might not vest and won't be back. That's the theory behind the plan.

Never doubt the Astros. Last week it was Pedro Martinez vs. Ezequiel Astacio. Pedro pitched like his usual self, but Astacio mowed down the Mets. The Astros won that game. :roll: At some point the better pitcher is going to win out, why not tonight? I'm not doubting you. I'm just pointing out that the team with the "better" pitcher doesn't always win. Anyone else just have 2003 NLCS flashback? I try and avoid thinking about that series as much as possible. In fact I have it pretty well blocked out of all aspects of my memory.

It would definitely get him in a situation where he could start if we make the playoffs. And yes, i want him starting if we make the playoffs. 4 man rotation. Prior Z Wood Williams

For the love of all things Holy, how the hell are they going to trade a guy with a no trade clause. This I want to see. No matter how many times you claim he's worthless, HE'S GOING NOWHERE. And If they don't pick him up at a lower cost after next year and he goes somewhere and becomes Roger Clemens, with a new bionic arm, I'm gonna personally come and hunt down everyone clamoring for his trade.

I wish a reporter would ask him about this, and be persistent when he gives his stupid LRLR answer. Bruce Miles? Please? It could be conceivable that he just doesn't even think about it and needs it brought to his attention.

Can someone post 100 of those head running into walls smileys? That's how I feel when I read the diahrrea that comes out of Dusty's mouth.

His stuff has never been in question, his health on the other hand...

Dear Dusty, Why Dusty Why? Why won't you remove your head from your rectum and realize that LRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLR is not the gospel of baseball. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PUT RAMIREZ BEHIND LEE. PLEASE. I know people think you are stupid, myself included, but you CAN'T be THIS stupid after seeing Lee get intentionally walked left and right lately. Love, Badger. P.S. Please don't tell me you know what you are doing.

I disagree 100 percent. There almost NO managers that will pull their closer. What kind of message of confidence does that send him? All Closers will blow games, it just happens. You can't have someone ready at the first sign of trouble. I bet that means an enormous amount to Dempster. I can't believe the number of you that would pull your closer who has been lights out pretty much at his first sign of trouble. Dusty is dumb, but not for this reason. Am I the only one who think that? I don't remember saying he should have been pulled. I just said someone should have started warming up. I am sorry, but if Dempster had walked in another run, you have to go get him. To sit there and watch a guy walk in the tying and winning runs is nothing short of [expletive]. I would hope that Dempster would be professional enough to undertand it if he couldn't find the strike zone. Now this is academic, but the responsible thing would have been to warm somebody up just in case Ryan couldn't find the zone at some point. The games mean too much at this point to sacrifice wins for a player's ego. Novoa was warming up. At what point? I didn't see the game, but if it was after the run was walked in, then it was too late. I couldn't see the game either, but his name popped up on gamecenter after the third guy was up (2 on) Maybe someone who watched the game could answer? Also maybe they could tell me what dempsters reaction was and the teams reaction after the last strikeout. For the 3rd time. :evil:

9 hits 7 walks and 1 run. I'd be more pissed about that and Dusty keeping Burntiz behind Lee than him having faith in his closer. Was Dempster really pumped after that last strikeout? How was the Cub Bench reaction?

My lungs do not appreciate Dempster right now. Was he really pumped after that strikeout for those with a TV? Mitch Dempster. Phew.

He's your closer. For bettter or worse. I'm smoking cigarettes like it's my job right now.

Or dempster not being able to hit the broad side of a barn.

Please get it to bell with 2 outs.

God dempster please don't suck.

I'm trying to post, im irritated by Dusty's brainless moves, and then critical errors come up for 10 minutes. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I think I just blew a gasket.

Reason 50000000000000324932-85093485093485043850394580 why Ramirez should bat behind Lee. DUMBSTY ARE YOU LISTENING?
