    Since Fred isn't here and I was curious, the Cubs are seeing 3.18 P/PA and the Cards are seeing 4.47.
  2. texascub
    Where is Fred with our P/PA stat?
  3. texascub
    Neither do they.

    I hate Wade Miller.
  5. texascub
    The way Jacque went after that ball made me think that the ump called it fair.
  6. texascub
    Wade has a really good curve today, why hasn't he thrown it more?
  7. texascub
    Triple play coming right here.

    Nothing was wrong with that at bat. He hit it hard. i know...i just want to keep pie and drop cedeno but...that is just me pie will be kept, cedeno looks a lot better than izturis. i wish we could trade izturis. Would Hendry really be willing to admit a mistake though?
  9. texascub
    It seems like Cedeno has been really unlucky here lately, does anyone know his BABIP?

    I'm sure Cleveland has wireless hotspots, you're just being lazy :wink:

    So if they lose, it's all your fault. Wainwright is on my fantasy team and I'm definitely starting him tomorrow, hopefully we can get to the Cards after he exits.

    With someone like Rich Hill, the control was there in the minors but not in the majors. Marmol has never had better than average control, and generally it's been rather poor. At this point, if they see him as a closer prospect, I don't think they'd be hurting his development by shifting him to the bullpen. The Cubs have a lot of guys in the pipeline who are really starter-only prospects (Gallagher, Veal, Samardzija) and if Z is signed, there are four guys set in the rotation for the next couple of years. Meanwhile, the pen has a good number of veterans (Howry, Eyre) and guys who are marginal (Ohman, Cotts). So I favor moving him to the bullpen. There's nothing wrong with stretching him out and letting him work on his pitches from the rotation now even if he is a closer prospect. We once viewed Aardsma as a closer prospect, and he did some starting as well just to help him work on his pitches and command.

    Dallas is up 1-0 early. They got a 5 on 3 PP and Modano was able to get the goal.
  14. texascub
    Still no Dopirak in the lineup, anyone know what's wrong with him?
  15. texascub
    I really don't know much about hockey but I'm gonna try to watch tonight's Stars game.

    Adrian Alaniz had a nice game as well for Texas. He went 7 2/3IP, 7 hits, 4 ER, 10/3 K/BB on 126 pitches.

    Completely false. That makes a lot of sense. See the post right below this yours. Not to mention that Pie gets amazing reads on balls and has a superb throwing arm; two things that Jones does not have. I don't know why people are calling for Pie and Murton's heads. It really makes little sense. I don't understand why people are calling for Murton's head, but there were serious questions if Pie could hit ML pitching all offseason. So far, he hasn't done anything to change those question marks, and people wonder if he's really ready. He should be better than Jones eventually, but I doubt he will be this year. As long as JJ keeps pulling the ground on the ball to the right side of the infield, I'd much rather have Pie in there. He's probably going to get on base just as much as Jones even if he doesn't offer the same power. He's also much quicker on the basepaths.

    The Cubs are beating the Cardinals 6-0 in the 9th. Marquis throws 7 shutout innings against his old team and this sucks? :shock: This is the start of a 9 game win streak. Only 9? You're too pessimistic.
  19. texascub
    Please don't tell me that you're getting the Cubs game.
  20. texascub
    Completely false. That makes a lot of sense. What information do you have to offer that says that Pie is any worse than Jones? His 18 career ML ABs? He's one of the best prospects in the game and even at this point has more to offer than Jones does, and he's only going to get better.
  21. texascub
    He's not, he's still hitting just .217 on the season. The problem is everyone looks better when they play the Cubs.
  22. texascub
    Well that shot a hole in the DP opportunity. Ohman really needs to get his head in the game.
  23. texascub
    8 hour class? You should've played dead this morning.
  24. texascub
    Oh man, we're doomed.
