When can we sign up to start game threads?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to otis89's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Ahem. *cowers* -
Williams had an ERA, WHIP, K/BB, and OPS against that puts him in the top 30 starters in the NL. That's 2 or 3 starter material.

What about me? I was undefeated last year. I just checked the rotation Serena had in the thread from last year. Your name wasn't on it for some reason. Unless of course you're screwing with me and went 0-0. -

I don't think you can have that many poll options. The best records from last year include: Roast 5-2 thrivein05 4-1 I'd say one of those two or Bhogg. -
Convention "Down on the Farm" Session?
Transmogrified Tiger replied to craig's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I noted that as bs as well...(from whomever said that at the convention..not you, Deuce). Also, Felix Pie having a tough time in winter ball isn't good news no matter how you spin it. Here's to hoping that Pawelek has another great year...where will he be pitching this season? high A? I'd guess low A Peoria. Andy Sisco did not really have that bad a season in his last year in the Cubs system. Interesting justification for not protecting him. Anyone hear of Andy causing problems in KC? Thanks, Deuce! Sisco wasn't terrible, but saying he had a bad year isn't a stretch at all. He set career worsts in ERA(4.21), WHIP(1.45), walk rate(4.64/9 IP), HR rate(0.79/9), hit rate(8.43/9), basically everything was worse except his K rate, which stayed the same. He also broke his hand, and wasn't young for his (pitcher's) league. Not bad enough to use as justification not to protect him, especially given his ceiling. Using it in conjunction with his injury, attitude, and weight problems probably is. Someone a while back(maybe Bruce?) also brought up that the Cubs didn't want to send the message to the system that they rewarded that type of performance/behavior. -
No. Just no. http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/PHA/1920.shtml 48-106 Maybe they meant the 1910 Athletics. The 1910 Athletics are already on the list... You and your checking the list..... I dunno, the 1930 team won 102 games and a WS.

Two observations: 1) There's no reason at all for Sosa's name to be brought up 2) If McGwire was traded to the Mets instead of the Cardinals, half of these posts about him wouldn't have been made. I'll say it again. He was putting up HOF caliber numbers before he was traded to STL and the ensuing Andro/Steroid controversy. Take a look at his numbers, he was always good.
-
So because of the washed up, bullpen-battler signing the Cards are going to the series? Hmm. Well, makes sense to me! im pretty sure he was sarcastic. Yeah I read it too fast, so either it was all sarcasm or no sarcasm. I went with the former. GOD I'M AN IDIOT. GEEZ. Attack your post, not yourself. Yes, let's not call anyone an idiot even if it is yourself. :lol: Hahaha! Whoops! God that post was lamer than Roosevelt's legs. Too soon.

EPatt doesn't K a lot? Okay.... -
I'd second those comments about Delhomme. The whole game he didn't act with much class, then he sprinted to the locker room after the game without taking part in any of the post game handshakes and such. IMO he didn't carry himself very well at all.
-
A) easy to say when there's no way to know if you're right or not. Except that there is. Smith already had a step or three on Thompson or whatever his name is when he fell down on the 2nd score, and against Tillman, he was already level with him after about four yards, and you can't tell me that Smith couldn't outrun Tillman from there. Sure Smith had them beat, many receivers beat their man by a step or two on deep routes. That still doesn't mean that he would've scored. The defender falling down on those two TD's took the throws from "pretty difficult" to "criminally easy" for Delhomme to make.
-
I don't see the particular relevance to this discussion, but yes, I like Corey.
-
yeah his defense is not that good. Fielding percentage is a poor way to determine defensive performance. BP's fielding metrics rate him easily above average.
-
Lugo is a very good defensive player.
-
Absolutely infuriating. Also infuriating was CU making 13 three point shots. I would've rather McKinney lost the ball for a layup then have the ball taken out of our hands like that.
-
While it would have been fun to have both teams undefeated in the conference going into Monday, I'm happy with any result that pulls other Big XII teams towards the middle of the pack. Having a team of kU's caliber lose a home game helps too.
-
Does that specify whether the second game was a playoff game or not?

Vance Breaks Down the NL Central
Transmogrified Tiger replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in General Baseball Talk
I have a hard time seeing the Cardinal bullpen repeating last year's performance. It would be difficult with the same personnel, and they've probably downgraded on the whole. -
If she floats, then she's a witch.....

This is where you'd need a follow-up. Okay, so he said you couldn't do more damage, but given the likelihood that Wood will not be ready for opening day, would you not have been better off having him get the surgery a month earlier and starting his rehab earlier? And even though the doctor said he wouldn't suffer anymore damager, wouldn't common sense tell you that a pitching injury could be made worse by pitching? And given your terrible track record of having pitchers stay healthy, and get back to healthy after injuries, don't you think that taking the cautious approach with this one, would have been the wise approach? Common sense vs. Medical School & years of medical experience. Hmm Answer: Why does a $100 million team give up with 50 games to go. Wood pitched quite well out of the pen. He pitched 12 innings out of the pen before he had to go under the knife. The Cubs were 5 games out of the WC and behind 6 other teams when he started pitching in relief.
-
That seems like an odd combination of players. Richard Lewis played collegiately in Atlanta at Georgia Tech; and obviously Corey comes from a GT family and, like Barrett, is originally from the Atlanta area. Perhaps that's the link that had those three targeting to work-out together....Maybe they should have invited Nomar, Murton, and Eric Patterson as well (all former GT players). Ah, Barrett is from the area too, that makes sense then.
