No worries there, we love making fun of Alou. :D -
Yes, I'm a Cards fan. I've already 'admitted' to that. Another word of advice. People tend to be more reactionary in Game threads. While we welcome fans of opposing teams, NSBB is first and foremost a site for Cubs fans. As mods have said before, opposing teams fans might be best served to tread lightly in the game threads, especially when you haven't posted elsewhere. BTW, Welcome!

There are several Cards fans here that are respected quite a bit. From what I've seen, you've started your posting career here at the beginning of a Cards/Cubs series, and haven't exactly been congenial. Tone matters, get off on the right foot before responding with sarcasm, it will go a long way.

Why does it matter? The All-Star game is long past.
-
Because he hits left handed pitching like a schoolgirl. The bullpen is taxed, Maddux doesn't have an extreme pitchcount and he has a big lead. Leave him in to eat some innings(weeps for the option).
-
He was awesome in the first half of 2004 and all of 2003.. what happened? I wouldn't go that far. He is 13-5 with a 2.4ish ERA in his last six starts (obviously before today). Wow, 18 decisions in 6 starts is impressive.
-
Probably Maddux in his first go round with the Cubs. I think I remember him having one.
-
and a walk too! :w00t:

I will never ever claim Pujols should sniff a gold glove this year. Worst error I've seen him make. He has made a couple nice picks today, on throws from Eckstein and Nunez. I've always said that Pujols wasn't gold glove caliber, but everyone has a bad error now and again.

To answer my own question, prior to today's game, Mulder has a 6.93 ERA in Day games, 2.14 in Night games. But, for his career it is around 4.15 in the day and 3.75 at night. Obviously, before this year it was closer than that. I'm not trying to draw any conclusions from it, I was just wondering if today was in line with his extreme split so far this year, which it is.

Someone help me out here, Mulder's got really bad Day/Night splits this year. Is he normally awful in the day, or is this out of the ordinary?
-
Why? It's not like he's some bubble player who may or may not be able to make it as a starter. We know what Wood can do as a starter when healthy, let him have the surgery and start rehabbing as a starter so he can get back in the rotation ASAP next year. To showcase him for a trade. I don't want to allocate $12 million to a guy who's most likely on the DL by May of next year. I think you're more likely to hurt him further than improve another team's view on him by stretching him out for 2-3 starts.

I hate when umpires call people out who were never tagged because the throw beat them. It's like the phantom foot on a double play. Pay attention and make a call based on what actually happens, not what's likely to happen.
-
Mulder, you have one of the worst players in the league at the plate, and he's already gotten lucky off of you. No need to delay by trying to pick off the gremlin.
-
Nope, both Rogers and Morris will be FA's.
-
I doubt the Yankees are huge players, they don't have any money coming off the books do they? They have Brown, Bernie, Gordon, Felix Rodriguez, and a couple others that make less. Between those 4, they free up over 35 million.

Welcome! I'm an incoming freshman at Mizzou, what's your major? business management what about you. what dorm you living in? Computer science, although I may go for a minor in business. Wolpers for me, how about you? Are you a freshman too? Your post makes it sounds like you aren't. no ill be a sophomore and i will be living in cramer this year, just easier for me this year to live in a dorm. perhaps this embarrassing season by the cubs could be replaced by a good season by the tigers in football? I'm hoping, can't wait to get my season tickets next month. EDIT: BTW, there's several other students around here. Cubbies75, Strife(although he is a Cards fan :wink:), and Mizzou(surprising I know).

Actually, that's pretty funny. You know we'd be laughing at the Cards if they were in the same position. Yeah, except for the fact that you'd never see the Cubs do a Cards lowlight reel.
-
This is real class. The CARDINALS FSN broadcast starts their telecast with a highlight reel of all the Cubs screwups from the last few weeks, with "Free Falling" playing in the background.
-
That looks like Macias is at 2B. Good thinking Dusty, Walker's only 5 for his last 13, and 5 for his last 15 against LHP. Oh, and Walker had a day off 3 games ago.
-
Going by Runs Created: Kent Utley Giles Freel Castillo Loretta Walker Durham Weeks Counsell Biggio Aurilia Have all been better than Grudzielanek.
-
what do you think... (Nomar to OF, 2B?)
Transmogrified Tiger replied to jose cardenals hair's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Nomar wouldn't be a very good option in the OF, his offense would be diluted there. I also don't know about moving him to 2B, since there's no guarantee he'll be better than Walker, who we have on the cheap next season.
