    Ascanio is making a mockery of Oklahoma City: 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 7/2 K/BB Searle got victimized by a couple HR balls: 5 IP, 7 H, 4 ER, 7/2 K/BB, 2 HR

    A run prevented is just as good as a run scored. It's entirely possible that the best improvement available could be a reliever, especially since there's not much place the team can upgrade offensively because of contracts. That said, don't trade Randy Wells for Heath Bell, and probably don't trade for a reliever. That best improvement available could be Blake Parker or Jeff Stevens as easily as it could be Heath Bell.

    Yeah, I'm blacked out for both cubs and sox games, obviously. I just didnt knwo if that counted only for the home broadcasts or if that meant I couldn't see them at all. Nope, you cannot see them at all.

    For my experience, using the HD caliber feeds skip pretty badly on my internet connection. It can also be as much as a couple minutes behind live action. I usually turn off NexDef and put it on 4 bars(maximum SD) and it looks fine on my 19" TV. It also runs pretty much at real time. I haven't used it all that much though, certainly not as much as I've wanted(although with the Cubs this year..) For blackout stuff, there should be a place around the MLB.tv site to test what teams are blacked out for you. My guess is there's no way you're not blacked out of Cubs games. I live 2 hours from St. Louis and 2 hours from KC and both the Cards and Royals are blacked out.

    I was critical of the McLouth trade, but the Morgan deal is a really, really good one for the Pirates.

    Muskat is reporting Vitters to Daytona.

    For the season, an .880 OPS would be 5th among catchers w/ 150+ PA's.

    My guess is that Cashner's history as a reliever is why they're being very cautious with his workload. If his future is in the pen, then he's still getting his regular innings as it stands now. If he's being groomed as a starter, then he gets to extend himself every 5 days without a huge jump in innings that would leave him susceptible to injury.

    I wonder if Rusin would jump to Peoria if he signed soon.

    I don't see why you think it's not acceptable for GM's to be held t different standards based on payroll. It is clearly an enormous advantage to have a payroll like the Cubs, as opposed to the Pirates or somebody like that. It's enormous. Yes, I'm not saying that we should be super stoked that we have a better record than the Pirates. I am saying it's unfair to criticize the actual success the team has had under Hendry(over teams with big payrolls, small payrolls, negative payrolls, and payrolls with prime numbers) because he took advantage of what he has. Stuff like "thank the Pirates the Cubs made the playoffs in 2003" or "the only reason they made the '07/'08 playoffs was because of their spending spree" is nonsense.
  16. Transmogrified Tiger
    I really don't understand why Hendry is almost criticized for having a higher payroll than another team, or for taking advantage of another team's shortcomings(like the Ramirez trade). His job is to make the best team he can with what he has available to him, he should get credit for doing so. If you want to say he may not be able to do similar things in the future if his resources are more limited(like they are now), that's fine. But to try to diminish Hendry's accomplishments because he capitalized on advantageous circumstances doesn't make any sense. And please, there's no need for the name calling, and I'm not talking about a specific post. A lot of these posts are coming across as pretty angry at an individual, and it's not necessary.

    Fortunately, they all have struck out enough guys to have a K/BB of at least 2(wait, Stevens is 1 K short, so 1.97 or something), they all carry a BAA under .190, and they've given up a combined 4 HR in 119 IP. Also, whether you want to term it "selling high" or whatever, the Cubs definitely got more in return for DeRosa than the Indians did; and from what we can gather as fans, DeRosa seemed to be a much hotter commodity when he was dealt from Cleveland than when Hendry traded him.
  18. Transmogrified Tiger
    Cashner was wild, but effective. 4 IP, 2 H(both 2B), 0 R, 3/3 K/BB. Castro went 1/4 with a BB and K. Everyone hitting for Peoria so far, with 14 runs thru 8. Vitters is 2/5 with a K, Rundle is 4/5 with a 2B, and Flaherty is 2/4 with a BB.

    Their first goal really killed us. I don't think we played it terribly leading up to Luciano receiving the ball, then Spector was right there and was unlucky enough to reach too far to deflect, and the shot was good enough to beat Howard. After that, they had new life. Like USS mentioned, Bradley needed to bring on some fresh legs sooner than he did. And we really missed Mike, so screw you Larriondo or whatever your name is.

    Out of Dempster, Marquis, and who the Cubs have filled Marquis' spot with, Marquis has been the worst. Wood was let go because he was going to be very expensive, his performance is volatile, and he's a huge injury risk. He's been terrible this year, and worse than what the Cubs replaced him with.

    Casey? Really?

    Why is Alves wearing an airplane pillow
  23. Transmogrified Tiger
    Is it any part of the ball or all of the ball that has to cross the line? If it's any part, easy goal, if it has to be all of it, it was very, very close.
  24. Transmogrified Tiger
    Oh Dempsey, needed that first touch
  25. Transmogrified Tiger
    ugh, that was really unlucky
