Re: Championships in your lifetime

The Cubs, Mizzou, and the Cavaliers. So no. -
Does anyone get more game changing calls in their favor than the Italians? Ridiculous that this would happen to us again.
-
I hate the Italians, I really hope we thrash them. Won't happen, but I want to give them the beating we earned against them in '06.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-14-2009

How do you suppose the coach at Furman feels about not making him a full time starter now? Well, he played the outfield when he wasn't pitching, but he threw 100 innings his Junior year, and started only 2 fewer games as a Sophomore. There's not a ton more he could've done as a pitcher, at least in game action. -
It's about time to get this started again

Yeah, someone else can take my team, I don't think I'm gonna keep going. -
Nomar.
-
What in the world is Harris complaining about?
-
Did he even get to the mound? My thought was he made some sort of comment(maybe sarcastic) about the sun to the bullpen.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-14-2009
Transmogrified Tiger replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
This is his first start since being hurt. -
Perry is a good hitting coach who preaches the right things. However, we have pretty much wholesale underachievement from the offense, a staggering number of people performing below projections. If there was a situation where the hitting coach could be blamed, this might be it. Joshua's promotion is very well deserved. And if any coaching change could make a tangible impact on how the hitters are going to perform, I think this would be it. However, I think there's a lost opportunity to have Joshua be involved with the more formative development for players in our system, and that's something that's crucial in a system with so little history of coaching up hitters well. All in all, I can't fault the team for doing this, but if the hitting continues to underachieve then I think it will have been a mistake. Because odds are now Joshua won't go back to being a minor league hitting coach, and his talents will be wasted on those who either don't need his instruction, won't listen to it from being in the majors too long, or are beyond his help from being in baseball too long.

What day does that one fall on? I have tickets to pretty much every game next week. Wednesday. And it's buck night too.
-
I'm pretty sure I'll be there next week for Greinke v. Scherzer. I'm very excited.
-
I've been trying to tell you that Reesing sucks for a couple years now.
-
Someone on SBI commented that this could give us leeway to push Edu to center back and Bocanegra out wide defensively? Any thoughts?
-
Picks I really liked: Raley, Kirk, Springfield, Whitenack Picks I thought were good: Rusin, Taylor, Erickson, Bour, Sheppard Picks I didn't really like: Jackson, LeMahieu, Darvill

Draft perspective
Transmogrified Tiger replied to NonProfitCow's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I'm not much of a draftnik, but here goes. Miller seems to be a great pick from all I've read. However, it is a bit scary to have to invest 4 million dollars into a guy when his fastball is the only real pitch of note right now. Stock as a hitter doesn't seem like it will work out, I have a hard time seeing someone who can't hit higher than .226 in college being a good professional hitter. As a pitcher he definitely could be something. I wonder if Stock will rub against the Cardinals brass in that aspect. If Kelly ends up as Ryan Madson then he's definitely worth the pick, and his stuff won't be the shortcoming. A lot of hits from college competition with that stuff though. Jackson and Bittle are decent value guys. Maybe one of them regains their form(did Jackson have an injury?) and you look real smart for popping them as late as they did. Also, Raisin doesn't like Jackson. -

The Cubs took a pitcher from the De La Salle Institute in Chicago, Escovel(?) was his last name.
