I thought Pat still did a one man booth, with some guy in the background who occasionally says "yeah..."
-
We should call up Ceda because Marmol is inconsistent ...
Bote McBoteface replied to CubbieBum's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
...what about Marshall/Cotts in that potential bullpen? We have enough bullpen arms, honestly. -
Soriano is having a career year??? :-k saying soto is having a career year in his 1st full season in the big leagues doesn't really make sense, either. He's also having his worst offensive season of his career. What a bum.
-
He's had 3 bad starts...I'm quite a bit unconcerned.
-
I'm talking eastern, and it looks like closer to 2:00 than 3:00. Lets just score Soriano here and then win 1-0 in 5 innings.
-
For what it's worth, the forecast I'm looking at calls for rain to begin at around 2:00-3:00. We COULD get 5 innings in.
-
The amount that Geovany Soto owns them on a scale from 1-10?
-
I go to Wrigley to watch Lee hit into double plays.
-
I just assumed it was how many years since their last winning season.

Best Playoff Rotation in Baseball?

That made me laugh a bit. -
Bad news. Very bad news.

It helps that the Brewers are among the league leaders in IP by starters (meaning their bullpen has thrown fewer innings than just about everyone else), but I agree that it seems to be pretty unsustainable. There's something to be said about winning close games, but 24 of their 74 wins being by 1 run is pretty ridiculous. And maybe I'm being a bit of a homer here (and feel free to call me out on it if this is silly), but I don't think the Brewers' bullpen is as bad as it's been made out to be. Everyone looks at Gagne's problems and thinks it's indicative of the entire bullpen struggling, but the bullpen ERA is right around league average. ESPN.com has their current team ERA ("as reliever" split) at 3.88, good enough for 6th in the NL. The Cubs are 5th at 3.86. Again, it probably helps that they pitch so few innings lately, but they're far from atrocious. I think you've been far from a homer. I have actually enjoyed reading the objectivity in your posts, and I hope you continue to share with this board.

As if Dusty would allow that. -
Lee has GOT to stop doing that. Seriously.
-
I read "Zambrano breaks his..." and started reaching for some razor blades. Thank goodness I decided to read the rest of the thread first.
-
Don't know why we made a game thread, season ended yesterday anyways. .....sorry.
-
I know they aren't, but for some reason those look like throwback jerseys to me. The Cubs will probably never get rid of the pin stripes though.

If MVP really means MVP, Soriano should win it.
Bote McBoteface replied to ChiCubsfan0502's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
What's the Cub's record when Felix Pie starts? Could he be a sleeper for the MVP award? -
Oh, I know it happens all the time, I was wondering if there was something specific that turned scouts off about him that he improved on, or if it was just a case where he actually came out of nowhere.
-
This is completely random and unimportant, but something that I just noticed is that Harden was a 17th round draft pick. What exactly were teams missing for those first 16 rounds? I know this is hindsight, but still...I would have expected that he'd be a bit higher up than that.
-
Wow, what the heck was I thinking here. I had that all types of backwards. I'm sure somebody has pointed out how dumb I am by now, haven't read.
-
Hm...since we already won today, maybe we should be rooting for the Brewers, so that the Dodgers can jump into a first place tie? Nah

HANKY HANK HANK

the answer to that poll has to be the Mets.
