  1. For all the (well-deserved) criticism Dusty received about his handling of young players, Lou has been just as bad. Pie, Cedeno, Marshall, Hill...it's amazing Soto wasn't benched in favor of Blanco after his K streak. ETA: His handling of Murton last year was terrible as well, and it took for too long for him to give Soto ABs over Jason flipping Kendall.
  2. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/cubs/925768,CST-SPT-cuban01.article This same theory is mentioned in a few other articles about Cuban's visit last night, too. Mariotti - http://www.suntimes.com/sports/mariotti/925764,mariotti050108.article Even though a lot of (most?) Chicago fans hate Mariotti, I have to give him credit for really pushing the Cuban story and putting it out there as much as possible. The more public support for Mark, the better. Trib - http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/cs-080430-mark-cuban-chicago-cubs,1,1187833.story This visit also seems to be coinciding with the time around which the Cubs were said to be opening up their books to prospective bidders.
  3. hey guys, missed the start of the game. any particular reason fontenot is starting over cedeno today?
  4. It's a good thing LaRussa and his genius-level IQ are around to make up for it.
  5. why intentionally walk blanco? he's just as easy of an out as Lilly and they would've led off the next inning facing the pitcher. whatever, lilly made them pay anyway.
  6. hey guys just checkin in. in 25 words or less, what's the story tonight?
  7. Hill and a taxed Cubs pen though... although Lieber will be coming off back-to-back days off, so he should be good to go if the starter gets in any trouble.
  8. who's coming up to tie it for the pirates in the bottom of the inning?
  9. I guess Jason Marquis would be a possibility. Didn't someone say he was sent back to the hotel because he was feeling sick? Not that he wouldn't have had time to come back to the park by now...
  10. Murton. He could...but isn't he still in the minors? Or am I a complete idiot? Yes, unfortunately, that adorable little redhead is still in the minors.
  11. If so, we should re-work the rotation so he faces up against Dempster.
  12. Doesn't Hill's turn in the rotation come right after Dempster anyway? Or did he and Marquis switch this time around?
  13. He came in with a 3-run lead. You've got to let him get out on the mound and straighten himself out, and if you're not going to do it in three run games, when are you going to do it. Ah, I thought it was a 2 run lead, my mistake. Well hopefully the Cubs offense wakes up and can be up by 4+ so Howry can get things straightened out, because right now he is terrible. In general, you're right; the offense needs to start producing more. But in today's case, there's not much more they could have done. They scored 8 runs. Howry and Marquis should both be thankful. Speaking of, my main thought from today's game is that it sucks that our 9th best starter is in our rotation.
  14. Oh I understand that. I just don't get how the Cubs could truly consider giving him a bullpen spot. 26 years old, almost no major league experience, pretty poor stats in the minors. There's plenty of pitchers in camp with more talent than that.
  15. What's the point of Tim Lahey?
  16. FJM had a field day with that one. http://www.firejoemorgan.com/2008/03/theres-war-brewing.html
  17. It's simple, really. Dempster keeps the whole team loose and relaxed in the clubhouse with his funny jokes and pranks. In turn, the team is more productive. A rotation spot is the obvious reward for the crucial role Dempster plays on this team. Once Marquis starts telling jokes, he can get the same treatment as Dempster.
  18. Hey guys, I was just wondering if you could point me in the direction of the Human Resources office. I'm really hoping to become a professional message board poster, and I want to pass along my resume.
  19. bd811: Dayn Perry is the worst writer in baseball
  20. Would Mike Mussina have a legitimate shot? I was trying to think if any starting pitchers hadn't been mentioned, and he's about the best name I could come up with. ERA+ of 122 for his career.
