    What team do you see winning 90?? This group of wildcard contenders don't look too strong. Anyone know what's the lowest win total to take the wildcard?? I don't know.. but in 2003 we took the division with only 87... :)

    I do share your optimism, but I don't think 2/3 is enough. We'd only gain one game on them... while 5.5 out with that many left to play isn't a horrible situation, it's not all that much better than where we're at now... So, how about we just get that sweep you were talking about?? :wink:

    I like the idea of Lawton, Griffey and Corey. Put a fork in Burnitz. I like it too... Maybe if we can pull off a miracle and sweep the 'Stros, Hendry will make a big move like that.... Why do I always get my hopes up???
  4. David
    OH! And then DFA BeerLeague Burnitz. I'd venture to say that Corey, at this point, is a better CF than Griffey...

    Or good coaching, something the Cubs sorely lack. Yeah, LaRussa goes and swings the bat for these scrubs. gmab Yea.. I don't think most Cards fans would agree that LaRussa is a good manager... They were all over him for his first 7 years there...

    WTF?? I was sure that was gone.. that Frank Rodriguez mope caught that???!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

    Better than Walker this year, (especially hitting for the cycle) and he is still better than Walker defensively. In what world is .299/.339/.419 better than .296/.346/.456?

    I like this lineup... Almost (if not) perfect...
  9. David
    1,2,3 in the first.

    Aren't you in Chicago? You go to DePaul, right? Or did you go back home for the summer?
  11. David
    yes, yes it its. It's very quiet in here. Shhhhhh Sounds like they might keep you with the Braves/D'Backs game once the Cubs game starts, Der...

    Did regular WGN have all those weird technical difficulties just now too, or was it just WGN-HD?

    2002 I wonder if 20 wins in a row would be enough to solve all of our non-Dusty problems and save the season... :-k
  14. David
    D-Lee!! Damn this Jekyll and Hyde team..
  15. David
    Corey!!!! :D :D :D

    Basehit Todd.. 2 on nobody out!
  17. David
    He's playing.

    3 fly ball outs and a single... Let's see what the O can do.

    Anyone know when or for whom Davey Johnson last managed? I always remember him during his time with the Mets. Dodgers, 2000... Before that, he was with the Orioles, back when they were pretty good in the mid-90's... (Alomar spitting incident, Jeffrey Maier)

    Simple mathematics would suggest that if increased walk totals were always the result of improved plate discipline, then decreased strikeout totals would be another result. But while Sammy's walk rate improved from .065 in 1997 to .101 in 1998, an increase of 3.5%, his strikeout rate remained pretty consistant (.251-.241, a 1% change). Sammy may have become somewhat more selective when he changed his approach in '98. But I think his increased walk totals were more due to the fact that he batted in way more situations where he knew he wasn't going to get anything to hit. High strikeout totals do not equal bad plate discipline. Nor does plate discipline equal low strikeout totals. There are plenty of examples of hitters who strike out a lot but know the strikezone very well. Adam Dunn and Mark Bellhorn are some extreme examples.

    For reference, Patterson has a .075 IsoD at AAA. That's actually somewhat surprising/impressive. Of course, it is a small sample size, and he's hitting like .240.. He has been doing much better lately, though.
  22. David
    THat's right but he did well in spite of that fact. I'm not talking about the obscene power or walks. In his prime, sammy hit for average as well. Patterson with a line of .300/.350/.500, 30hrs, 100rbi would be alright with me. I'd take that too. But if strike zone judgement is the problem, then I don't see him ever developing it. And when has CPatt ever bat .300 in a full year? Single A? And the .350 OBP- wow, that would be something. I don't see it. Those numbers are is absolute upside, but more realistically: .270/.330/25/70 is what we can hope for, and he's got a long way to go. Not worth it, imo. Those numbers are basically exactly what he put up last year (only a little short on all of them, mostly due to a horrendous final month)..

    Sammy completely changed his stance and approach in 98...He became more patient at the plate and also started hitting the ball to all fields. From there came the improved average and power numbers... We could go on like this for hours, though. It's the chicken or the egg argument.
  24. David
    How can you say that a guy who from 99-2003 never had an IsoP lower than .079.. (.079, .086, .111, .111, and .079) never developed any strike zone judgement? Regardless of why it was, he was drawing walks throughout his prime years... Somebody with no judgement of the zone doesn't do that.
  25. David
    Yeah, they're confusing our Maddux with the mid-1990s Maddog Except the stats they showed on Maddux vs. the Mets were from 2001 on.. :wink:
