  1. As for that first part... what does that even mean? "The only reason they managed to finish 4th and win 86 games is because they were lucky enough to have an unbelievable season."
  2. They won 86 games. They WERE good. The only reason they finished 4th is because they played in an awesome division. They didn't "go away". We just were lucky enough to have an unbelievable season. If they win 86 games again this season that means they're probably in the division race right to the end. I don't think they'll be as good as last year, but I think it's ridiculous to ever write that team off at this point. They're the Cardinals. lol there it is

  6. http://www.sawauto.com/uploader/up1/Milton.gif Next time you're going to sub for defense, Lou, put Fuku in RF.
  7. Let's do this. :D http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/6225/DSC_0275.JPG
  8. I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but I would've done Gathright for Bradley... Fuku to RF
  9. Plus a lot more people are on here during the day at work.
  10. no one wants to come in here after you guys ruined these threads last season this
  11. Yea... it was announced last summer, IIRC.
  12. I'm so glad to have baseball games to watch again...
  13. I'm liking the all blue caps on the road.
  14. lol you can't help yourself If ANY Major League pitcher keeps falling behind every single hitter, more times than not he's going to pay for it. Try pulling your head out of your butt long enough to understand basic baseball. woosh
  15. Assume Harden goes down for a significant amount of time and we are forced to add Shark to the rotation. Name one team in the Central that will have a better rotation than the Cubs. Also, name one Central team with a better starting lineup than the Cubs. Go ahead. I'll be waiting patiently for your reply. Using PECOTA, if we give Harden's 155 innings to Shark, the Cubs starting rotation (Z, Lilly, Dempster, Shark, and Marshall) is projected to have a composite ERA of 4.76 over 845 innings, while the Brewers starting rotation (Gallardo, Suppan, Bush, Parra, Looper) is projected to have composite ERA of 4.45 over 800 innings. So, according to PECOTA, the Brewers would have a better rotation. Clearly, there is no NL Central team with a better lineup than the Cubs, but that wasn't the argument. The fact is that inserting Shark instead of Harden gives back every bit of advantage the Cubs have in the rotation and, according to PECOTA, gives the Brewers the better rotation. I'll be waiting patiently for your patronizing reply. ugh, the Shark is a pitcher Pecota just has no idea how to properly forecast. and i hope i don't have to explain the utter impossibility that Lou would have patience enough to give 150 innings to a guy with a 6 ERA The correct response.
  16. There's no stat debate. It's not about gut feelings. Do you see what I'm saying here? I'm not arguing with you about the fact that the possibility exists that the Cubs could lose and the Cardinals could beat us out for the division. I agree with you on that. It's a fact. They could. That says nothing, however, about which team is better. The Cardinals are not better than the Cubs. That's blatantly obvious. holy christ, way to go around in circles... never did i say the cardinals are better than the cubs... You either said that, or you said that their rotation is better than the Cubs if the Cubs lose Harden. Do you realize what the Cardinals' rotation looks like?
  17. if it's not completely 100% obvious, i'm being sarcastic. just covering my butt.
  18. Yea I also always like the "well if so and so gets hurt the Cubs are screwed". I guess when that person gets hurt Hendry isnt allowed to go out and find a replacement, or to find an upgrade during the season. This roster you see now is I guess what we will see for all 162 games according to some. "lol but you can't count on players we don't have yet you idiot"
