Barry Rozner continues his stupidity....how does a person like this have a job at a semi-major paper in a major market? All his pieces are either Greg Maddux fluff pieces or the most horrendous ideas imaginable. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=212307
Hopefully next year, because it'll take a lot of losses until it goes back around to him. Maybe not a lot, but I'd like the Cubs to go 133-29. :wink: Speaking of starting game threads, what happens if the Cubs make the playoffs? Does the game thread starter list keep on going? I've noticed that with the rate the Cubs are playing, I might not start until the NLDS if the Cubs make it. Last year we set up a new rotation for the playoffs with the best regular season starters getting the nod. A lot of good that did us.
Honestly ... I'm scared as hell to play them. They took 2 of 3 at St. Louis. Don't be. And we were a bad bullpen decision (Chad Fox) or a couple of dropped fly balls (Sori) away from winning that series.
UMFan brought up the 2001 Cubs the other day... If anything, I'm thinking the 2008 Cards are a lot like the 2001 Cubs, without one of their players having one of the best offensive seasons ever. That team got by on smoke and mirrors just about as bad as this one, maybe worse since we hung around in first place for so long.
I swear, everytime I watch a Cards game on Gameday, when I see, "In play, run(s)," I get all excited only to see that it's a damn DP... :banghead: Oh well, at least they tied it.
Gallagher goes Friday. It's a good way to keep his innings number slightly down to move him back a couple days in certain situations like this. He's still very young. It's not great to have him throwing too many innings, and the Cubs may need him to stay in the rotation the rest of the year. I'm hoping those two can keep it rolling the next two days. They really have been pitching well in June. During the game, Pat said Demp fri, Gallagher Sat, Marshall Sun That looks like a bad series. Doesn't look all that bad to me... I thought Marshall pitched better than he looked last night. Somehow the O's were managing to score every single baserunner that they got.
No doubt in my mind. He's been throwing that back door slider for awhile. Looks like it'll be outside, but catches the corner. It's a good pitch, even though it doesn't break down very much. I think he's trying to say that Marmol missed his spot by a wide margin if he was trying to go outside and hit the inside corner. Either way, I think Marmol's MO has basically been that he's effectively wild. His stuff is so nasty that he generally doesn't have to hit spots all that well.
wtf? It would appear that he thinks everything on the site must be baseball related ot it's out of line. Which, if you pay attention, is clearly the case. I believe I'm also the 1st person to ever have their kid in their avatar. (Or maybe not if you check the game thread starter from the 4 before today) no. it's just God awful to look at. period... wtf?
