    New stuff on Prior... http://www.cubsfx.com/2008/06/did-mark-priors-career-begin-to-end-in.html

    Or not. You really don't know anything about him to know whether or not it's a terrible choice. Sure, he has no formal coaching experience (he has "coached" with the Suns during his time there, although obviously not from the bench). I'd sure as hell take it over one of these retreads we were looking at. Given the fact that Paxson has interviewed him (and a ton of other candidates) and I'm sure done a fair amount of research and still put his ass on the line with him, I'll give it time before I deem it a "terrible, terrible" choice. My hope is that he's a D'Antoni type of guy. There's really no way of knowing, though, until we hear (and see) more about him.

    Yep. Says he's gonna pull out all the stops. I really like what I'm hearing and the fact that it's so important to him is encouraging. I could see him doing everything possible to try and sway things in his favor. Not holding my breath but definitely keeping my fingers crossed.

    Cuban interview is the first thing that comes up on the podcast.
  6. David
    Was about to post that. Thanks. Now to listen.

    I was as frustrated as Brenly with the pitch selection to Pierre in the 9th, especially when you consider the way they were playing him defensively.
  8. David
    You can't be serious, especially about the last part.
  9. David
    Anyone hear it? If so, what did he say? If not (well, either way), I will post a link to a podcast as soon as one is available.

    yep, he is a pretty emotionless pitcher... :confused: ha ha, you're right. he's always pointing at the sky, screaming in rage and showing up opposing hitters on strikeouts. ha ha...maybe somewhere along the line here the definition of emotion has been lost...i didn't say anything about it being nice to see hill freak out and have an emotional outburst...i just said emotion...feel free to run to the highest mountain on it if you want to And what exactly about Maddux's mound demeanor screams (or even whispers, for that matter) emotion to you?

    I really wish people wouldn't complain about LOB totals. It's a good thing. It's what happens when you have a high OBP team. The Cubs lead the NL in runs scored. They're one off the MLB lead.
  12. David
    Off the top of my head, there are at least 2-3 more deserving SS's in the NL.

    BTW, Shaq just as obvious as LeBron.
  14. David
    LeBron has probably been the most obvious #1 overall pick since Jordan, yes Ironic that there was an obvious #1 overall pick in Jordan's draft and he wasn't it.
  15. David
    Put a player the quality of Scottie Pippen at LeBron's side, and you're likely to see him win multiple rings.
  16. David
    Do you like Jerry Reinsdorf?
  17. David
    Which is A-OK with me. I'm LOVING how patient he's been so far this season. I hope he keeps it up. There's nothing wrong with striking out (there IS something wrong with being a bad hitter, some of which do happen to strike out a lot). Except having to listen to baseball idiots complain about it on the radio/tv all the time.
  18. David
    Despite what 99% of the general baseball population thinks, more patience will typically = more strikeouts. It's not rocket science, people.

    http://markderosa.mlblogs.com/ I thought this was pretty funny (it's from his second most recent post)...
  20. David
    I don't know if you can break it down within a season, but here's his season stats: 2008 - 17.7% LD%, 48.8% GB% 2007 - 20.6% LD%, 41.2% GB% 2006 - 20.3% LD%, 41.3% GB% 2005 - 22.0% LD%, 38.6% GB% His 2006 and 2007 seasons were remarkably consistent. He's flatout struggling in this regard so far this season, although I'm sure his April rates would look a lot different. Jon...what's considered a LD/ground ball/Flyball? Are you asking what a good ratio is? Or how those percentages are actually tallied and determined?
  21. David
    abuck has jokes :shock:
  22. David
    No wonder they make no sense when they can't understand the basics. Non-Save Appearances--11 Saves-16 Blown Saves -4 Save %-75% That's an 80% rate. Wow. That is some tasty irony.
  23. David
    Funny, to me it looks like Wood has done well in 1-2 run games and beefed up his stats with a few 3+ run saves.
  24. David
    That doesn't mean I don't want one. I definitely do. Seeing this team go into a playoff series with this offense and two shutdown starters would be nothing short of beautiful.
  25. David
    He's just being realistic. We need another starter if we want to go deep into October. We really don't. It would certainly be nice. But we don't NEED it. The MLB playoffs are quite a bit of a crapshoot, with or without dominant pitching. What we need to do is win 3 out of 5, then 4 out of 7, and 4 out of 7 again. :wink:
