Just got in and saw. Winning 13-2, very impressive. And that's a sweep against the Wolfpack! :D
-
Oddly enough, I've seen a lot of Illini fans criticizing Dee Brown and calling him overrated (and I agree with them). Of course that must make me a hater, even though I don't care about some school in downstate Illinois.
-
I would like to go to Staples to check out the Pac-10 tourney, but UCLA is playing during the day on Thursday (what's up with having the #1 seed play at 2 in the afternoon??). Maybe the final on Saturday if the Bruins get there.

Excuse me but, shouldn't he be pitching? For what reason do they keep pushing him back? ST games have now started and he's still not throwing to hitters! The only pitchers I see still not throwing are pitchers that are hurt. Not saying he is hurt, but there is something definitely going on here and the Cubs don't seem to be honest about it, big surprise. I think this is slightly past the "oh, but there's nothing to be worried about" stage, cuz quite honestly, if you're not, you should be. I know I am.It simply is not normal for a MLB Pitcher at this stage of camp to not even be throwing to hitters and to be "delayed". I don't see the point in getting bent out of shape now over this news - this isn't worthy of actually getting worked up about. Either you should be worried already about why Prior hasn't faced live batters (like you are) or not be worried yet. I can't see how this is the tipping point.

Mark Holliman-RHP(05 draftee)
CaliforniaRaisin replied to Rebel_Cubbie's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
He didn't sign in time to play in the system last year. He'll start the year at Peoria or Daytona. -
So they pushed him back a couple of days and Paul Sullivan freaks out. Sounds about right for Sullivan.
-
I'll have to TiVo the game, I have work. :(
-
But now I've graduated!! I'll definitely check out a few games this year. EDIT: Not sure where my last post went.
-
Yay UNC!
-
Per the OC Register, he topped out at 95 or 96 last week. Let me see if I can find a link. He's been getting quite some love in the local papers, I was just surprised to see him projected in the first round. He looks thinner than Marshall in the pics I've seen.
-
Latos sounds intriguing (I've read a little something about Drabek, Walden and Jeffress too). What are your thoughts on Chris Tillman?

Pitching targets
CaliforniaRaisin replied to CP_414's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
After the top 3 (and Miller IF he is healthy), none of those guys are starters for a playoff team, and that's what our focus should be. I'm more upset that Hendry didn't land us a #3 or #4 starter this offseason as I am with the JJ signing. How many starters does a playoff team need come playoff time? The Cubs have enough depth right now to plug in some pitchers to try and get 5th-starter production. -
I'll be in that part of the stadium on Wednesday. I love getting the pavillion seats by the Cubs bullpen, there are so many Cubs fans around (plus the $8/seat is very tempting - it used to be $6 till this year).
-
Psh, I beat you to it already. And I spelled it correctly. :P
-
Hopefully guys like Marshall and Marmol will come in from the pen tomorrow. And we should see one of Dope or Sing start at 1B. :)
-
It would be nice if one of the UNC pitchers, Stubbs, Scherzer or Kennedy fell to the Cubs at 13, but it doesn't look probable right now. Don't know much about the HS kids outside the local ones (Tillman, Rapoport, Stoffel, Parmelee). By the way, a BA projected first round from February had the Cubs taking Georgia Tech 3B Wes Hodges.
-
Consecutive wins over top-20 teams. :) Beat NC State again out in Raleigh!
-
Apparently when they play the Dodgers, they stay at the Ritz Carlton Huntington in Pasadena.
-
congrats Raisin. Thanks! :D
-
Dopirak!
-
UCLA 75 Stanford 54 Pac-10 champs!
-
I suspect that they'll all play, regardless of who starts. True, but I hope a couple of them start so I can see them play more!!
-
I hope a bunch of the young'ns (Moore, Dope, Sing) are starting and pitching tomorrow since the game is on TV.
-
I'm in as 11Banners.
-
Dope and Moore! It'll be like a WT game!
