    Was that a car commercial during the game? Wow, how lame.
  2. CaliforniaRaisin
    Gah, the Bulls can't stop Antoine Walker. All he's doing is driving in. Geez.
  3. CaliforniaRaisin
    Wade back in.
  4. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa ends up losing 9-1, Peoria loses 1-0. SWM scored 1 in the top of the 9th off Billek thanks to a double and two sac flies. :(
  5. CaliforniaRaisin
    Geez, stop Antoine Walker!! Yay, Noc!

    Iowa now down 8-1 in the bottom of the 8th. Valdes (4 ER in 4.1), Brownlie (2 ER in 0.2), O'Malley (1 ER in 1) and Shipman (1 ER in 0.2 IP so far) have all given up runs, while Emanuel had a shutout inning. Right now, there are 2 outs in the 8th with 2 on and Mike Rivera is due up against Andy Shipman. Felix Pie is down to .272. The Jaxx are down 1-0 in the 6th. Chris Walker's single and Luis Montanez' walk represent the only two baserunners the Jaxx have had so far. Peoria and SW Michigan are scoreless going into the 9th. Koerber (in his 2006 debut) and Billek have continued Veal's shutout.

    Especially with the game being in Miami.
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    Haha, the refs suck.
  9. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ouch.

    What does that mean? Means that he came advertised as the next great thing but can't get it together at the major league level. I know Guzman's sample size is small to this point, but I see similarities nonetheless. Great arm strength but too much nibbling, too many walks, little confidence. He wasn't ready to be promoted and you've already decided what his career path will be like after 2 big league starts?
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    Ugh.
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Thanks, that's good to hear!
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    Hey Carlos, thank you for taking your time to answer our questions! Do you think it's easier to convert from catcher to pitcher as opposed to any other position to pitcher? The Cubs have talked about you possibly being a future closer. What would you prefer, starting or relieving? Keep up the good work in West Tenn!
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    Thanks for taking your time to answer our questions, David. First of all, how did it feel to get traded from the Giants system to the Cubs last season? Last season, your velocity on your fastball was reportedly down, but it has returned to form this season. Do you know why it was down last season and how it came back this season? I hope you're back with the big league team soon!
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yup, that's the hope. He was struggling at AAA, he's obviously still working back from the missed time (which is why I was hoping the Cubs wouldn't promote him yet).
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    I was wondering, do you know what pitches Mitch throws? He's certainly been impressive so far this season.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    sure, the bucks are playing the pistons pretty well too, but i don't care, i'm a bulls fan. I'm a Bulls fan first, but it is exciting seeing a team that has always been bad do well - and have a chance to beat my most hated player in the next round. It's just an automatic anti-Lakers thing.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    He was a good option in Oregon's offense but was pretty inconsistent. Better receiver than blocker.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Probable Starters: Iowa: LHP Raul Valdes (1-0, 3.60 ERA, 15 IP, 8/6) @ LHP Justin Thompson (1-0, 5.65 ERA) West Tenn: LHP JR Mathes (2-2, 5.40 ERA, 25 IP, 15/2) vs RHP Carlos Villanueva (2-2, 5.26 ERA) Peoria: LHP Donnie Veal (2-2, 3.12 ERA, 26 IP, 26/14) vs. RHP Mike Wlodarczyk (1-1, 1.65 ERA)
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Somehow, this doesn't shock me.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    doesn't mean much. Remember when Woody went 5-0 in 2004 ST. Yea, we don't want to go there, but just sayin ST doesnt mean diddly. And then looked the best he's ever looked until his injury in LA...
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    First time pitching in a couple of weeks. Hopefully he just needs to build back his arm strength or he was on a pitch count.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Blame IowaCubs.com. I took the info before Hill was promoted.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    The LA Clippers won their first playoff series in 30 years - and their first playoff series in California. Next stop, beat Kobe and the Lakers!
