    GEEZ. Marmol gives up his THIRD homer of the game (a monster shot from Gabriel Martinez) and it's now 4-0 Mobile with one out in the second. Well, Marmol settles down with a flyout, K and groundout. 4-0 in the middle of the second, WT down.

    The Jaxx are already down 3-0 in the bottom of the first innning.

    Well, he hasn't done much since coming to eh Cubs but he has too much previous success to expect that his poor performance will continue indefinitely, so, no, I'm not fed up with him. Although he does have a history of struggling in the second half. :|
  4. CaliforniaRaisin
    That's much better, Mark.

    Bunt, would've been out at first, but the throw sailed well wide of first and went way down the first base line. Tie game. Thanks. Let's go, Prior.

    How did Corey get all the way to third on a throwing error?
  7. CaliforniaRaisin
    Thanks!
  8. CaliforniaRaisin
    You failed.

    He's injured, his last start was on 8/2. Donald Veal has replaced him in the rotation ever since. No clue what the injury is. No, he pitched on 8/14. He just didn't do that well. Interesting. I stumbled on something from cubs.com about that start, but couldn't match up the dates. That means there's a good chance Darin will start today. Unfortunately, it looks like you're right about Avery going tonight. He started on the 13th, so possibly Downs tomorrow. Yeah, Downs should go tomorrow (didn't count their off day yesterday). I guess that means Michael Hyle was bumped from the rotation (despite not doing too bad as a starter).

I stumbled on something from cubs.com about that start, but couldn't match up the dates with the box scores in the forum, so I just assumed Carrie Muskat had made a mistake. This means there's a good chance Darin will start today.

    You needed proof to validate your assumption? Common sense would've saved you time. :) every once in a while i like to throw some facts in there to back up my wild accusations...just for something different. :D I'm waiting for you to toss in a capital letter or two "just for something different." :P

    Shhh, making fun of Raisin is much better. He's right, you know, Derwood. Are you sure? I swear that everyone saw it but the umpires and that Kim or the catcher or someone grabbed it up before he got booted. I wouldn't know where to go and look for a box score that far back... From what I remember, it was trash (like a hot dog wrapper) that was just flying around but really didn't come out of Kim's sleeve. I definitely remember Kim getting ejected for this. And ignore Jon and CPatt20 (Jon's just jealous of my memory which can remember in-game incidents from 1999 :)). And Enrique Principle is gold. :lol:

    It'd help if he didn't bite on those low-and-away sliders (it sounds like that pitch is what is giving him the most difficulty). Laying off on those pitches shouldn't hurt his power numbers.

    I don't know if this was your doing or someone else with the Chiefs front office, but I'd like to thank whomever lists the pitching probables for the week ahead on the web site. It makes things so much easier as I look for Peoria's pitching opponents for our game threads!
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Anyone else remember Kim's rookie year when Mark Grace got him ejected for that flying trash that Grace claimed came out of Kim's sleeve?

    To change the subject from attractive ladies who are dating Tony Parker, BA says that UNC's LHP Andrew Miller has been dominating in the Cape Cod League this summer and has made himself the early favorite for the top pick overall. He still has control problems, though. RHP Daniel Bard, also a Tar Heel, is the second best prospect in the Cape Cod League and Mr. Longoria comes in at third.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    Thanks, I'll get that box posted.
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Mesa's box is up. Rough start for Pawelek, but looks like yesterday was a good night for those who own Olin Wick baseball cards.
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Exactly. That's an awful attitude to coaching.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    It works for David Wells...
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    BA recently ranked the Cubs most recent 4 or 5 drafts as the best in all of baseball.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Which is why the Cubs farm system is routinely ranked in the top 10 in all of baseball.

    All boxes (except Mesa) up. Nice to see Peoria and Daytona both have a chance at the postseason still. And congrats to Brandon Sing.
