  2. This whole quote amazes me but especially the bolded part. Yeah, LaRussa was asleep at the wheel but what could have happened if he wasn't. Just pure ignorance by this idiot. Yeesh.
  3. No, you can be sent back at any time. The Colts did that to a pitcher a year or two ago-their bullpen was very tired and so they pulled up a pitcher from the minors. He got there Sunday morning, went out to the bullpen, and they ended up not using him in the game. He was shipped out that night. The Colts?
  4. Lilly's ERA is lower than Armas' WHIP. Uh oh, that doesn't bode well for the Cubs.
  5. PH Geovany Soto hit a walk-off 3-run HR to give Iowa a 6-5 win.
  6. On the Daytona postgame show, they mentioned that they don't know yet what's wrong with Mitch Atkins but will find out when the D-Cubs come back to Daytona. He's not on the DL, so it seems minor.
  7. Second straight time too: 5 IP, 5 ER, 5 H, 3 K, 3 BB, 1 HR.
  8. Daytona wins 5-4. Amador, Colvin and Chirinos each had 2 hits and a double. Harvey went 0 for 4 with 2 Ks.
  9. 50 pitch count. he hadnt thrown since April 20th due to some tightness. looked good tonight though... Phew. Thank goodness!!
  10. Jose Ceda left the Peoria game after 3 innings. He was doing well too (3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 4 K, 1 BB) - not sure if there was an injury or not. :? The Chiefs already have two injured starting pitchers (Alburquerque and Muldowney).
  11. I've read conflicting reports that Samardzija has good movement on his FB and that he doesn't have movement - both reports from last season.
  12. I'd assume they were mostly ground balls for hits, with there being no XBH, and the lack of XBH for his season. Agreed. But on the flip side, if he isn't striking out too many hitters, that increases the chance of XBHs from better hitters at higher levels.
  13. I'm not trying to place blame on you here B, but the thing you could do differently there is not drive next to someone. Again, I'm not blaming, I'm just pointing out that we need to all change our driving habits and there are things you can do to be safer. Staying away from other cars as much as possible is a good start (especially trucks). I realize in Southern California that is very difficult to do. The other basic thing people can is slow down - particularly when there is lots of traffic, or no shoulder, or construction. The slower you are going, the better your chances. Sounds like that stretch of freeway is unsafe. Urban growth has created a lot of unsafe roads due to space limitations and budget contraints. The 15 between San Bernardino and Vegas is awful. They're doing all sorts of construction projects to help with the traffic and it really tightened up the space on the freeway but people still drive 85+ since they are in the middle of the desert making it really unsafe at times.
  14. Sounds like he'll be pitching for Iowa on Tuesday. They meant for the big league clubs but they could be wrong. There's no need for a 5th starter yet after yesterday's game was postponed. Angel is scheduled to pitch for Iowa tomorrow.
  15. http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/sp/getty/2a/fullj.getty-73920296ge013_mavs_warr_4_06_44_am.jpg Baron and Matt Barnes :) That crowd in Oakland is CRAZY.
  16. I read somewhere (not sure where, sorry) that the Cubs have asked him to only throw 50% fastballs for now so he can work on his change and slider.
  17. is he in AAA? Yes. His stats: 31 IP, 0.29 ERA, 46 K, 11 BB, .119 BAA.
  18. http://nwitimes.com/articles/2007/04/28/sports/top_sports/doc414ac3d14f519616862572ca006d5205.txt
  19. Geez, call him up already. And start him. 0.29 ERA. 14 Ks yesterday.
  20. Justin Hickman signed with the Redskins.
  21. Yeah, I was hoping for a G and a T (and hoping the G could slide over to C in a pinch). The 7th rounder probably will end up playing G in the NFL (*if* he plays in the NFL), so the Bears didn't even address T. That definitely was the most disappointing thing for me.
  22. Ugh, within 10 miles of Fred. Must escape... (Did you know snoodmonger works in Glendale? True story.)
  23. Apparently the run the Smokies scored to win it on an RBI groundball was actually a busted suicide squeeze. Donnie Veal on his best outing of the season: Also:
