    What I got from AZ Phil was that Alfonso Soriano's defense in CF is going to make us miss Juan Pierre. Yeesh. And Cliff Floyd's probably should be DHing in the AL. He would have to be pretty bad to make up for the major increase in offensive production. The Cliff Floyd thing really is a concern though. No doubt, his bat will make more than make up for it. But his D is going to be brutal.

    Seriously. And I know of two Chiefs fans on this board, one of them should step up. TT took the Chiefs, and I've volunteered to double up and take the Bills...all we need is someone to take Cinci. I'll do it if Rocket doesn't go for it.

    Why does US soccer piss me off so much? So frustrating!

    Tim or 1908 I believe. Correct.

    If you remember, it seemed like the Cubs' choice was down to Pawelek or Luke Hochevar...the Cubs might have had a better chance at signing Hochevar than the Dodgers.

    Better than last time out (and we felt that was a good game), according to Bruce. The defense really failed him. Bruce opined that Prior is about 3 weeks away from being big league-ready. 3 IP, 0 ER, 3 R, 2 H, 3 K, 2 BB, 2 WP, 60 pitches (37 strikes)

    Oh, I forgot about Jacobson. Taylor King is definitely a 3 as you said, he's not going to guard Love. Howland is pretty high on the Wear twins - it'll be interesting to see if they can pack a little meat on their soon-to-be 7-foot frames.

    How was the velocity on his pitches? There are no radar readings readily available here. We'll have to get the readings later, but he looked appreciably better this time out. His defense let him down, ran up his pitch count and probably cost him an inning of work. How far away would you guess he is from pitching in the rotation? 2-3 weeks to a month. Ahh, that's not too bad considering he's around 60 pitches right now.

    Check out the Great American Dream Vote thread in Social... link I really should pay more attention to those Social threads.

    Aww, only 60 pitches. Thanks, Bruce! 3 IP, 3 ER, 0 R, 2 H, 3 K, 2 BB, 2 WP Am I dyslexic or are you? :lol: Grr. 3 IP, 3 R, 0 ER, 2 H, 3 K, 2 BB, 2 WP
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    Helton and Holliday surely did help prior right there.... i wonder how many pitches we will go today? Gameday's pitch counts are off. They are assuming all contact is made on the first pitch, all strikeouts are happening on 3 pitches and walks on 4 pitches.

    GEEZ, get with the times, Chris.

Top 3RD B:0 S:0 O:2 Matt Holliday pops out to second baseman Mark DeRosa. Top 3RD B:1 S:0 O:2 With Steve Finley batting, wild pitch by Mark Prior, Garrett Atkins to 2nd. Top 3RD B:1 S:3 O:3 Steve Finley strikes out swinging. Mark Prior: 3 IP, 3 R, 0 ER, 2 H, 3 K/2 BB, 2 WP

    No runs scored off Prior in the third!
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    Garrett Atkins with the leadoff walk.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Another long wait for an update. Not good. :(
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    I wonder if Rockies fans huddle around their computers with bated breath waiting for the bottom of the inning to be updated to see how Cook pitched.
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Good to hear (though I don't like the missing high on his FB bit). Thanks!!
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Thanks, Bruce. How has he looked, is he improving from his last time out despite the defense?
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    According to Gameday, he's only thrown 19 pitches. :D Yeah, I don't think they're doing a good job of tracking the number of pitches.
