    Different sporting events, different atmospheres. I'm going to go nuts at the Bruin Den at Pauley or the Rose Bowl, but that's to be expected (and I'll still watch the game). But this sort of going nuts has nothing to do with the wave, which is stupid. Leave the wave to Dodger fans.

    Check the link for the 20 questions, mostly about his uncle and cruises. No questions about switching to the OF... There was even a pic in there: http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/images/2006/08/10/VugNwn8T.jpg

    Go Gooz!

    I wonder if arbitration will be worth more than what another team offers? The way Pierre has been hitting lately, I think some team (watch, it'd be the Cubs) will give him a ridiculous deal that will be worth more than arbitration.

    Jiminez looked good in his brief stint in Boise (though he still walked too many guys, imo...of course so does Yepez).

    Plz throw the ball to Craig Bragg, Bars. Thank you. Yay on the TD.

    Boise wins it 8-2. Pawelek's ERA is down to 2.66 (though MiLB.com will say otherwise, since they're wrong). It's his first appearance of the season with no HBPs or BBs. It's Mark's second pro win. Mesa is down 6-4 in the bottom of the 6th inning. Cuevas-Novas had 2 shutout innings, gave up 1 hit and getting 3 Ks. Leonel Perez then came in for the 6th and struggled, giving up 4 runs (3 ER) on 4 H and a walk.
  10. CaliforniaRaisin
    Hey hey, all these Bears posts are making the Cubs thread bigger, giving people the incorrect impression that this game is interesting.
  11. CaliforniaRaisin
    He's been topping out around 84-85 mph at Peoria and West Tenn.
  12. CaliforniaRaisin
    Yes, let's bench Grossman after the first preseason game. :roll:
  13. CaliforniaRaisin
    Alfred Joseph HBP, warnings issued. Boise is playing Everett, these two teams got into a brawl last time around that was partially instigated by Joseph and that HBP definitely had something to do with the brawl. Peoria lost 3-1. Mesa up 4-2 after 4. Rundle has the night off, Andersen is 0 for 0 with 2 BBs. Parker went 3 (gave up 2 ER on 4 H and a K) and Cuevas-Novas relieved him with a shutout inning.
  14. CaliforniaRaisin
    I bet Sotolongo will give up all 3 of Pawelek's baserunners but won't give up any earned runs of his own. And so it starts: Bases-loaded BB. Boise up 7-1. Errant pickoff throw allows the runner at third to score, runners at second and third and Boise up 7-2. K swinging. PO-8, Boise up 7-2 at the 7th inning stretch. Pawelek: 6.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R (should only be 1 ER), 5 K.
  15. CaliforniaRaisin
    Three straight singles to RF (the second grounded through the IF) breaks up Mark's streak of 14-straight retired. The bases are loaded with one out and Mark Pawelek's evening is over. Roberto Sotolongo is coming in to make his Boise debut. 6.1 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 5 K, all 3 base runners are his responsibility.
  16. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa won 5-4, Nashville is losing 3-1 in the 6th.
  17. CaliforniaRaisin
    First off, his last start was bad. I don't think he should be promoted at all this season. More importantly than anything else, Mark needs to keep working on his mechanics and repeating his delivery, to keep his improved control going. I'd rather he stay with the pitching coach who helped him get out of his early-season slump to do that.
  18. CaliforniaRaisin
    No, and no HBPs either. 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 5 K
  19. CaliforniaRaisin
    Pawelek: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4 K, 7 GO - 4 FO :)
  20. CaliforniaRaisin
    GET UP, VASHER.
  21. CaliforniaRaisin
    Iowa is up 5-4 in the 8th. Mark Mulder (4 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 BB, 2 K) started on a rehab assignment against the I-Cubs and didn't look good. West Tenn wins 4-2, they beat the Dodgers' top pitching prospect, Scott Elbert. Daytona won 4-1. Peoria down 2-1 in the 7th. Pawelek is going up against Chris Tillman, a highly thought of prep prospect from Orange County who was drafted 49th overall this past June. Tillman is making his NWL debut. Boise leads it 5-0 in the bottom of the 4th. Pawelek: 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 K, 6 GO - 3 FO. The announcer has noted that Mark was working tentatively his last time out, but working much more confidently today (attacking the hitters, etc.).
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Does that mean you're setting yourself up for a LOSE/LOSE situation? :-s Go Hill!
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    FORMER! He was already in his ex-Cub prospect, current-Marlin stud pitcher mode. :)
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    Good catch, thanks.
  25. CaliforniaRaisin
    Psh, I actually faced a player who reached the big leagues in a playoff game. Heck, he used to be a Cub farmhand. And I drew a walk off him.
