    Is Wood actually going to start tomorrow?
  2. soccer10k
    Wow, we're losing already. This is a surprise.

    It's obvious how Dusty configured his lineup. He had to alternate lefties and righties because he probably thinks it's the key to winning games. I may be missing something but I actually like this lineup tonight. I don't really mind the lineup either. I was just trying to use Dusty-logic.

    I think everybody agrees that Bonds would have been a surefire first ballot HOFer without steroids. Heck, even if you cut off his career after 1998 - before he started taking steroids - he would most likely have been a HOFer anyway.

    The mentioned it on PTI also and Wilbon said something along the lines of "the Cubs stink and what has Baker done to deserve an extention...nothing."
  6. soccer10k
    Now that I agree with.

    Pierzynski just said that his Zambrano imitation was because he had some family problems this weekend and he promised somebody he would point to the sky for them. As for the family problems, anyone think his wife found out about his philandering on the road?

    I'm sure Neifi can play catcher.

    You have got to be kidding me. I wouldn't mind if we were actually winning but this makes no sense during a losing streak.

    I think that it could be a combination of Murton slumping as well as the coaching staff. If Murton starts to slump, the coaching staff would probably offer suggestions on how to break out of the slump. Apparently those suggestions aren't working yet. Hopefully he'll break out of it.

    Absolutely not on Howry and Marshall. They are both solid pitchers and two of the few bright spots on the team this year. Pierre is one thing since he'll be gone after this year if we don't want him back so if we can get something for him then why not.
  13. soccer10k
    He sure is That makes it even funnier.
  14. soccer10k
    If he was a Cub, yes. But since he isn't he will go on to a multiple Cy Young career. And that's why I'm worried about Wood. I just feel that if we keep him, he'll continue to have arm issues and the Cubs will have wasted money but if we let him go then all of a sudden his arm problems will stop and he'll win a Cy or two.

    I'd rather see a DLee that hits like Neifi Perez than Neifi Perez himself. At least Lee would have a chance of improving. That's true but it would still be hard to watch for a little while if he was hitting like Neifi.
  16. soccer10k
    Well if he gets the cast off May 31 that gives him 9 days to rehab before June 10. It depends on when he gets the cast off I guess. I hope he makes his goal but I want to see a DLee that can actually hit a ball not a DLee that hits like Neifi Perez.
  17. soccer10k
    Just heard it on Baseball Tonight. Has anyone else heard anything on when the cast will come off?
  18. soccer10k
    Had to chime in on this. That plan is a no no. Prior ok we are going to keep him but we dont' rely on him. Miller is well known to have "arms flailing" mechanics. Guzman you don't count on as anything more than a #5, and he still has to prove that this year, which he has not as of yet. Z, (#2 pitcher signing), Maddux, Marshall, Prior (then you use those other guys when Prior is not ready to pitch) I'm agreeing with you on the point but I love how you put "when Prior is ready to pitch." This is what we've come to. We just assume he's going to get hurt.

    Jones is going deep twice.
  20. soccer10k
    Methinks there was a bit of sarcasm in that. A backhanded complement if you will.
  21. soccer10k
    I'm going to assume you're joking.
  22. soccer10k
    Well...I'm not sure. They're both horrible. Lima 2006: 0-3, 14.1 IP, 14 ER, 8.79 ERA, 1.81 WHIP Rusch 2006: 1-5, 32 IP, 26 ER, 7.31 ERA, 1.56 WHIP This following a year in which Lima was 5-16 with a 6.99 ERA.
  23. soccer10k
    Good riddence to the guy who cost the Cubs a World Series appearance in 2003.
  24. soccer10k
    As opposed to what? Wishing he wouldn't come back healthy and pitch well? As opposed to having him just leave without the Cubs being able to at least try to get something for him. If he pitches poorly he hurts us because the Cubs will lose and nobody will want to trade for him.

    I think Wood and Maddux coming off the books will make us the favorites to get Lee. Would you offer 4/40 for him? Not so fast about Maddux coming off the books. When we lose Wood, we might want to keep a 12-14 game winner in the 4th or 5th position. We'll have Z, Prior, Marshall and ....... I agree. I think whether or not we resign Maddux should depend on both how he does this year - namely towards the end of the year - and how much money he asks for. As for Jacque, I think pretty much everybody can agree that he should be platooned regardless of what position he plays so he doesn't have to face lefties.
