  1. There is absolutely no reason that Rusch should be in the rotation. Guzman pitched far better than Rusch has so far this year. We could even bring Hill up also. After Wood comes back we should have: Z Maddog Wood Marshall Guzman/Hill ABR: Anybody But Rusch.
  2. Are you serious? The wind is blowing IN? Two no doubt home runs with the wind blowing in? Get rid of Rusch. Bob said that the wind is blowing in from right field. Weeks' home run is one thing, but Fielder's went directly into the wind and Jacque didn't even move at all.
  3. When somebody hits a no doubter into a 10-15 mph wind, it's generally not a good sign.
  4. Who was talking about watching the game on HD? How did the stomach look on that? Haha.
  5. Can somebody tell Murton that running into the wall isn't a smart thing to do. You got lucky there fatty.
  6. I hate you Glendon Rusch. Go find another buffet.
  7. I wish Maddux could start twice every five days so Rusch didn't have to.
  8. meh..they are still the cardinals I hate this type of argument/comment. Probably because I'm a Cubs fan. :wink: right, but in the case of the football cardinals, its true!!! They're 1 or 2 OL and a 1 or 2 good defensive players away from the playoffs. I realize that, I was joking around.......Denny has always drafted well, and coached well. I could see them becoming a perrenial playoff team that never makes it to the SB. Denny just flakes out in the playoffs, his playcalling just gets weird then. So the new Indianapolis Colts.
  9. I think this has been the 3049th time I've said this so far this year but...I LOVE OUR BULLPEN.
  10. They probably did but the team will still come out and swing at the first pitch. I hope they don't, but I think they will.
  11. No surprise with the Ngata pick.
  12. meh..they are still the cardinals I hate this type of argument/comment. Probably because I'm a Cubs fan. :wink: Even though Leinart is going to get a lot less money at #10 than he would have getting drafted #1 last year, I have to think that he has to be much happier that he stayed in school. He got to stay and be a god at USC and now gets to go to an offense with the Edge, Larry Fitzgerald, and Anquan Boldon instead of getting hammered in SF with a horrible team. I know it's the Cardinals but they're looking much better than the Niners are.
  13. cleveland Denver traded Cleveland to get the 11th pick? Interesting.
  14. IMO he'll be the best QB in the draft. No offense, but he did go to Vanderbilt. I'm not saying he's going to be horrible, and I think he'll be better than Vince Young, but I have to doubt him because he went to Vanderbilt. Althouth Roethlisberger did go to Miami (Ohio) so who knows.
  15. Who did Denver trade to get that pick? Did they give up their 15th pick?
  16. Some moves might be inept ownership, but in the Marlins case it's definately maximizing profits. They know that they can get a bunch of young guys for cheap by trading all of their expensive star players. Every owner knows they are running a business and have different strategies as to maximizing profits.
  17. Everybody had Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf 1 and 1a. Just think where the Colts might be right now if they had drafted Leaf instead of Manning.
  18. Gorgeous. And I don't think it's too early to say that our bullpen is SIGNIFICANTLY better than last year. This makes me much more comfortable heading with leads into the late innings, and also helps lessen the pressure on starting pitchers. Nice. I think it's also been a big part of the 'Comeback Cubs' we've seen so far. The team doesn't get down on itself heading into the late innings, and when our bullpen can hold them off, it gives us a chance to come back offensively. Kudos to Hendry on the bullpen I say. I knew coming into the season that, without a doubt, this year's pen would be the best we have had in a few years. Even if one of Eyre/Howry works out, we still have a great 8-9 combination in Eyre/Howry and Dempster. I loved the signings. Feel free to rip Hendry for resigning Neifi and Rusch and signing Jones, but at least give him huge props for the bullpen.
  19. It's not a given that Bush is going to be a star in the league. Remember that LenDale White, not Bush was the best USC running back in the Rose Bowl. Bush wasn't able to rely on just his speed to get past the Texas defence which was the first defense close to a pro level in terms of speed that Bush faced last year. Could I see Bush being one of the greatest running backs of all time? Yes. But is that a guarantee? Absolutely not. I could just as easily see him being an average running back and a return specialist. Every pro team has speed on defense because generally you have to be fast to play defense in the NFL. Bush being a fixture at the Pro Bowl is most definately not a sure thing.
  20. If DeAngelo gets past Carolina at #27 (especially if they choose LenDale White instead), I will light myself on fire. What if Carolina took Laurence Maroney from Minnesota?
  21. I think this is legit. It's absurd to hide an injury to "bluff". It's not like this is hockey.
