    Is there anything on cubs.com about this and do you have a link to the Rotoworld quote?
  2. soccer10k
    Hopefully that will change and Z will get in on the action.

    While you make a decent argument and I agree with you, as Meat said, people are going to rip you for that.

    I'm gonna hit up a computer lab after class and watch the game.

    We can get the sweep with a good Angel Guzman performance tomorrow and get some serious momentum going into the Milwaukee series.

    Marshall looked great today. With the exception of Howry in the 8th, they cruised.

    CUBS WIN!!

    He's looking great right now. Anybody have a pitch count?

    Comedy on NSBB. Neifi gets brought up and a huge debate ensues. It's like clockwork. FIXED.

    And like Jon said, the game hasn't even started yet. I can only imagine what it will be like if we fall be...I'm not even going to say it because we are going to win today. We couldn't hit Vargas last night so we'll hit Dontrelle well tonight.

    As for the lineups. People should be happy because Neifi isn't in there. It's understandable why Jones is in the lineup after last night.

    I'm not all of a sudden saying he's a great 1B. Remember he's only substituting, he's been good as far as just helping us win games while Lee is gone. I don't want him to become a 1B. :) I'd prefer your second scenerio. I want TWalk at 1B and JHjr at 2B. I want to give Hairston some major palying time at 2B to see if he can recapture any of his 2002-2003 offense. He said he feels great and is ready to contribute. Now's his chance to prove it. I just don't think Mabry is going to put up very good #'s at 1B. I think the combo of Walk and Jerr will give us better offense than the combo of Mabry and Walk. And we need as much "O" as we can get. Walker isn't great at 1B but we will be able to survive with him there.

    I agree with the no strikeouts thing. But, and I think somebody might have used the word already, Neifi is a backup. Last year he started but he was supposed to be a backup. So it's like somebody filling in. Jacque and Patterson were starters. I personally tend to hold the starters to higher expectations than I do backups.

    That's just stupid to start Rusch. Why not start your best pitcher so far on normal rest? Baffling.
  16. soccer10k
    I wouldn't call the Reds "an otherwise great team." I agree with lousy starting pitching, but they don't have a bullpen. Offense is great though.

    This will be the 3rd day in a row they've discussed Maddux :D Maddux is on toss up. Also they just showed Z breaking the bat again. That will never get old.
  18. soccer10k
    Not to be nitpicky again Fred, but the first stat you have shows the Cubs having played 20 games and the second you have shows we have only played 17 games. The Cubs have played 18 games. Like last time, I may be misinterpreting your stats. Definitely looks like a bug in the program. Oh well..... back to old drawing board. edit: seems like both stats should be 10-3 and 1-4. Now, to find where bug is !!! I have the Cubs at 10-1 when they score 4 or more runs and 1-6 when they don't. I have the Cubs at 10-2 when they draw two or more walks and 2-4 when they don't.

    This is starting to remind me of '89 more than any other year because they're getting it done playing a few younger guys and getting production from some no-names. Plus Zimmer really had the horseshoe that summer. Seemed like everything he tried worked. That was a fun team to watch. In '89 Jerome Walton broke camp with the club as a rookie and hit lead-off hitter. Dwight Smith got called up about a month into the season and platooned in left with Lloyd Freakin' McClendon, Maddux was in about his third season, Grace was in his second or third. Third base was shared by Vance Law and Angel Salazar. Sutcliffe was in the rotation but I can't remember who the other three starters were. HAHA. Lloyd McClendon. One of the best headlines I ever saw was a few years ago when I was visiting my grandparents in Minnesota. I picked up the sports section in the summer and one of the headlines read "McClendon Steals First Base." I'm thinking how on earth did somebody steal first base. He was managing Pittsburgh, got angry over a call and ripped the first base bag out from the ground and carried it away. It was awesome.

    Nice =D> The best thing about Betancourt's single was that Ozzie intentionally walked the previous batter to get to him. That was the other reason I bought MLB.TV. I was just sitting at my computer and I noticed that the game was still on so I watched the bottom of the eleventh. It's really nice being able to watch any game you want.
  21. soccer10k
    I saw that and I couldn't believe they screwed that up. ESPN idiots.

    Cincinnati being blacked out for you is weird. I live about 7 hours from Los Angeles and 8 from San Diego but I'm not blacked out on those games. I only get the A's and Giants blacked out.

    I was quite pleased with how Z composed himself. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.
  24. soccer10k
    Excellent. Let's see what he can do.
  25. soccer10k
    That's a strategy that some managers/coaches try to employ. You always hear of basketball coaches purposefully saying the right things to referees to get themselves tossed in hopes of firing up their team. They usually figure that the team can't play any worse so why not get tossed. Same thing in baseball. Either to fire up your team or make the umps thing about certain calls. Definately an interesting strategy though.
