    I'm not sure what's strange; he was ineffective and as a result, sent down. It's not like he's a guy with a long track record to fall back on. Perhaps if the Cubs rotation was solid they could afford for him to find himself on the 25 man roster but, as it stands, they can ill afford to keep him around. Wuertz had one bad outing, that doesn't make him ineffective. People are getting hung up over his meaningless spring numbers and forgetting that he was an effective reliever with peripherals pointing towards him being even better this year. I agree. You have to give him the opportunity to prove himself at the ML level for a little while. Like TT said, Wuertz had one bad outing, one decent outing and a good outing. Give the guy more than three appearances to show what he can do. Like TT said, you can't cite spring training as a excuse. Some guys have horrible springs and do well during the year and other guys have great springs and then stink it up once the regular season starts. That being said, Dusty and the Cubs better give Aardsma a chance as long as he's up with the team. I would like to see Wuertz pitch well in AAA and get another shot later in the season.

    CUBS WIN!! Good game today. Another series victory. Hopefully we can sweep the Dodgers again so I can bug my dad relentlessly.

    That will raise the OBP a little bit.

    Jacque sighting.

    1-2-3 inning for Novoa.

    Awesome. Go Lakers. They'll blow it though. I know they will. Probably not. Not with they way they're playing now, esxpeically with Nash sitting out. Nevermind then. I retract my statement. I didn't know Nash wasn't playing. That changes everything.

    Worse? I thought it was pretty sweet. I was disappointed when the Milwaukee manager held him out of the last week of games so Hernandez didn't break the SO record. That was weak. Just let the guy break it. I remember the Brewers fans were cheering him on and wanted him to get the record.

    MLB.TV has started to give me the "commercial break in progress" line in the last few innings. In the first couple innings they would just show the field in between innings and occasionally I would hear the Pirates announcers talking like they didn't know they were on the air. Kinda funny. I wish they would do that all the time - the showing the field during the break I mean.

    communist Seth.... I believe the correct term is "Pinko Commie Bed-wetter". That would be the PG form of the term.
  12. soccer10k
    Thats what I like to hear.

    "I don't really see a difference between a four run lead and a five run lead other than the one run difference." Idiot Pirate announcers.

    Did the Pirates pitching coach teach their pitchers to throw all 0-2 pitches down the middle. They've done it numerous times in the game and Hairston just missed hitting one in this AB. I know Walker's HR was on an 0-2 pitch.

    There just seems to be absolutely no excitement in their voices at all. Makes me glad we have Len and Brenly. They always seem to be excited, win or lose. Dammit fat Glendon. When Wilson hit that home run they actually showed a little excitement, not much, but a little. Len and Brenly aren't great announcers, but they are far better than these Pirates guys.
  16. soccer10k
    Buckle down Glendon. You still have a 4 run lead.

    Let's throw some strikes Glendon.
  19. soccer10k
    Really? Wow. Pretty amazing considering he's hit in the bottom of the order all year. Maybe its time to move up? I don't really know where he'd hit. Walker is doing great in the two hole, and I don't want him batting 5th or 6th. Agreed, with the way Walker is hitting right now, I like him batting 2nd unless, like today, Barrett isn't in the lineup.

    Why do say it's unacceptable ? You've obviiously accepted it, since you're still here watching him pitch, no? Because you shouldn't give up two home runs to a guy that has a career .102 BA with 34 SO in 59 AB's. And I'm not watching the game to see Rusch pitch. My only hope for Gopher Ball Glendon is that he gives the Cubs a chance to win. I watch the games for the team, not just one player. I'm just weary of all the hyperole. When you've completely boycotted the team because they have such a bad player, then come back and tell me that it's unacceptable. Meantime, sit back and admit that you've accepted it. I do see what you are trying to say though Fred. I don't like Glendon but I'm going to watch him and hope he at least gives us a chance to win the game. People on this board don't think too highly of Neifi but when he comes up I guarantee that they hope he comes through. They may not have high hopes for Neifi coming through, but they want him to. Same goes for me with Glendon. I hope he pitches well like he is doing so far today.

    rusch should go 7, he's only @ 68 pitches Why not 8? 8 would be even better. But he should be able to go at least 7.
  22. soccer10k
    Nice ARam. Let's hope Gopher Ball Glendon can go 7 so we can save the pen.

I haven't boycotted the team. I think Rusch giving up two HR's to a horrible hitting pitcher is unacceptable. By unacceptable I mean he needs to pitch a lot better than that, not that I refuse to accept that he actually gave up the homeruns. If the Cubs managed to get Barry Bonds I wouldn't boycott their games. I HATE Barry Bonds, but would still watch the games because it's the Cubs.
