    explain I expected him to continue to decline, especially in the power department. I'm sure a bunch drafted him way too high and are riding him to victory, as the OP said.

    That's really really really really really really really really really really unfortunate, because they're one of the best teams in baseball. Please just stop. You're just arguing for the sake of arguing here, because there is no way anyone can defend this move.

    Well that pitch wasn't particularly close

    If Edmonds hits ahead of Geo in this lineup, I will jump off the 42nd story of the US bank building, which happens to be the tallest building in Wisconsin
  5. javy knows my name
    Add Ryan Theriot and Miguel Tejeda to that particular list

    HORSE #@*!

    Yeah, that homer that Johnson hit will keep him in the lineup for a good two weeks. Absolutely unreal. Thanks Bruce. If you're going to complain about Johnson playing over Pie at least wait until the Cubs are facing a right hander... This might be the first post of yours that I've ever agreed with

    That's a pretty contrived situation, especially since even scenario 2 likely results in at least a tie in the ninth. When the first guy in the eighth got on, a reliever should have been brought in. If your second best reliever gives up a double to the first batter he faces in the eighth, and it's indicative of the kind of pitcher he is, there is no post-season for your team. If Marmol can warm up more quickly than Wood, which I think is the case, that's the only reason you need to not have Marmol as the ninth inning "closer." It's a simple and unavoidable fact that, on average, a pre-9th inning "leverage" guy will pitch more crucial outs and innings than a pure closer (every 1-3 run lead, ninth-inning only). The perfect situation would be Marmol pitching both pre-9th inning key situations and nailing down 9th-inning, one-run leads. But...But...THIS ISN'T CONVENTIONAL!

    Wuertz has 6 walks in 17 innings. Marshall has 7 walks in 8.2 innings. He watches the games, dude.

    Sidney Ponson would make me look like a sniveling little schoolgirl.

    It's being talked about in today's game thread, FWIW
  12. javy knows my name
    he has to be somewhat popular, otherwise why would the owners sit back and watch him completely destroy two baseball franchises? In 2003, they beat the uberexpensive Yankees in the series with a small-market payroll. He gave all of the other cheapass owners out there an alibi. I think they like him. By "alibi" do you mean something else?

    The summer of 84 was the greatest of my life. 8 years old sitting watching all day games on WGN all summer with my hero at the time, my grandfather. He would get a kick out of how dark Gary Matthews was.....ah the good ol days. You are quite a bit older than I would have guessed
  14. javy knows my name
    I'd be cool with this as well. *But* the Padres are an excellent team to rest Soto against...no real threat of speed, and I doubt we'll need an offensive explosion of our own to beat them. *But* this series will depend more on our starting pitching being consistent, and not playing down to our competition. My name is Joe Morgan and I approved this message
  15. javy knows my name
    Yeah I didn't know he had a slider either. About 10 mph difference between the two pitches today. Good for Sean, and a little redemption for Lou.
  16. javy knows my name
    So is he just throwing that back-up slider now or is he mixing in a more conventional one?
  17. javy knows my name
    How do you get up early to watch a game that starts at 1:20 central time? Even in California, that's not the crack of dawn. Maybe he's in Hawaii right now?
  18. javy knows my name
    Let me preface this by saying that I think Cuban would be a great choice. However, defending his ability to run a business really doesn't do much to further his cause to non-believers, especially in the Cubs case. The man is going to make an obscene amount of money with the Cubs no matter what he does; the question is, is he going to run his business like Jeffrey Loria or like Steinbrenner? And by like Jeffrey Loria, I would mean keep the payroll the same and not drastically change the team. Loria makes a ton of money by selling his young players high at the cost of the team's (continued) success. My finance major friend says he's the best owner in baseball because of his business savvy. I think he's an a-hole.

    Excellent contrast with the news of Gagne and Izzy admitting suckitude lately. Good find.
  20. javy knows my name
    This is Theo Epstein we're talking about here, not Ned Colletti
  21. javy knows my name
    Legal reasons, make sure he doesn't have any unknown illnesses, injuries, etc. Also, to get the contract insured. Maybe Hanley realizes how godawful his defense is? yeah, thats probably the main reason. So why not wait for arbitration and sign a fat deal with an AL team?
  22. javy knows my name
    Johnson has dominated us in years past, so I have no idea how we are going to look against the grandpa version tomorrow. Z's ks don't worry me at all. He's getting guys out and walking less of them. The new Z can stick around as long as he'd like. Call me crazy, but I like our chances tomorrow. Wouldn't it be hilarious if Lou started Pie? I know he won't but it would be really funny to see him actively trying to destroy him and justify a send down. Payback's a bitch, let's sweep these mothers!
  23. javy knows my name
    You'd be as crazy as old man Lou if you turned down this trade. Though Howard is on pace to break the k record this year, don't know if your league counts that
  24. javy knows my name
    He's becoming more like Dusty every damned day. OBSCENITIES
  25. javy knows my name
    They should start working with Marmol on throwing with his left hand. His right arm just going to be a stump by the end of the season
