    Dusty doing things ass backwards here. He starts Jones vs. a lefty, now pulls him while facing a bullpen with no lefties in it.

    It's a guy thing, you wouldn't understand. I just got home... how'd Gooz look today? I saw his line, but how was his stuff? Riiiiight. He's about the only one that does it. It's very odd. Uh...doesn't Zambrano grab himself after almost every pitch too? No, not nearly as frequently. I think it's a girl thing to notice that stuff. :lol: Not! I'm not the only one that noticed. You're a serial crotch adjuster watcher, just admit it. :lol: Just playin. Neifi is the king. That guy can't keep his hands off himself when he's batting.

    I like Nolasco's stuff.

    I hope that K killed a few butterflies.

    Jock wanted to get his uniform dirty. That's the only reason I could see for the dive.

    God kills a puppy every time Jones starts vs. a lefty.

    Ignorance of baseball + poor logic + sweeping accusations = one really bad post. Get over yourself. What ignorance of baseball did that show? Just because you don't agree with it, doesn't mean it's ignorant. Terrible, just terrible. I expect junk like this on cubs.com, not here.

    I totally agree. Strikeouts are major negative style points, which is all that concerns most fans. Ground out, meh. NSBB is an exception, but on most message boards you rountinely read "doesn't strikeout a lot" as a defense for crappy players.

    Yay for Jacque, but why the hell didn't Girardi get a lefty reliever in? No activity in the pen? I don't get it. Makes me glad Joe isn't our manager.

    Jones doesn't deserve to get another at bat vs. any LHP for the rest of his career. He belongs on the bench.

    You compared their career path, which insinuates comparing them at similar ages. Lofton is going to be out of baseball in a year or two. You can't compare Pierre now with Lofton now. I think this is just a case of miscommunication. What CubinNY and I were implying is that looking forward Pierre's career path is going to look like the last 4-5 years of Lofton's career. Obviously their careers are different looking backwards. And I was comparing their skillsets as they have been in the recent past. They're very similar players now, other than Lofton walking a bit more.
  14. frostwyrm
    Lofton's power is a thing of the past. Only thing he does better than Pierre now is take walks. If you want to talk about the Lofton from 5 years ago, then yeah, he's a lot different from Pierre.
  15. frostwyrm
    I don't think so. Lofton's and Pierre's skillsets are close to identical. Lofton has been fortunate enough to retain his speed into his late 30's, but most players don't. Pierre will be 29 in August. He might deserve one more multiyear deal. After that it would be a foolish gamble to sign him for more than one year.
  16. frostwyrm
    His one tool is speed. I see his career path kind of Like Kenny Lofton's. Yep, I was thinking exactly the same thing. There's a good reason why Lofton has been on one year contracts for a while now. It's because at his age he's liable to lose another step any day now and become utterly worthless. He does deserve one year offers, but that's all. In another couple of years Pierre will be the same.
  17. frostwyrm
    Besides being overrated, Pierre is not the type of the player who will age well. If he loses a step, or even half a step, his whole game falls apart to the point of rendering him unfit to play in the majors, even as bench player. He shouldn't get more than a 2 year deal from any smart GM, and when he gets over 30 he should only get 1 year deals.
  18. frostwyrm
    According to espn, Pierre is 16th out of 24 qualifiers in BA, 21st in OBP, and 18th in SLG coming into today. He's also tied for last in walks and tied for 16th in runs. If that is how he finishes the season then he is not only bad, but he has no business being an everyday player, certainly not for a contender. Why would anybody be talking extension based on these numbers? I don't get it.

    Are you people aware 4/20 is Hitler's birthday?
  20. frostwyrm
    Starting Jones vs. Mulder was way dumb.
  21. frostwyrm
    I do.
  22. frostwyrm
    I HATE seeing a #2 hitter sac bunt.
  23. frostwyrm
    That's a pretty charitable paraphrase.
  24. frostwyrm
    Albert and Aram better put on their walking shoes.
  25. frostwyrm
    Murton should be Aram's protection, but unfortunately it's Mabry and Jones.
