    Leadoff walk for Jock. Let's see if Z can figure out how to bunt.

    oops - no idea why that post just happened
  3. CubmanPi
    Does anyone know why?

    Dear Z, Please don't suck. Since you haven't been listening to me the last few times I've made such a request, "suck" would be what you've done the last six starts. Stop it.
  6. CubmanPi
    uh oh, a run. I hope that doesn't confuse the offense. they were getting into a groove before that.
  7. CubmanPi
    Consider it a blessing. Walk away, dude. Just walk away.

    The Cubs are good at baseball.

    Jack F Wilson. Hysterical.
  10. CubmanPi
    No way they pull him.

    Cubs opponents have given up plenty of those this season. Pirates offense has also been killing lately.
  12. CubmanPi
    Brewers playing Cincy, Cubs, playing Pittsburgh, and StL going into AZ to face Webb. The unlikelihood of a 3-way tie resulting is exactly why it's going to happen.
  13. CubmanPi
    FWIW, the Pirates won 17 games in August while scoring more runs than anyone else in baseball that month, and it's their pitching which has been suspect. This fact, combined with the Cubs' ability to make anyone CYA candidate for a day, doesn't bode well at all. Nor does the 3-0 deficit. :x

    I know murton wasn't involved in the play, but can someone describe what they saw? Did that have any business being a double? How was the collision?
  15. CubmanPi
    What was Gorzy's PC that inning?
  16. CubmanPi
    He kills lefties...when will he start doing that for us exactly? The same way that a Cadinals uniform resurrects long-gone (or never-existing) ability from corpses, so is the Cubs uniform itself completely incapable of hitting lefties.

    Sweet lineup!
  18. CubmanPi
    Havent seen them anywhere, but Im guessing its the same lineup we seen against the lefty the other night, except I doubt Soto gets to start sigh It doesn't matter much to me. I was just curious, because with the game not started yet and the Cubs not losing yet, I was looking for something new to complain about. Great. Lou doesn't want to win anymore. Have fun in first, Brewers.
  19. CubmanPi
    Have no lineups been posted yet?

    Tied for first, and in first by percentage points LOL Eh? Cubs and Brewers have the exact same record right now. First by way of head to head record LOL!!!

    Papelbon - 1.61 ERA, 75 K/15 walks, .77 WHIP Dempster - 3.88 ERA, 48K/27 walks, 1.28 WHIP. But hey, at least his performance in situations arbitrarily defined by a meaningless statistic is only marginally worse than Papelbons! (Also, let's not mention the two tie games he entered and singlehandedly let get out of reach) Excellent points made comparing Dempster to a real closer. Saves are a meaningless statistic For the 2006 and 2007 seasons combined Dempster's ERA is close to 4.50. That's horrible for a so-called closer. Yes, those numbers aren't good at all for a so-called closer - but doesn't the fact that his percentage in achieving such a meaningless statistic despite those numbers show that maybe a 'closer' doesn't have to be lights out in order to get the job done? I'd take Dempster starting the 9th inning with a 1-run lead every time if the alternative were dropping him into the game in about 75% of the situations Marmol has been used in. The value of the role of closer is just as over-rated as most of the players who fill it.

    Len just IMed me and said that Hendry wants to sign Floyd to a big multi-year deal because of the way he has saved us this season. Sorry, had to.
  24. CubmanPi
    Gorzy throws a perfect game on 52 pitches, and still manages to strike out 8. Rich Hill throws a no-hitter, but Cubs still lose because Hill walks a guy in the 6th, and by the time Kendall's throw finally gets all the way to second, the baserunner has already taken third and home.
  25. CubmanPi
    That was the first thing I thought when I opened this thread. The numbers OMC listed for Williams makes it hard to vote any way else, and I haven't done the actual number crunching on Griffey, but I'd imagine the 'what if' is pretty staggering.
