    I see this ump is just as bad as yesterday's.
  2. E.J.
    :shock: Equally shocked. There's no way Carlos Lee eats just one of anything.
  3. E.J.
    Izturis is pretty solid with the glove. Too bad he can't hit.
  4. E.J.
    Floyd is scary in LF.
  5. E.J.
    DeRosa should take a 9 iron to the plate next time he's up.
  6. E.J.
    Floyd with an Alou dive in the outfield. :lol:
  7. E.J.
    Way to find a silver lining. :D Those numbers were bound to go down as soon as Neifi left the team.
  8. E.J.
    Bring up Pie.
  9. E.J.
    Ouch. That had to hurt.

    just did :lol: Sort of. nah, it was. Burke had a swinging strikeout. He didn't technically swing and miss. He got a piece of that pitch, but Barrett caught it.

    Alright, today's the day that Soriano breaks out.
  12. E.J.
    just did :lol: Sort of.

    It's fun playing from behind.

    There's the Marquis we know.
  15. E.J.
    DP please.
  16. E.J.
    And so it begins...

    Some could say Izturis and DeRosa were our hottest hitters to start the season.
  18. E.J.
    Please don't suck Marquis.
  19. E.J.
    Those are the same people who wave at the camera while on their cellphones. :axe:

    I'm pretty sure it's immediately after you sign up.

    You sir, are a jerk. I had just gotten Plesac and his horrible broadcasting from spring training out of my mind. Now the horror is rushing back. You should be ashamed of yourself.
  22. E.J.
    Then I formally request that someone set an exact number of games that have to be played before such concerns can be voiced. 35
  23. E.J.
    Go Cubs! Don't suck

    I agree, but then again look how the Twins developed Santana. Started him in the Pen, and gradually moved him into the staters role. I like Guzman in the long man right now. No reasons not to trust Lou and his coaches right now. Why would you keep the more talented pitcher in the role that keeps him from pitching, and have the inferioir pitcher affecting every 5th game? He may have talent, but he hasn't shown that he can get major league hitters out on a consistent basis. Perhaps Larry and Lou are working with him on putting hitters away more often. Doesn't he have to step it up and earn that number 5 spot? And what did Wade Miller do to "earn" the #5 spot? Doesn't he have to show he can get ML hitters out on a consistent basis? Wade Miller out-pitched him in ST. If Gooz was the better pitcher, he would've taking that number 5 spot. Once again, Miller threw 20 innings and Gooz threw 18 innings in spring training. Huge sample size there.

    If I had been the GM, he wouldn't have been on the team in this capacity. well okay, except he is on the team. Now, the Cubs didn't hand him the job - they had an open competition between Prior, Miller and Guzman. Miller pitched better than Prior and Guzman. Which begs the question, why have a competition for the 5th spot in the rotation if you're not going to give the winner a fair shot in the regular season? Prior isn't ready. He shouldn't be in the 5th spot in the rotation. Guzman has much better stuff than Miller. Are we really going to go by the 20 innings they threw in spring training? Talk about a huge sample size there. The truth of the matter is Miller isn't the same pitcher he used to be. He's topping out at 87mph and has absolutely no movement on his fastball. To make things worse, he actually struggles to command that fastball on occasion. How many pitchers are successful throwing in the mid-80's these days? Not too many.
