    I like to wait until someone feels the need to correct me before I fix it.

    Anyone listening to the Iowa game? How's Cpatt doing?

    Call me crazy but I don't mind guys who hit homers when a single is needed. Heres my off the wall theory: HR>1B Also Juan pierre is one of the most overrated players in baseball. He is decent but I can't wait until he hits free agency and somebody gives him about 8 million a year. Speaking of overrated, isnt it funny how Carlos Beltran goes from being one of the most underrated players to being one of the most overrated players? You forgot to add that Beltran is probably the most overpaid player as well. :wink:

    Rusch is in the bullpen, but he might not be used this weekend if he's going to pitch in Wood's place.

    Um...the Yankees and Atlanta have rookies who are helping as we speak. Atlanta had 10 rookies on the team at one point this season.

    I still don't think Dusty will play him. He sat the kid down after a 4 hit night. I still see him only getting PT against lefties. Which is just stupid. The kid is hitting and getting on base. He was on base 3 out of 4 times today. He's been on base 50% of the time since being called up.

    Woody got a cortisone shot and will miss at least one start according to ESPN. Here's the article: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2113559

    Pitching Inside

    E.J. replied to JC's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    I think Brenly made a note during Prior's outing that Blanco loves going on the outside corner. Maybe this is an issue as much with our catchers as it is with Wood and Prior themselves. Just throwing it out there, I haven't seen Wood or Prior pitch much this year to make any sort of judgment. Could this, in part, by Maddux's influence? We all know that Atlanta preached working the outside corner. We hear with some consistancy that Maddux gives tips to players all the time, and Blanco certainly made his name with the Braves living on the outside. I never bought into the idea that Maddux could help Prior and Wood. They are simply too different with respect to their approaches. Sure, Maddux can reinforce the strategy of limiting damage when runners are on. But, do you really need Maddux for that? Living on the outside corner seems more effective if you have Maddux's two seemer, or are a lefty like Glavine who can break his curve over the outside black of the plate. Of course, Smoltz is more of a power pitcher, but I don't see him live outside like Maddux and Glavine did. (Though, I could be wrong.) I could see Maddux helping Prior immensely. The only one who can really help Woody is Woody himself. He still needs to learn to be a pitcher and not a thrower [/cliche]

    Pitching Inside

    E.J. replied to JC's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    Prior pitches inside all the time. He hasn't hit anyone lately, but he's always busting people inside. I don't think Woody can throw it inside. He tries to get it inside, but always seems to miss. It usually lands in the stands. There were 3 good examples of this last night.

    I read the first part and got really excited. Bastard. Yeah, because when Chicago and Cincinnati news breaks, the first place you'll hear it is on the radio in State College, PA. :lol: By the way, that same radio station is reporting that the peanut butter in the aforementioned sandwich was not crunchy-style, and the Jelly is generic store-brand rather than Smuckers. Since this information came to light, the Reds have since backed out of the deal. I didn't even read that part. I just read ESPN 1640, Corey Patterson, and traded Dunn. I should stop skimming. It's gotten me in trouble twice today. :D

    I'm happy with just having Murton out there. Only problem is he only gets to play when a lefty is on the mound. I'd much rather get some studs in the bullpen than get a stud in LF. Murton's done a good job when he's gotten a chance.

    Nice loss today losers. Bullpen sucks. Better hope Prior, Z, and Williams can pitch at least 8 inning in each of their games in St. Louis. Otherwise we're in trouble.

    And Dusty now decides to bring in Dempster just after the game is tied. GRRRR.
  19. E.J.
    And Novoa balks. Sweet. :evil:
  20. E.J.
    I want them to have a 20 run lead, but that's just me. Agreed. Give me 25 runs in the top of the 9th.
  21. E.J.
    Very good catch. Look for it as #1 on the web gem tonight. A little looper to right center that Hairston came in full speed on and laid full out to catch.
  22. E.J.
    Both my dogs are looking at me like I'm insane. It's a good thing I'm in the basement. People might call the police on me I was screaming so loud. :D
  23. E.J.
    Hairston with a huge catch there. Novoa somehow gets out of the mess. HE IS A LATIN GOD!!!!!
  24. E.J.
    HAIRSTON!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG, somehow we got out of it.
  25. E.J.
    Make up call by the ump there. 2 outs!!!
