    The question is, "can he hit?"

    I find that very hard to believe

    In a 14 inning game... and it was a pinch runner. Anyway, these things happen in 14 inning games. Just be thankful that Theriot (best comparison to Doug Dascenzo?) didn't end up pitching

    According to ESPN news ticker, wood will not have surgery. No timetable for him to pitch again. Basically the same info as rotoworld.

    Nope. The dude playing with his nipples was much more interesting.

    No, if he doesn't get ejected at all this year I win-that's what I chose. Yeah.. and that's probably the best bet. It's the safest one. Not the best one. Mine's the best bet. :wink: If anyone ever gives you 10,000 to 1 odds on ANYTHING.....you. take. it. If John Mellencamp ever wins a grammy, you're looking at a very wealthy man.

    Howry set a Cub record for appearances last year... a year after setting an all time Cleveland Indians club record for appearances. Yikes!

    It's being a "snob" to just understand basic grammar? Come on. I guess it worked eh? :lol: http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/0671723650.01._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-dp-500-arrow,TopRight,45,-64_OU01_SCLZZZZZZZ_V47162198_AA240_SH20_.jpg

    Theriot didnt exactly have a great game today either but no one is railing on him. DeRosa is going to put up similar if not better numbers than last year. He's been great everyone has good games and bad games. Im pretty happy with what Mark has been able to do so far. A bold prediction considering most professionals project a modest regression. Those projections are based on three year averages and are meaningless when considering breakout or injury plagued years. There wont be a modest regression. Either it was a fluke and there will significant regression, or it was a real breakout year, and he will continue to build. The average of that is a moderate regression, and the average of the last three years is a moderate regression, so that's what projection go with.

    possibly because he's not hurt. He's fully healed but has no velocity and never will. rephrased: he's done. But as long as he's still under contract the Cubs will try whatever they can. Not saying this is true (in fact I don't think it is), but you asked for an alternate interpretation. The mystery that is Mark Prior continues. I'm just glad we don't have to rely on the enigma anymore...He only is intersting the same way a car accident is. No, in the same way that Ashton Kutcher having an actor demolish a brand new Cadillac Escalade just to play a joke on his friend who has a similar looking Escalade is. Pointless, painful, senseless. I hate Dusty. And Ashton Kutcher.

    I like it. It would be better if it was more accessible from the front page. There's a "link to the blogs section" there, but I think each of the latest blogs should be a link to that blog from the front page. Or even put the full blog on the front page. The quality of writers and posters on NSBB is terrific. I think NSBB would get the acclaim and attention it deserves if the front page was spruced up a bit. Our now generation doesn't like to dig. You'd get more viewership and more revenue from advertisements. That said, I like NSBB being the well kept secret it is. As I have limited time to sift through junk posts, I like the fact that 80% of posters are capable of rational coherent thought. Sorry. [/rambling stream of consciousness.]

    No one has mentioned the strong performance by Marquis

    I don't know. Tony Womack - '03: 349 at bats, .226/.251/.307. OPS+ 40. '04 with Cards: 553 at bats, .307/.349/.385. OPS+ 93 (career high). '05 Yankees: 329 at bats, .249/.276/.280. OPS+ 47. Nunez - '04: 182 at bats, .236/.275/.319. OPS+ 56. '05 with Cards: 421 at bats, .285/.343/.361. OPS+ 84 (career high). '06: 322 at bats, .211/.303/.273. OPS + 48. John Mabry's 4 best seasons were as a Cardinal, his best after being cut by the Mariners at age 34. Al Reyes, Kiko Calero and Josh Kinney all came out of relatively nowhere to have great years as key set up men. Fernando Tatis had ops+'s of 118, 140 and 118 for the Cardinals and then disappeared. Kent Bottenfield was a career swing man who won 18 games with an era+ of 115 as a starter in '99. Of course the most obvious example of Cardinals luck is Chris Carpenter. I'd add Bo F. Hart. No world burner but .277 .317 .395 was over his head. and John Rodriguez. Breaking in at age 27 with .295 .382 .436 line?!?

    I'm declaring that as of this moment, I am posting in this thread. Soon...I shall post in another thread. Eventually, I will do the laundry. At some point, I will make myself dinner. At the end of the day, I will be sleeping. While we're declaring...I'm declaring myself eligible for the NBA draft.

    Oh, I think there's a great deal of question whether Prior would outproduce Miller. As for being crapped on by his employer, I suppose you could apply that argument to any player who gets sent down. So why should Prior be given special treatment? He's not getting it done right now, so he's down for the moment. Why is this bad? If Miller sucks and Prior does well at Iowa, the Miller is out and Prior is back in. Sounds like a solid, merit-based approach to me. Everyone always criticizes the Cubs for being too soft with veteran players. But once they get tougher and demand a level of performance, suddenly everyone's all over them for that, too. I guess they can't win either way. The same reason a rookie with promise should play over a crappy veteran. The chances of Prior improving are better than Miller. All this said I prefer Guzman over both.
