    If Ronny turns into a viable starting shortstop, that might be Lou and Co's greatest accomplishment. Same could be said for Izturis.

    That was assuming injury and or poor performance by someone else that would send them to the DL or Iowa. Now that Cotts has been added, Wuertz has recovered, and Wood still has a shot to be on the active roster, there doesn't appear to be anymore room for Cherry (or Guzman). What does this mean? Has Cotts been assured a spot? yup

    aha. a hair plug.

    any chance Theriot gets more time at second than Derosa?

    So Cubs.com shows 17 pitchers and 16 position players left on the active roster (without Marmol and Marshall) but it still lists all the NRIs. How many NRIs are left in big league camp?

    Yeah, because having too many capable pitchers is a bad thing. That was such a careless post. I'm hoping he kicks ass. I'd rather have Gooz in the long-man role. He still learning how to pitch. He'd make a nasty weapon coming out of the pen. If you guys think Wade Miller is going to be a capable ML starting pitcher once the regular season rolls around, good for you. I'll go on being "careless" and expecting not very much from him. When I said Careless I meant rooting for a player to fail. Sorry we need all the depth we can get at the Starting postion. I don't root for any of them to fail... That's only careless if you believe his "root" has any effect on the outcome. Otherwise its just his preference. Extreme example, if my son is up against my nephew, I'm rooting the nephew to fail.

    Len and Bob talking about Prior's velocity during the game yesterday mention some numbers. One of them was not 90.

    You're down for that one. Ok, everyone. Hurry and choose your date before they are all gone. Any chance the thread head could be changed to note "OFF" days and "AVAILABLE" game days? There's a link to the schedule in the first post. Just look at it and then look at the list to see if the date is taken. I've already chosen. Just wondering how full we have the schedule. This is exciting.

    Love the jab at Dusty. It's comforting to know that we're not the only ones who detest(ed) his managerial style. Talk to most fans from SF, they knew it too! When Dusty was hired several Giants fans posted on cubs.com (that was before NSBB was born) warning us about Dusty. Very few Cub fans posting there believed them, since the Giants had just come off a World Series appearance. I think most of us thought they just had sour grapes. It turned out they were right all along. I remember our response being something like, "yeah, but SF never had any rookies worth playing. he Cubs have a top five farm system. He'll play the rookies here." How little we knew. :cry:

    Would've been better with AJ and Barrett ...*smack*... I'm lovin' it.

    At 6'2" and a medium frame (read: big butt) I can attest that it is easy to gain and lose as much as 10 pounds in a week at that age. I'd drink protein shakes, raw egg shakes, and eat burgers for a week and add 10 lbs. Then I'd go to baseball practice sucking on gatorade and snickers the whole time, and lose half of it in a day. At 30...not so much.

    Pie sure is trying to play his way onto this team

    Wouldn't it be a 4.50 ERA? the ERA is cumulative of all ST appearances. 4 runsin 9 IP I'm more pessimistic than most of Miller's performances. WHIP is way to high. Today would be a 1.75 WHIP...not good. Too many guys getting on bases, eventually, you give up too many runs. He's had some luck on his side to not have an ERA closer to 6. That's the same thing he did at the end of last year as well-1.71 WHIP, 4.57 ERA. I have no idea if he'll be able to continue that or not. What is this last year you speak of? Are you trying to forget 2006 that much :D BTW, I made this post because I forgot to add that was in 5 starts last year. You must be mistaken. There has been no baseball since 2003

A healthy prior would be nice. 7 man rotation anyone?

    Forgot to add: FIELDING Pickoffs: Miller (Young at 1st base). thats a 4.5 ERA if my math is right, I noticed that after Danny posted. I copied that right from Gamecast. ERA is cumulative

    Police at wrigley? I assume this will be much different than the police at the Cell.
