    I would. 3-7 of Lee Ramirez Barrett Jones Derosa The 1,2,8 spots are easily explained. 1Soriano 2Pie 8Izturis Becomes 1Theriot 2Floyd 8Pie Soriano sits for the weather. Lou is more concerned about Sori getting hurt than he is about Floyd getting hurt...........................good decision His replacement (Floyd) can't hit 1st, so you look for a replacement. Don't want to mess with 3-7, don't want to pressure Pie, and you're trying to get Theriot playing time any way..................................good decision You can put Floyd 2 or 8. He's been hotter than Pie, so he hits second (Floyd hits 2nd over Pie, Pie hits 2nd over Izturis)................good decision The only decision I would've like better would have been Murton over Floyd, but the logic above would still stand. There is very little difference between the two line ups. And can be explained by: Protect Soriano from injuries, and can't hit Floyd or Izturis lead-off.

    In this case it's referring to the Other Games thread, which hardly ever are more than a couple pages. And often avoided for lack of interest. I think if there's no thread that obviously refers to the subject from the title (no one would look at "other games thread" and know that there's a controversial moment, ie toriiiii and his champange/getting plunked deal-e-o, discussed there) that another thread should be allowed if only to provide the linkage.

    If he keeps hovering around the mendoza line, I can't see him getting enough at bats. Here's to him getting his average up.

    Bull replied to stitchface's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    but it still comes in behind "playing with Hank Aaron." and the "trading in your girlfriend for a prettier middle reliever"

    I would hope he would make those plays. He really did not have to range into the hole to make a play. Everything was hit right at him. Im still not that confident with him at ss. Lou said that Theriot is the SS and for good reason. At least he can get on base. And by the way, MVP is a real solid game for the computer. I do have 30 homers with Lee at the end of May though :lol: I missed that. When did he say that.

    [Pessimism] "I think we all felt it was time to have Dr. Andrews go in and scope and look around and fix up some things," Hendry said. "When you pitch in the Major Leagues, any time you go in and scope somebody's shoulder, you can find some things to touch up." Doesn't look like there was that much wrong. He's toast.[/pessimism] [optimism]"All in all, this is a very negative result for Prior, but gives him the knowledge that he was pitching with significant damage." - Will Carrol makes it sound like a hurdle overcome. that and Prior at 26 is still younger than Rich Hill was last year.[/optimism]

    Wasn't that supposed to be this team's weakness? Powerful lineup, great, overcrowded bullpen, questionable starting pitching. This will not last. But then neither will Lee's powerlessness.

    Alright the first tenth of the season has been over for three games now. Its time to start winning.

    Only because he blew. fixed

    The question is, "can he hit?"
  14. Bull
    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.
  17. Bull
    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

    I hate Dusty more... me too.... maybe

    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.
