  1. Speech! Speech! Happy bday, Bruce.
  2. Don't feel bad. Fielder is a late season choice anyway. Beltre and Jones should pick it up. Thomas...uh... Yeah, so Jones is good. I picked Milton Bradley...doh.
  3. Shouldn't that have an opposite effect? Hitting in front of the pitcher, wouldn't they occasionally unintentionally/intentionally walk the guy?
  4. Doesn't it feel good to finally be talking about Guzman pitching for the big club. with his luck, though, his arm will fall off during his next start.
  5. I think you mean OldCubsfan. Not unless they're the same person. Kessinger is on the list among the "not goods" of all time.
  6. I would love to see Don_Kessinger_was_good's take on this article.
  7. I think much of the "debate" is like two ships passing in the night and never catching sight of one another. No one to my knowledge has said that speed is a bad things. All else equal give me the faster guy. I think what has been discussed is the value of speed as a stand alone tool. In my opinon as a stand alone it has no real value at all. hits with speed>hits power with speed>power Field/arm with speed>field/arm Plate discipline with speed>plate discipline speed without any of the above = speed speed without any of the above = go run track, you no hit, no power, no glove, no arm, no eye loser.
  8. We have a day off tomorrow... shouldn't be a big deal. Anyway, did anyone thing the crowd reaction/tension in this game/energy makes this feel like a playoff game in April? That reaction to the Granny is reminicent of the crowd when Woody hit a HR in game 7, though obviously not QUITE as raucous. It just feels like a playoff game to me. Same camera shot as the Wood HR, that's probably why. that and the quality announcers
  9. They'll be fine the rest of the season. Their bad play in this series is all the fault of the cold showers.
  10. Izzy's ERA before today: 0.00 Currently; 13.50 I love the scewed stats at the beginning of the year
  11. I was just going to say that. It's not a matter of if they are going to mention it, it's when they are going to mention it. and how many times
  12. Derrek started off like a house afire last year. It was '04 when he had his typically slow start. Thanks. Obviously my memory filter was corrupted by the 2004-2005 debacle. I meant to reference the 2004 season. Yes, last season was a bit different as D. Lee had been a notorious slow starter. I will never claim to be a fountain of knowledge and I'm glad I have peeps here to cover my oversights! :D I guess 2004 and 2005 kind of bled together in my mind. I'm still in denial over the 2003 NLCS. :cry: I hear ya. I'm just now coming out of my cubbie-numbness from 2003. That's what happens when you watch the playoffs with Yankee fans.
  13. now arizona needs to beat milwaukee. well nevermind. milwaukee wins with a carlos lee walk off single, 5-4 Doesn't Milwaukee know they suck?
  14. Cubs WWWWWWIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  15. So it's ok to attack Neifi on this board, but not a precious former minor leaguer? Right on. It's not merit. It's personal favorites here. Whatever. An error is an error is an error. You're the one who seems to grade one error as worse than the other. Lee and Cedeno both made errors. One without the other leads to no runs. But with both, two runs scored. Also, Zambrano needs to pull his head out of his ass there and not get bent out of shape. He compounded the problem. Change the names and you've got a description of game 6. *flashback* ouch. I hate you for reminding me. /smacks Mr. Wood upside the head. Dude, I was already crying. You just...uh...compounded the problem. Or pounded my head. No, wait, it has to be your bull.

  17. True. They just need to take the blinders off for a second and be a little objective. :lol: Play nice.
