I am sorry I was unable to see the game last night, but why would you do a hit and run with Gonzo, who has so much trouble making contact? But yes a successful...
Well, the numbers don't support your argument. Shawn was 8-11 with a 5.73 ERA while Cruz was 2-7 with a 6.05 ERA. That is in no way better than Estes, who did...
Sure. My point is that the Cubs precisely couldn't pass up the trade, because it's far from settled that Choi is ready. We thought he'd be ready last year,...
You're looking at relatively poor indicators of a pitcher's effectiveness. The things pitchers have much more control over -- strikeouts, walks, and number of...
And also, you're right, Estes had a great start in the last week. The Cubs wouldn't have needed that start if he hadn't been so mediocre in the twenty-some...
Can you believe this game wasn't called for rain? I thought they'd call it at the end of 7 for sure. I'm glad we won in 9 innings though. More of a boost to...
... they'd call it ... I was afraid they were going to call it after 4. I kept thinking it would only go one more inning. What's with Renteria trying to bunt...
Lee's blunder was a bad play. He almost stopped 3 steps from first, then tried to take second. He was easily thrown out at second. I believe baserunning...
Neither were blunders in my opinion. Lee hesitated after rounding first (a mistake, but an easy one to make), and consequently was out at 2nd. He shouldn't...
... first (a ... 2nd. He ... human. Barrett ... just fell ... feet. Neither ... Well that's good to know. I was watching online and had the St. Louis feed....
If Clement keeps pitching like this he may not be the trade bait some of us thought (me included) at the end of spring training. He's been our best so far. ...
I was just looking over the roster, and I'm pleased with what I see--mostly. There's a good mix of older veterans with younger veterans (average age is under...
... My dog is named "Cubby". But then, he's a dog. ... Is he feared? Or is he cute? Is he cuddly? Has he ever won a pennant? I rest my case. ... He's never...
... <<I am reminded of Proverbs 15:1: A gentle answer quiets anger, but a harsh one stirs it up. Umpires will miss balls and strikes, but they can't be...
Those of you who can get the WGN radio signal had yet another great treat last night. Besides just calling an interesting game well, Pat egged Ron on and got...
If so, you're going to love Glendon Rusch. Look up his career stats and I think you'll see that here is another man who has made millions off the simple fact...
Anyone else bothered by how non-selective Corey has been at the plate lately? I think he has looked just terrible. The ultimate was an at bat in the last...
That's not what it says... Dueteronomy 6:7: "Teach them [God's laws] to your children. Repeat them when you are at home and when you are away, when you are...
Well, in any case, I suggest that Corey Patterson needs to heed the example of Abraham, and learn to sacrifice. -- CF4L On Sun, 02 May 2004 18:10:49 -0000,...
Yes, I heard the story - it was great!! I always love when Ronnie is trying to tell a story and he can't because he is laughing too hard!!! ... From:...
have you actually looked at Matt Clement's stats this year? he's 4-1 with like a 1.65 era....and last year he got us further in the playoffs than Willis...i...
Alex: A bunt is not a grounder that goes to a infielder. Pratice your bunting! Get a face protector and chest protector and bunt every day for 30 minutes. And...
Top of the ninth. Tie score. First man is on. What do you do. sacrifice. Move the runner to second. Make the pitcher work more. It is a distraction to keep...
I wouldn't say the Willis trade has turned out bad. Clement is 4-1 this season with a microscopic 1.95 ERA. Willis was a throw in. Wait until he's been in...
Lest we forget. . . That trade was really not about Willis or Clement. We were trading for a closer at the time and I think we traded Henry Rodriguez for...

I agree......can someone please explain why Dusty keeps putting him in there? I just don't understand it...maybe I'm missing something. I just cringe when I...
