amen about being glad to see
amen about being glad to see the last of busch...and props to justin for that nice writeup in the previous post.
even though the fans in stl are mostly classy, that stadium is hell to visiting teams.
wow...Baker really hates
wow...Baker really hates sitting Neifi on the bench, doesn't he. He will find any reason possible.
This is pretty mind blowing,
This is pretty mind blowing, but over the past 10 games, NE!F! has had 4, count em, 4(!) 3 hit games and one 2 hit game. Over his past six games he's had 3 hits, 0 hits, 3 hits, 0 hits, 3 hits, 0 hits.
Be on watch for a NE!F! trifecta tonight!
#2 It seems really sad that
It seems really sad that I don't want him to be a Cub next year because he is a great backup. Alas, with him starting over Walker I can't appreciate him. I really hope he goes elsewhere next season. C'mon Hendry, don't resign him.
I'm not a Neifi hater or a
I'm not a Neifi hater or a Dusty hater, but this is getting silly. We'd have to shut that guy in a meat locker to keep Dusty from starting him.
Something communistic about
Something communistic about artificial turf? If anything, the Communist would prefer natural grass. Harder to care for means a larger grounds crew bringing us closer to universal employment.
I just can't be happy for
I just can't be happy for the cubs bc it was neifi who drove in the run. It's like he's signing his name on the line to be our starter one hit at a time.
Still in the playoff hunt

Can someone explain to me why you wouldn't just start Maddux on 4 days rest for the rest of the year, skipping guys if necessary? He'd get an extra start that way.

Who, Minnesota?
With tonight's outing, Greg
With tonight's outing, Greg Maddux has officially reached the number of innings required (400 IP over 2004-05) for his 2006 contract option (and $9 mil salary) to vest.
So unless he retires or agrees to a trade, Mad Dog WILL be a member of the Cubs starting rotation in 2006.
I hate Neifi...he teases us
I hate Neifi...he teases us with a bunch of meaningless singles and then, with a chance to put the game away and assure the cubs a winning record at Busch, he GIDP (second time tonight) with the bases loaded. WORST PLAYER EVER

Now they can blow up Busch.
Looks like I missed out on
Looks like I missed out on drama tonight, I was watching the Astros and Braves. Great result though.
Can anybody with time summarize the umping goofs?
A short list of ones that I
A short list of ones that I saw:
Mulder getting a larger strike zone than Maddux.
A play at first where the umpire said that Lee was pulled off the bag, and I'm pretty sure he had the ball before he lost the bag.
A steal at second where the umpire called the baserunner safe, even though the Cardinals broadcast team said that it looked like he was out... which is the closest Hrabowsky and Buck will come to admitting they got a lucky call.
The last two occurred in the ninth inning and almost had an impact on the result of the game... Maddux was able to work well with the strike zone he was given.
Nice hit by Murton. The guy
Nice hit by Murton. The guy is batting .333 and can't crack the line-up. I wonder who had to spray the WD-40 on him prior to the game with how long he has been on the bench.
it was very suprising maddux
it was very suprising maddux didnt flip...he was LIVID in the dugout about not getting the same calls mulder was.
Hey, where are all the guys
Hey, where are all the guys who "knew" that Dontrelle Willis wouldn't win 20 games?
But then these are the same people who didn't know he was worth keeping in the first place.
im not one of the ones who
im not one of the ones who thought he wasnt worth keeping, nor did i think he wasnt capable of winning...
but seriously, dontrelle wasnt on anyone's radar (just like clement wasnt) when that trade went down.
one of the reasons willis was expendable was his inability to change his windup and delivery. he was expected to be an injury risk of the highest order.
he's got an extremely violent and top-heavy delivery AND throws across his body...the fact his arm is still in one piece is a testament to genetics...i guess that's same toughness is what makes his mom a steel welder for a living.
if you take your way-back-machine 3-4 years ago there probally wouldnt be one person who wouldnt predict a major shoulder/elbow injury for willis by now...go figure...go baseball...
btw..yes, his AA numbers
btw..yes, his AA numbers were there on willis, but his mechanics scared people to death.
And Bluewater Pennant, where
And Bluewater Pennant, where were your complaints about trading Willis when the deal happend 4 years ago?
Oh yeah, you weren't even following the Cubs then.
Has anyone actually read
Has anyone actually read somewhere that the Cubs thought Willis' delivery was an injury waiting to happen? Someone in the Cub organization actually broke down a pitcher's delivery and deemed it dangerous? Who is this genius? Can we introduce him to Kerry Wood? Angel Guzman? Mark "Aches and Pains" Prior?
The only thing that would amaze me more is if I heard they had a high-level discussion concerning the benefits of having a leadoff man with a high on base percentage.
I haven't been around
I haven't been around much..but I see Cubswinthepennant is still obsessed with former Cubs players to the point of sickness.
For the 3 people in the City of Chicago who thought at the time that getting Alf and Clement for Willis was a bad trade...congrats to you on Willis' 20 win season.
Shit happens.
they actually tried to get
they actually tried to get willis to smooth out his delivery, but it didnt take and his comfort allowed him to go back to his self-learned vida-blue-on-crack delivery.
there is nothing about willis's mechanics that equal health. he's holding together, though...good for him. its a nice arguement for how not all pitchers are made equally and cant be judged solely on perceptions.
just like perfect mechanics dont mean you got a 100% chance of health, imperfect mechanics dont mean you got a 100% chance of injury.
the cubs didnt get rid of him because of it...they devalued his worth because of it and he became a piece of a trade.
supposedly willis wasnt even the 1st guy florida even wanted as a toss-in.
Ignoring the bizarre and
Ignoring the bizarre and unnecessary comments by a bleeding bore and a dumbass troll, Dontrelle Willis' accomplishment is simply amazing. He's only the thirteenth black pitcher to win 20 games in the major leagues. And to do it in the age of five-man rotations and in only his third year is even more incredible. Not to mention the fact that he's the first 20 game winner in Marlins history.
But Willis is not only a great pitcher, he's a good hitter, an accomplished baserunner and fine fielder of his position as well.
And contrary to what some of the gasbags who occasionally stalk these hallowed halls may say, his ability was obvious to anyone who really took a look at him.
Like Pudge Rodriguez who caught Willis' first major league game said,
"I knew since the first start that he was going to be a great pitcher."
And of course it's completely relevant to mention Willis' 20th win on the night he did it when we have no less than Andy McFail claiming that Willis is an example of how well the Cubs minor league system is doing since he took over and reshaped it.
who exactly said willis
who exactly said willis sucked?
his only big concern was how long he could hold out without getting injured as far as what ive heard.
And I was a bit surprised
And I was a bit surprised that he's maintained his velocity. It's up a few MPH from last season, from the limited stuff I have seen on him.
Dontrelle Willis hadn't
Dontrelle Willis hadn't pitched an inning above Low-A ball at the time of the trade, incidentally.
And not even the Marlins are pretending that they ever thought that Willis would be anywhere near this good. Hindsight is 20/20.
Furthermore, the Cubs received Matt Clement as a throw-in in that deal too, and he also turned out better than expected. Remember that the main target in that trade was Antonio Alfonseca, and that's the real reason why that was a misguided trade.
Just be grateful the Cubs didn't trade Carlos Zambrano, because him turning into one of the best starting pitchers in baseball came as a bit of a surprise to everyone too. The Cubs flirted with trading him, converting him to a long reliever and making him a closer, he was basically a huge question mark, before they just settled for putting him at the back of the rotation, expecting an ERA nearer 4.11 than the 3.11 that they actually got in 2003. Again, hindsight is 20/20.
1. John Hill makes an
1. John Hill makes an excellent point that unless someone had the gift of prophecy, no one could tell in March 2002 that Dontrelle would turn out this good. The trade was Taveras for Alfonseca with Clement and Willis as throw-ins. the trade still would not have worked out to bad for the Cubs if they had resigned Clement.
2. Howeer, Crunch, you can't buy the organization's Bush like after the fact rationalizations for the trade, that "they were worried about his delivery." This organization from the majors (Wood and Prior) to the minors, has been one pitching injury after another from 2003-2005. Tbone's comments are right on. The Cubs don't have a clue about keeping pitchers healthy (to the extent that is within any team's power - basically you can do things to mitigate and try to select pitchers who show their arms and bodies can stand up to the stress of what is, under any circumstances, a pretty stress act of throwing a ball 90 mph off of a small hill).
3. Congrats to Greg Maddux for pitching another gem tonight. When you get old like me, you have a real fondness for the old stars when they shine.
4. "Wait till Next Year," Neifi's whole value offensively is his batting average, and for all players BA is quite a bit of luck (hard shots that go right at someone and little dribblers and dinks that fall just out reach). Neifi is a natural to GIDP because he will hit a ground ball to an infielder at least six out every 10 plate appearances. He does not walk, he does not usually drive the ball deep, so when there is a runner on first, expect to see a GIDP at least half the time. You can't get mad at Neifi when he does what the odds say he is likely to do. You may want be a little unhappy with the manager who keeps drawing to this particular inside straight all the time. How come I have this sinking feeling that Neif will be our starting SS next season?
"Crunch, you can't buy the
"Crunch, you can't buy the organization's Bush like after the fact rationalizations for the trade, that "they were worried about his delivery.""
that goes beyond the orgainzation...the guy throws very violently and across his body...all-in-all its a recipie for disaster. hasnt happened and he's still going strong, so chalk one up for genetics.
there's a lotta people suprised he's still in one piece more than he's successful. batters cant read him well and his control has always been good.
even though im a notorious lefty-starter hater i wish he was still a cub.
Cubfaningermany - you are
Cubfaningermany - you are absolutely right about Neifi and the dreaded GIDP. He now has 20, and is fifth in baseball in that category. In addition, three of the four guys with more GIDPs have OPS's above .800; only the atrocious David Bell is worse than Neifi. Now, I might be OK with Neifi as the starting SS if the Cubs go out and pick up two big outfield bats, either via trade or through the slender free agent pickings. Neifi's defense has been excellent (well above average according to most defensive metrics) and the money saved by not signing Nomar or Furcal could be used towards getting those outfield bats and improving the bench. Plus, the caveat here is that Neifi hits eighth. However, back to the original point, Neifi is a DP machine and it is a truly deadly trait. Every time I start to get comfortable with him playing a large role next year, facts like this make me very uncomfortable.
Can someone please explain
Can someone please explain to me why Murton was replaced with Patterson in the bottom of the ninth? In a close game, I can understand bringing in Patterson for defense, but why move Hairston over to left? Can he possibly be a better defender in left than Murton? Does Murton have an injury or something? Does Dusty know that Murton isn't Dubois?
the willis trade was a good
the willis trade was a good one at the time. in fact, the cubs did a good job of "positioning" by stating that julian tavarez was an important part of their rotation. tavarez was the primary component of the deal if you remember...the real issue is how cabrerra and willis were able to contribute so much to the marlins 03 team. that stuff never happens to the cubs because we never develop talent at the major league level.
the cubs won two games this
the cubs won two games this week with murton and cedeno in the lineup. too bad cedeno didn't get any hits-that means he'll be sitting tonight.
Can someone explain to me
Can someone explain to me why you wouldn't just start Maddux on 4 days rest for the rest of the year, skipping guys if necessary? He'd get an extra start that way.
There's only one "reason," Baby Maddux, and that's because Baker's an idiot. I've been hoping and praying they'll do right by Maddux in this respect; by skipping Williams on the 20th and Rusch on the 26th, Maddux would be slated to pitch the last game of the year, all on regular rest.
The real gaffe occurred on August 26th when, instead of pitching Maddux on regular rest, Rusch was given his turn. Not only did this mean Maddux lost two days (because of an off-day the following week), but it also meant he was forced to go against a red-hot Dontrelle Willis. There were two very obvious reasons for pitching Maddux on regular rest.
1) The seasons's over, so give the guy a shot at continuing his unbelievable, unprecedented streak.
2) Rusch had been pitching like crap.
To be fair, there was one good argument for giving Doggie an extra day's rest. He was coming off a Colorado start, after which he says he often experiences a "hangover."
I'll give kudos to Baker for finally saying some well-deserved nice things about Maddux, but I've never seen a manager with such a facility for doing the wrong thing. I hope to God he does one thing right (well, two things) by continuing to pitch Maddux on regular rest.
...I've never seen a manager
...I've never seen a manager with such a facility for doing the wrong thing.
Halle-freaking-lujah. I about crapped myself when he bunted with Barrett in the 8th (9th?). Men on first and second, nobody out, you have a guy coming up with an .831 OPS and *YOU BUNT HIM*?!?! And pretty clearly Barrett's not a good bunter, because on the radio at least it sounded like he almost popped out in foul territory twice. If the Cubs got a blowup doll in the dugout who just let the players hit and never gave them the bunt, steal, or hit-and-run sign, they would have won more games this year. Especially if it was a blowup doll who didn't hate kids or have an irrational attachment to Neifi! and Macias.
Related: does anyone know of an Expected Run Value calculator out there? I can find charts that list ERV for different states of the game pretty easily, but these don't figure for the relative skill of the hitter and pitcher. I'd be interested to see how much more costly it is when the hitter is above-average (like, calculate ERV more accurately based on OPS and WHIP or some such).
If Baker skips Williams at
If Baker skips Williams at all, count on at least 3-4 comments that Dusty is ruining Williams' confidence by doing so.

Great J-DAMN, so one GS and
Great J-DAMN, so one GS and he's all of sudden Albert Pujols? Should we ignore all his shortcomings, because he hit one game winning homer? Heck, even Patterson did that this year. Does that warrant an everyday starting job for either of them?
Who said anything about
Who said anything about Neifi being Albert Pujols? I love the TCR hyperbole. No one should ignore his shortcomings...but how about *not* igorning that he's been pretty decent this year? No, we can't do that, it's TCR!
Bob - The hyperbole was
Bob - The hyperbole was because it was the other side of the spectrum from J-Damn's comment. He wants people to remember the GS and weigh it over everything else.
No one is ignoring his year. Neifi had a decent one. It would have been much better if 314 of his 483 ABs (so far) hadn't been in the 1 or 2 spot in the batting order. That's not his fault, but it's a fact.
For those who care, Neifi
For those who care, Neifi leads NL SS in BA, is 8th in OBP and is 4th in slugging.
Neifi is not the problem, how he is used is.
Neifi is part of the
Neifi is part of the problem, partially because of himself, partially because of how he has been used, and partially because he can't be "hidden" on a team with so many other offensive weaknesses.
FYI - The NL SS group is not very good. All the real good offensive SS are in the AL. His ML rankings in the same categories...
BA - 5th
OBP - 16th
SLG - 10th
and OPS - 13th
Also he doesn't have another peripheral, like patience at the plate or speed to help balance this out. He leads the team in GIDP at 20 and only has 7 SBs. Basically, he's avg-mediocre in several statistics and below avg at others. He doesn't perform great in any one offensive stat, let alone a couple, to offset his weaknesses. That said, he's a wonderful back up IF. I'd be a big fan if used appropriately.
Also, if you look at it
Also, if you look at it through fewest outs per PA among SS starters, Neifi's 20th.
Keep in mind that this is a career year for Neifi. If that doesn't sum it up, I don't know what does.
"That said, he's a wonderful
"That said, he's a wonderful back up IF. I'd be a big fan if used appropriately."
As I said Neifi is not the problem, it is how he has been used.
I don't think that's what
I don't think that's what J-Damn was doing, though. He was just countering that someone else said all Neifi does is hit meaningless singles and didn't come through a couple of times in last night's game, which was at Busch and which the original poster brought up, re: a winning record there. The grand slam won a game at Busch. See, that's the point, and it didn't deserve the "Pujols" backlash accompanied by more ad nauseum Neifi discussion. It was just a flip remark about one game at Busch.
But I could be wrong.
And Ron hits it on the head.
And Ron hits it on the head. We would all love to celebrate the year Neifi is having (well I would), it's something special to be having a career year and still being nothing more than mediocre compared to your peers. The fear though is that it translates into more playing time (which it has this season), and potentially a starting job next season with the club. If anyone of us had faith in Dusty or Hendry that they could look beyond this year and realize what a fluke season he is having, a fluke season that still doesn't make him all that great, then we probably wouldn't be worrying about it too much.
But you know after the Holly disaster, that there's a high potential of him being resigned and for us to hear those ill-fated words from Dusty next season, "Dude, I can't forget what he did for us last year". and watch Dusty pencil him in everyday at the #2 spot in the order.
So, with a bit of sadness, I have to root against Neifi at this point of the season, not to prove that I was right all along, but in the hopes that he shows enough of his true nature for the Cubs to forget all about him for next season (at least as a starter).
I love post #39. If GIDP %
I love post #39. If GIDP % meant anything, then I think that Miguel Tejada sucks.
I have an idea for our boy Greg. It seems that he has the chance to win 15 again. But if he doesn't get it after his last scheduled start then I have a plan:
In the last game (assuming that the wild card has been decided), only let our starter go 4 innings. Then put Maddux in for as long as he can go (two days rest) and hopefully he can leave the game while the Cubs are ahead and can qualify for the win.
Any takers?
Maddux has integrity. That
Maddux has integrity. That is something others on the Cubs would think up, and Maddux would decline. No way. The guy is a pro. If he gets there, he gets there. If not, he doesn't.
Chad, you miss the point
Chad, you miss the point completely. Sure, Tejada has hit into a bunch of double plays; however, he has been able to compensate for that flaw by putting up a .908 OPS. Neifi, even with his current hot streak, has an OPS of barely over .700. Tejada hits the ball hard a lot, thus 76 extra base hits - a repercussion is the double plays. Neifi doesn't hit the ball hard a lot, yet still hits into a ton of DPs. Let's have some perspective.
Oh, and as for your Maddux
Oh, and as for your Maddux idea, I think it's ridiculous. Bending over backwards to satisfy some individual player's statistical streak is silly, and that goes double for an overrated stat like wins. I think Maddux would be the first to laugh your idea off.
I can't believe anyone needs
I can't believe anyone needs statistics to realize that Neifi Perez should not be a Major League starting SS. There is something wrong with that.
I can't believe anyone needs
I can't believe anyone needs statistics to realize that Neifi Perez should not be a Major League starting SS. There is something wrong with that.
Maddux wouldn't back into
Maddux wouldn't back into it. But it does remind me of the time Griffey Sr. was leading the leauge in hitting and tried sitting out the last day of the season. Bill Madlock ended up going 5-5, Griffey heard he was having a good day and put himself in to no avail. Madlock won the batting title.
And that, in a nutshell, is what it's like being a Cub fan. The Cubs didn't beat the Big Red Machine but on the last day of one season one Cub did embarrass one member of the Big Red Machine. Our victories are few and small.
What, like when Don Baylor
What, like when Don Baylor insisted on starting Fred McGriff when it was clear that the season was over (and to be fair, that year the season was over after about June) just so he could get his 30 home runs for a 5th or 6th different team?
Something tells me Maddux's
Something tells me Maddux's record will last forever regardless of whether or not he extends it by another year.
Well, Bob. If you didn't
Well, Bob. If you didn't want discussion on it then I guess you shouldn't have replied to my comment.
Chad, On Maddux he just
On Maddux he just seems too classy to do something like that.
How in the hell are Wins overrated. Yes they don't indicate how good a pitcher is because it has more to with run support than anything else, but last I checked the teams that win the most games tend to make the playoffs.
How in the hell are Wins
How in the hell are Wins overrated.
Matt Clement is a perfect example of why wins as a statistic are overrated:
2004: ERA: 3.68, Record: 9-13, WH
2005: ERA: 4.17, Record: 13-3, WH
Even after adjusting for league differences, you can still see a pretty clear difference between the two years. What is the difference? Boston has a hell of an offense, and the Cubs last year did not.
Maddux has integrity. That
Maddux has integrity. That is something others on the Cubs would think up, and Maddux would decline. No way. The guy is a pro. If he gets there, he gets there. If not, he doesn't
If we were talking about what Randy Johnson did to get his first 20-win season (win #20 in relief), then I'd agree 100%. And I'm sure Maddux would, too (unless it was the 16th inning or something). But to suggest that pitching him on regular rest so that he gets an additional start would in any way cheapen the achievement makes absolutely no sense to me.
For the Braves, Maddux and Glavine generally pitched every 5 days, even if that meant that the #4 or #5 starter was skipped for a turn (or delayed at least a day or two). Even if Maddux weren't close to an individual achievement, I would favor skipping Rusch and Williams whenever possible, 5-inning perfect games not withstanding. Now you are right that Maddux might decline the offer if he felt that he was being singled out for an individual achievement, and you definitely are right that Maddux has integrity (he practically defines the word), but I still completely disagree with your conclusion.
Yeah wins are overrated.
Yeah wins are overrated. Tell that to Dontrelle Willis. Wins are not overrated. They are, by them self, a bad stat to compare pitchers over one year. But in the end, winning 15 games for twenty years is very impressive. As well, a pitcher who wins 20 games once (Jose Lima) does not make him a hall of famer but if you win 300, that does.
Something tells me Maddux's
Something tells me Maddux's record will last forever regardless of whether or not he extends it by another year.
Now you've convinced me, John. Come to think of it, it was selfish of DiMaggio to continue that silly hitting streak after he hit 50 games or so. It's not like anyone's likely to break that record, after all. Why didn't he give someone else a chance? And how about that Cy Young? 511 wins -- gee, what an ego. You'd think 490, or okay, 500, would be enough. And why did Aaron keep on playing after home run 715? God knows he wasn't the ballplayer he was 10 years earlier.
When someone actually explains how it would be selfish (or "backing in," as someone put it) for Maddux to start an additional game by throwing on regular rest -- not steal someone else's win by entering in the 5th inning, or pitch every fourth day but pitch no more then 5 innings if the Cubs have a lead, or leave a game after an inning if he gets shelled (and come back on two days rest to try it again) -- if someone can tell me in a rational way how that would show a lack of integrity, I'm all ears.

Well, Newman (said with disgust, a la Seinfeld), I never said not to discuss it. I questioned the way it was done. Note: questioned it, not said don't discuss it. I personally think the response to the original poster was kind of silly and pointless. But I wouldn't expect the person who made the comment to agree.

No one ever said that winning 15 games in 16 straight seasons was not impressive. But that does not mean that wins as a stat are notoverrated.
Win in themselves are not overrated, but when used as a statistical tool to analyze players they are somewhat worthless.

I don't think that Maddux starting on his normal rest would be selfish, though it would be more so if he asked to do this in order to break the record.
I do think that the idea of having Maddux come in during the 4th inning in order to pick up the win would be pretty ridiculous.

Yes, my proposal was serious. I see you disagree with me and that's fine. I wanted honest feedback and I got it.
Re Post #68
I disagree. I would say that wins are a great tool to analyze a player. I would not look at wins over one season but over many seasons. Like I referenced before, Jose Lima. He won 20 once but over his career, he's not that good. But Matt Clement came up. And I think he is a perfect example of why wins are a great tool. No matter what, Clement will win @12 games every year.
"No matter what, Clement
"No matter what, Clement will win @12 games every year."
Put him on KC and I highly doubt that.

I was referring to Chad in this - Chad proposed this idea in a way that at least appeared serious.
Sorry, Big (and anyone else who I didn't realize was responding to Chad)! Vulturing wins in the 4th or 5th innings would make the achievement meaningless, and it's not something that Maddux would ever agree to.
By the way, there were a couple seasons in Atlanta in which Greg ended with 19 wins and would have had a fine chance at 20 if he had pitched 5 or more innings in his final start. Instead, he preferred to use it as a tuneup for the playoffs, leaving after an inning or two (or as long as it took him to feel like he was ready for his next start).
He's always been the ultimate team player; and although I'm sure he enjoys personal achievements as much as the next guy, he's never let that get in the way of what's really important. He's also gone 20 years without ever calling out a teammate in public, even if that teammate screwed up a play that turned a win into a loss with his name next to it. And you'll notice that he could care less that his $9 million option has vested; if he doesn't feel the Cubs want him (and if he doesn't feel he belongs in the rotation) then he won't come back. Fortunately, I think the answer to those questions is "they do" and "he does." I'll be very sad when he hangs it up, but I'm sure it'll be at the right time. And as far as I'm concerned, I hope he extends the 15+ streak to 20 years -- a nice round number. I'll bet Baby Maddux concurs.
Have not posted in a long
Have not posted in a long time folks but I think you know I am probably the most Maddux obsessed of all of you ( how many of you tried to watch all of his BRAVES starts) and I think skipping OTHER starters in order to
give him an extra start even on 4 days rest is not the right thing. Rusch was yanked around enough this year and it nearly destroyed him, Williams deserves his starts to see if he can stay in the rotation next year. I think going out of the way to change the rotation to give him an extra start is the wrong thing and goes against
the kind of traditional team first baseball he has always
stood for
i will say this, Dusty
i will say this, Dusty should go to Greg and ask him if Greg wants to get an extra start (if even possible). If Greg asks for it, than ANY reasonable accommodation should be made to allow this. Of course, if Greg loses or get a ND in his next three starts, the point will be moot.
Have not posted in a long
Have not posted in a long time folks but I think you know I am probably the most Maddux obsessed of all of you ( how many of you tried to watch all of his BRAVES starts)
I think it's probably a tie, Jessica. I gave up the Cubs when Maddux left for Atlanta. I only came back to them when he came back. I've lived in New Jersey, Illinois, Wisconsin, and (now) Maryland and I've always followed whichever team he was playing for. I now have the MLB Extra Innings Package (why didn't I figure that one out YEARS ago?!), mostly to be able to see as many of his starts as I possibly can. When I can't watch one, I listen on radio or internet. When I can't do that, I watch the transcript on GameDay. I never miss a pitch, and I tape 'em all. I read practically every word written about the guy and cherish every word that comes out of his mouth. When I'm bummed after a tough loss and/or a bad outing, it's usually his calm perspective that makes me feel better.
I take your point about "go[ing] against
the kind of traditional team first baseball he has always stood for" -- but keep in mind (as you already know) that he had no problem when Braves' starters were skipped to keep him (and Glavine, and sometimes Smoltz) on a regular rotation for all those years. Some of those starters ended up being pretty good pitchers in their own right (e.g., Schmidt, Millwood, Neagle, Odalis Perez, Marquis, etc.).
I know for sure he wouldn't go to Baker and request it, but if Dusty penciled him in on his fifth day, he'd take the ball. And he probably wouldn't even analyze the reason for it, despite being as analytical as they come. "Skip tells me it's my turn to pitch, I pitch." That kinda thing.
So you and I differ in our conclusion, but I think we agree on 99% of the important stuff. I admire him greatly, as you do, as much for his approach to life as for his greatness as a pitcher. I hope the streak continues, but either way I'll live. And so will he. I think his dad might take it kinda hard, though. :)
And I sure will be sad when he retires. Do you think it'll be tough on you? There'll be a void in my life. It's tough enough waiting the six months for the next season, let alone the days between starts. I'd love to see him stay in the game (or come back to it). The obvious role is as a pitching coach, but I think he'd make an outstanding bench coach. He could manage, too, but I think he's pretty shy. The behind-the-scenes role of a bench coach, advising the manager on every aspect of the game, just seems perfect.

video of Maddon.
always nice that he actually tries to honestly answer questions. Does mention that he wanted to give Zastr? a chance in a meaningful spot rather than a mop-up role.
from Muskat:
#Cubs Maddon: "I'm not going to make up an excuse for why I did what I did. It has nothing to do with lack of confidence" ... "It was the right thing to do today based on what I saw, what their lineup looked like and Rob Z.'s availability." #Cubs
Hammel not particularly understanding of getting pulled out...as he should. Be curious what Maddon had to say. All I can think of is is keeping arms fresh and maybe wanting to see if Zastr? is worth considering for the playoffs and how he'd do against the Dodgers.
great defense
Heyward, Russell, Baez, Bryant, Ross in particular...although Bryant's a bit hard to judge with all the positions.
Fowler and Rizzo in the top half of the NL for their positions as well (per fangraphs)...Zobrist right at the halfway cutoff for 2b in the NL.
I'm sure some luck is involved too, but the Cubs and Maddon knew what they were doing.
If all the starters have FIP > ERA, is that luck or good defense?
#Cubs plummet to 19-5 in August.
Fun with FIP
- J. Hammel 3.07 ERA/4.27 FIP (3.68 FIP last year)
- J. Arrieta 2.62 ERA/3.05 FIP (2.35 FIP last year)
- J. Lester 2.81 ERA/3.67 FIP (2.92 FIP last year)
- K. Hendricks 2.19 ERA/3.37 FIP (3.36 FIP last year)
- J. Lackey 3.41 ERA/3.72 FIP (3.57 FIP last year with Cards)
zastyryzryzryzny put in 3.2ip 1h 0bb 3k
he's great when his control is "on"...problem is it's rarely "on" consistently. he could vault up the cubs prospect list if he ever gets better with that aspect of his game.
JD's take was just trying to get in a lefty to better deal with mostly lefty Dodgers lineup.
My second thought was what you came up with. My first thought was he was trying to light a fire under Hammel.
Maybe he was trying to spare him another brutal road start? NY, Colorado...
joe got a pitcher up for hammel at nearly the 1st sign of trouble in the 3rd...pulled after 2.1
not injured and though it wasn't his day so far he wasn't looking like a pure disaster.
really short leash on him. zastryznzryzryny in.
Russell and Soler can attest that Urias has a pretty good curve/slider - two big strikeouts looking to get out of that jam in the first.
Classic Scully - great stuff.
Thank God we'll still have Hawk next season. (cricket cricket cricket)
Here's Scully's call on Bryant's 10th-inning homer:
"And it's a long fly ball, a mean fly ball, and a gone fly ball."
When the Cubs were the old, hundred-year Cubs, one bad hop did not undo their opponents.
If only he was clutcher. More clutcher.
cubs win...bryant with 7HR in his last 8 games.

Anushka Shetty's make-up controversy yet to be solved!
Anushka Shetty, who is fondly called as Sweety by her family members and friends, seems to be unwilling to end her make-up artist issue soon. Earlier, we have read about the controversy over her make-up artist not being a member of Make Up Artist Union. Now, it has got a twist, as the actress has reportedly done her make-up on her own.
According to reports, Anushka Shetty had earlier stood up for her make-up artist when he was chided by Tamil Film Workers Union. During the shooting of Karthi's Alex Pandian, about 30 members protested against the actress for hiring a make-up artist from other state and demanded the actress' artist to register her name in their guild.
However, Karthi intervened to resolve the issue and had asked Anushka's make-up artist to leave the sets. But the actress, who was hurt by the incident, is now managing on the make-up part on her own and has not hired anyone for the job.

I sent in a 50.00 check which they cashed and then called them and started working over the phone with one of their customer service agents (Jacques). I told him I wanted my travel dates to be Nov. 1 & 2. They said if I wanted to due this without 60 days notice it would cost me another $37.50 which I agreed to but didn't pay yet.
Jacques then proceeded to tell me he could put me in a Ramada in NYC on those days but was very unclear about the hotel. I asked him to please check on a Marriott since that was what the packet was for. He told me he would do that and call me the next day. That was two weeks ago. I have since called numerous times and anyone I talk to tells me that Jacques is working on it.
How long does it take to get a hotel reservation????
I guess I've been ripped off. Lesson learned!
The worse part is I already bought my airline ticket which I will not not be able to use.

So, I think all of this is behind me now. I've done everything I'm supposed to do. Then one day about a year ago at work, I start receiving phone calls from a person claiming to be Scott Johnson or some such nonsense. He claims that because I have not paid my debt to his company, they are going to have me arrested while I'm at work. I told him that I would be more than happy to pay any debt that I actually owed if he would send me the information pertaining to the debt. He claimed that all he was authorized to do was contact me to make payment arrangements. When he started getting beligerant with me, I hung up on him. He called back 10 times in 15 minutes. I filed a police report on my way home that evening pertaining to the harrassing phone calls and didn't hear from him again.
Then about a week ago, I got a call from the manager at my former job. She was calling to let me know that a "Daniel White" was trying to get in contact with me from State Investigations office. He didn't say what state investigative office he alledgedly works for, only that it was imperative that I return his call. I went ahead and called the officer who was handling the harrassing phone calls last year to let him know about this interesting little update. I'll be calling Mr. White back in a day or two when my lawyer is back in town and can be present for the call. The number that he gave me to call him back at was (360) 637-4971. I'll post updates as I have more information about it.

help! should I drop out of my MFA writing program?
I started a MFA writing program in Vancouver this fall. I wasn't sure about whether I should go or not to begin with, and now, I'm still second-guess and worrying I made a big mistake. I'm unhappy, often, and I'm worried that if I stay it will be for the wrong reasons: a big, heavy sunken cost fallacy. Can you help, please? Long complicated backstory inside. [more inside]
Will this hurt my chances at finding employment? What should I do?

What are some alternatives to going to college?
What are some options for a bright young man who wants to delay college? It can be volunteer-based, overseas, career ideas, special programs, alternate ideas of how to approach higher learning...anything.

Is she calling off the wedding?
The other night, I met my Fiancee and we went out on a date. She is a wonderful person and I am madly in love with her. We've been together for less then a year but we're already planning a wedding next year. She wants to study abroad in out of the country the last semester of school (Spring). When I expressed concern that we wouldn't be as close when she got back as we are now, she said that If I'm concerned about that, we should NOT be getting married. What do you think? [more inside]
How do I get through the day with two autoimmune diseases?

Should I complete this masters program?
LifePlansFilter: I'm currently enrolled in graduate school in a masters of secondary education in art program. I enrolled as a way to explore my creativity in studio classes, and also as something to do during unusual life circumstances. Being in this program will continue to be an option for me for a limited time.

How do I tell my professor I have essentially "wasted" my extension due to psychological blocks?
"Now semester 3 for me starts next Monday and my paper is just as unfinished as it was three weeks ago. I spent over a good half of my break sitting in front of the computer screen crying, unable to write anything legitimate. I have no idea why, perhaps I just lack the confidence, but I kept feeling overwhelmed and would just sit there and cry.... Looking back I probably could have written it three or four times over, and I deeply, deeply, regret not just withdrawing... I did make progress, but it is nowhere near to being a finished paper. There is no way it can be finished by Monday, and at this point I just want it to go away and disappear." [more inside]

Animal doctor school
I am 32 and I recently decided that I would like to become a veterinarian. As I am getting on in the "picking a career" years I have a few questions. I only have a B.A. in Psych to start with. Would it make sense to go to school to become a vet technician or vet technologist first? I'm a little lost on how to get started with the whole thing.
What should I do with the next few years of my life?
I'm a high school senior trying to plan the next few years of my life. I'll definitely take a year off before college, but everything else is still up in the air. [more inside]
go back to school?
I am in the middle of a year off from college and im still not sure if I want to go back. I know that "college is important" but I don't see myself working 9-5 in an office for the rest of my life. I often day dream about going to the carribean or costa rica and living there for a couple of years. (+) [more inside]

The AFC features five players who wear No. 24, including three corners, which has caused some confusion with autograph seekers and photographers leading up to Sunday's all-star game.
The quintet of 24s include New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis, Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey, Houston Texans cornerback Johnathan Joseph, San Diego Chargers running back Ryan Mathews and Jacksonville Jaguars special teamer Montell Owens.
They all posed for photos together after Friday's practice.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Plans for a $34.6 million ambulatory care center in Columbia County have been canceled.
In 2008, the then-Medical College of Georgia Physicians Practice Group got approval for a state-of-the-art health care facility at the intersection of Knob Hill Farm Road and Washington roads in Evans.
This week, after more than three years in the works, the Board of Directors for the Physicians Practice Group unanimously decided to cancel the project because of the economy.
They say the economy dramatically changed the business model for the 2008 proposal. According to the Chief Financial Officer, the original project was expected to run $23 million, however, by the time construction was set to begin, that price tag had nearly doubled to $44 million.
The plans called for a 65,000 square-foot facility for poor and low-income residents in Columbia County and to expand opportunities for medical students.
In a press release, Physicians Practice Group says: "The Department of Community Health approved the project in September 2008, but construction was delayed by appeals, which were resolved in March 2010."
CEO David Hefner says the group is still working on long-term agreements with other health care partners in and around Columbia County. Right now, the sign along Washington Road will come down and a final decision on the land has yet to be made.
News 12 will have more on this decision on News 12 at 6 o'clock.

I was borded today and surfing on the internet i decided to look up the Chinese animal zodiac signs, talk about far fetched.... All they do is basically tell you all the characteristics you 'should' have if your born in that year. After reading them all I come to the conclusion that I don't believe in the Chinese animal zodiac junk one bit! Think about it... They throw out enough random traits and characteristics so of course some people may relate to their animal but the same amount of people won't, it's a 50/50 chance. I thought of quite a few people i know, along with myself, and checked out their signs and surprise, surprise! Most of the people were either not even close to the description they 'should' live up to and the others only had half the traits they 'should' have. Only a couple people i checked out were a fairly close description of their animal.
Then there is the Westernese (or whatever you wanna call it.. example: scorpio, libra, ect..) zodiac signs and past couple weeks i've been paying attention to mine and i find those type of signs a lot closer to the mark for me. I'd say about 7/10 times when I look up my sign each day it is either almost right on the money or pretty darn close.
By the way my chinese animal sign is the Dog and my other zodiac sign is the Libra.

Tyson Fury: I Will Show Vitali Why He Should Fight Me!
WBO intercontinental heavyweight champion Tyson Fury will face American Kevin Johnson in next month's WBC heavyweight title fight in Belfast.
Lancashire-born Fury was set to fight Denis Boytsov on December 1, but the Russian withdrew in October.
Johnson, from New Jersey, has won 28 of his 31 fights and drew attention to himself with an epic WBC heavyweight title bout against Vitali Klitschko in 2009.
Quoted on BBC Sport, Fury said: "Johnson is the kind of opponent that I want - we needed a world-class fighter and we've got one.
"When I take him apart the world will sit up and take notice.
"I am getting closer to a shot at Klitschko myself and I'm going to show Vitali why he has to fight me because when I do a number on Johnson and get him out of there I'll have done a better job than Vitali did on him."
Fury is targeting a shot at reigning world heavyweight champion Klitschko after claiming the vacant WBO intercontinental heavyweight title against Vinny Maddalone in July.
Johnson, who turned professional in 2002, added: "It's going to be the best American fighter against the best fighter in the UK.
"Tyson is a helluva fighter but he's never seen anything like the "Kingpin" up close and personal.
"I'm not Derek Chisora or Neven Pajkic - I'm the real deal and Tyson will find that out on 1 December."
