MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 OH MY GOD stop beating that home run call into the ground. It was three innings ago. Im actually loving it, the fact that the guy might have pulled a Jeffrey Meier for the Sox even though it looks like he didn't. I can finally put the Jeffrey Meier thing to bed after 7 long years...

Guest Bobby Cox is God Report post Posted October 9, 2003 His park-adjusted ERA was still 30% better than the league average for his entire career. Even accounting for his home park, he had an ERA of 2.04 or less for his final four seasons. That's an absurd statistic. He's one of the five best lefties of all time, along with Grove, Carlton, Spahn and probably Johnson. I can live with that. Some people like to call him the best of ALL time. He's clearly not the best of all time. Top 5 in the lefty category is fine, but he's not a top 5 pitcher of all time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank God for an 11-spot for the Cubs. The damn Marlins never quit. This Cabrera guy looks like he might be a really fine ballplayer one day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 I say let Prior get out of this inning and then go to the pen. No need to overwork him and you should get the pen some innings. Remlinger in the 7th, Farns in the 8th and maybe 9th since it prolly won't be a save situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 Take Prior out and let him rest. If your bullpen can't hold a nine run lead, then its probably not your year anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 Anyway...wow. Thank God for an 11-spot for the Cubs. The damn Marlins never quit. This Cabrera guy looks like he might be a really fine ballplayer one day. And that presents the question--who do the Marlins stick with, Lowell or Cabrera? Anyway, something I forgot to note is that if the Marlins had taken advantage of even half of their scoring chances in this game, we may have something resembling a game. Not to say it's over yet, but Prior's been far from himself tonight and had the Marlins gotten to him early, this may be a different game. And funny how the announcers spend so much time talking about how weak the Cubs outfielders are (which isn't to say that they aren't pretty average) and then Alou makes that boss throw to get the odd double-play.
