Guest Bullshiterica Report post Posted March 24, 2008 Sorry, guys, I'm not a believer in one inning of Ryan Dempster, let alone six. He's a finesse pitcher with no finesse. I think he'll be adequate for two months before he gets rocked a few times and replaced with Jon Lieber, who will also not be very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smartly Pretty 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 I ran my 5th period teacher some errands today in hopes that tomorrow she'll let me hang out in her room the first couple periods of the day watching Sox/A's. I wake up pretty early anyway, so I'll catch the first couple innings, but then when I have to leave for school I'm sort of fucked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krankor 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Cubs rotation: Zambrano, Lilly, Hill, Marquis, Dempster, closer is Wood. Snort. Yeah, this'll last. On paper it should be good, but I've seen how terrible Ryan Dempster and Rich Hill look at times. I think Dempster really should just be a middle relief pitcher. That Cubs bullpen still can use some improvement. I'd rather have Wood closing simply because it's going to be easier on his body. I'm more concerned with the disaster that is Scott Eyre. I think he's the Cubs only LHP in the bullpen. ESPN is listing some guy named Carmen Pignatiello as another lefty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 It looks like we can finally bury the Roberts to the Cubs trade rumors. I personally figured it was dead 2 or 3 weeks ago but it was kept alive on life support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 ESPN is listing some guy named Carmen Pignatiello as another lefty. He'd be an upgrade. And then there's always Sean Marshall, who isn't very good, but is also an upgrade from Eyre. I'm still not entirely sure how Dempster had all but secured a spot in the rotation before ST even started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Random Cubs question: What's the deal with getting weekend tickets to a game? I was planning a trip out there to see the Phillies and it seems that tickets for the Saturday and Sunday game are not on sale (the Thurs and Fri games are). Is there a reason for this?

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 With Capuano's injury and Claudio Vargas being released today, thr Brewers rotation looks much more clear. Sheets/Supan/Villanueva/Bush/Parra.

vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 The 'Stros released Woody Williams cuz he sucks. The rotation stands at: Oswalt Backe Wandy Chacon Sampson Releasing Woody bumps the starting pitching up from atrocious to merely below average. With the middle of the order being Pence, Berkman, Lee, Tejada and the pitching rotation being better than at the beginning of last year, I don't see how the 2008 Astros team is projected to lose as many games as last year. Four hitters capable of hitting between 25 and 30 HRs with around 100 RBI and Ty Wigginton who's capable of about 25/75 at least and trading Craig Biggio with Anal Fissure and Brad Ausmus with JR Towles seems to suggest that this year's team will be better than last year's team to me.
