QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 20, 2012 -> 02:03 PM) Cy Maholm on the mound. He's pitching a pretty great game, but his pitch count has to be getting up there. Seems like he's 2-2, 3-2 on everybody

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 20, 2012 -> 01:57 PM) Ha, Peavy is trying to hit the low 90s on his pickoffs. Peavy does everything high effort I'm sure he's a delicate lover

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 20, 2012 -> 01:55 PM) Just think how the Angels will feel someday with Albert as well. Given the level of hitter (in the conversation for best ever), type of hitter (power, no speed), and position (1B/DH) -- much more logical risk

This. Is. Cubs Baseball

It was one thing to pay Soriano a lot of money when they did, but it's another thing to sign him through age 38

Soriano still scares me, honestly

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 20, 2012 -> 01:42 PM) Good points. Watching Maholm, thank God Mark is in the National League and not the AL Central. Can you imagine how well Buehrle would do against our free swingers? It's funny how this guy is always available in fantasy baseball (Maholm) yet on TV looks effective. Q: To those of you who have been to Wrigley lately. Are the seats as cramped as they look? Is it hard to get in and out of rows or the same as any stadium? My dad tells me that any decent sized man is going to be uncomfortable in those seats

Alright, not pretty but here's a threat

This guy is throwing an inspired game so far...can only last so long

THEY'RE THROWING AT US

lollll 69mph deuceski

THEY'RE THROWING AT US

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 20, 2012 -> 01:33 PM) What a major fail by Peavy. Dejesus should be on first with a bruise on his back. PK14, Never Forget

he gawn! now get ahead of the next guy

QUOTE (Cali @ May 20, 2012 -> 01:28 PM) Ugh... Just watching the first inning. Maholm is THE PROTOTYPE to stifle the White Sox line-up. Gonna be a lot of 88 mph fastball being "blown" by our hitters haha If he pitches that well we sure won't have a chance...he didn't throw a pitch in the vicinity of the middle third in those 3 AB's

Maholm made a bunch of good pitches that inning. We'll see if that keeps up.

Maholm doing a good job changing speeds/locations so far

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 20, 2012 -> 12:58 PM) (Same thing). we could have created endless loop!!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 20, 2012 -> 12:49 PM) When Morel goes on the DL. When Hudson arrives

I'd say Morel is probably okay to play in case of emergency and they don't want to call someone up just to sit on the bench for a game or two. Obviously this PK business was unforeseen.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 20, 2012 -> 11:28 AM) That homerun yesterday went up and just carried and carried. I actually liked his first at bat better though. Dempster had him swinging at two high fastballs and he shortened up and hit the ball where it was pitched. He wasn't swinging to put it on waveland, he was just trying to get the runner in. I was most impressed with his at bat two days ago -- because he hit a fastball, took it to RF on a line. It's no secret that DV pounds breaking balls in the zone, but he has struggled with the heat. If he just takes it to RF, they have to throw him breaking balls. Seems like he's getting better at laying off the low and away breakers, but this is of course something every righty will fall prey to now and then. I will feel really optimistic about DV when I see him getting more hits on fastballs. For now he is at least covering most of them, fouling them off, and getting to the breaking stuff. Needs to keep racking up fastball hits to get out of Josh Fields land.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 20, 2012 -> 11:39 AM) Ventura said Hudson shall be in Chicago on Tuesday, will back up Gordon at 2B and play 3B when/if Morel goes to DL. Beckham will still bat 2nd. Thank you. Translation: Orlando Hudson is Brent Morel's replacement

Good use of stats ITT

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2012 -> 11:27 AM) They aren't? It's been great watching Viciedo and Beckham in May. This
