QUOTE(Whitewashed in @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 05:34 PM) Didn't Frank break up Washburn's vs us a while ago in like the 7th? Yeup.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 05:29 PM) Fwiw, over his career, Javy's era is exactly a full run worse in June than his overall average. So we can hope that this skid will end soon. We knew going in that he could be streaky. Given that, it seems a bit early to bail, after one awful month. I hope no one has completely bailed on him yet but he is pretty frusterating to watch right now and he just needs to get his ass in gear. Unless we can make a trade like talked about in this thread he'll get his chance to work himself out of this and hopefully he does.

Rock, the wind was pretty crazy going out to right today but nothing Vaz allowed had to do with the wind. Javy pitched horrible again, he really does need to get his ass in gear like most of our starting pitchers. I still have a ton of confidence in this staff because besides Mark everyone is better then they are pitching right now but eventually the offense is going to slow down a bit and we need our starters to step it up.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 04:35 PM) Batista's got a perfect game through 6 against the A's. You knew the second this thread went up the no no would be a goner.

QUOTE(SadChiSoxFanOptimist @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 04:14 PM) He has the talent, but has not developed the capablity to keep a team in a game. What is it -- lack of mental toughness? Is he afraid of hitting someone? I believe he leads the league in hit batters or he's at least up there. He is mentally fragile though.

I'd also like to add that I'm very much against moving Vaz to the pen. Vaz is a mental midget and most likely he'd take the demotion very hard and just get rocked in the bullpen.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 04:06 PM) Wouldn't that be kinda bogus to throw B-mac into the rotation mid-season when he's just now settling into his role in the 'pen? Well that's one of the reasons it'd be hard to pull the trigger on something like that. However, if you could get an obvious upgrade in the bullpen like a Scot Shields then you can take your chances with Mac in the rotation cause at this point I really do believe he'd be our 3rd best starter(I've always been real high on Mac).

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 02:03 PM) Vazquez and prospects for Shields and Figgins would be a pretty sweet little deal. If we had to take on some of Weaver's contract (just to make the Angels happy, than thats fine too). Put Mac in the rotation (somewhere he belongs and we can end that experiment and hopefully get him back to where he was last year, which was a pitcher that was pretty darn good). Bmac has been pretty damn good as of late in the pen, he's definitely settled in. I do love your idea though, it's actually something the 5 of us talked about in Cinci a lot(trading one of our starters for a top notch reliever and getting Mac into the rotation).

Bobby is f***in ridiculous by the way. I was nervous a bit in the 9th just cause of how crazy the wind was but he just blew those guys away.

The only thing that pops into my mind right now is: BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

AND THIS BALL GAME IS OVAAAAA

Too much wind for me to be comfortable right now.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 03:23 PM) A.J. is goign to need a body guard to leave the park today. AJ could just fight most Cub fans off with one arm tied behind his back and his eyes closed anyways.

End this puppy Bobby.

Classy Cub fans.

AJ I f***IN LOVE YOU

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 12:37 PM) On are way to ANOTHER great gamethread..... See ya guys.. I'm going to take that approach as well.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jul 1, 2006 -> 12:35 PM) f*** you Javy, you're done. Move along to another team. You never learn.

He loves to hang his curve ball with 2 strikes.

A bloop and a chopper. Just got to minimize this here Javy.
