QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 01:33 PM) so why is it that you are so focused on the cubs? nice sig and avatar

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) btw, in my fantasy "nobody's injured" world they are probably a top 7 team, at the very lowest. and what are the whitesox?

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 12:53 PM) He pitched well in that game and got shelled by the Rangers. The Cubs are one of the top 13 teams in the bigs, in my opinion. But he didnt get "shelled" by the cubs and you said a good team would shell him and you claim the cubs are good im confused.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) So your saying the Cubs aren't good? LMFAO

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 12:50 PM) McCarthy is not quite ready for the bigs. He needs a little more tick at the minors and a little more movement and command of the strike zone. He comes up again and faces a good team, he'll likely get shelled again. I agree thats why Bmac is in the minors right now but at least we have a back up starter!

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) The difference is that they have 2 injury prone pitchers and those are their top 2 starters(Or atleast what they say). We have 1, and he is our 5 starter. And he was signed by planning on missing 5-10 of his starts, as noted by the public comments of our GM. Plus we have Bmac to pitch when el duque cant. So right now we have 6 healthy starters.

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) Hell, the Yanks just got swept by the goddamn Royals on the road. LMFAO

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 12:32 PM) Fair enough, but since 1987 no one has started more than 37, and since the mid 90s no one has started more than 36. With a 5 man rotation, the most you'll get is 34, maybe 35. I'd be willing to bet El Duque has missed more games than Wood the past 5 years... or at least it's close. I see El duque and wood there not the 2005 cubs & whitesox

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) We are comparing the Cubs and the White Sox. I think it's fair game to compare one old, injured starter to one young, injured starter. When your young your body is top physical condition if wood is this injury prone now just imagine how he will be when he 30 let alone 35-40 if he makes it there

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 12:29 PM) http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/GS_leagues.shtml I dont know about you hideaway lights but the numbers i see on that page are anywhere from 35-40

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) Two years, Wood missed about 9 starts each. Name me a pitcher who has started 36 games (not including playoffs, of course) in the past 20 years. Mark buehrle has started 35 times in 2003 and 2004

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 12:23 PM) 35-39?????? LMMFAO. 162 divided by 5 equals? 32.4 counting 4 man rotations and other odds and ends it is possible to make anywhere from 35-39 also that means wood misses 10 starts a year. Meaning he misses 1/3 of his starts thats alot.

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 12:21 PM) I think everyone reading this thread takes this the same way I do. Wood has started 22+ games every year from 2000-2004, and 28+ games from 2001-2003. How the f*** is that constantly injured? because some pitchers make 35-39 starts and other win 22 games

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 12:14 PM) There are such things as periods, you know. They look like this "." Why is it so hard to accept that Wood COULD be healthy for a year? Two years ago he started 31+ games. Same as 3 years ago. Wood has really only been injured 3 seasons. Only lol

The cubs have no real lead off man the fundamentals suck and their pitching staff is all injury prone and dont say anything how if tyhe pitching was healthy the cubs would be better because i could have told you april 4th that wood and prior would be injured at this point!

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 11:46 AM) I was asked to let y'all know when they beat a good team like the Padres. Just lettin' you know. For the record, I hate the f***ing Cubs. Then why did you start a thread saying the cubs are better

What is he supposed to say, "I hate Oakland trade me to Chicago".

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 01:16 AM) This is not true. Nomar got hurt in St. Louis. My buddy took pictures of him stretching before the game. Shoulda stretched better that game lol

QUOTE(trexer @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 01:13 AM) It makes no sense to add so much payroll and give up our insurance policy pitcher for a guy whose career BA is only 50 points or so higher than Crede. If you really want an upgrade at 3B, you could get Randa ($2 Mil. Salary) for only Crede and one of our lesser relievers, such as Vizcaino. I dont think we should give up Bmac we should give up Crede and a couple other minor leagurs.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 01:00 AM) I wouldn't say that yet. He has to go on a tear for at least a week before we can think that. Crede hit two homers in two days, but I'm sure we all know he's not coming out of any slump. crede is to streaky he will go on like 2 week tears then he go through 2 months where he'll play like crap. id rather have chavez proven talent.

i dont know if someone said this earlier but eric chavez hit a grandslam earlier. (maybe he is coming out of his slump)

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 12:17 AM) At this point, no. Earlier in the season? Yes He's streaky and everyone knows how his monthy averages fluctuate. I do recall several games (most recently against Washburn in Anaheim) where he provided crucial hits for this club. Every run is important with this offense. I just don't envision Williams trading Konerko. Which contending team is so desperate for offense they would be willing to to trade a decent reliever or another solid, major league contributer for Konerko? The only team i see needing a good hitting firstbaseman that contending are the braves

Can anyone here belive the royals swept the yankees! I know the yankees arnt that good this year but i mean it the royals!
