Gene Honda Civic Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 This guy is the quickly becoming the biggest tool in baseball. http://www.post-trib.com/cgi-bin/pto-story...z1_spor_03.html "We have four number one starters in the rotation,” he said, referring to Mark Prior, Carlos Zambrano, Greg Maddux and Kerry Wood. “I don’t think another team can say that.” Apparently Howry hasn’t been paying attention. Wood’s arm problems keep him in limbo. Maddux is a 40-year-old relic. Howry took it one step farther, suggesting the Cubs own the best rotation in baseball if healthy. Better than the White Sox? “They don’t have four No. 1s,” he said. “They had great years last year, but they were career years. They don’t match up with us.” “I’m not bagging on them (Sox),” he said. “They had a great year, but it’s one year. You have to look at the big picture. Last year they were better, but the difference is consistent numbers.” Mark Prior has spent more time on the DL than the entire Sox rotation, COMBINED. Bobby will get his chance to celebrate in October. That's when the Cubs get their award of an early vacation for winning the attendance championship.

Rowand44 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Howry is very jealous of the Sox, all he does is talk about us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palesox38 Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 We also have 6 starting pitchers. 5 of whom are under 30. I'm pretty sure we will get some good value out of our guys for alot of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Yeah he wishes he was still with us. MB had his normal type of year, Garcia had a very good year, and did a little more than expectations, JC finally lived up to his expectations, and Garland was really the only one that had a "Career year" ok I guess you could call BMac's a career year also, since it was his first and only year.

JimJab Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 (edited) I really don't care what this guy thinks. If the Cubs really have that good of a rotation then why haven't they won a World Series in the past 97-98 years? It might have taken us 88, but we still got it done. Kerry Wood and Mark Prior had some big years, but still haven't done anything. Greg Maddux is old and doesn't have many years left. So if this guy wants to say our pitchers just had a career year, well then atleast we got it done and we're in line to get it done next year too!

The Critic Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Bob Howry is nothing. All he's doing is peddling that same line of crap to Cub fans that every previous player has. Win something, then you can talk, Howry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I like the fact that every Sox starting pitcher last year started atleast as many, if not more, games than Kerry Wood has in the past 2 seasons combined. I also liked Maddux's 4.24 ERA last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxhawks Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 he plays for the cubs do you expect him to say "ya our crosstown rival who all our fans hate has a better rotation than us , we suck." he just wants to make a good impression on his new team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been talking s*** since he was traded, now he is back in town. He got paid, he can stop acting like a b****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSH2005 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 LOL, Maddux hasn't been a #1 starter since 2002 with the Braves and how is Wood a #1 starter when he never pitches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddux was never a #1 in the playoffs and he isn't even a #1 in the regular season. Hell, if him and El Duque were healthy, I'd take El Duque over him every single day. Maddux(as of now) = overrated.

KevHead0881 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Funny thing is that his theory applies more to himself then it does to us. “They had a great year, but it’s one year. You have to look at the big picture. Last year they were better, but the difference is consistent numbers.” There's something twisted about Bobby Howry giving lectures on consistency.

I'd take Maddux over El Duque for the regular season. Maddux at least stays healthy and pitches decently. El Duque is clutch in the playoffs though.
