CWSGuy406 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 All Jeff Keppinger does is hit. With Krivsky's infatuation with relievers, I wonder if the Sox could pull off a Wasserman/MacDougal + Masset/Hernandez/Perez deal for Keppinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I don't think he's been overly great against them in the past. It's usually Dunn that murders them. Lieber has nothing on his pitches, I'm shocked he's done as well as he has this year.

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Griff with the shot. That's awesome. Lately it seems like every Cub fan I know has been off the hook cocky about their moderate start against the cream of baseballs crop (Pirates, Reds, a busted up Phillies team, and starting tomorrow, the Pirates again).

Harry Chappas Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Is the start of Dempster masking the reality that Ted Lilly is getting his tits lit up in cubdom?

The Cubs simply are beating bad teams. They show up, try to get a little bit of pitching, beat up on bp pitching from the opposition and try to barely win. I have a feeling when they go to the west coast, they are going to come home a beaten up team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) I'm sure I'll take heat for this, but is Carlos Marmol the best set-up reliever in baseball?

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 It's frustrating that they count the games against the Pirates toward their record. Replace Pittsburgh with a Kansas City or Minnesota and you could subtract about 7 W's from their record at season's end. Â Dropping 2 of 3 to that baseball team (allegedly) was the low point of the season for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
