Question
I’ve noticed several pitchers having down years are WAY down in their K/IP.
I can’t find a source to look at the league average stats. I want to compare 2008 so far to 2007. I tried yahoo sports and baseball reference. Any suggestions?

BCB should be required reading for all Cub players and coaches.

Geo's been strugging a bit on offense
It could be the amount of innings he’s been catching that his average wasn’t going to stay above .300
or it could be if he’s discovered bcb that noticing he has groupies has distracted him a bit.

2008 Cubs: Who needs nine innings, when you only need a 7th?
Lucky you
They don’t play in ATL this year, so the trip to Fla was prolly my only chance to see them this year
You also don’t have to deal with the horrible color scheme at the Trop
and I may see a game at Shea Stadium vs. the Giants
but i haven’t decided yet. Lincecum and Santana are pitching so I probably will go..

so it will be my first time going to BOTH stadiums. If you could, I would definately go because they are gone after next year

Best. Quote. Ever.
From an article on Sidney Ponson’s release:
"I’ve seen some things from Sidney that I wouldn’t necessarily do myself, but that doesn’t make Sidney a bad guy," said Milton Bradley.
Wow.
Very funny
or scary, depending on your outlook.

every team is doing it.
Selling them for a charity with welcoming back soldiers.
the giants are doing a "support the troops' night
maybe thats why?

look pretty cool
it’s like a darker navy blue and it looks like inside the logo are stars, kind of like the flag. no red on it, though.
lol @ cocknfire, the cubs regular headwear would definitely have been a natural 4th of july cap!
Nice..
wonder if we can buy them?

shows the closeup. yep, a little flag design inside the C. guess i didn’t get a close enough zoom-in on the logo, there is definitely red white and blue in there (as subtle as it is). nice and sharp.

I think you did by saying Madonna is attractive.
Not saying. Just saying.

Ok.
I’ll give it you. I did think she was attractive in Material Girl days. But now, not so much.

And I'm expressing myself.
You just can’t see me doing my vogue dance.

A-Rod has really become a whole teams worth of stories by himself
