I was just doing the math. with thursday being off day. you do not need to pitch Hart until 28th if you want too.
So you let Hart go as deep as possible. You let him go until every last pitch in his arm is used up.

The only thing when we

True but we scored 6 yesterday and followed that up with 11 so far today.

Lilly/Lopez, Harden/Blanton, Zambrano/Moyer
We miss Hamels
ya and I was just going to ask if anyone knows much about Rodrigo Lopez who Ted faces tomorrow.
Tuesday is now Joe Blanton vs Rich Harden. Blanton is pitching cuz of the postponement of the Phils game in Florida. and Wednesday is now Jamie Moyer vs Big Z. Cuz of the blanton move due to weather we miss Hamels who was originally supposed to match up vs big z on wedneday.
by MandMexpress12 on Jul 19, 2009 2:49 PM CDT up reply actions
quick look at baseball reference say Rodrigo is
a mediocre pitcher (93 ERA+), but he’s been good in his limited time 11.1IP, 4ER (135 ERA+)

I think he was thought of more as a posession wide received in the NFL.
I know he’d probably be 2nd best on the Bears now. But that’s saying more about the steaming pile of crappy do in the Bears WR corps than about Smard.

Cutler was at Wrigley for a game when Jeff was on the major league roster. He threw him some passes for the heck of it and it supposedly looked sweet.
Cutler is just going to be so sweet. I’m not sure what a quarterback is though. Never seen one on the Bears.

Even Rex's great days aren't Cutler's though
QB rating wise, Rex’s high is lower than Cutler’s average.
Lets not get carried away.
Ball 4!

If you are only talking last year, ok.
But Rex had some amazing games in our Super Bowl season. He had a 148 rating one week.
Ball 4!
by californiachicagoan on Jul 19, 2009 3:12 PM CDT up reply actions
Um, no actually.
Anyways, the beauty of Cutler will be that we shouldnt see any of those games where we were embarassed at the quarterbacking.

Rex was horrible
the Bears made the SB in spite of him. The Defense is what got us there
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
Rex did have some great games but also had awful games.
QB rating is not greatest tool for judging a QBs performance. I also think he had a 0.0 and 7 games with a rating under 40. from a talent stand point an NFL body Cutler is head and shoulders above Rex.

by californiachicagoan on Jul 19, 2009 3:15 PM CDT up reply actions
I was not the one who said next game.
but post all 16 ratings from that year. and a lot of his good games were vs bad detroit and GB teams. Lets see he was awful in Win vs Cardinals. awful in win vs jets. awful in losses to Pats and packers. Awful in loss to Dolphins. Awful in one of the Viking games. and thats just all off top of my head.
by MandMexpress12 on Jul 19, 2009 3:17 PM CDT up reply actions
and he was great in ...
the win in GB, the win vs Det, the win vs Seattle, the win vs Buffalo, the win against SF, the win at the Giants, the win at St Louis, and the win against Tampa.
He averaged a 113 rating.
He had great games and awful games, but the idea this his best is only Cutler’s average is an exaggeration

Actually..
I heard that the Bears are considering signing Mark Derosa. They heard from fans/sportswriters in the city that he is basically an athletic god, so they are going to let him play WR and OLB.
The last couple of years DeRosa may have been the best QB in Chicago. Definitely better than Orton who is only going to start in Denver so the coach can save face. Simms has outperformed him in practice.

That's just ridiculous!
Everyone knows DeRosa is banned from the NFL because they only let humans play, and since he never gets hurt they think he’s a robot.
He wasn't good a burning guys on the line
But for getting up over people in the middle of the field. He could get UP.

Okay everyone
We need 3 of these 4 to bounce and have good 2nd halfs.
What is your order of who you think will have the best 2nd halfs.
Bradley
Soriano
Soto
Ramirez
My order is
Soriano
Ramirez (only because injury otherwise he’d be #1)
Bradley
Soto
I predict they all have at least decent 2nd halfs.
And I’m predicting Harden has a solid but not spectacular 2nd half.

Cards n D backs still 2-1 in bottom of 7th
While the Nationals have indeed been horrible this series...
It still is impressive to focus and concentrate enough to sweep four games, especially against someone you are expected to win at. Sweeping may not prove they are ready for the playoffs, but it sure helps getting some wins for it.
