In honor of playing in Pittsburgh , one of my favorite movie quotes
It is very silly but has always been a favorite of mine. For the culturally deprived among you who have never seen SULLIVAN’S TRAVELS which seriously one the great films, it is about a director of highly successful but stupid comedies who wants to make a serious film about the human condition. The studio people and his advisors are desperate to dissuade him and explain the films like this won’t do any business mentioning another serious film that tanked.

He may suck but you can't tell that much from the box score
Eveland 1 run, 3 hits, No Ks and one walk
Silva no runs, 1 hit 2ks and no walk
Pitches thrown Eveland 28 , Silva 32.
It may seem like a small difference but the Cubs can NOT take out pitchers who should be on the ropes.

honestly
i’d rather be in the pirates situation than ours…we have a bunch of old overpaid guys who are losing…they have a young nucleus mccutchen/walker/jones/doumit and according to espn they are bringing up “the big 3” this month…one of them being pedro alvarez….just saying, if we could switch rosters i might actually concider it
I wouldn't
They have young nucleus that they won’t pay to stick around once they’re free agents. This team has been “rebuilding” for about 15 years.

this team is not as good as the Cubs make them look.
I think you're nuts
the cubs have like 3 prospects. The rest is aging/expiring contracts
If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.
The Pirates don't have good pitching
Pitching is what wins consistently. A central team with medicore pitching and two big offensive sluggers? The Brewers with Braun/Fielder. Look at how they have done.
by IllinoisCubs on Jun 7, 2010 12:16 PM CDT up reply actions
Thats bs
i’m not arguing that the pirates have a team. I’m agreeing they’ve got a lot of young talent. What do the cubs have to look forward to except losing 3-1. Sure their pitching is decent, but they’ve got no pen, no position players to look forward to, and a handful of good starters getting no run support.
If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.
The Cubs have more top prospects than the Pirates
Look at any Top 100 Prospect List.
by IllinoisCubs on Jun 7, 2010 12:22 PM CDT up reply actions
I'll give you that
but not all the Pirates young talent is in the system. Some of it’s getting game experience sucking the last few years. I wouldn’t necessarily like to switch all the prospects up, but i’d rather have some promising talent than an aging team. Aram, Dlee, Fuku, Nady, Silva, Z.. This team is like the Maple Leafs of the 2000’s. Sign older players and be just good enough to make the playoffs or barely miss
If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.
The Pirates suck and will lose any good players they develop
They draft lousy and on the cheap. But they do play in a nice ballpark….
"Any player who gets the opportunity to play at Wrigley should welcome it"
Castro, Vitters, Hak Ju Lee, Cashner, Jackson
all look like they are going to be pretty good.

i wouldnt LOL
the cubs arent good. period. i’m sick of banking on DLee and Aram to lead us…it’s not gonna happen…i’d take mccutchen and jones to be completely honest
It's not even close
the cubs would be lucky to start the rebuilding process this early. They’re in for 3-4 years of suckitude before they stockpile some young talent
If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.
Well ya I know the Cubs aren't good.
But the Pirates aren’t either. They don’t have a McCutchen in the system, but they have better pitching.
who?
Ted Lilly???…i’m watching the pirates broadcast and they just showed their top pitching prospects…i’d take it over the pile of hot garbage we have
You are exaggerating way too much.
The Pirates will never be good. Never.
hey i hope you're right
but i see us staring up the bucs in the standings the next few years…apparently they got a stockpile of talent on the way…we brought up castro, so ours is up
They've had a stockpile of talent for years...
and they trade it away.

if we didnt have byrd and silva
we’d still suck, just worse
I want Carlos Silva to start every game. He's the only pitcher I have faith in right now
A-well-a Byrd, Byrd, Byrd, well the Byrd is the word.
And I want Marlon Byrd to bat every time and play every position
A-well-a Byrd, Byrd, Byrd, well the Byrd is the word.
So who do we bump to get Cashner in the rotation?
I say Zambrano.
Here's the thing, Wells is uniquely suited to eat up a lot of innings with his 89 mph stuff.
Zambrano, on the other hand, is accustomed to having great stuff to work with, only to lose it this season. Therefore his 89 mph fastball is more likely to get pounded. But until he gets his velocity back, the bullpen isn’t exactly a safe place for him either unless he’s strictly on mop-up duty.

"A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality." John Lennon
Another Cashner question: Is he currently the anointed setup man?
Or is Lou still going with Marshall for his proven veteran-iness. I would give the eighth inning to Cashner until the NL shows it can hit 98 mph.
I was figuring they'd share the duties...
Marshall being the LH setup man, and Cashner being the RH setup man.
sounds correct
probably depends on how the 8th inning batters line up
Carlos Silva lemonade: made from freshly squeezed Milton Bradley lemons. -- the Jim Hendry kook book.
Sounds good, but can you imagine the luxury of shortening the game to 7 innings with in-effect TWO closers?
Assuming he works out of course. Then Marshall and say Howry/Stevens can come in for the 7th ONLY if the starter is gassed at that point. Of course I still think Gorzelanny got a raw deal so in my scenario you could be looking at either of Zambrano or Wells to complement Marshall for middle/7th inning relief.
I’m sure I join legions of Cub fans who convince themselves this could be a dominating team if only managed differently.
