I Hate To Gripe, But....
Ok...the Cubs took a shellacking today...in a big way, gettin' mollywhopped by the Fish, 15-5.
Now, I won't even go into Maddux's performance, as he will get smacked from time to time:Hey, he is 39 years old! The bullpen, on the other hand......ewwwwwwww.
Wellemeyer: 1.1IP, 3H, 3ER, 1k 0BB, 2HR
Rich Hill: 1IP, 3H, 2ER, 2K, 0BB, 0HR..a little shaky in the debut, but understandably so.
Remlinger: 1IP, 2H, 3ER, 2K. 1HR...by Luis Freakin' Castillo..unbelievable!
Wuertz: 1IP, 4H, 0ER, oK/BB
Dempster: 1IP, 1K, 0ER
Ok...now I'm Dusty Baker...and I have tremendous potential upside.. and the game is getting out of reach..I put in the rookie, who takes a few lumps..from Cabrera and Lowell, who are pretty good last I checked. Instead of getting him another inning or two, I pull him after one, so I can get Mike Remlinger some work???!! WTF!! Who cares if the kid gave up a couple of runs!!! See if he can settle down and pitch 2-3 innings of better relief. We know that Remlinger sucks, and that we'll have to DFA his ass.....give me a friggin' break.
Oh, and as for the Enrique Wilson Experience..0/2, .133 BA......couldn't we just bring back Ben Grieve? I mean, at least Ben has had some success in his career. Oh, but Wilson can play shortstop...he's there to back-up Perez...then why in the name of all that is good and right in the world was Hairston playing SS, and Wilson playing 1B?????!!!!! I feel like Bluto in Animal House...Baker-Dead.....Remlinger-Dead......Wilson............DEAD!!! Who's with me?
The daily Hollandworthless report has been quiet, as Mulletsworth has been hitting over the last week, pulling his numbers up to.... .257/.318/.386. (avg/obp/slg) Gee, this guy is soooooo much better than Dubois....yes sir......give me a break. Platooning the two is not right. Holly is the 4th OF, and best pinch hitter we have....that's what he should be doing. If Dubois gets 300-400 AB, and isn't walking any more than currently, ok, but he is still managing .254/.302/.475 with very sporadic playing time!!
And, as far as defense..fine, he ain't gonna win any gold gloves.....but he's no worse than Alou was the last 3 years, and effing Hollandsworth? One good play does not erase his lollygagging around the outfield, turning pop-ups into doubles. Let's all knock off the Dave Kingman references, and get back to reality. Having actually seen King-Kong in the outfield, Dew-boy has a long way to go before he is that putrid.
Okay, I will get down to brass tacks this weekend, and we'll discuss Mr. Patterson, ok?
