Both Broxton and Billingsley dont appear to have human legs. A Centaur comes to mind. I was hoping CannonShell would comment on their confirmation.
LOL..We both know the talent Broxton has, but he hasn't progressed at all (mentally.) The problems he has are the exact ones he had when he came in to the league a couple years ago. He should be a power pitcher reliever. Most of the time he isn't. He likes the finesse stuff,but if he gets hit a lil bit, then he has control issues. Then, he starts throwing the slow breaking stuff right in the fat part of the plate. This is not new. Crap has been going on 2 years now. He is a power pitcher that refuses to be man enough to go humm it past people. He virtually can't be hit if rares back and just throws that smoke. It has nice movement to it, too. I'll say it again. This individual is a disappointment to his maker. That's simply a fact. Anyone who pisses away their potential ability is a disappointment to their maker. On the other hand, Billingsley is slowly progressing. These 2 guys are the 2 that don't use their full potential. Most of the other guys that people think are gunna "come around" simply aren't good enough. Didn't Kemp look like an idiot on the pitch which resulted in him getting into a fight last Tuesday? Well, when you swing at something, and miss it by 3 feet, then you're gunna be pretty embarassed, and frustrated. When he has 2 strikes on him, he can't lay off that crap outside. Will he ever? Not soon. I can tell you that for sure. Saito is the closer until Broxton grows a set. That may be never. Saito has given up a run in an inning etc., but to who Fukodome? Thats a damn good hitter. He slapped something into right field. Saito doesn't just give up like this Cow, Broxton does.

BTW..Don't know if it makes Cub fans feel any better or not, but there is no way that either of Kemp or Martin's drives would have gone out of the park at night. Hard to believe that Kemp's went out at all. Looked like he got under that. Surprised it kept going, but that's a strong youngsta right there.

Default Kemp

Kemp is strong as F#ck.

I was at Tuesday's game as well and the fight between Kemp and Torealba was the only enjoyable part of the game tbh. After getting a fist and catchers mit to the throat....Kemp responded and was pulled down to the ground with Yorvit as he got put on his back. Somehow Kemp was able to get back up while still locked up and hip toss a very substantial Torealba the opposite way. By then the benches arrived and last thing i saw of the contenders was a 55 (Martin) diving into the middle.

While it appeared to be Kemp instigating the fight .... I never heard anyone in the media mention that Torealba was given some chin music in the top of the 8th by Wade that put him on his back. That didnt play a factor?

Kerry Wood had Kemp's number once again 2nite.. despite having a girls name. A girl that does porno type of name. That's a burn.

Oh, he struggled again against a good pitcher (Wood.) Really has no shot against somebody like that. He is their bitch, and that's why he had the fight last Tuesday Night. Torrealba bumped this guy at the wrong time. He had just whiffed on a pitch by about 3 feet. Torrealba didn't have to take it to that extreme ( so maybe the chin music had a lil to do with the shot to Kemp's neck.) It was a dangerous blow to the neck. Not cool at all. Just because Kemp was o.k., doesn't mean the next guy will be. Neck n' nad should be off limits.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think Kemp is the perfect guy to hit 2nd in the line-up? He is really fast. Not only that, but the league knows it, and they hurry on groundballs. That means, if the lead-off guy can get on, then you pretty much can rule out a doubleplay. You can force them to throw some fastballs to him too( if a basestealer is on 1st base.)

BTW, Kershaw's best game so far. Broxton actually protected it well (blew 4 guys in a row away.) Capable Cow should be doing that 90% of the time.
