So which guy is our 3b next year, Joe Randa or David Bell?

Pedro Feliz.

ugh even better.

Let's examine the qualifications...

 

proven run producer™?...check

over 30?...check

career sub .300 OBP?...check

 

Looks like a future Cub to me.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Paulino singled to right field

[illiniguy]

[ToupeeOnFire]

Ha ha, the infamous Dusty "let the pitcher hit and take him out" move.

 

This with expanded rosters.

 

You da man, Dusty.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 11-25 when they allow 6 or more BBs.

 

Go CUBS !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Castillo struck out swinging

Anyway you can find our record in games where our manager lets a pitcher bat only to take him out the next inning?

CUBS are 31-24 when they execute a sac bunt.... 24-56 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Balsa]

GOD#@$% I'm so sick of sac bunting for the first out!!

 

It's not FRIGGIN WORTH IT. Especially when Pierre, base-stealer king is on first.

 

What a waste of an out.

[FloridaCubbie]

Great, a sac bunt.

 

What's the point of having fast guys at the top of the order if you're just going to sac them into scoring position anyway?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre stole third base

[Balsa]

Great, a sac bunt.

 

What's the point of having fast guys at the top of the order if you're just going to sac them into scoring position anyway?

Seriously. Didn't Theriot just have a huge double in this game?

FedEx must have delived the book on Theriot to the pirates dugout sometime between the second and the fifth.
