09/18 CUBS (Marshall) @ Philadelphia (Lieber) 6:05 CDT, CSN+

[Guancous]

Someone's gotta mention that Aramis singled to go 4-4 with 7 RBI's and two homers.

[soccer10k]

Just checked the box score and it seems ARam is having a decent night so far.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Wuertz is the best pitcher in the history of the known universe

[Balsa]

Ugh.

 

Just checked the 1st place guy in my fantasty league, 1.5 points ahead of me.

 

Of course, he has Rammy. :x

[minnesotacubsfan]

can we pleeze just resign rammy already

[YearofDaCubs]

There's no way we can discount having Theriot be a starter next year. He's looked very good since he's been inserted into the lineup.

[Mizzou]

Wow, what a night for Ramirez!

 

And Theriot stole his 10th base... how many times has he been caught stealing? I didn't realize he was so fas. Of course, watching maybe three games in the past two months is probably the reason why.

So did Cedeno last year. I just can't take him seriously, the comparison is too apt.

there is a slight difference between cedeno's .731 in 80 ab's last year and ryans .961 in 99 ab's. this guy is the real deal imo and it just took getting playing time in the majors for him to shine. there is no doubt that he is way overachieving now but there are not many (if any) holes in his game imo. he seems to be very solid all the way around.

One way or another it's a good problem to have. I still can;t believe we traded for Izturis, just such a waste IMO.

[Sammy Sofa]

Stop ignoring Theriot's career numbers. I'm not going to tolerate this team getting burned again like they did with Cedeno.

 

I don't like that Dusty seems to be setting up to bring in Dempster.

[chuckywang]

Urgh....why can't we get these .200 hitters out?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

So what have I missed? I've been watching a rather uninspiring MNF game.

[chuckywang]

Aramis with a career high of 7 RBI's.

 

Scott Moore with his first career HR.

 

Pierre with his 3rd HR of the season.

He has NO history of power in the minors.

 

Not even ANY. I'm all for having him on the bench next year as a Neifi! type player, but his power stroke is really a fluke when compared to his minor league numbers. That would be the one major error in his game.

 

I know it looks like he put it all together, but again I'll point to Cedeno last year. Looks can be deceiving.

You're so wise, Mr. Owl.

Scott Moore with his first career HR.

 

 

nope, first came against the other team from Pennsylvania, you know, the bad one, on Sep 7th

[mg420]

weren't you some of the people trying to trade hill for a bag of baseballs a few weeks ago?

i dont consider lack of power an "error" for a 2b. if he can hit around 10 a year it would be fine. he can certainly get on base (ie take walks) unlike cedeno.

[macuser2]

Quiet everyone. Dumpster is in to pitch. :D

[Sammy Sofa]

Your continued attempts to somehow compare Hill and Theriot are completely nonsensical.

 

Again, stop ignoring Theriot's career numbers. They'll tell you a LOT more about him than this tiny burst of power hitting over the last 2-3 weeks.

Theriot has 5 HR in over 2300 Minor League plate appearances. His IsoP is an almost humorous .066. He was old for his leagues too, he simply hasn't shown any ability to hit for power.

[rynesrevenge0206]

I love how Dempster always comes in the same way:

 

BALL 1

 

BALL 2.....

Oops, that was the second batter....

 

STILL!
