Really...minor injuries, I would hope.

I had no idea Jacque had a six game hit streak. Look out Joe DiMaggio. Edited April 13, 2007 by RonnieWooWooSanto

Jacque steals 2B

[Moonlight Graham]

JJ steals 2nd, nice.

[cheapseats]

ok, and i'm sure this has been discussed...but will Murton ever see the light of day again?

Nope, too warm dude. Wait, new manager. But, still no.

 

This has been Lou's righty lineup all year I believe.

 

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

 

I'm one who believes Floyd should get a good amount of playing time, but Murton has hit three homers off of Harang. Murton should be in the lineup.

[Chocolate Milk]

Hrm, interesting.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones stole second base

[rynefan]

Oh man... a hit AND an SB! Now that's better!

[RichHillIsABeast]

That's my dog.

See what the media does? They perpetuate the $300 million payroll nonsense, keep repeating it over & over, no one ever challenges their facts.

 

Before you know it even Cub fans think we're spending twice as much as we are.

 

The media keeps bringing up the fact that the Cubs spent $300 million in the offseason on players - and they say it all the time - but I rarely hear that the Cubs have a $300 million payroll. Maybe it's because I don't read the Chicago papers but I rarely hear it.

 

That doesn't mean I haven't already tired of hearing the number $300 million though.

 

Oh, I've seen it more than once.

 

Plus, even without that -- the Cubs actually did not *spend* 300 million dollars. They entered into contracts which, if they all come completely to fruition with the Cubs, will eventually equal $300 million (approximately) after about 8 years.

 

That's a massive difference, IMO. There's no way to intellectually say the Cubs spent 300 million dollars this offseason. And no, not everyone knows the semantics of it -- that's why people come back out and start saying the Cubs have a 200 million dollar payroll.

[Jazz]

What's wrong with DeRosa?

 

Back spasms/sore back. Aram with a sore/swollen wrist. Check baseball discussions thread.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

YES..atta boi DLee...and way to capitalize on Valentine's Juan Pierre-esque arm behind the plate Jacque

[Chocolate Milk]

hahaha, inexplicable scoring with garbage lineups? I love the Cubs.
