6 homers, everyone talks about the Soriano contract, but if Lee isn't going to hit for power his contract isn't very pretty either.

 

But his is cheaper and done 4 years earlier.

 

Not to mention Lee's gone away because of an injury, not because he wasn't that good to begin with.

He is making as much as Pujols, there is no way he deserves that if he isn't 40+ homers. Our one real chance in this game is probably a Soriano homer. He is the one guy we have that you can really hope to change a game around with one ab. Although the contract sucks he is more of a game changer than Lee.

[Banedon]

Man do we suck at getting runs in situations where it should be simple to score!

 

Before last night, we had the worst batting average (.233 or something close) with bases loaded.

 

I reiterate --- the Cubs choke in pressure situations!!

 

weren't you proven to be laughably wrong on this point in another thread?

 

Mr. abuck1220 (superstar),

 

The Cubs are DEAD LAST in batting average with the bases loaded. I call that lack of clutch hitting.

 

And btw, stop being an ars

 

Actually they're not.

And they're third with RISP.

i don't get worked up over blown leads anymore.

 

its not the blown lead, it's that they scored 3 runs on 10 hits against jeff weaver

Are they still first with runners in scoring position?

[SouthSideRyan]

i don't get worked up over blown leads anymore. it's just not worth it. i can't imagine breaking my TV or punching a wall over this worthless team of douche-bags.

 

I can't take this attitude. If I didn't get worked up over them, then I wouldn't care, at which case why bother watching?

 

Also: Tying Run on 2nd, nobody out for Detroit vs. Milwaukee.

[The Voice of Reason]

Hendry should have gone after Carlos Lee for less money in left rather than gone after Soriano.

 

So far, definitely a better ROI for Houston on Lee than Soriano has provided the Cubs.

[UMFan83]

Brewers about to blow their game, up 6-5 with a runner on third and 1 out in the 9th

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 1-23 when they trail after 7 innings

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[illiniguy]

6 homers, everyone talks about the Soriano contract, but if Lee isn't going to hit for power his contract isn't very pretty either.

 

.413 OBP. I'll take it.

You can get a few guys with that obp without having to pay that much money.

[anabiono]

wow...i really can't believe i thought the cubs were going to win the series this year...

 

god...i wasn't even on any drugs or booze...i had plenty of sleep...i was fine mentally and physically...

 

i am just completely stupid, for serious

Okay, fine, but Lee makes less than Soriano and his contract expires sooner, so it's a little easier to swallow than Soriano. I'm not praising the guy. I've been scared of his lack of power since last year.

[TruffleShuffle]

well we're going to lose the game, but at least we will win the LOB battle!

[Soriano12]

Hendry should have gone after Carlos Lee for less money in left rather than gone after Soriano.

Carlos Lee will only be able to DH in 2 years.

Suzuki singled to right field

uh....yes, they are....dead last in the national league.....that's what I meant to say.

 

Does it really matter??? they absolutely suck in pressure situations.

All these situations just get magnified because we played so poorly in other areas of the game. All teams have trouble from time to time scoring runs.

No, the Reds are worse. And RISP is a pressure situation.

Lopez sacrificed, 1-3, Suzuki to second

So will Soriano in seven years.
