6/15 Padres (Wells) v. CUBS (Lilly) WGN 1:20 CST

[CubinNY]

Adrian Gonzelez is the best player nobody knows about. He's a left handed Derrek Lee.

[otis89]

Wood sighting! :shock:

[illiniguy]

Wood sighting.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'll be damned, I thought Wood was dead

With power

[otis89]

Nice play, DeRosa!

Would they say about him? I miss Wood! Edited June 15, 2007 by C.C.

[Derwood]

ha ha, get it?? Dead Wood? ha ha

Cliff Floyd has been playing really well, but that last at bat was really maddening. Gorman was shrinking the strike zone even more on David Wells after all of his antics, and Cliff Floyd then swings over the top of two pitches in the dirt to let him off the hook. Oh well, at least the Padres are as inept on offense right now.

Nice pick by DeRosa!

And for two months Barrett has been crap. Who cares what he did in the past. That's not helping this team now.

 

The point is that he has a recent track record of playing very good baseball.

 

Baseball? He had a track record for decent hitting. His general play, in my opinion, has always bordered on mediocre or worse.

 

That is absurd. He has been one of the top hitting catchers in the NL for three straight years, and you call that worse than mediocre? That smacks of bias and subjectivity. Even if you can't stand his lack of performance this year, he has been one of the best at his position since he came to the Cubs.

 

Bias? What bias? My "bias" is that I always thought he was medicore or worse at the catcher position. That's part of "playing baseball"...like I said, he had a decent or better bat, fortunately very often during his time with the Cubs, but many of the flaws people are really burned over now were always there. It's simply not accurate to say he played "very good baseball," because he wasn't very good at half of what he had to do as a baseball player.

 

Since when is fielding half of a player's job? Even at defensive positions, I'll take the great hitting weak fielder over the slick fielding, no bat player any day. Barrett has been bad at fielding, but if you think his fielding outweighed his hitting for the last three years, you are probably magnifying the mistakes he used to make by imagining they were as bad as they have been this year and emphasizing fielding too much.

 

I don't think I am, and I know a lot of people would agree with me, but to each their own. I think he should let this thread get back to the game.

Bard doubles down the line.

[Derwood]

good play to DeRo's left, not so much to his right. Double.

[C.C.]

I'll be damned, I thought Wood was dead

 

Don't be a Yankee fan!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

good play to DeRo's left, not so much to his right. Double.

 

Not too many 3B make the play on that ball.

There is a difference between being upset with how someone is playing, and being an ungrateful Yankees fan.

 

Thanks, o lord of baseball fandom.

 

Wait, aren't you the one who said the game was over when were down 1 run in the 5th inning?

 

And aren't you the one who said Barrett has been mediocre?

 

 

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Carry on.

 

I'd rather be ungrateful then whiny. Give it a rest!

 

I'm not whining. I'm laughing at people.

 

As long as it's not Barrett.

 

No if Barrett displays stupidity, I got no problems with you laughing at him.

Really its annoying because you're telling us how we should react. Just take care of your own reactions and everone will be fine.

[Sammy Sofa]

I heart Wood.

[inari]

Where did that first pitch miss?

[Derwood]

good play to DeRo's left, not so much to his right. Double.

 

Not too many 3B make the play on that ball.

 

which means our 2B playing third had no shot

Sweet, stick around. It usually doesn't take long for that to happen.
