The Cubs Since The "Tirade"

[CubinNY]

That's also around the time Theriot became the everyday SS, Fontenot would arrive 1 week later, Marmol began a more valuable role out of the pen while Eyre took a lesser role.

 

Between Zambrano getting hot and everything I previously mentioned with Lou figuring out what works and what doesn't, I put more stock into that than a tirade leading to a 2 month hot streak.

 

They got confidence from playing well and building upon that, not a manager getting tossed. Every team gets hot for stretches the Cubs have combined that and usually having more talent than the opponent to play well for the last 60 days.

Right. That's what I was going to point out.

 

A similar thing happend with the Marlins in 2003. Yes, those Marlins. Torborg was fired and Mckeon hired and all the sudden McKeon is a genius. What the baseball writers forgot to mention is that shortly before Torborg was fired, Miguel Caberra and Dontrell Willis came up and they stopped playing iffy veterns like Connine.

 

Argumentum ad consequentiam and Post hoc ergo propter hoc, both logical falicies.

 

Nice posts Jon and UK/Pinghitter.

saying the game is 90% mental is one of the most ridiculous things i've ever read on this board.

 

Alright then share your wisdom and tell us how much of the game is mental.

Well whatever was going on with the tirade and the win streak, one thing's for damn sure:

 

It's all over now.
