True or False: Jacque Jones catches that ball in RF.

 

Let's put it this way, I like the lawn jockey idea proposed earlier in the thread..

[anabiono]

True or False: Jacque Jones catches that ball in RF.

 

true!

 

true!!!

 

true!!!!!!!!

 

"True"

 

QFT

[GlassCow]

Apparently Garner's pre-game voodoo has worked.

[E.J.]

True or False: Jacque Jones catches that ball in RF.

 

We would have a better chance if we just stuck a cardboard cutout of Floyd in the outfield. He has no range what-so-ever.

[Cynosure]

Sammy would have caught it.

GLAD WE GOT SALLY SORIANO INSTEAD OF CARLOS LEE!!!

 

As I said, is this cubs.com or NSBB?

 

Oh, it's NSBB. Grow up.

 

As I said, it doesn't matter idiot, he is still overrated and shouldn't be leading off.

 

That was pretty much completely unnecessary. Calling other users names and "sally Soriano" is not why people come to this board.

I hear the low, distant growling of Modzilla in the distance. We don't do that here.

[WrigleyinEngland]

ok , i'm going to smoke 3 ciggys at once outside that's what is required just to watch a k Hill AB.

[salukifudd]

Does Floyd bring any value to the Cubs whatsoever?

[CyHawk_Cub]

Fake rally??..............................Of course it is..

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa singled to center field

[CubsBears29]

Again, if not going to produce offensively, PUT THE BEST DEFENSE OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!

 

Instead of Murton/Patt-Pie-Jones, we get Murton-Jones-Floyd.

He's a heck of a nice guy.

[Soul]

Yes.

[E.J.]

Chances of a DP here? 90%?

[inari]

He's a heck of a nice guy.

 

Pretty much what I was going to say. He's got some good leadership ability from what I've heard, but uh.... that's it.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fontenot singled to center field , DeRosa to second

[Sosa21MVP]

The Cubs haven't hit into a triple play this season..........yet

[CubsBears29]

1st and 2nd, no outs will = 0 runs.

 

Fake rally at its best.

[Smack]

Fake rally time!

He's a heck of a nice guy.

Yeah, I wish he wasn't such a stand up guy.. I could easily hate him then. His being nice makes it a bit difficult, at least for me.

[Soul]

Chances of a DP here? 90%?

 

No. Doing that with one baserunner isn't enough of a heartbreak. They'll wait for multiples then pop out & DP to kill all hope and increase the suicide rate.

[WrigleyinEngland]

1st & 2nd no outs.....00000000000runs book it.

[mul21]

I'm sure this was discussed earlier, but does Lou hate Pie?
