They have to go with Murton, Pie, Jones at this point, don't they? Floyd has to sit. Seeing him run into right center over and over made me wince, and those swings are just pathetic.

 

It's a no-brainer if you ask me, but I won't count on it. My guess is Pie doesn't play while Jones is hitting and Floyd continues to platoon in RF with DeRosa. Murton probably sharing time with Patterson. It's stupid, but it's what I expect at this point.

 

The best hope is to hope Jones continues his recent surge and Murton produces like he did last year. Floyd just looks absolutely terrible out there.

Obsessed...

 

Anyway, if Rammy isn't in the lineup tonight I'm not even gonna bother watching one second of this game.

On the contrary I want what's best for this team.

In the current situation, Murton is one of the three best OFer's on the team, thus he should start.

By the way Lou the Cubs are 32-16 when Pie plays, give him a shot.

 

That's an amazing stat

 

It's actually a really flawed stat, considering a decent percentage of the time he's been up this season he's played as a defensive replacement (and defensive replacements are typically only used when teams are winning). The Cubs are 18-12 when Pie starts.

 

BTW, that 32-16 number is now 32-17. Pie pinch-hit last night, and the Cubs lost.

I fully agree. Murton and Pie have got to bring more to the table for the offense than Floyd... its hard not to.

They said 32-16 last night during the game... so 32-17 since he played last night.

 

edit: cubcoltpacer and I were thinking the same thing at the same time.

There are numerous other changes that would be better for the team. You don't post about any of them.

The last time you said that the Cubs hit 3 bombs against the Reds! Maybe it'll work again!

I don't recall saying that at all.

I remember something along the lines of.. I don't want anything to do with the Cubs game tonight. Then you said something about a concert or something.

 

But anyways..just tryin to bring some positive mojo. Somebody has to. :lol:

Posted
I said I wouldn't have anything to do with them since I was going to a concert. Very different situation.

Then I hope we blow them out so you wish you would have watched the game!

 

Then God Bless DVR! I get the best of both worlds. Not watching, and having it JUSt in case. Hyeh hyeh.

 

Im so superstitious..........I just got a dvr 2 weeks ago and when I record the games the cubs are 2-7. Im not gonna be home tonight and I dont care but Im not gonna record the game cuz Im sick of jinxing them.

Thank god we are out of Houston! The Vance curse is over too :lol:

 

Cubs score early, often, and raise the W flag for the first time in a week.

Yeah, I'm putting this one on Vance. Both the Texas and the Houston series were absolute failures.

Don't forget the Florida series. Vance has been there for possibly the worst three series of the season.

Dear vance:

 

Please stay the @#$#! away from Cubs games.

 

Thank You,

Cubs fans everywhere

I tried people. I looked for ways to distract Vance from the game. I looked for ways to break his mojo and I got no help from anyone.

With that kind of record it ain't a stretch to say that if he sings "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at Wrigley, the whole place might collapse.
