There's some cushion....

[imb]

Just smoked it. Where is this power coming from? (just kidding, the pirates pitchers are terrible.)

[CubmanPi]

Soriano annihilated that pitch :shock:

[DivineBovine]

I thought the wind was blowing in. He crushed that ball.

[UMFan83]

Geez, this is actually scaring me. All freaking year we wait for the Cubs to hit HRs. We had a stretch where we didnt hit a HR in 8 straight games. I guess we were saving them all for September??

[Omar]

Len: "Cubs went into the month of September without a 20-homer player for the first time"

 

Soriano: "LOL."

Curtain call!

[Bruno7481]

hey i'm pretty sure that hill could've gone up there and struck out

 

after 3 missed bunt attempts most likely.

 

:lol:

 

I'm kidding.

[jaydee]

if only soriano took more walks like theriot

Let's hope it continues into October.

[CubmanPi]

What was someone saying about guys on this team following homeruns by coming out and chasing garbage? C'mon, DeRo!

And October.

[Iceblink]

Cedeno has sort of become our Mark Madsen.

[Mizzou]

I'm not talking about players in general though, I'm talking about one player. So yes, when you have one player who's been at the same level for four years, it's a perfectly fine sample size.

 

You don't need to look at 100 years worth of data to find something out about one guy.

 

There you go, Jacque.

 

Edit: Jacque? Wow, not sure where that came from.

 

 

This is completely your opinion and miles and miles away from being fact.

How? If you know that Ramirez was good with RISP in 2004, good with RISP in 2005, good with RISP in 2006, and good with RISP in 2007, you're telling me that you can't logically conclude that he'll be good with RISP in 2008?

 

While I do agree with that statement (we can't logically conclude that at all), what I'm really telling you is that you can't just arbitrarily conclude what a good sample size is.

So what sort of sample size would you like to see? How many years must Aramis do well with RISP before you're fine with the sample size to say that it's not just random?

[cubweiser03]

Soriano, Lee, and ARam are freaking HOT

[snoodmonger]

i wish i could watch these games. :cry:

[Bruno7481]

Soriano is earning his salary this month.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Back to back big offensive games, especally vs. lefties is a big thing for the Cubbies.

[TruffleShuffle]

Cedeno has sort of become our Mark Madsen.

 

:lol:

 

nice to see some rare run support for rich hill

[CubmanPi]

When was the last time the Cubs had 8 HR in two games?

[BigSlick]

Geez, this is actually scaring me. All freaking year we wait for the Cubs to hit HRs. We had a stretch where we didnt hit a HR in 8 straight games. I guess we were saving them all for September??

 

Why should this scare you? Isn't this the best time to hit home runs?

[cubs121]

i wish i could watch these games. :cry:

same here man... :!:

[SouthSideRyan]

Carlos Marmol is going to die on the mound one of these days.

[BigSlick]

Uh, interesting time to bring in Marmol, to say the least.

Scaring him in a good, good way, I'm sure.
