Why is it that Morgan consistently makes excuses for all the wrong players, and refuses to ackowledge the right ones?

 

It's uncanny.

[C.C.]

It can never be 123

[illiniguy]

Joe is needlessly trashing Japanese baseball leagues now, and I'm not really sure why.

 

"Pujols's numbers would be astronomical if he played in Japan"

 

It is true, though.

No hist Sherlock. They are here too.

 

I guess we have different definitions of astronomical.

 

Soriano playing LF makes me lol

I think he is amazing here, and would be better there. But, it wasn't like Joe was on to something that none of us don't already know.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Duncan walked

[Flames24Rulz]

Yet another walk for the bum.

[CubsGM]

That was an unintentionally walk?

I think he just sucks Joe.

[Andy]

yes japanese hitters can only swing like hideki matsui or ichiro

 

Frankly, he reminds me of Tadahito Iguchi.

 

I was thinking Tsuyoshi Shinjo

Kenji Johjima. Come on, that's obvious.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-3 when they allow fewer than 3 walks.... 12-9 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Soul]

With Marquis out there, I get that feeling.

 

You know, the gun-to-your-head, Russian-Roulette feeling.

Thinking was invented by Billy Beane and is evil and destroying the 70's baseball era

And here we go...

[cubscausestress]

Yeah i know. I try to ignore how either blatantly obvious or blatantly wrong everything that comes out of his mouth is.

[Andy]

i just got in. so what's the deal with ramirez? is he going to be out for a while or what?

Likely just precautionary. I bet he's back tomorrow.

They say there is a good chance he'll play tomorrow.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Cubs have managed 3 fewer baserunners but wrung out 6 extra pitches through three innings. I love this team.

Sunday Night Baseball promotes new music albums now? lol

Lou said he hopes to be back tomorrow.

[illiniguy]

Why the hell is Glaus in so close?

[Andy]

Why the hell is Glaus in so close?

He's white and short, must be a bunt threat.
