Re: 5/5 Cubs (Dempster) vs. Dusty Baker's Reds (Cueto)

Fontenot and Derosa had awful games...how about cedeno start tomorrow?

[UMFan83]

My hatred for Mark DeRosa is really getting out of control. Hes a journeyman utility man, yet we keep him in our every day lineup.

 

Didn't like his .371 OBP last year? Yeah he sucks!

He slumped early last season also and put up above average numbers. Keep hatin' though.

Revisionist history. DeRosa is a perfectly capable starter and above average. He was absolutely destroying the ball before this 1 for 17 stretch. He probably could use a day off every now and then, though.

[KaiserCesar]

DeRosa looks like he could use a day off. Too bad the Cubs don't have anyone else that can play that position.

 

Other than that Cedeno punk who's only hitting .380 ish, no.

 

Middle infielders from LSU are laaaaaame.

Votto grounded out to the pitcher, unassisted

At least Marmol get another day off today.

Do I really have to put every last ounce of sarcasm in green font?

Encarnacion popped out (foul) to first base

Thom says Wood was within hours of retiring last year. Ok.

I've actually heard things similar to that.

He really said that? What a idiot.

Didn't say how many hours, so technically he's right.

Well, it is a game thread where everybody tends to be overly emotional, so maybe. I wasn't sure if you were serious or not. Lay it on a little thicker, man. :mrgreen:

"No one talks about when Wood was throwing 120-130 pitches in a game at 20 years old"

 

BECAUSE HE DIDN'T

 

Christ I'm gonna kill this guy

[SABR Gamer]

What a bum, I'm sick of Wood.

[C.C.]

Now we get the good Wood!

[CubsGM]

PUT ARAMIS IN!

[weatherdood]

Way to go Woody.

Please Cubs... do this for NSBB and to drown Thom in his misery.

Not to mention that his namesake is basically a less versatile journeyman utility man with less hitting ability.
