5/13 Fathers (Estes) @ Cubs (Marquis) 7:05 CSNC

[Soul]

This is as bad as Moesha.

[cubs121]

what a bummer...

[inari]

Jesus why is Fontenot in?

WHY IS HE STILL ON THIS TEAM?

 

oh i don't know. .391 OBP? 117 OPS+? ability to play many positions, including middle infield? those might be some explanations.

 

Umm, Fontenot can play multiple positions?

 

He could probably play first base.

He played SS quite a bit in ST, but I'm not sure I would be comfortable running him out there consistently

He can play SS and 2B of course. Oh, the same positions as Cedeno.

[bring stone back]

You're not doing a good job of looking at the alternatives. If theriot swings, there's a significant chance he gets a hit or walk (more than a third!) and does better than the sac. There's another 1/3 or more chance that he drives at least marquis to third while making an out, basically the same as a successful sac. There's a small chance he gets an out and no movement, and a very small chance of a dp.

 

theriot the last 28 days: .370/.452/.480/.932

 

yeah, that's a guy you want bunting. why not bunt with lee and ramirez in similar situations, whille you're at it?

 

As I said before, different situations for different management. No, I wouldn't bunt with Lee or Ramirez. Would I for Theriot in the right sitation (to get Lee, Ramirez and Fukudome possibly runners in scoring position when playing for 1 run to extend a possible weather delay) - yes?

 

Theriot sucks, he still can't hit, sample size....."yeah, tha'ts a guy you want bunting." So, now he's good then? Which one is it?

 

Wrong guy for this argument.

 

What, is he going to climb out of my computer and beat me up or call me a name?

[BigSlick]

whoever said that we would be shut out the rest of the way was right

 

lame, i hate losing like this

[Little Slide Rooter]

Anyone else have a visceral, irrational dislike for submariners?

 

Ive always hated them. Never knew why. they always look a lot harder to hit than they really are.

[TruffleShuffle]

no way, kent tekulve was awesome

[Illini Iceman]

Well, best we can hope for is a split against this horrible team now.

 

What did I miss? Why is that the best we can hope for?

[Rob]

This guy is still in the bloody booth?

fontenot was projected to have better offensive numbers before the season started

[Little Slide Rooter]

I really want to punch this guy. Nothing against him, but this game is pissing me off, and hes the most annoying thing in site.

No. It's just that he's been the one guy on the board defending Theriot in every single thread.

Hi :lol:

[chuckywang]

Why did they chase Simon Bon out of the booth with only 2 outs?

 

BTW, Simon. The Sinatra/Kelly musical was called Take Me Out to the Ball Game.

[SpongeWorthy]

Enrique Gonzalez looks like a goblin in his gamecast photo.

[CubsGM]

"Cubs have Lee, Aramis, Fukudome coming up"

Oh crap

[SouthSideRyan]

He was already there for his half inning. They let him stick around because the Cubs hit like ass in just under a minute in the bottom of the 7th.

[inari]

I think I'd rather face Hoffman than Bell at this point.

[CubsGM]

Good swing Lee

[Roast]

I don't like it when we're not winning.

[Careless]

painful to watch the middle of the order today

[CubsGM]

Good swing Aramis

[BigSlick]

If the Cubs don't win I'm going to give Lou threatening phone calls
