Other games 5/12

[CubsGM]

I just wanted to say I really hate Ryan Braun and Lance Berkman.

3-3 Astros tied it on a Berkman homer :x

[JimSorgi]

We don't need anymore other games threads. The Cubs control their own destiny now. All we have to do is win out.

Should I be worried about the Astros? Their pitching isn't great but they've got a solid offense.

Their pitching is awful.

I know...I guess I'm just antsy because they're on a roll lately.

[killthegoat06]

4-3 Astros.

[David]

The Cards schedule looks sickeningly easy until mid June when they start a stretch where they have to face Philly, Boston, and Detroit.

 

Then again, the Pirates have been pretty good when not facing us.

Should I be worried about the Astros? Their pitching isn't great but they've got a solid offense.

Their pitching is awful.

 

So is their hitting.

 

And their fielding.

They have the best lineup in baseball

Berkman goes 3-4.

Triple shy of the cycle.

Hitting .393

Um...

 

You might want to check out Boston's lineup and the number of runs they score a game. They beat the Astros hands-down. Also, might want to check out the lineup that plays in Wrigley everyday. They aren't too shabby either.

That's the funniest thing I've heard all day. The rest of their lineup outside of those guys is complete crap.

Yeah, but those four guys consist of half their lineup.

(best to worst, imo)

 

Derrek Lee = Berkman (maybe a slight edge to Berkman)

Ramirez > Carlos Lee

Soriano > Tejada

Soto > Pence

Fukudome > Wigginton

DeRosa > Matsui/Loretta

Theriot > Towles

Pie/Johnson > Bourn

So you're saying that those 4 + crap is better than

 

Ellsbury

Pedroia

Ortiz

Ramirez

Youkalis

Lowell

Drew

Lugo

Varitek

 

Or however they line them up?

 

Hell, even:

Soriano

Theriot

Lee

Ramirez

Fukudome

Soto

DeRosa

Pie/Johnson

Or Weeks, Cameron, Fielder, Braun, Hall, Hart, Hardy, Kendall

Or Granderson, Renteria, Guillen, Ordonez, Cabrera, Sheffield, Rodriguez, whoever

Or Rollins, Victorino, Utley, Howard, Burrell, Jenkins, Feliz, whoever

Or Damon, Jeter, Abreu, ARod, Matsui, Giambi, Cabrera, Cano, Posada

Or probably a few other teams.

Nah, I'm just saying their lineup is above average. Especially with Berkman hitting the way he has.
