lou called brian roberts 'that little guy' on the pregame show when lou talked about him hitting yesterday

 

I still wouldn't mind if he could call him "our little guy" ooooh right around August 1st.

 

Why? DeRosa has been better.

 

I would think we could find a place for DeRo as well.

 

Where? I can't think of one.

the bench, if Roberts is on the team.

Who would have thought we'd be 19 games over .500 with no Rich Hill and a garbage Ted Lilly?

 

Hey jerk, I just made a post like that a little bit ago. But you forgot to mention Z and Soriano on the DL and Pie at Mesa.

No, he hasn't. I was wrong. He had better numbers some time ago, but doesn't anymore. My bad.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Based on Lou's comments that the price for Roberts was Gallagher, Marshall, and Cedeno; I'm glad we didn't make that deal.

At best DeRo and BRob would have been comparable this yr at 2B. Not an upgrade, in that sense.

A few weeks ago, that would have been correct, but not anymore. Roberts' numbers have sky rocketed.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Patterson took a strange route to that ball...but made the catch none the less.

He hasn't been as better as it would have cost to get him.

That's sorted by... batting average.

How about Fuku to CF, DeRo to RF, Roberts 2b. Fuku's already been dabbling in CF a bit.

Not an upgrade? That's just not true as of right now.

Lilly looks better than Fontenot at the plate.

Nice piece of hitting.

Based on season stats, he wouldn't. DeRo will get hot again. Why waste assest to get a 2B, (which WE DON'T NEED) when the Cubs could use the same assests on another top of the line pitcher.

[VanceJergins]

what the hell happened to 2007 lilly?

 

I'm not too worried about Lilly. He's been steadily improving each month, with a 2.70 ERA in June. He just needs to cut down on the walks and homeruns.

[BCVM22]

Pie got busted to Mesa? Ouch. When did this happen?

 

He didn't get busted, per say. He's down there with an injured hand.

Really? It seems like he's been much crappier this month.
