4/8 Cubs (Lilly) @ Astros (Moehler) - 7:05 CDT CSN+

[Keener98]

Big brightspots for tonights game....Fuku, Patton, and Gooz.

[Soul]

Again, why keep Bradley in the game? If you're putting Gathright into CF, moved Fuku over to RF for the 9th.

 

You beat me to it. Stupid. Why pull the superior defender when you could move him to his natural position?

 

 

Reporters asked Lou that the other night. He said Milton is a good outfielder and he won't be replacing him for defense. After some of the mistakes Fukudome made in CF towards the end of spring. I think Lou is little nervous about Fukudome defense in CF. But if he starts to do well I'm sure Lou will keep him in there.

 

 

Fuku is still a much better fielder, and Milton is injury prone to boot. It makes zero sense.

 

Lou will wait until after Milt's first trip to the DL, then he'll start replacing him late.

[Cynosure]

Here is the guy Milton Bradley will be receiving tonight (henceforth known as "Milton's Black Guy of the Game"):

 

In honor of Milton's great eye tonight, he will be receiving a black guy whose eyes, ironically, don't work.

If he keeps doing it, it will cost us a game at some point.

Don't worry guys Saturday will be fun.

 

We got a Cubs game as well as a Hawks/Wings game that night.

time for a stress-free off day

No such thing. We have to stress over Geo's trip to the doctor.

Moehler's ERA is .2 lower than his uni number.

Good to that see Bradley and Gathright have figured out the end-of-game hip jump.

[TruffleShuffle]

i'm a little worried that bradley will hurt himself doing that.

Gathright looks terrified. I cant tell if hes celebrating with them or trying to get away.

That's the highest jumping trio we've had...because they're all black, get it. :D

I saw a movie on this topic once.

 

BTW, I noticed you posting on the WeareDepaul forums recently. That was you right? For the record I agree, I feel bad for Dar Tucker too. My friend is a huge Illini fan that says that Dar was thinking about coming there, and he can't believe someone of Dar's talent got stuck playing for such a crappy team.

Ya that's me. Die Hard DePaul fan who has had it up to here!! Written some letters and emails to the AD without a response. That place is a joke.

 

It's weird, DePaul is the White Sox to the Illini's Cubs. Strange stuff. Oh well, if they ever get a president/AD who actually want to put an effort into the program, they can resurrect it.

I don't want to derail this thread even though it's pretty much dead anyways since the game is over, but I agree the place is a joke. It's impossible to say one thing positive about the program right now. At least if they fired Wainright, you could at least say we're taking a step in the right direction. But the fact that they secretly signed him to an extension and then didn't tell the public until a year later, and told it to us to basically say "we aren't going to fire him because we kinda sorta signed him to an extension awhile back". Just unbelievable.

 

I never thought I would agree with someone who basically is wishing that a top player would leave my favorite school's program because I feel bad for them making a bad decision to come here, but I'm right there.
