[Butterscup1679666578]

soriano has put even less effort into defense than usual

[Andy]

soriano has put even less effort into defense than usual

Which is fine because he's tearing the hell out of the ball.

 

Wait.

[Andy]

I do not believe that stat is true.

seriously.

[Butterscup1679666578]

score runs plz

[Butterscup1679666578]

soriano continues his hot streak

[Butterscup1679666578]

now i know how fred felt in 2006.

[Soul]

My God he looked bad on that.

[Cubswin11]

Soriano at least needs the next 3 games off. Play a combination of Fox, Hoff, Reed, Kosuke and Bradley (if healthy) in the OF.

[E.J.]

This whole team needs a few days off.

[Soul]

This whole team needs a few days off.

 

I could use a few days off from this team, but there's nothing else out there now to hold my interest.

[E.J.]

You need to provide stats like fred does. The thread is dead without them.

[E.J.]

Demp looking good the past few innings. It'd be great if this team could score runs.

[Andy]

If you ask me, Len jinxed it by passing along that blatantly lying stat saying we do well against guys making their debuts.

[Butterscup1679666578]

cubbed.

[TruffleShuffle]

this guy's stuff makes me want to run and grab a bat, yet he's given up 1 run in 6 innings to an alleged contender for the nl central.

[witty alias]

I do not believe that stat is true.

 

What was the stat?

[coldsteel]

The Cure's Robert Smith was a Cubs fan. When the Cubs stunk, he wrote a poem about his relationship with the Cubs and his wish for a fluke rainout so he might escape:

 

you shatter me your grip on me a hold on me

so dull it kills you stifle me infectious sense of

hopelessness and prayers for rain i suffocate i

breathe in dirt and nowhere shines but desolate

and drab the hours all spent on killing time

again all waiting for the rain

What was the stat?

 

Since 2002, pitchers making their major league debut against the Cubs have something like a 5.57 ERA (14 starts IIRC).

[E.J.]

Geo killed that ball.
