6/29 CUBS (Harden) @ Pirates (Duke), 6:05p WCIU-TV, WGN 720

[Tryptamine]

That is so unlucky.

[JonJayCutler]

LOL a grand-slam for Casey McGehee. I really want to see what Aaron Miles could do in a Brewers uniform.

[Butterscup1679666578]

DeRosa's now 0-5. I'm holding out hope he becomes our mole, i.e. Miles

exactly. he says he loves the cubs, so let's see it in action.

I'm with you, but any ABs against Lincecum should be stricken from the record.

I wonder what it must be like to have random no name scrub come to your team and play way over their head.

Problem with that is DeRosa's Bad > Miles Good

i'm hoping that the brewers think he's good and keep giving him lots of playing time.

Did Riot just hit his 7th HR or his 8th?

I'd take 2008 1 HR Theriot over 2009 7+ HR Theriot

Agreed. I don't think I saw 1 good AB from Casey last season (and he had plenty of shots in September).

 

At least the Cubs, after all the drama yesterday, look like an actual professional baseball team.

You mean the guy who batted 300-something and didn't K much? Yea, me too.

He basically has the same OPS this season as he did last season. Actually, it's a couple points higher this season.

[Careless]

Every year I forget that the main camera in Pittsburgh is slightly to the right and below most other cameras

[Butterscup1679666578]

Yeah but I'd rather his OPS be OBP-heavy than SLG-heavy. We need guys like him getting on base, not cranking HRs.

[JonJayCutler]

For some reason today I don't have that same feeling of fear I usually have when Gregg is trying to close out a game. Perhaps has something to do with the team we're playing.

slg at the expense of obp

Everybody on yer feet !!

Then does that mean you can strike any an all at-bats DeRosa had while facing crappy pitchers, too?

[CubmanPi]

slg at the expense of obp

At first I read that as "sig" instead of "slg."

 

Then I realized that, coming from you, it still fits.

I agree I would rather have Theriot, who will most likely be batting 2nd the rest of the season, having a OBP strong OPS and not a SLG strong OPS. Theriot's OBP is what .335 right now? I would much prefer he went back to his slap hitting, going to RF, working the count ways and had a OBP around .370-.385 and SLG about .100ish points less.

[Tryptamine]

That was a strike.

[E.J.]

Wow. Was that an actual non-stressful save from Gregg? Amazing.

[JonJayCutler]

Cubs win!
