we definitely will get smoked in the playoffs again if we get there.

 

I'm working on the Cardinals '06 theory, where the fewer wins the Cubs manage to win the division with, the better their chances in the playoffs

i was hoping for that in 07, but it doesn't work that way for the cubs.

Why did Soto, who's younger than Hill, need days off? Yet Hill can play all these games in a row?

Because Lou has a lot of illogical tendencies. Somehow he thinks that we are better off keeping our best players out of the lineup as often as possible.

 

You're joking, right?

 

Is it really difficult to grasp why the valuable starting catcher gets extra days off?

It makes a lot more sense with a catcher.

 

With other players, though, I think Lou goes a little overboard. One game in particular stands out, the one where he rested the entire lineup on the same day (can't recall who it was against). Where does he expect runs to come from? He routinely rests multiple key players on the same day, when I feel it would be a better idea to rest them one at a time (and less often), so that our offense doesn't suffer more than it has to. Not to mention the fact that we have huge offensive issues anyway.

The thinking behind that is that it's better to get the days off out of the way all at once and have one weak lineup instead of missing a bat or two for 7-8 straight games. That way only one game is affected by the days off instead of a weeks worth or more.

I had a dream that Mark Prior came back as a switch pitching pitcher and dominated us in a game. It was weird.

 

I don't know why, I felt I had to post that.

 

Remember any details?

 

Like what team did he play for, and did he have some kind of glove that could be worn on either hand?
