9/3 White Sox (Torres) @ Cubs (Dempster) 1:20 CT WGN

[jersey cubs fan]

Great so he hasn't pooped allover himself. He still hasn't been all that great. Not like we paid him. Not like the local media paints him out to be. We get articles about cutting Z. Yet Demp has had the same type year.

 

I never said he was great. My point is he hasn't been nearly as bad as he could have been, which, given this team's position, is kind of a bright spot.

[illiniguy]

Aaron Miles lol

How deep a bench would we have to have to not let that little stain get in?

[E.J.]

Honest question: when was the last time Miles got on base?

touche. It's been a fun year.

I suppose you're in the "let him make $18 million to OPS .720" crowd. Let's hope Tom Ricketts can see a sunk cost a bit better.

 

No, god, I'd dump him for a bag of balls if it was possible. I'm taking about the "LET'S MAKE HIM MISERABLE" garbage.

 

Understood, but the way I figure is that despite playing through injuries, has Soriano really worked as hard as possible to make the team better? Why give him the satisfaction of even being able to play? Let him earn his money that he's getting paid for a few seasons 5 years ago while at least feeling guilty for stealing the money.

 

You're taking an injured baseball player's struggles personally. I don't think I need to explain why this is weird.

 

I would say that the several thousand dollars spent on season tickets every year give me a right to take it personally. The money I pay for those tickets is definitely a good portion of my disposable income and I feel I have the right to voice frustration and my opinion on the product I theoretically have paid for.

Honest question: when was the last time Miles got on base?

 

He walked on the 22nd. He's 1 for 25 with a .231 OPS since coming off the DL.

[Keener98]

Hey Theriot, do you remember what a strike looks like? Try just swinging at those some time

Bwahahaha. Seriously couldn't anyone of the posters on here do that?

Thank you. That's solid work on his part. You have to really try hard to maintain a .231 OPS.

I purposely have avoided looking up his stats for fear of what I might find. Thank you for abrubtly presenting it to us. It's kinda like quickly tearing off a band-aid.

[inari]

We all knew Aaron Miles would be bad, but no one can honestly say they expected him to be this bad.

Seriously. Any person here could go 1 for 25. Just bunt everytime and try to beat out the throw or swing at every pitch you see. Considering how many pitches you would see over the course of 25 at-bats, you're bound to make contact on one of them and hit it through a hole somwhere. Heck, I'd rather have Billy Crystal on this team right now than Aaron Miles.

Aaron Miles is a horrendous ballplayer, but you're way off thinking every person here could go 1 for 25. Especially if all they did was (try to) bunt.

Agree to disagree I suppose.

I was thinking more along the lines of beating his on base percentage. You could probably walk a few of those times.

The organist should start playing circus music.

[hardcorecubfan]

This is hurting me just watching this

[Flames24Rulz]

That would've been the ugliest double play in the history of baseball.

[NotSoSober]

I only wish we could pitch to AJ again.

[inari]

 

Agree to disagree I suppose.

 

I mean, you can agree to disagree if you want, but you're definitely wrong. Most everyone here would be very unlikely to go 1-25. The only hope many of us would have would be drawing walks or guessing the exact location for a straight fastball or changeup. I guarantee the vast majority of people here would be struck out on three pitches literally every time by major league breaking pitches.

[Careless]

This season cannot end soon enough

Assume though your first at bat the pitcher doesn't know that. You might get a fastball. Just guess the right spot and you got a shot to tie him.

[SouthSideRyan]

This goes back to people's misconceptions about bunting when they freak the [expletive] out over a guy not getting one down. Bunting against a major league pitcher is really really difficult.

[hardcorecubfan]

This season remind me of the decade of the 70's

[muntjack]

Oh, that was fantastic. MLBtv comes back early sometimes and Len and Bob don't know they are on the air.

 

This time Bob goes: This is horrible. I don't want any fingerprints on this ****.
