[Sammy Sofa]

Nicely done, Riot.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 4-3 when they execute a sac bunt.... 2-7 when they don't

CUBS are 2-0 when they hit at least one triple.... 4-10 when they don't

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[Little Slide Rooter]

Atta boy Theriot, keep that that trade value up.

[Sammy Sofa]

No small irony that as we start hearing write ups of how well Castro is doing that Theriot suddenly seems a lot more "motivated."

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fukudome walked

[UMFan83]

No mocking at all. Lou Boudreau was the CUBS radio broadcaster in 1960, teamed with Jack Quinlan. Along about half past June, in one of the greatest head scratchers of all times, Mr Wrigley told Boudreau and manager Charlie Grimm to switch places. The first thing Boudreau did as manager was to bench starting 3b Don Zimmer (who they had just traded for in the off-season) and called up a rookie by the name of Ron Santo. You know how that story turned out. Meantime, while Boudreau had some success as manager, when the season was over, he asked Mr. Wrigley for a 2 year contract to continue as manager. This was totally unheard of. Nobody, not players, nor coaches, nor managers, ever got more than a one year contract !! Bottom line is..... Wrigley refused, Boudreau went back to the booth, Wrigley invented the "College of Coaches" to save money, and the CUBS lost 103 games twice in the next 5 years.

 

I love your stories Fred

I really like Kosuke.

If we cant get good trade value for Theriot, I have no problem with keeping him around at 2B.

[Sammy Sofa]

I know it's 2 outs, but I'm a little surprised they don't just walk Lee here.
