CUBS WIN A GAME! CUBS WIN A GAME! OH MY GOD THE CUBS WIN A GAME!!!

 

Now on to The Cell where we might win another but probably wont.

[Little Slide Rooter]

[expletive], was that Ray Boy's 3rd hit of the day?

 

Hes one of those Augie Ojeda/Craig Counsell/Aaron Miles/Jeff Keppinger types who the Cubs can never get out.

Great point. His career .264 .301 .342 .642 line in 436 PA against the Cubs show that he's a force to be reckoned with.

 

Keppinger: .252 .299 .273 .571 in 155 PA.

 

Augie: .243 .333 .243 .577 in 43 PA.

 

Counsell is the only one that comes even remotely close to being a guy they can "never get out", and that's with a line of .256 .362 .379 .740 in 356 PA, so yeah, these guys all suck and nowhere near being "Cub killers."

But the reason people think of them as "Cub killers" is because they remember the two or three big hits they got against the Cubs. They don't remember the multitude out of outs they have all made against the Cubs.

Right, and there's a gigantic difference between that and being someone that the Cubs can "never get out" or have trouble facing.

I never called them Cub killers more like pests, and yes, weve gotten them out more often than not, but it just feels like we can never get them out. Its not even usually that big base hit, it just feels like they come up with a singe every time they come up against us, usually meaningless. Except Keppinger, it seems like hes beaten us on multiple occasions with both the Reds and Astros. Im sure there are a lot of teams out there who feel the same way about our little pest, Ryan Theriot. Im msure those teams fans feel the same way about them as we do about Theriot to, aside from maybe Wilson whose a great defensive player. And dont forget that Indians SS or 2B from last year whose name eludes me. He hit 3 home runs in that series vs. The Cubs, and I dont think hed ever hit 1 before and probably not since.

Hyperbole

 

hy·per·bo·le

 1. obvious and intentional exaggeration.

 

 

I'm sure he understood that Craig Counsell doesn't have a .1000 batting average lifetime against the Cubs.

So what. He claimed they can never get them out, when in fact they usually get them out. If they had a .400 OBP his claim would make some sense. But the actual numbers don't come close to supporting the claim, so there's no reason to make it.

Hardly a cub killer. Unless he's playing for the Cubs. ;-)

Exactly. It's just a completely pointless thing to say since it has no basis in reality. If it was just hyperbole you'd think there'd at least be something to base it on. It makes sense when someone says someone like Biggio was a pest, but trying to claim any of these guys were or are is just bizarre. I have no idea what the hell anyone is remembering if they think Jack Wilson vs. the Cubs and don't remember a stretch of terrible, terrible baseball. It just comes across as more of that "oh, woe is the Cubs fan" self-pitying [expletive].
