anyone have any clue why Lou is hitting Colvin leadoff? It just makes no sense.

I was wondering if they're trying to get him to work on his plate discipline by putting him there and telling him his job is to just get on base.

 

That's what I was thinking, too. I don't think he'd be leading off if the games mattered anymore, but this gets him to the plate the most.

Oh joy, Carlos Silva is injured. I didn't think you could strain fat.

I really wish we would have sold high on Carlos.

 

Me too. Apparently, someone reminded him he sucks.

[TruffleShuffle]

you guys seem to be assuming that other general managers are too stupid to look at silva's contract and performance prior to this year.

Is it just me or has Colvin been walking a lot lately?

Dewitt>>>>>>>>>>>>Theriot

Damn you Fowler, that would have made things interesting.

 

Soriano hit a ball 2 inches from tying the game.

Is it just me or has Colvin been walking a lot lately?

 

his ISOD is very acceptable, considering his minor league history and rookie status

[Irrelevant Dude]

Ok seriously Len, stop saying that Soriano's ball might have been a home run. You don't have to be a physics expert to tell that it was below the top of the fence and heading downward.

[UMFan83]

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

 

1-6 in the last 2 seasons at this park.

Maybe Im just being optimistic here considering the teams ahead of us, but Im not ready to give up on this team just yet...to land a top 5 draft pick.

It's bad enough the Cubs suck. Its even worst when their cocktease of a comeback causes me to lose my fantasy game. [expletive] you cobs
