    LOVE THERIOT!!!

    Cedeno is brutal. He looks and seems lost out there. Even thought they both swung and the first pitch, there is no comparison. One out and the guys has walked 2 of 3 guys, you need to try to get a rally going. Soriano that is part of his game, often hoping to take the first pitch yard, and often successful at it.

    huh?

    It wasn't long ago there were cries for Cedeno over Theriot who was slumping. Cedeno has never shown he can hit ML pitching, Theriot and Fontenot have, keep Cedeno on the bench. I have not faith in him personally. I hope I'm wrong, but I think he's a AAAA player.

    Can't be hot all the time. Still though, I have no idea how Jones didn't score. That was a dribbler up the middle, I turned to my wife and said we're winning...

    Under 2 do not need a ticket. From a reasonable standpoint, I personally would not bring a baby to the bleachers, particularly for a day game, too much sun.

    Not too many pitches

    You have to take a lot in account in the Cedeno v. Theriot argument. On one hand, you have a 27-yo college experienced guy, on the other there's a 24-yo raw player. Theriot hasn't hit well recently and has a low .600s OPS since the 3rd week of the season. Ironically, very similar to what Cedeno did last year. There's a much better chance that Ronny improves than Theriot, simply because age and talent are on his side. Defensively, there's no signs to point to Cedeno ever being as bad as he was last year. Theriot is definitely more sure handed of the two, but range and arm go decidedly in Cedeno's favor. That being said, if Izturis is still gonna get the ABs at SS, then Theriot is the better option to start occassionally and pinch hit. But once the Cubs decide the Izturis experiment is over, then Cedeno should be handed the SS job. I guess. However it depends on what your objectives are right now. We all know way too well that there are no guarantees that Cedeno will ever succeed at the ML level. Theriot has not had a great 4, 5, 6 weeks, but watching and going to the games Theriot consistently still hits to the opposite field, gets the bat on the ball, gets deep into the counts etc. If you want to try and win this year, as bad as it's been, that is not a move I think is wise.

    We are talking about the same Cedeno right? I'll take Theriot. Cedeno's approach to hitting has been awful. Statistically in the minor leagues Theriot and Cedeno have identical OPS. Theriot hits for more average and gets on base more, Cedeno has a little more power. Major League stats in their brief ML careers there is no comparison whatsoever. Some guys don't hit ML pitching well, Theriot, regardless of his last 2 months has shown he has the discipline and approach that works. He does the right thinks more often than not, Cedeno to this point has not shown that. Running the bases? Theriot has been caught stealing 4 times in 28 attempts. Cedeno? 9 caught in 19 attempts!!. Oh and in the ML Theriot's fielding percentage is better at 2B and SS, and he also has been perfect in the few games he has played in the OF. Glad Cedeno has been tearing it up in AAA, but he should stay there for a while.

    yeah, gotta love how he forgot how to hit for power the moment he signed a contract with the cubs. What contract? http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/Niner74/sorianocash4.jpg Did you say he made contact?
  11. dbeider
    You mean... it gets worse? I guess Beltran had a disappointing first year in NY
  12. dbeider
    Seriously will Soriano or Lee crack 10 HR's this year?
  13. dbeider
    Lee too And Barrett
  14. dbeider
    Lee too
  15. dbeider
    DeRosa has proven he should play every day. Theriot simply has not whatsoever. His average is down to .273, his OBP is proabbly under .340 now, and he has no power. Really? I couldn't tell by the 2 plays he made today, the way he will go to the opposite field, has speed and has hit better at every level he has moved to during his professional career. Not every player on the team needs power, in particular if the guys who are supposed to have it show it. Theriot gets on base almost every day somehow. He has been "slumping" a bit lately, but he has earned the right to play.

    Do we really want a firesale? Really? I think this is a pretty average team. We're still in the race. We're probably going to be in the race the entire year. The team that wins the division is going to be the one that gets hot in the end. As unimpressive as we are, that could be us. I'm not talking about a firesale, but something that gets these guys to recognize that if they don't play well, they don't play. Get rid of Eyre, Jones and Izturis to start. They lose nothing. Bring up Pie, Fontenot (or is he still up?) and Cotts (or Rapada). Hope to light a spark that gets them hot
  17. dbeider
    Fox has always hit and is at .349 this year again. He may be a butcher, but wasn't Piazza?
  18. dbeider
    Ha ha. This is great. At some point it has to be it right? He rides the pine for a week, comes in and blows a game they should have won, which would have been important to the team (1-0 wins always are) then gets scored on in 2 consecutive inning the next day again.
  19. dbeider
    I would like to see about 3-4 guys gone from this team in like a matter of a week. I thought they were working towards being a team of accountability. Seriously, Lee, Ramirez and Theriot are the only 3 players who have shown they deserve to play every day. I really would like to see Pie play every day. They need some energy very very badly.
  20. dbeider
    As bad as Barrett has been, I don't see any better options in our system or free agency. Why not Fox?
  21. dbeider
    With this team, making an absurd prediction that ends in the Cubs losing is has at least a decent chance of coming true
  22. dbeider
    Think Abercrombie just told the RF "they suck"
  23. dbeider
    Or rubbed
  24. dbeider
    Great, now they get to have salt rubben in by Pinto.
  25. dbeider
    no, because Soriano is the CF in that lineup, and the Cubs have decided that he's not playing CF any more. Right, my bad. Bring Pie back up!!! Even though he wasn't playing much, they played their best baseball with him up. I think his energy was helpful. What this is not is listless
