  1. I could see Soto putting up a line like 265/325/375 (700 OPS), which would be just fine for a more defensive-minded catcher who hits eighth every night.
  2. gotta love it... cubs take a guy who put up a .365 OBP and an OPS over 800 in essentially his rookie year and make him a platoon player, tearing down his confidence. This Floyd signing was and will continue to be a complete disaster.
  3. 322/395/537/932 now... i'd really like to see him on the big club next year. If he continues to languish in the minors with nothing left to prove, it'll be yet another failure of the jim hendry era.
  4. This sounds like something you'd hear in a business meeting about Global Integrated Business Solutions. You were at that meeting too? :P no, but i will watch the U.S. Open this weekend, and hear plenty of meaningless business catch phrases!

  6. i loved the minor league threads last year on rich hill days... and abuck's sarcastic, bitter posts after every 7 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 13 K performance. By the end everyone was ripping on the cubs for having rusch up and hill down in a lost season. He was Rich Hill's biggest supporter, which makes this an easy choice for me.
  7. get us a better team to root for.
  8. Yeah DFA Ohman when the completely unuseable Scott Eyre is still on the bench. Wonderful idea. And let's pin all the blame on Ohman after the wonderful job that Theriot, Pie and Fontenot did of not knocking in a single run when the cubs had a bases loaded, no out situation in the 8th. The team gave up 5 runs in 13 innings, that's not terrible at all. As usual the offense was a steaming pile of crap and didn't put runs on the board (basically, two runs per nine innings against average pitching). But yeah, it's all Ohman's fault.
  9. no, that team actually won more games than they lost, plus they bunched most of their chokes up toward the end of the year. this team knew how to choke from day one.
  10. not rich's best game, but the M's offense had been hot and Rich battled the whole way. And for a lot of teams, 3 ER allowed in 6.2 IP would be enough to get a win a good portion of the time... for the Cubs, it's a miracle if you don't get tagged with the loss.
  11. Having Heart isn't the problem, it's lacking the skills to close out games...They are battling on a daily basis. Then I guess I should say a team that has tons of heart but sucks. enough talent to win, but just enough cubness to find a way to lose
  12. i like a .200 IsoD from a middle infielder... wonder if eric might hit 20 homers this year
  13. i'm glad i "overdrafted" him in the nsbb league
  14. please don't say that ever again
  15. thankfully i have emotionally distanced myself from this sad-sack bunch of chokers. honestly, anybody who believed that the cubs would still win after blowing that bases loaded, no out situation should be ashamed of their naivete.
  16. c'mon, you guys didn't think pie and jones were BOTH gonna get hits off a lefty, did you?
  17. Pie with the imposing .316 OPS against lefties
  18. wow you really think he'll make contact? i'm going with "flails away at breaking ball"
  19. ump using magic 8 ball to call balls/strikes
