  1. well this is probably true. a good hitter could get the bat through and line it up the middle or take it to right. derrek really isn't a good hitter any more and his bat is slow, so he'd probably just get around to slow and whiff. same result i suppose.
  2. the ump rang up hardy on a pitch that missed by a foot. if the strike zone is that inconsistent you're really rolling the dice by letting a pitch go that misses the outside corner by 3 inches. Hardy's was a borderline pitch, but it's on a different plane. You have to take that, it was well outside and again, nothing has been called out there all day. If he swings everyone gets pissed at Lee for popping up to the right side or rolling into a double play. hardy's wasn't even close, it was low and outside. lee's pitch was much closer to being a strike than hardy's.

  4. swing the bat. i wish lee had saved his really awesome year for when the cubs were relevant, like now.
  5. hey pal, the brewers announcers just told me that he's made himself a good outfielder - he didn't have any errors last season.
  6. That wasnt Theriots fault, thats on Soriano koyie hill has cost the cubs 2 runs by not knocking in theriot both times he was on base.
  7. for not catching a routine fly to left? He called off soriano. Granted, it would have been a bit of a stretch for sori but there is no way he should have been calling for that. why not? soriano wasn't getting there. it's soriano's fault for apparently getting a horrible break on the ball.
  8. how the hell did hill hit .400 in arizona? was he facing little league pitchers?
  9. i'll be honest, when someone hits a ball to left against the brewers, i always feel some hope that braun will completely misjudge it and it'll go for a triple.
  10. coming saturday, paul sullivan's article on how milton bradley is selfish because of how many runners he hasn't knocked in and now he goes and hits a solo homer.
  11. the only time it'll be nice to see bruce froemming is at his wake.
  12. Geez, I don't even know if he's average anymore. Maybe as an overall player, but as a first baseman? yeah maybe mediocre was the more fitting word.
  13. ugh now the brewers are pimping out their harley davidson restaurant. watching these visiting announcers is raping my soul.
  14. lee has slammed his bat down 3 or 4 times already this season. i guess he's still not used to being average.
  15. these brewers announcers said harden isn't going to walk you, he only walked 30 in 71 innings with the cubs, so you have to go up there and be aggressive. 30 in 71 innings? that's not great.
  16. they say that every year, and every year i think he looks bigger. he's really only 195. he just wears big clothes. he shops in the "husky" section.
  17. what's the rule for sac bunts? it seems like hart was going for a hit there.
