What Happened between the Ump and the Cubs Yesterday?
TruffleShuffle replied to Outshined_One's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
i would just like to say that strike two to fontenot in the 7th inning was several inches outside of ball four to matt kemp in the fourth inning. dunno if davidson was doing that on purpose, but his strike zone was lousy last night. -
holy crap, dude, lighten up. can't, meatballs are heavy.
-
no, we will probably just try another useless retread out in CF despite the fact that every other team in baseball has figured out that the guy has nothing left.
-
no, that's wrong. he has been worse than if the cubs had continued to play mostly reed johnson with a sprinkling of felix pie. so, ignoring the idea that his signing has taken developmental time away from felix pie, he has also been a detriment to the overall performance of the baseball team.
-
this was really dumb.
-
No, it was no risk, no potential. Forget about what Jim Edmonds used to be. it's like signing babe ruth's corpse. he used to be great but if you wheel him out to home plate, he's not going to do anything for you. same with edmonds; all you've done is give at bats to a guy who had already proven in his performance elsewhere that he had nothing left. edmonds hasn't been pretty bad, he's been a detriment to the team. actually nobody complained about picking a coke head in the rule V draft and only morons complained about trading him to cincy.
-
it's certainly possible, especially if cueto can keep the ball in the park (his numbers are otherwise very solid), volquez keeps pitching well, harang is harang and arroyo is a solid #3 or #4. plus if bruce has a seamless transition to the majors, dusty will be more inclined to play him (though bruce's plate discipline could result in some problems once major league pitchers adjust). On paper they're probably just as good as the brewers without gallardo and a respectable closer.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 5-27-2008
TruffleShuffle replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
it seems that someone has gotten in colvin's ear and told him that he won't become a decent big league ballplayer without learning some plate discipline... that's an encouraging sign. -
why, because he hasn't hit in a handful of games? trust me, he'll be gone soon and he won't have caused even a particle of the damage that any of the guys you named did. i've heard of meatball hate, but this is ridiculous. actually it's ridiculous to keep calling people "meatballs." you supported the signing of edmonds; time to take your medicine.
-
congrats to sean on the national tv win... glad the cobs were able to come through in the 7th and get some runs for him.
-
cueto threw 118 pitches in 5 innings tonight. he threw 114 pitches in 5 innings his last outing. fannnnnnnntastic.
-
who is the more miserable old fart, lasorda or whitey herzog?
-
if sutcliffe were the lead analyst, i think the site might be known as "fire rick sutcliffe." good Lord is he awful.
-
yeah i am pretty sure that unless someone goes glenallen hill on a ball, there will not be any home runs tonight.
-
their GM is ned colletti; that's very unlucky if you're a dodger fan.
-
Lou Pinella, What the hell are you doing?
TruffleShuffle replied to Keener98's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
edmonds on the 25-man roster is dumb enough; batting him 6th is pretty much insane. -
yeah move everyone to the left side and move the outfielders in by 100 feet.
-
yeah the cubs are very different than the red sox, a legitimately good offense that has posted exactly 5.11 runs in every ballgame this season.
-
chin-lung hu reminds me of mr miyagi.

that's what she gets for not giving her folks at least four hours notice.

The DSL is About to Get Started
TruffleShuffle replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
any guys that i should be particularly uninterested in? the cub minor league system has plenty of those but i am willing to follow some others. -
that's why we have edmonds; pie can't make those sorts of catches.
