    Then you haven't been watching Lou for the past 1 1/2. Pie is the rule. Theriot is only playing b/c there is no one else Lou is comfortable with (read, no vet). Barrett was a very dumb baseball payers and an even worse defensive catcher, Soto has produced. And even then it took them almost an entire year of Koye Hill and Rob Bowen to give him a shot. With Lou, if you're a first or second year player you better produce right away and you better not make any mistakes because you only get one shot. He's as old school as they come. The difference between Dusty and Lou is that Lou lives in a reality based world and Dusty doesn't.

    I mentioned this is in another thread about the importance of outcome. Playing players out of position because they are "versatile" may seem like a good idea on the surface but it will sometimes result in poor play. Eric Patterson is NOT an outfielder, he's a 2nd baseman. His problems are a result of playing a position his is not suited for. People shouldn't get made at Eric, they should get mad at Lou. I think Lou now knows that Patterson isn't a LFer, at least not yet. He still has time to learn.

    I just drove home from work. While driving I was listening to the Sox feed with Farmer and Stone. Now that I'm watching Bob, I really miss Stone. He's simply better than Bob. It's really no comparison.

    Actually, this series is part of that 10-game road trip. After this series they will have 7 games on the road. Was it over when the German bombed Pearl Harbor?!

    Indeed and any other prospect as well. Gallagher, "The Shark", Veal, Pie, Murton, Patterson, Colvin, Rhee, let them take their pick of any two or three.

    F the sox, GO CUBS! 10 day road trip after this series. This is where the Cubs demoralize the division rivals or let them back in it.

    Rose is a good kid. I am happy for him. Hopefully he's a good professional basketball player too.

    2007 Cubs +62 2007 DBacks -20 The Brewers don't have the benefit of playing in the NL west. Or having a lights out late inning relieving corps.

    I bet he was thinking, "Hey, Lou! Stop smacking your lips so much!" :D

    It's a terrible piece of garbage. A lot of players don't want to know. Those that do can't hit the ball if it is located. What a load of crap. How about all the other teams that win at home?

    I still like EPat for 2nd base. DeRosa ain't cutting the mustard. Last 7 days .111 .238 .111 .349 Last 14 days .195 .283 .195 .478 Last 28 days .221 .299 .390 .688

    I still like him for 2nd base.

    Lou is hard headed but not dumb. This move should have been made after Spring Training.

    I wonder how much the running off at the mouth by the Sox has affect the Cubs. They sure do seem intent on making a statement

    Yep. The Cardinals are outperforming their predicted adjusted record by 5.7 wins and 'should be' a .500 team. Though, the Cubs are also a bit 'lucky' and should be 3.3 games worse than they currently are. The whole NL Central is outplaying its numbers. NL Central Current Predicted Standings w/ (AE)RS/(AE)RA (above/below actual record difference) Cubs 46-29 (+3.3) Cardinals 38-38 (+5.7) Brewers 37-37 (+2.7) Reds 35-41 (0.0) Astros 34-41 (+0.5) Pirates 30-45 (+5.8) I've written it before but it bears repeating. The correlations you are reporting have extremely low predictive value with such small sample sizes. What the Cubs or any other team "should" do is what they have done to this point. Pyth. record as statistic has @.03 correlation to actual wins until around 120 games. Edit: That's not to say that having a + sized run differential isn't a good thing, because it is. The bigger the better.

    Because they might be WS contenders if they get him. They are like 19-6 over their last 25 games. Also, I don't think they will have to trade away all their talent. Their system is loaded and they have good young ballplayers at the ML level. They could trade Weeks or Hall too.

    That was the funniest thing I've read on here in a long time. Well done.

    Interesting to see how that impacts the roster moves. You have Marshall and Ward ready to come up in the next 3-4 days. If Reed goes to the DL, what's the other roster move? It will be interesting to see if they feel that Patterson needs to be up, or do they keep Hoffpauir and feel comfortable with Fukudome and Cedeno as the two backups in CF to a slightly injured Jim Edmonds. Would they consider Pie? Should they? With Edmonds he's kind of superfluous, but Lou likes him some defense in the late innings.
  20. CubinNY
    It is. Thus making this one of my new favorite pictures. It's my desk top.
  21. CubinNY
    They are busting him inside but he's not swinging unless he's down in the count. He's a smart baseball player (always has been), I'm sure he knows his limitations.
  22. CubinNY
    And who sets his own pitch counts?And has a bad back.
  23. CubinNY
    I wasn't against the signing because he was Jim Edmonds. I was against the signing because he is a washed up baseball payer. I will say that Hendry rolled a seven though. Even if he does nothing to help the Cubs for the rest of the season he's earned the league minimum that the Cubs are paying him. Put 1 in the Hendry column.
  24. CubinNY
    Low ball him/her. Give him/her $500 over blue book. Tell them it is your best and walk away. If they want to sell it they will. Go Cubs.

    Pretty damn good. I think the maintaining variables might be different than what caused the initial problems. Perhaps changing Hills mechanics was the major cause of his problems at the onset. However, I have a hard time believe that those changes are maintaining the problem. I think it is partially "mental" but mostly physical. I have no idea how to correct those problems.
