CubinNY

I totally agree although I'm not a big fan of Bob. I am also getting tired of the constant rock n' roll stuff. They have really slipped this year, especially Len. It's almost like they are afraid to criticize anything. A lot of games I've turned the sound down and listened to XM even though it has about a 30 delay.

Yeah I dont get the move either. I don't know much about socer but to me this move seemed to be a symbol of the idiotic notion that experience is ALL that matters. It's right out of the old school manager's handbook. But like I said, I don't know a whole lot about socer.

It was bad, very bad.

I hate My Self Nirvana

I am so freaking sick and tired of this vertran fetish. Sean Marshall could easily pitch this bad. Lou is going to cost the Cubs the playoffs.

But it is blind faith...you're ignoring the numbers and other factors other than Lou's opinion. It's the definition of blind faith. And Lou has been riding the hot hand based on small sample sizes all season long. Even if Soto's just on a hot streak, and next season will just revert to being a crappy minor league catcher, why not ride out the hot streak? There's just no argument for this move that makes any sense. There isn't anything that Kendall does better than Soto. Other than be old. If a doctor gives me a diagnosis, even if he knows more than me about the field, that doesn't mean I can't go and educate myself about what he's told me, and determine if I agree with what he said. Not BLIND faith, but faith in an expert. If I relied on yyour analysis, that would be blind faith. No disrespect intended. None taken, but I still disagree with your definition. Main Entry: blind faith Part of Speech: n Definition: belief without true understanding, perception, or discrimination It says nothing about expert opinion. The fact is that you're taking what Lou believes at face value without any kind of discrimination. That's blind faith. Lawyer, Musician, Doctor, Insurance guy...whoever you consider an expert in their field...they make mistakes too. If I didn't do a critical analysis of advice that one of them gave me, I feel like I'd be making a mistake then. I want to know how lou is an expert? Is it because he gets paid? Or is it becuase he played baseball?

Baseball is the worst sort of fraternity immaginable. It is almost disfunctional, but the simplicity and beauty of the game always win out over petty human buffonary.

JR will be there I believe. He hasn't posted in a while but I can remember him posting that he had tickets. Look for the biggest truck or largest Cadilac.

It's true. Any team can win.. But the better teams always have a better shot going in, and I tend to think the Cubs are the best NL playoff team all around... I think the Mets are but they are playing like stink lately. It's a crapshoot, they just have to get in.

Random%20picture I don't get it? look at all the pictures in the thread and find the one that doesn't belong. I think O_O was quite funny.

Leaving in Marquis after the first inning. Oh and not starting Soto too.

I'm done.

It's not Marquis fault that Lou kept in him when he sucks. It is his fault for sucking though! soap drop the soap dropping soap drop

alright Cliffy! Do your job Aramis. No ground balls please.

Lee is going deep here.

I hate the Marlins. I hate them more than the Cardinals.

somanombricthes. You are killing me lou, killing me.

Their bullpen is horrendus until the closer.

Me either. A little bit of top spin and the score is 5-4. At least he got a hit.

JJ!

I would have no problem if the good Marquis showed up. That's the thing, we know right away. When he's bad he's bad from inning one and usually lasts only a few. It's been his history for almost three years now. When he's good he has shut down stuff. He just cannot seem to harness his stuff.

GET HIM OUT NOW!

If the Cubs get a lead here Lou has to take out Marquis.

No it's not.
