  1. Not sure if this was mentioed earlier... There are too many pages to sift through... But when Liter was pitching didn't it look as if he was cracking up and laughing? Especially when Maddux was trying to bunt?
  2. We've been saying that a lot lately unfortunately. :oops: He had a pretty good day yesterday. I'm talking about all of the base running blunders. And the almost amazing catch that went off of his glove in Hot-Lanta.

  4. What's impressive is that it all happened with two outs. Eeek... 4 runs a game Maddux goes tomorrow. Save some runs!
  5. Somebody remind Zambrano the correct way of sliding into second.
  6. Do you think he will get to keep the ball?
  7. They always say you will remember your first at bat........ It has a whole new meaning to Greenberg!
  8. Ramirez is a as brittle as a Lee Press on Nail.
  9. Who hits for the pitcher? I bet Henry Blanco... Knowing Dusty :P
  10. That should have happened when we were IN ATLANTA
  11. By the way, that is Hairston (a righty) who got the hit off of Mota to tie the game.
  12. The Cubs, meanwhile, continue to make senseless moves with no apparent direction. This team's problems appear to have been on the mound, with the injuries to Mark Prior and Kerry Wood and a shaky bullpen. At least that's what gets blamed. Sure, that hasn't helped. But this team's losing because of its offense, because despite having a guy batting .377 in the middle of the order and being a legit Triple Crown threat, there's nobody setting the table. As always, some random thoughts: • Patterson should never have been leading off in the first place, and that's Baker's fault. Who should have? Well, Jerry Hairston Jr., for as woefully average as he might be, does have a .367 on-base percentage. He walks a bit, and unlike Patterson, doesn't strike out. As a team, the Cubs have a .312 on-base percentage in the leadoff spot, and that stinks. In the NL, only the Marlins and Mets are worse, and when Juan Pierre starts to hit, Florida will score more runs. The Mets have realized the error of their Jose Reyes ways (and nobody's sending him to the minors, despite his age). Hairston, in 36 games leading off, has a .384 OBP there. Just play him every day and lead him off. It appears that will happen now, but in center field. I would have chosen left field, now that Todd Walker is back to man second.
  13. ESPN this weekend!
  14. Last night on Baseball Tonight Peter Gammons stated that before Felix Pie hurt his ankle, the Cubs were just about to call him up to start in center because they were in such a need for an offensive spark in the lead off position.

  16. Uh, he doesn't want to play OF (He rejected playing it in Texas) and likely doesn't want to leadoff. We already have two 2B why would we need a third one with a crappy attitude Actually that's not true at all. He didn't want to bat fifth in the line up and said that he would rather be a lead off hitter than a five hole hitter.
  17. Per the Tribune: "The fans at Wrigley Field have cut Patterson little slack, unlike most young players coming up with the Cubs. The harsh reception is likely to make Patterson consider leaving the organization when he becomes a free agent after the 2007 season, unless things change drastically in the next two years. "One thing, he'll probably get really thick skin at the end of his career here," Baker said. "
