    Walk the WORLD!!!!!!!!!

    Don't understand the Jays approach they're playing Fukudome to hit the ball to left yet, throwing him sliders????
  3. gflore34
    Only against the Cardinals - Adam Eaton 2-2, Rollins, Victorino, and Utley a combined 0-10
  4. gflore34
    It'll be 4.5 after tonight - there's no reason the Phillies shouldn't smack the Cardinals again.

    The Cubs' best, it not even close
  6. gflore34
    Not starting every hitter 2-0 may be a contributing factor.

    Wells missing the diving attempt may have been the first time all year an opponent didn't make such a catch - when attempting.

    Dl'ed or not his injury is going to linger the remainder of the season, from what I understand leg injuries require rest to fully heal. It'll be impossible for Pujols to get the proper rest during the season and when you factor in he's 40+ years old (it's a joke)...

    He blew his wad vs. the Cubs, that was a once in lifetime performance.

    The always scintillating walk off HBP - I'll take it!!!!!

    Not even for chance at a WS Championship in the unique position the Cubs are in? Barry Bonds swallows some personal pride, keeps Soriano' spot warm, along the way helps the Cubs to 100+ wins and hits several big WS HR's as the Cubs win. Should this happen do think anyone' going to remember or care that he may cheated?
  12. gflore34
    I agree, but if thats really the case. If we still win 63% of our games, where does the benefit of having Soriano fit in? If we 'don't miss a beat' with him out for 1/6 of the season, why would we ever miss him? I think we will play slightly over .500 ball for his time out. 6 weeks from today would be 35 games missed (luckily there are 4 off days and the All Star break during those 6 weeks meaning that literally 1 of those 6 weeks will not contain baseball). I think we go something like 19-16 during those 35 games, leaving us with a 61-40 record when he returns. Which should be enough to have the Cubs up by 8+ games, to match it the Cards would have to go 21-13 without Pujols and Wainwright for a significant amount of those games - the greatness of Ludwick, Schumaker, Ryan and journey man/career minor leaguer pitcher X not withstanding - this isn't going to happen.

    I know its Sutcliffe but, last night, he made some sense about Boston being a possible destination for Bonds, with Big Papi being out Bonds could slide right into the DH. I'm certain Bonds is at the point in his career where the only thing that matters is a WS ring being so, Boston and the Cubs appear to be logical destinations. The question is do you want to be part of a third Boston WS win in 5 years or part of 100 year ending drought for the Cubs along with it quite possibly overshadowing you're suspected performance enhancer use?
  14. gflore34
    The difference is...the Cubs have the depth to cover for Soriano, whereas the lack of talent for the Cards will eventually show up. I expect the Cubs to pick up at least 4 games while Pujols is on the DL. Fixed
  15. gflore34
    Is it me or is ESPN almost giddy that Soriano got hurt tonight? What's with Sutcliffe and all that devastating nonsense? Sure the Braves losing Smoltz for the season is a devastating blow but, I don't think Soriano being out 6-8 weeks is comparable.
  16. gflore34
    Hoff is eligible to come back Friday right? and Thursday is an off day, right? I have a feeling there will be a roster move and Fontenot's playing time will only see a marginal increase. I hope so. We'll see, I guess. Lou did mention bringing up a couple of "kids" from Iowa to Erin Andrews after the game.
  17. gflore34
    The ironic point of Soriano missing any time is there's a good chance it'll improve the Cub lineup. Be it Hoffpauir or Murton they'll bring more OBP to the lineup and it certainly won't hurt.

    Exactly, deals including multiple players such as Pie, Patterson, Gallagher, etc. for Sabathia (or Harden for that matter) aren't realistic, it's not going to cost that much to rent CC. I believe Hendry, for all his short comings, knowns this.
  19. gflore34
    I'm looking for two of Lee, Kosuke or Soto to break out of their recent funks.

    Beyond the Cubs winning and Wood overmatching the Dodgers, my favorite part of the game was Ramirez forcing Pierre at 3B in the 8th.
  21. gflore34
    We're not going to keep up this torrid pace at home. The Cubs are going to have to get their heads out of their asses but soon on the road. Seconded, maybe, just, maybe the Cubs will play like the best team in the NL and beat the crap that is the Dodgers, who knows, perhaps, the Cubs will get a few gifts from the Umpires as well. They're certainly due to catch a few breaks, I've had enough of the Dodgers beating the Cubs with seeing eye and bloop singles, missed calls, etc.
  22. gflore34
    Hard to believe the Cards are only 3 games in back of us. It sure is, I'm certain, at some point, the clock will strike midnight on those Cardinals.
  23. gflore34
    Check out the game 1 lineups of the Cardinals and Nationals, which is worse?
  24. gflore34
    I can live with giving up a HR to Helton but, I can't live with allowing weak hitters like Taveras to get on base.
  25. gflore34
    The 1985 Cubs were 35-19 at this point and finished 77-84. The 1969 Cubs were 37-17 at this point and finished 92-70. I think there's a real good chance the '85 Cubs would have fared much better had all 5 starters not gone down at one point, I distinctly remember Rick Sutcliffe pulling his hammy trying to beat out a grounder.
