  1. Should that happen and Marquis gets a start someone should tell him Young can't hit a breaking ball.
  2. What a fantastic job by Lee, takes the pitch put on tee then hits a feeble grounder, AWESOME!!!!!
  3. While Marquis sucks, Petit is worse, saw him last week, he's terrible - there's no reason the Cubs shouldn't pound this clown.
  4. Raise your hand if you knew after that miracle top of the first, Marquis was going to give all it back and then some.
  5. He swung the bat pretty well yesterday. Since Lou always loves to play new guys as soon as they arrive, I'm betting the lineup looks like this... Theriot Jones Lee Ramirez Floyd Monroe DeRosa Kendall Won't be watching the first hour or so. Hopefully I can come back and see a Cubs lead. I think Monroe might PH today but I think he'll get his first start tomorrow against the lefty, Doug Davis. Theriot Jones Lee Ramirez Floyd DeRosa (Lou hates Murton and the GIDP didn't help I'm sure) Fontenot (2-4, RBI yesterday) Kendall Marshall ...is my guess That's what I'm thinking as well, by the way, I could go the remainder of the season without seeing Murton pinch hit again.
  6. It was frustrating watching them lose this game. Giants being the poor team that they are must be given the game to win - the Cubs sure did accommodate. You could feel that, knowing their chances were slim to none, they were hoping/praying for Zambrano to get himself in trouble.
  7. Owings looks to be a bigger threat with his bat than his arm, the Cubs should win this game.
  8. I don't know the source of CBS' line but, how in the Sam Hill are the Cubs underdogs today vs. the Cardinals?
  9. Teams have even taken to throwing fastballs right down the middle of the plate - How many times have we seen him take a fb placed on tee for strike 1 or 3?
  10. And of course, giving up a Grand Slam to Ryan Ludwick...
  11. Post of the day. Gotta win three of four. Totally agree. How can they be surging with that staff? It's the Cardinals, they could be surging with staff of Sidney Ponson, Shawn Estes and Micah Bowie. Sure does help to have that magic pixie dust up your ass.
  12. Jason Marquis really, really, really SUCKS!
  13. Watch the Brewers will make the playoffs and Braun will go dead cold as the Brewers get swept.
  14. Numnuts Lidge is unhittable vs the Cubs yet, can't pitch a scoreless inning vs the Brewers.
  15. I agree, but I hate when Caroll, or Gary Bennett hit huge homers against us. Freaking minor leaguers. What really burns me is the balls DeRosa and Jones hit were hit much harder than the crap.
  16. Its the Cubs hence, I'm expecting the worst - Ramirez done for the season - and hoping for the best.
  17. The Cubs seemingly suffer more injuries than an NFL team, unbelievable.
  18. I don't believe the budget constraints argument holds water, to the billionaire or billionaires who are going to purchase the Cubs a few extra million is a drop in the bucket. Its convenient, sounds nice but, rings hollow, I believe its more Hendry' inability to put together a solid team in first place. And after the first month or so of the season his not observing the Cubs were still a bat short.
  19. You're trying to use last night's game as an example that Jones cannot hit? The one he went 2 for 4 with a double and a walk? OK wrong example, basically there's no reason to start him CF over Pie, Pie may not hit better but, he's the superior defensive player and probably, base runner - those facts alone are reason enough to permanently remove Jones from CF.
  20. By the way Lou the Cubs are 32-16 when Pie plays, give him a shot.
  21. Please Lou, no more Jones, the man cannot hit, last night somewhere in the mid-innings Oswalt hung a breaking pitch over the middle of the plate. In other words, he put on tee and all Jones could do with it was pop out to SS, if that isn't vivid proof that Jones can no longer hit, I don't what is.
  22. Hey look we're halfway there already. Saw the call up in transactions,. thanks.
  23. Just wrote something about installing Pie as the everyday CF in today' Game Thread hopefully, it'll happen tonight. He may not out hit Jones/Pagan but, he's the superior defensive player that alone will help.
  24. In order to enhance the Cubs chances of making the playoffs, I believe Felix Pie must be the everyday CF. Its not because I'm assuming he'll out hit Jones but, its because of the facts that he's the superior defensive player and base runner. In no way shape or form will Jones offer anything helpful at least, with Pie, there's a good chance he'll keep a run or two from scoring. Call him up and put him lineup tonight!!!!!
  25. Well, I did get the answer to - What'll happen first a Cub hitting a HR or a Cub catcher throwing out a baserunner? So, another question - What'll happen first tonight Derek Lee swinging the bat or a Cub catcher throwing out a baserunner?
