    And lets not forget Ludwicks non catch the day before I believe all this will even out as the season goes and we'll be left the best team on top - the Cubs. Most if not all the statistics indicate the Cubs are the superior team take, for example, run differential Cubs +108, Cards +24, at the moment the Cards do have the better road record but, I believe the Cubs will soon eclipse them there as well.

    This gem from CBS Sportsline about Kazmir' upcoming start against the Cubs - Don't worry too much about Wednesday's loss against the Angels, one of baseball's best hitting teams. Kazmir should be back to his winning self in his next appearance against Ryan Dempster and the Cubs on Tuesday If a team hitting .256, with 290 runs, 59 HRs, .386 SLP and a .316 OBP is one of baseball best hitting teams what does that make the Cubs (.283, 380 runs, 75 HRs, .446 SLP, .361 OBP)?

    If it wasn't for a combined 7 BB's by Cubs pitchers today, the Jays wouldn't have sniffed a run.

    After all those blown calls in LA I'll take it.

    What was the difference between strike 2 to Lee and that curve ball Lilly threw that was called a ball?
  6. gflore34
    Theriot cannot consistently make the routine play.
  7. gflore34
    Why does nearly everything Litsch throws look extremely hittable and medicore yet, the Cubs are takinhg these pitches for strikes?
  8. gflore34
    The only way this Jays team is going to do any damage is if Lilly gives them the chance to do so by issuing BB's. If he throws strikes, they're not going to do much.

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

    Don't understand the Jays approach they're playing Fukudome to hit the ball to left yet, throwing him sliders????

    Only against the Cardinals - Adam Eaton 2-2, Rollins, Victorino, and Utley a combined 0-10
  12. gflore34
    It'll be 4.5 after tonight - there's no reason the Phillies shouldn't smack the Cardinals again.
  13. gflore34
    The Cubs' best, it not even close
  14. 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)...
  17. gflore34
    He blew his wad vs. the Cubs, that was a once in lifetime performance.
  18. gflore34
    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?
  20. 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?
  22. 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
  23. 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.

    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.
  25. 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.
