    Just for sh**s and giggles I'd like to see Soriano not swing the bat leading off the first, I suspect he'd walk on 4-6 pitches. I'm pretty certain I know what Chacon' approach to Soriano will be - slider low and away, followed by another, and another, and another...

    Owned by an average pitcher' average pitcher, throwing every pitch in same location for every hitter - away, away. The only time he came in was the mistake to Ramirez, he doesn't even come in for show.

    Just saw the replay of Ludwick' HR, talk about cheap, that's the very definition of cheap then again, that's the Cardinal' MO smoke and mirrors.

    Ramirez and Lee are what? A combined 0-16? I can't believe thats going to continue, one or both of them is going to break out tomorrow, Cubs will score 6+ runs and win.

    I just love it when the oppositions pull catches out their asses like Nady has today.

    Given that Maddux has tough time holding runners close that may not be bad.

    I'd make a deal with the devil to see the Cubs win a WS in my lifetime.

    As I understand it he's cleared waivers therefore, no team has put in a claim meaning all Hendry has to offer is the league minimum.

    I'm trying to stay positive, if Pie' not going to play everyday with the Cubs, he might as well play everyday with the Iowa Cubs - work on pitch selection. The worst case scenario - Edmonds craps the bed, he's gone, Pie back up, the best case - the Cubs get a hot few months out of Edmonds making the lineup that more formidable. I don't agree with the signing either, I would have had Pie in the lineup everyday from day one but, that's not going to happen and useless to lament it.

    Featuring the Meat-Normous sandwhich.

    Indeed. He'd be a terrible pick up at this point in his career. I hope this is more speculation than sourced material. Where's Bruce Miles? I fear it's much more likely that Edmonds will be our Jason Kendall v2.0 as opposed to mere speculation. Hopefully there are similar results in a prospect pushing him out of the picture later in the year. I believe this may the case as well, at least Pie will get regular playing time at Iowa, he can work on lying off the eye high fastballs and in-the-dirt breaking balls. And when Edmonds inevitably craps out, Pie will ready to take over.

    Vs. a soft-tossing lefty the night after a blowout usually means we'll score about 2 runs. Against those free swinging Cubs of Dusty yes but, this Cub team appears to have an idea that showing some plate discipline pays off. Being so, I believe they'll wait out Estes, draw some BB's and score some runs.
  13. gflore34
    I gotta agree, this game is way, way, over, great base running there Johnson, quality.
  14. gflore34
    He, along with Rich Hill, should have known that prior to the NLDS last year.
  15. gflore34
    We have the highest run differential this year out of all teams. I meant last year. That just annoyed me for some reason. Cubs out scored them 19-18 yet, managed to lose 4 of 6...
  16. gflore34
    Lohse' line from his last two starts: 0-2 W-L, 10 IP, 17 H, 15 ER, 7 BB, 4 K - I think he just realize he sucks, won't be long before Wellemeyer follows suit.
  17. gflore34
    Dunn and Votto have a combined 11 HRs, 6 vs. the Cubs, isn't it about time one or the other were brushed back?
  18. gflore34
    Not really. We aren't getting any calls or any breaks. We aren't scoring many runs either, in most games. The offense looks good because we explode in some games, but then like yesterday, it's struggle struggle struggle. It's weird. I'm not sure if we can call it feast or famine, because the team is still getting on base at a decent clip. It's just not getting that key hit. So bizarre that we've loaded the bases in I think 18 straight games, but we are having trouble scoring runs. At least were getting on base. It's only a matter of time before we make another run. Seconded, if this team maintains its approach at the plate they're going to continue to get base runners eventually Lee, Ramirez and company will start driving them in.
  19. gflore34
    I bet we win one. Maybe. We're gonna get swept. By a team with exactly one legitimate hitter in their lineup, unbelievable.
  20. gflore34
    I don't believe there's an OF left on the bench, is there? Because, Soriano needs to be benched now.
  21. gflore34
    Will Soriano every do anything good with a RISP EVER
  22. gflore34
    Wow, what a potentially crushing blow to Brewers, if I were a Brewer fan I'd be very worried about Sheets as well. A pitcher with good control like Sheets usually doesn't issue as many BB's as he did Tuesday night unless somethings wrong. If still cannot consistently find the plate during his next few starts I suspect the trip to the DL isn't far behind.
  23. gflore34
    The Cards have proven they can win in the past with less talent, where Baker has proven he can screw up a team with more talent. I am becoming more worried about them with every passing day. Still expect them to have a rough stretch soon enough though that will put them back too far. Steve Stone mentioned that pitchers are usually ahead of the hitters in April, once the weather becomes consistently warmer I believe the "magic" of Dave Duncan will wear off. Wellemeyer, Lohse, Looper will all come back down to Earth.

    Outside of Sheets/Gallardo, the Brewers don't have the pitching talent to win the division by 5 games (as of right now, neither does the Cubs). IMO, the Brewers bullpen will cost the Brewers alot of games this yr. The Brewers still look like a 85-87 win team, but a team the Cubs should outlast for the division. Additionally the Brewers are pinning their hopes on Mark Prior North - Ben Sheets - we know how well that worked out for the Cubs staff in 2004-06. Those 7 BB's that Sheets issued Monday night have to worry the Brewers, remember when we thought Prior was "back" in '06 yet, he couldn't consistently find the strike zone?

    It's nice to see cueto get lit up early by a terrible team Yes it is, nice to see Dusty up to his old tricks with rookies, Votto has a bad game (0-4 last night) and is benched for the punch-less Hatteberg.
