    I share your opinion of Parker, I'd rather the Cubs go offense be it Wieters, Vitters or Moustakas.

    I don't believe their 15-9 record with Pie in the lineup is a coincidence, no question they're a better team with him in the lineup. Do you believe he's going to remain in CF - including vs a LHP - for the rest of the season?

    They don't play baseball like that now. It's really too bad. With his slow trot and all, what do think someone like Gibson, Drysdale or Jenkins would have done to Fielder?
  4. gflore34
    You know there's nothing bad about brushing a guy back once in a while, I'd love see someone brush Fielder off plate. He's getting way too comfortable at the plate.

    From About.com: Definition: A knee sprain means that you have injured one of the ligaments around the knee joint. Grrrrrrreat!!!!!!

    Why is it every time things appear to headed in a positive direction, some BS crap like Ramirez getting injured happens? Every bloody time!!!!!!!
  7. gflore34
    With Pie performing well the Cubs combination of speed and power 1-4 just may be the best in the NL.

    Barring injury and an occasional day off I believe 1-4 is set for the remainder of the season however, 5-8... Yeah, we're gonna end up losing games just to try and trade a guy nobody wants. The more he is played the less his trade value is going to be. That is what is really sad. Maybe Floyd aggrevated his Rib thing. He lunged pretty well to make that catch in 4th or 5th yesterday, didn't seem to hinder him as he later singled and homered.

    The offense is starting to click, they'll be good for at least 5 runs, so, it boils down to Zambrano' performance. If he gives the Cubs a QS they'll win, if not, they may still win but, probably not.
  11. gflore34
    I wrote yesterday that a 1-4 of Soriano, Pie, Lee and Ramirez may start to click, thus far, 17 runs have been scored. If the Cubs put 5+ tonight, can we call a trend?
  12. gflore34
    He's finally surpassed Slappy in the RBI department 13 - 17 (technically, it was Sunday), only took him 2+ months to do it!!!!!
  13. gflore34
    The Cubs are babies if true. Nut up, and start playing baseball. Exactly, they can't handle the Manager letting them know they're not doing their jobs well and holding them to higher standard/accountable? Come, on...

    Speaking of Lou's suspension, there's something I don't understand: it's wrong for a Manager or Player to touch an Umpire but, it's OK for an Umpire to make contact with a Manager or Player? Such as the Umpire who was pushing Lou away from Wagner?
  15. gflore34
    I expect Pie to be in the line-up today. Hitting 2nd, 8th, doesn't matter. Just in the line-up. This quite probably is foolish optimism on my part but, I believe a 1-4 of Soriano, Pie, Lee and Ramirez is going to start clicking. Such a 1-4 just seems like the right combination.
  16. gflore34
    I count at least 5 balls that were set a tee and taken by the Cubs. And then we swing at the FB at out heads. How does someone like James go 11-4 since last August? Has absolutely nothing, no exceptional pitch nor move movement on anything, control is weak to poor, it's unbelievable.

    You know you're talking about the same guy who gave Jones a 3-year contract, right? Or the guy who gave Howry and Eyre big contracts? Or Soriano's insane contract? Speaking of Soriano, and looking forward to his K this inning, will ever do more than K and misplay balls in LF? Ever?
  19. gflore34
    I have to believe Jones is going to be the first casualty even a complete moron, such as Hendry, must see his worthlessness.
  20. gflore34
    Why do I have the feeling that despite it being overtly obvious moves need to be made, Hendry' going to sit on his hands and wait it out? At the very least, these are moves that should be made: 1. Dump Jones, bring up Pie, put him in CF for the rest of season. 2. Dump Erye, bring up Carmen Pignietello or Clay Rapada 3. Dump Barrett, bring up Soto and go with him and Hill until Blanco comes off the DL These three moves would improve the team furthermore, if Hendry has any thoughts at all about saving his job and face, something must be done.
  21. gflore34
    The nonsense of Zambrano aside, today was exhibit A of Barrett' Baseball stupidity and defensive ineptitude, picked off again, passed ball, throwing error.
  22. gflore34
    Absolutely unacceptable. Z's days as a Cub are clearly numbered. As this point, I'd like to see him shipped to first taker for some prospects and Guzman moved into the rotation. Barrett, on the other hand, I'd take a bucket of baseballs for him - used even.
  23. gflore34
    Juan Pierre, yes Juan Pierre, has more RBI's-13-than Soriano, words don't describe...
  24. gflore34
    The opposition grounding into DP's with two on and nobody out? I've seen everything now!!!
  25. gflore34
    But Jones is significantly older than Pie, so how can Jones not be the best option? If it Busty managing I'd grant you that but, I think Lou is reaching the end of patience with Jones.
