  1. At first glance, one could mistake Floyd' CBS Sportsline Game Center picture for Neifi...
  2. Why do get the feeling that if Soriano' on any other team in Baseball he has at least 1 HR by now? Watch, it's going to take him a month+ to get going by which time the Cubs will be in a big hole.
  3. Hold on second, did the Cubs actually pitch a scoreless first inning at home? When was the last time that happened? 2003?
  4. I'm as fustrated as anyone however, realtive to last season there is far too much quality in this lineup. They're, to borrow a term from Hockey, gonna get her going, its not like were talking of a lineup with Slappy and Perez hitting 1&2 along with whatever crap Dusty decided to pencil in at 1B. I still believe 1-7 this is the best lineup in the NL Central, they'll bare it out.
  5. The saving grace is Piniella won't continue to find reasons to play Isturis as the great Dusty would have. We'll see the Riot before long...
  6. I'm calling another Izturis boot to prolong the inning.
  7. well here' s the thing about the pepsi machine....he won't swing at bad pitches, but when he gets on base he really clogs them up....so its a wash Think about trying to cover 2b with the Pepsi machine bearing down on you.
  8. That's OK if you get rid of ball quickly ala David Eckstein.
  9. The Pepsi machine could play SS better than Izturis and, probably get on just as often.
  10. ...but its not OK to pitch to him with opposing runners on, most especially balls anywhere near the dirt.
  11. Marquis perhaps headed for another quality start? I gotta think if the Cubs continue to get QS they're going win some ballgames. Of course, at the moment, it appears the QS must be of shutout/no hit/perfect game variety.
  12. Carlos Lee, one of two people I'd like to see brushed off the plate, the other is Adam Dunn.
  13. I still don't understand the utility of having him assigned to Iowa when there's something wrong. Why not admit there's something wrong and take the steps to repair it and try for 2008?
  14. I don't, Eyre made a bad pitch, I'd take a match up with garbage like Counsell anyday of the week.
  15. Nothing's more frustrating than seeing the very definition of medicore crap, Counsell, go 3-5 while getting the biggest hit of the game.
  16. You know you're having a bad day when medicore players like Counsel and Miller are hitting you hard. Seems like Capuano approach is away, away, inside for show, away, away - not too hard to figure out.
  17. After the opening day flop they have played quite well. I may be drinking too much Cub koolaid today but, I see the makings of a pretty good team, one capable of running away with the NL Central.
  18. Forgive me for being picking but, shouldn't a game thread have a score once in a while? I know the handed one to the Reds today, was the final 4-2?
  19. Reds 3, Cubs 2 in the bottom of the eighth. Soriano will lead off the ninth. Thank you.
  20. Reds 4,432 Cubs 0 At least that is what you could assume by simpy reading this. I was think more along the lines of Reds: 4 * 10(to the 10th) Cubs: -infinity Where's Fred?
  21. Power? CBS Game Center is showning Ramirez with season stat of 25 HR! No, it's not. It was towards the right above the the count, etc. of course, I may have mis-read.
  22. Power? CBS Game Center is showning Ramirez with season stat of 25 HR! Whoops, make that 15 HR...
  23. It'll be interesting to see what actions Lou will or won't take if Izturis makes a habit of swinging at the first pitch (and hitting a weak gb) after the no. 7 hitter has drawn a walk. Will he make lame excuses for him ala Dusty? Or, will he bench Izturis?
  24. On one hand I didn't mind seeing UF win, OSU's luck finally ran out, I'm not denying their talent but, if not for a few lucky breaks and a non-call OSU' doesn't get to the FF. On other hand, I would have liked to see OSU win, with Oden being name the MOP thereby, giving him no cause whatsoever to stick around.
