  1. As offensive as the shirts are, I think banning any article of clothing that doesn't jeopardize the safety of patrons from Wrigley would be a terrible precedent to set.
  2. Julio Zuleta did drive in runs with his mysticism though, and that doesn't show up in the stats.
  3. Lou is babying Rich. We have 12 guys in the pen, and Lieber and Marshall haven't done much recently, and Rich is a guy whose success is often related to his confidence. I'm not applauding the move but I certainly understand it. Yeah, while I don't totally like the move, it doesn't bother me at all. I don't really like Lieber in for only three batters though.
  4. I know I would choose Doug Mientkiewicz over Frank Thomas.
  5. Like I have said before, this is the correct opinion!
  6. Isn't Gammons known for being pretty bad when it comes to scooping trades? Also, there is no way Reed Johnson should be anything more than a platoon CF (vs LHP) for this team. The problem is that it appears that Coco Crisp doesn't hit righties that well either, so acquiring Crisp would really only be a lateral move. What would be ideal is for Pie to start hitting!
  7. I want the best friggin 8 or 9 hitters I can get, bottom line. I couldn't care less how they fit together in a lineup. You sacrifice production for perceived lineup "positions" and i'll take the productive players and pull their lineup positions out of a hat and we'll see who scores more runs.
  8. I really love his reasoning for why he thinks we won't win the division this year. Is his color man a moron? He sure sounds like one in that clip.
  9. Nuxhall was retired for a few years before dying, so that doesn't make any sense.
  10. Where are you getting your numbers? Per ESPN, I see: .283/.417 and an OPSA of .700 After I posted that this morning, I noticed that ESPN's gamelog didn't include last night. I wasn't sure if the stats were updated, as well. Ahh, after I posted that, thats what I kind of thought.
  11. Fukudome Lee Soriano Ramirez DeRosa Soto Theriot/Johnson Pie/Theriot ? I'd go with something like this maybe.
  12. There is currently a runner on first with no outs. Counsell at the plate though. At least he is Mr. Grit.
  13. Kosuke would look really good there. I agree 100%. And I would even hit Lee second and Ramirez third probably.
  14. This is about right. This is my biggest beef with Lou. And I don't know where KyleJRM came from, but he is quickly becoming one of my favorite posters.
  15. I hope someday a big league manager is bold enough to just insert his very best hitters into the top of the lineup.
  16. Fontenot, please make up for this terrible inning.
  17. I don't want position players who have to bunt with runners on first and second and nobody out! That was almost really dumb, dero!
  18. He went 2/3 with a 2B, 2 RBI, and 2 walks last night... and 4/7 with 3 walks the last two games.
