    Jacque is my hero.

    Wow, how bad can this offense get?

    I expected Z to give Bynum the finger. Hmm. You may be on to something. Maybe Z asked that Murton not play in games he pitches. :D

    For those not able to see the game, that was a pretty ugly error.

    Dude clogs the bases. That's why he's not a Cub anymore. Bochy doesn't realize Bellhorn should be hitting 2nd either.
  8. BigbadB
    The Horn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    San Diego did make some adjustments in RF to make it easier to hit home runs, but it hasn't really helped much. Most of the home runs that will get hit out of Petco will be in the extreme left and extreme right sections of the outfield. It takes an absolute monster shot to clear the wall in center.

    It was. That's what happens to a crushed ball in Petco. No lie.
  11. BigbadB
    Not really.

    The Horn, walkin' machine.

    like what? Said before Lee got injured he was playing pretty good D at second base and praised him for his bat and his nice job at first while Lee's out of the lineup. They didn't directly criticize Cubs management for trying to move him in the offseason but they did discuss it. Matt Vasgersian and Mark Grant are the best broadcast team in baseball. Doesn't sound like Grant is in there tonight, however.

    Wow! 4 middle infielders in the same line up. :shock:

    What I don't understand on that play is why he didn't just tag up and then go - he was like 4 feet from first and could have made it back and still gotten to second. Did he lose track of whether the guy caught the ball?

    Actually, I think I recently saw that Diaz was demoted to AAA.

    Admittedly, I haven't seen the play that Corey was gunned down. And I probably was a bit overdefensive of Corey, but this is not the first thread on Corey documenting his failures while he's no longer a Cub. Corey is a bit of a sore subject with me. I really did hope he was going to be the all star CFer I thought he could be. For whatever reason he was unsuccessful in Chicago, I still hope he turns it around and has a great career.

    I think it's pretty ridiculous that people have a problem with this thread. No one is starting threads everyday documenting when Corey struggles. But this is simply an incredibly stupid play by Corey Patterson and it's worth mentioning. What's more ridiculous? Corey making a baserunning blunder or a whole team scoring 4 runs since last Saturday without any days off? And in that span, how many pitchers have or had ERA's over 5.00 entering those games?

    I agree with all of your post except ownership, Cheapseats. I can't blame ownership. Ownership has increased the budget by approximately 35m since 2000. Management hasn't been able to figure out how best to spend that money, and that is not the Tribs fault. That the Trib gave Hendry an extension is their fault.

    There is enough to complain about with the people on the Cubs, why bring up former Cubs?
  21. BigbadB
    And the Cubs continue their trend of selling low and buying high.

    I was a proponent for making Dusty the manager of the Cubs when he was brought on board. My reasoning was that he did a good job of getting the Giants to the playoffs. I soon became concerned about his in game management, even in 2003. But, because the team won, I was pretty much fine with Dusty. In 2004, I started calling for the axe. In 2005, I was screaming for the axe. In 2006, I actually think he's improved a bit on his in game management, but I still want him gone. I also want Hendry gone. No more 4 year contracts for managers please. This organization needs new direction.

    another difference...Pierre's play was dumb, but he was safe. he was only picked off because the umpire apparently had an overwhelming urge to raise his right arm. The point is Corey is no longer a Cub. He's no longer our problem. Pierre is our problem. Interestingly enough, Corey is hitting .295 and scoring runs at a pretty healthy clip. Yet, it's when he does something wrong people like to start threads about him. Corey's strike out rate is also only 1 per 6 plate appearances. But, I'm not going to start a thread about how well he's making contact. Just as I would expect that people wouldn't start a thread about him each time he does something that proves the anti Corey crowds theories.

    Except for the fact that the Marine layer has been as much as 2 miles thick directly over the ball park. They call it "May Gray". If he's going to put 60+ percentage points on his average, everything he hits will need to be hard and line drives. Of all the places for a team that can't score runs to go, San Diego is the worst. This could be a very long, long weekend.

    There were players available in trade and via free agency that would have made the team better. If the Cubs wouldn't have blown the Sosa scandal into a full blown media circus, they could have improved the team. Floyd, JD Drew, Ordonez, Beltran, the list goes on and on of players that were available after the Cubs dumped Moises. That they chose to go with Hollandsworth and later Dubois isn't the fault of the fans who are glad Moises is gone. Neither of those two were OUR choices as Moises replacement.
