    Pat and Ron are talking like Blanco missed the sign. He tried bunting through the whole at bat. If he had missed the sign, Quade probably would have yelled at him after the first 2-3 times he showed bunt.

    What the hell was that all about?

    As well as Lee has been hitting, he probably figured Derrek would put the bat on the ball. I don't particularly care what Lou's rationale is. This team is better off if we never attempt a hit and run all season. Lou really needs to stop calling for a few each game. With an ump using a tight strike zone and pitchers throwing so many balls it's foolish to hit and run. You don't really need that qualifier at the beginning, IMO. It's a good strategy if used correctly. There is never a good time for a hit and run. Now if you want to change it to Earl Weaver's run and hit, you might have a case.

    Lou really needs to stop sending the runners so damn often.

    Ted Lilly > Henry Blanco With the bat, at least.
  8. Rob
    And Blanco still gets paid 3+ mil this season.

    Ricciardi is generally accepted to be the ugly friend of the sexy sabr GM's. Nobody really loves him, but come last call, sometimes your situation is desperate enough that it sounds like a good idea.

    Explanation: It's the middle of April.

    Reed Johnson and Mike Fontenot are the only Cub hitters without basehits so far.

    I'm considering ordering one of those mail-order brides just so I have a wife to offer to him.

    Have all of DLee's dingers been just left of center field?
  15. Rob
    ... Yup...

    Think Murton would've made that play?

    I wonder if this has something to do with why it looked like he couldn't catch up with any of Harang's pitches? That would be more like it. The hand has nothing to do with it. Lou said he was going to spend 2-3 days working with Pie to shorten his swing. The two worked together Wednesday, with Piniella engaging in some pretty animated discussion with Pie. I pray that isn't a diplomatic way of saying Lou was yelling at Pie.

    I get it... the only way to beat Dusty lineup is to run a Dusty lineup out there against it.

    Murton wasn't called up, from what I hear, because Patterson is more fit to be a leadoff man and that is the glaring hole right now. More accurately, that is what the Cubs perceive as a glaring hole. In reality, it couldn't matter much less.

    No doubt it's a big move but it makes sense if Soriano keeps struggling to stay healthy in the OF. Soriano will have $112M and 6 years left on his contract after this season. You absolutely cannot let a player's body break down when you owe him that much money. We could get something pretty good for Lee, so it's not like Lee's production would just disappear if he were traded. DLee's contract runs out after 2010 (his age 34 season). I expect that we let him walk and move Sori to 1B at that point for the remainder of his contract (which runs through 2014).

    :lol:

    1.) The Carlos Lee for Scott Podsednik trade did not help the White Sox. 2.) The White Sox are no more real than the A's or the Orioles right now.

    Aramis Ramirez's PA/BB: 2005 - 14.46 2006 - 13.20 2007 - 12.98 2008 - 8.00 P/PA 2005 - 3.61 2006 - 3.71 2007 - 3.67 2008 - 4.18 Aramis seems to be making a concerted effort to improve his plate discipline. It should pay off eventually. Should we be crediting Perry for that?

    :cool: quit being a baby about me being a baby and just fix it baby Stop calling him "baby"... I'm getting a weird vibe from it.
