    It might be time for the Happy Lou sig to disappear.

    Let's try giving the power of positive thought a chance, eh? Were Cub fans..We try and we get let down. Look at all the games the pen has blown this year. Its hard to be posotive about them The definition of a Cubs fan is a fan with no memory.

    Soooo close. :cry:

    You have to. Aramis is a much better hitter than Pagan, and Jacque is available to play CF afterwards. There is no reason (stupidity aside) to not PH Aramis here.
  7. Rob
    Bring in Aramis now. NOW!

    No pressure Murt... No pressure at all...

    Shouldnt have been bunting in the first place stupid just stupid Agreed. If it were Izturis up, sure, go ahead and bunt. But Barrett should never be asked to lay one down.

    That was stupid. Let's waste a plate appearance from one of our better hitters.

    Rusch doesn't look like he's in playing shape. Then again, he didn't look to be in playing shape when he was playing, either.

    There is no man I'd rather have defending me from a giant sausage attack than Randall Simon.

    What the hell?

    If Cesar is gonna hit a home run this year, this'll be the spot.

    Murt probably got lucky that bounced off the bag.

    Zambrano is looking real solid in the early going.

    Olerud was 32 when Piniella left and played 4 more years before hanging it up last season. That is not really that old in baseball terms. Lots of guys play well into there late 30s at high levels. Franco is still kicking it at 48. But he never had another season like any when he played for Lou. Boone was 33 when Piniella left. He had one good year in 2003 and then declined into nonexistence. Cameron was 29 when Lou left. He had 110 RBIs in 2001, the most of his career. The highest since that time was 83. But you are right he did have a year last season like 2001 in terms of OPS. 1 season in 5 after playing for Lou. Typical peak seasons for position players fall in the 26-29 range. Once you fall out of that, the Julio Franco's of the world are the exception, not the rule. Lou doesn't get credit for offensive performance because people started declining in production after they left their peak years... that's preposterous.

    Ya, take a look at the teams though. Larry's team had talent, albeit somewhat aged. Lou's had kids. Which did a better job? The one who had more to work with or the one who didnt? Thats what i thought. I think Lou's team had more talent. Older doesn't = more talented. But, but... if you're in the league more than eight years you're already better than everybody who isn't, just because of your savvy veteran presence.

    He had a nice game yesterday when he got the start. So why does he forget to how to hit when he comes off the bench? And what about the starts where he's done nothing? I understand he's in a crappy spot, but hey, these are supposed to be pros...if it's "mental," suck it up. Frank Thomas said it took him years to adjust from not playing in the field to just grabbing a bat and walking to the plate. If the "right-handed Ted Williams" has trouble with it, I can't imagine it would somehow be easier for Murton.

    I will say this yet again. With the wind the way it is in the summer time it may cause an effect like the altitude in Colorado. By building the team one way, we may be causing ourselves problems another. I am saying it could be the ballpark which has been around since 1914. We have never won in it. So can you say looking into your crystal ball that is absolutely 100% not the ballpark, and the wind, and the elements in April or October? I cant say with even 75% certaintity that it is. And i dont really have to tell you about the lines around the foul area..say LCS game 6? Both teams play in the Field. Therefore, any advantages or disadvantages are shared by both the Cubs and their opponents. In regards to the historical record of futility in Wrigley, you're confusing result with causality. The Cubs don't suck because of Wrigley Field. Wrigley Field sucks because it is the Cubs who play in it. Exactly. Correlation != Causation That includes win totals and winning % for managers.

    Another run! Can anybody tell I'm happy right now?
  25. Rob
    Nice bunt, Barrett!
