DeRosa walks. Bases juiced for Izzy with one down. -
"We're not gonna take your organs now. We'll take them later." :shock:

Jesse White is seriously creeping me out.
-
Wha?
-
White is talking about organ donation... Some kid in downstate Illinois who needs a kidney is counting on a suicidal Cubs fan paying attention right about now.
-
Jesse White always throws me off for some reason...

Even Len knows well enough that the season isn't over cause of a fluke bad start in close games. It'd be real nice if Cubs fans could figure that out. Rich Hill is a raging badass, by the way.

What are the odds that we are the first team in history to not win a single game when the run differential is two or less? Almost negligible. We will start to win some of those games, of that I am sure. More than anything else, I'm impressed that we're playing such a high percentage of our games either in that level or by going ahead three or more runs. Bad teams aren't more likely to lose one or two run games than they are to get blown out... and the Cubs aren't getting blown out. This is bad luck, that's all. People just need to relax.

It's pretty hard to hide them when your ace only goes 5.1 innings. zambrano, eyre, howry and soriano are the people most deserving of blame for this mess. izturis and miller are both complete disasters, but everyone knew that was going to happen. To be fair, a lot of us were none too enthused over the prospect of paying good money for Howry. And a lot of us were curled up in the fetal position sucking our thumbs when we found out what we were paying for that chump Eyre. Just think... if we weren't paying the contracts for Eyre, Howry, and Dempster, we could have afforded to trade for Abreu last year when the Phillies would give him to anybody with a couple warm bodies who didn't want them to pick up the contract. If I were the GM, I'd never pay more than about 2 mil to any reliever... if that even.

I'd settle for a quick and/or painless death.

Remember when I said in the 9th that using Theriot to pinch hit then was a dumb idea? This is why.

Pie with the two bagger.

Who was the last Cub left hander to win 20 games?
Rob replied to witty alias's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Unless I'm mistaken, the only southpaws with 300 wins are Steve Carlton, Warren Spahn, Eddie Plank, and Lefty Grove. And I don't think any of them played for us. -
Stating reverse jinx reverses it.

That was pretty stupid to pinch hit Theriot there. With two outs and nobody on, the odds of managing a run were quite small anyways. With Lee, Aramis, and Jones set to come up the next inning we were in a pretty powerful position to win the game. If Theriot were to get a hit, odds are we'd just waste DLee's at bat in a situation where he's not likely to help as much as he could just leading off next inning with a walk or something. It was a pretty shoddy use of available resources. The best way to manage the situation would have been to just let the pitcher make an out.

Freaking WCIU, why must you not be available in this area? That sounded like a play I really wanted to see.

Stoney says Lou is the best manager the Cubs have ever had..
Rob replied to moorecg's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
We had a manager known as "The Peerless Leader." I'm kinda inclined to stick with him as our "best ever." -
No, Hamels is Santana with a huge track record of injury concerns. Health counts, and without Santana's track record of it, he'd rate below King Felix on the pure talent level.

Does anybody know where I can find a list of steroid users caught by MLB testing? Or even a partial list? All I can think of are Palmeiro, Guillermo Mota, and Alex Sanchez, for some reason. I also know Turnbow and Sledge were caught by Olympic testing.
-
I don't think anybody outside of Santana or Liriano can even think of laying claim to that.

Sad that even after a 4.2 IP, 7 ER game, you might be right.

Ron :cry: Get better!
