  1. I'm appalled by watching him play the game. That's funny. The last three years, he's been one of the very few reasons to watch the Cubs, and two bad months into the next season, everybody says they can't stand him. Barrett haters remind me way too much of Yankee fans... that whole "what have you done for me lately?" crap. It's disgusting... and it's certainly not befitting of a Cubs fan. Cubs fans on this site that have that attitude like cubbiechris make me sick to be a cubs fan. If a guy has been nails for you for 3 years, you don't throw him under the bus. The same thing happened to Z. It IS disgusting. and Pathetic. I don't like being associated with those types of Cubs fans. I see...Just blindly support a player for what he did in the past. Sure.
  2. Actually with a pitcher like Wells the best tactic is to swing early in the count. Same with Maddux. Even after a walk. If the pitch is good. Yes.

And for two months Barrett has been crap. Who cares what he did in the past. That's not helping this team now.
  4. I don't hate him at all, just some of the things he does. In fact, I really wish he'd get his act together so we could keep him. I love Barrett and I want him to turn it around. He's a good hitter and isn't as stupid defensively as he's shown himself to be this year. However, he's hurting us badly right now. Yes he is...

  6. Well at least we made Wells work this inning. Barrett will K.
  7. I heard the lineup earlier on the radio while jogging. I think it's: Soriano Pie Lee Floyd DeRosa Barrett Fontenot Theriot Lilly I know Barrett is 6th and Fontenot and Theriot follow him... Floyd hits pretty well off of LHP in his career (.273). The article said that Pagan would start against some lefties (implying that Floyd would get the majority of the time) but I think Lou feels Cliff can handle Wells. This year Cliff is hitting .375 against lefties in 8 ABs. I can live with this...
  8. This can't be right....HE DRIVES IN RUNS WITH HIS GLOVE DAMNIT! Isn't this joke getting old yet?
  9. That actually looks like a moderate, certainly not easy, schedule: Padres - Best pitching staff in the league, even if we miss Peavy, best record in the NL and has owned us in recent past. (My prediction: 1 of 3) Rangers - Just beat our division leaders 2 of 3, still have a decent offense, Sammy will be inspired, and our strength is pitching, which goes to die in Texas (2 of 3) White Sox - Like you said, throw the records out, I have a bad feeling about this series (1 of 3) Colorado - Certainly not an easy team like you seem to be suggesting but still (2 of 3) Nationals - OK they are pretty bad (2 of 3) Pirates - Certainly not pushovers, and have good pitching (1 of 3..just a gut feeling) Would not surprise me in the least bit.
  10. I guess that's a kinder way of saying he can't hit, run the bases or throw the ball very well. Barrett is a mess! He's the one guy that I thought was going to have a big year for us.
  11. Just win baby! Keep the ball rolling... We lose 2/3.
  12. and Derrek Lee hasn't been Derrek Lee. They are winning because of their starters and the Pen has been pretty good recently.
  13. Yup-two walks by DeRosa and Fontenot, K. Hill bunted them over, and Izturis hit a double to drive both runs in (8th inning). Nice! I was just checking out Gameday! Izzy's always good for one of those clutch hits every 2-3 weeks.
  14. WAIT! WTF!!!! WE WON? I left work when we were down by a run. We actually won! YES!!!! We actually had a Real Rally? No Fake one?
  15. You have to justify those 10,000+ post's some how.
  16. Detriot is down 6-5 bottom 9th man on 3rd and 2 outs!
  17. Before last night, we had the worst batting average (.233 or something close) with bases loaded. I reiterate --- the Cubs choke in pressure situations!! weren't you proven to be laughably wrong on this point in another thread? Mr. abuck1220 (superstar), The Cubs are DEAD LAST in batting average with the bases loaded. I call that lack of clutch hitting. And btw, stop being an ars Actually they're not. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/stats/byteam?cat=Situational&cut_type=94&conference=MLB&year=season_2007&sort=722 And they're third with RISP. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/stats/byteam?cat=Situational&cut_type=39&conference=MLB&year=season_2007&sort=722 All these situations just get magnified because we played so poorly in other areas of the game. All teams have trouble from time to time scoring runs.
  18. I don't think anyone think's it's funny or clever.
