5/18 White Sox (Humber) @ Cubs (SHARK) 1:20 WGN
Irrelevant Dude replied to Brian's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Damn. I was hoping Wood wouldn't get in today so I could see his last game tomorrow... Come on Kerry, finish it off in style. -
According to Bruce Levine (so take it with a grain of salt), Wood has not expressed any interest in broadcasting.
-
Where is Koyie Hill when you need him?
-
Maybe they will save him for the World Series.
-
He is tree-mendous!
-
I thought Cubs radio broadcasts would improve substantially with Santo gone, and maybe technically-speaking they have, but I don't find myself enjoying them quite as much. I find most of what Moreland says to be rather dull and, as someone else stated, unremarkable. For a radio station like WGN, in a large market with a huge following, I think they can do better. I just hope WGN is keeping their options open for when Moreland's contract expires and that it isn't a foregone conclusion that he will be extended. I can live with him, but still hope for something better.

Apparently I missed the Chris Volstad blowup inning?

Aside from the contact rate, and the K rate, it's a fantastic approach. Right. -

I love LaHair's approach at the plate. -
Just get Michael Bourn to play center and you don't even need a left fielder. He was covering a ridiculous amount of ground last night.
-
I don't know the answer to the first part of your question, but no you cannot be "less mad about Thibs." Even if the injury was bound to happen sooner or later, it happened "sooner" at a completely unnecessary time.
-
My interest in the playoffs just popped.
-
Textbook journalism.
-
On the bright side, at least we don't have to worry about him playing in the Olympics.
-
Nice one Thibs.
-
That would be an odd move... must be an injury.
-
I seem to remember some misplays in the outfield and I just don't see LaHair being an everyday outfielder. He is serviceable enough to fill in at a corner outfield position occasionally, but I think his deficiencies would become apparent if he were to play out there on a regular basis. As for comparing his trade value to Pena, that is probably not a fair assessment. LaHair is younger, cheaper, and (if he keeps hitting anywhere near his current level) better.
-
Go!
-
He's 0 for 5 with 4 K's against LHP, he's not exactly inspiring much confidence to get him time against them. Except now he has 1 home run against LHP. How many do the rest of the lineup have?
-
I don't know when we'll pull the plug on him. My gut tells me midseason of next year. I think that our best hope is to pick up the full remainder of his salary and hope for something like the Sosa return. If we're going to take that much of a bath, may as well get something in return. Someone would bite on that, right? Am I reading correctly that Soriano's slugging percentage is equal to his batting average? After 11 games he has hit nothing better than a single??? I guess it could be worse... He could be OPS'ing .135.
-
He gives off the incoherence of Ronnie without the charm. Anyone know when he is signed through? Hopefully he is just a placeholder for Wood or someone else to fill the spot long term.
-
I wish this entire game was a glitch in the box score.
-
Awesome. First game I've been able to watch all year, so it feels like opening day for me.
-
I think it is a stretch to call the Cubs' rotation anything better than average at this point. Combine that with a below average bullpen, and this team needs more than just a little offense to make the playoffs. I fail to see how anyone could consider anything Epstein/Hoyer have done so far to be "infuriating."

Week of 3/4-3/10 Spring Training Game Thread
Irrelevant Dude replied to David's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
I am hearing a rather annoying high-pitched whine. It is much more audible on my 5.1 home theater system, but I can also hear it through my TV's speakers.
