Average? Average runners don't get less than 2 YPC There isn't a running back alive who could gain any yards with this O-line. It's completely on them. There are Falcon defenders in the backfield before our RB even get the hand off. So how long before Beekman gets a shot at guard? The Bears ran the ball well last year, so Beekman must have at least been respectable. I can't say the same for Omiyale.
If the organization really does have Sandberg targeted as the next manager, then I'd much prefer they give him a trial run as hitting coach at the major league level rather than just throwing him into the fire in 2011. Either he will do a good job and solidify himself as a managerial candidate, or he won't and the Cubs can decide to look elsewhere.
there's vomit everywhere Also, some of the food is really bad and overpriced, but you have to order it anyway and it will remain on the menu for several years.
I heard Lou on the radio after Colvin's first few games saying "We're probably gonna rest him the rest of the year." I have no idea what the logic was behind that decision.
I'm honestly fine with either one of them as the 5th starter. We have 4 solid starting pitchers and Gorzellany, Smardzija, and Marshall to compete for the 5th spot. Barring any trades, the focus should really be on the offense and bullpen.
Let me be the first to call BS on this one. I don't deny that racism still exists, but I can't possibly imagine a racial slur against a 3-year old kid.
So you believe that Bradley taking himself out of the game Thursday and the lineup Saturday was completely due to injury? And someone just made up the story about him getting into an argument with Von Joshua about pinch-hitting?
I have a feeling that if the MLBPA pursues this and more facts come out, Bradley will look even worse than he already does. I seriously doubt that a grievance will be filed.
Is he though? What I've been hearing on the radio this morning is that Bradley took himself out of the lineup not because of an injury, but because he was upset with Lou double-switching him out the day before.
It sucks that the Cubs are out of the race, but in some ways it makes these games more enjoyable. The past few years have been stressful and I have lived and died with every game, but now I'm able to just sit back and try to enjoy what is left of the season. This has been a fun game to watch.
Is he a recent callup for you guys? He's been up for awhile, but used sparingly. He has shown decent stuff at times, but I'm surprised to see him in this situation.
