    Caridad? Whaaaaaaaaaa? Lou has gone off the rocker.
  2. Irrelevant Dude
    Now that's smart managing, made even better by the repeated shots of Lou with his book.
  3. Irrelevant Dude
    Miles for Fauwould? Why?
  4. Irrelevant Dude
    What, Cardinals fans boo too??? How dare they!

    I really thought Colby Rasmus was the batboy.
  6. Irrelevant Dude
    Because the Cubs organization is intent on eliminating any value that Marshall may have had going into the season?
  7. Irrelevant Dude
    Is this a paid or unpaid suspension? If unpaid, will the player's union be getting involved?
  8. Irrelevant Dude
    I would like to think that Hendry sat down with Bradley much earlier in the season to try to settle him down, but I doubt that ever happened. He waited to do anything until the team was virtually eliminated.
  9. Irrelevant Dude
    you think those would be his numbers next year? they could be worse for all you or I know. More likely he'd suffer some season ending injury in the first week. they could be. But it's pretty clear that this season's numbers are an anomaly (only 2nd time in last 6 years to OPS under .800). That may be clear to you, but it isn't to me. Why should we assume that an injury-prone player in his 30's will return to his previous form? There's a decent chance that he will, but it isn't out of the question that his best years are behind him.

    Well he wasn't producing like he was getting paid for, how about that. Don't bother with that guy. He and the other Bradley defenders will defend him to no end even when his own teammates have now said he's basically an ass. I really wonder about some of the posters on this board. There are some people who look at stats in a vacuum and refuse to consider that anything else could have an impact on the team. Bradley has not been the only problem with the Cubs this year, but refusing to acknowledge that he has been a problem is just ridiculous.
  11. Irrelevant Dude
    The best thing for the Cubs would be for Bradley to shut his mouth, learn to deal with the fans, and come back next season. Unfortunately, that isn't going to happen. Bradley will either come back and continue to be a distraction, or he will be traded for next to nothing with the Cubs eating most of his salary.
  12. Irrelevant Dude
    I don't!
  13. Irrelevant Dude
    Is this his last year in Chicago? I have to believe that it is. This upcoming offseason is going to make the last offseason look like the best thing ever. Nothing could make last offseason look good, but it is disturbing when the 2010 focus seemingly is to subtract players instead of making the team better.
  14. Irrelevant Dude
    Hey, why not continue to throw hanging sliders?
  15. Irrelevant Dude
    This Bobby Scales kid is gonna be a star, if only Lou would continue to run him out there every single game.
  16. Irrelevant Dude
    Not that an official scorer would ever call that play an error, but has there ever been a 4 base error?

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/cubs/chi-18-cubs-brewers-chicago-sep18,0,6241197.story If you read the entire article he seems to insinuate that after the game Lou went to hide away and get a little tipsy before being ready to address the media. :-)) We knew the team was dysfunctional, but is this a case of the media going too far? What if it's true? I'm guessing it is true, but did it need to be reported? Why shouldn't it be reported when the manager of a professional sports teams drinks before a press conference? It may not be the most professional thing to do, but I really don't have much of a problem with it. Lou having a drink after the game has no impact on the team's performance on the field. If a manager was drinking before a game, that would be another story, but having a drink or two before talking to the media isn't going to hurt anything.

    Steering the topic away from RBI vs. OBP, what happened with Bradley today? I was listening on the radio and it sounded like he hit a routine single and then promptly took himself out of the game for what was later reported as "knee inflammation". Knee inflammation isn't exactly a sudden injury, so what really prompted Bradley to leave the game?
  19. Irrelevant Dude
    I heard conflicting reports on Waddle & Silvy this morning that Harden is being skipped 1-2 starts, meaning he may still pitch another game or two.
  20. Irrelevant Dude
    Wow is right. Dreyfus was on another planet. He knew nothing about baseball and most of his random comments made absolutely no sense.
  21. Irrelevant Dude
    This is anecdotal evidence. Z is no more prone to the big inning than anyone else. The fact that Zambrano gets all pissy when he does have a big inning makes people remember it. While I don't have any statistical evidence, I think it is reasonable to say that a pitcher who maintains his composure through adversity is more likely to minimize damage in an inning than someone who loses his composure.
  22. Irrelevant Dude
    Watch them. There is 19 games left and they are playing good ball. You are going to miss them when they are gone. My thoughts exactly. Playoffs or no playoffs, it's a long offseason.
  23. Irrelevant Dude
    Hell, if the same stuff happens tomorrow and we win Thursday, we can get to 4 GB with a sweep! Wouldn't that be hilarious. What wouldn't be hilarious is to do all of this and play like crazy the last month of the season and end up falling 2-3 games short, leaving us all winter to lament about how it took 5 months for the 2009 Cubs to get their #$*% together. So for me, it's either stay 5 or more games out of a playoff spot, or do the unthinkable. 2 games short would be agonizing and have Kevin Gregg written all over it.

    What's going on in the West Tenn game? Does anyone have a link to a radio feed?
  25. Irrelevant Dude
    I caught myself thinking that too when I checked the standings last night and saw that they still have a nearly 2% chance of making the playoffs. 98 times out of 100 it won't happen, but there are always those 2 times. "So you're telling me there's a chance!" The logical person in me knows that it isn't going to happen, but winter is long enough without baseball, so I at least want to enjoy semi-meaningful games while I can.
