  1. The Reds good offense... much better than the Cubs.
  2. Why would they just throw away $25,000? It's pretty obvious that on a first visit, the manager shouldn't have to call for a double switch before going to the mound.
  3. I thought we won the flip vs. the Cardinals, but lost in the event of a tie with the Brewers? I could be wrong, but I thought that's what I heard.
  4. Not even a possibility. Not even Bud Selig is going to overturn a game in a pennant race based on a nitpicky technicality.
  5. Did you also notice how he referred to Theriot as "our leadoff hitter." Technically he led off the inning, but I interpreted Lou's statment as Theriot being the team's leadoff guy. I wouldnt look to far into that. Soriano will be leading off I agree Soriano will still bat leadoff, but I read that Piniella still considers Theriot as more of his leadoff man even though he doesn't bat in that spot in the order.
  6. At this point, that's a bad thing.
  7. Did you also notice how he referred to Theriot as "our leadoff hitter." Technically he led off the inning, but I interpreted Lou's statment as Theriot being the team's leadoff guy.
  8. What did he ask? It wasn't really phrased as a question... something about luck and how it seems like teams who make the playoffs usually win these type of games. Lou didn't understand it, and either did I.
  9. I like when Lou said this game wasn't luck. Good for him.
  10. What kind of dumb question is Bruce Levine asking?
  11. I'd venture to guess that he wasn't there to look at the on-field product. He can watch TV and see that. Assuming he stayed until the end of the game, it can't hurt for him to have been there and felt the electricity in the park.
  12. I think I made my dog have a heart attack.
  13. Isn't Cuban here tonight? If this doesn't convince him to buy the Cubs, what will?
  14. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@$!@#$@#!$!@#$#@!$@
  15. We arent really tied though we have played 2 more games than the Brewers IF they split those they are ahead of us. Not true. If they split those, we're tied. If they win both, we would be behind by 1.
  16. The Cubs need Ward in case we get to Munroe's spot in the lineup. I don't know if that's sarcasm, but again you cross that bridge when you get to it. If the inning is alive for Monroe against a righty then you pinch hit Murton. You use your best pinch hitters first so that you're not stuck with guys who've looked to have no clue at the plate(Theriot), hitting because you're too busy waiting for some pefect oppurtunity to use your best pinch hitter. That wasn't sarcasm, but re-reading it now I can understand how it could be taken for that.
  17. The Cubs need Ward in case we get to Munroe's spot in the lineup. I'm not worried about that happening. I am, considering Munroe's numbers vs. RHP.
  18. The Cubs need Ward in case we get to Munroe's spot in the lineup.
  19. If I remember right, DeRosa had a cortisone shot the next day, so Lou was justified for sitting him.
  20. 3-6 lifetime against Stanton. Make that 3-7. Gotta love those 6 at bat sample sizes.
  21. Veteran. O comes before U in the alphabet. And together "ou" are part of "double play".
  22. I mentioned earlier in the thread that I have full confidence that he will let the Cardinals roll over in that series. Aren't LaRussa and Piniella good friends? That's my only hope is that LaRussa will feel obligated to "maintain the integrity of the pennant race."
