    Soriano unable to pick that breaking ball off the bounce.
  2. bukie
    No time like the present for Soriano to snap out of the early season funk.
  3. bukie
    Now I just hope that they don't pitch around Cedeno to get to Soriano.
  4. bukie
    Cards putting a righty in to face Cedeno. Apparently LaRussa doesn't know Cedeno's splits.
  5. bukie
    Yes, it's not like he's been hitting .300 since Piniella and Perry have worked with him or anything...

    Why did the Illini lose players too? You guys were doing all the talking last year. I think that was what he was implying. Illini fans gain respect for Crean, less whining about IU or their coach.

    Even if the Cubs get swept this weekend, there are still 120 games to play on the year, and the Cubs are above .500 with three pitchers clicking and without one of their best hitters doing anything.

    Come on, man. What is that his 3rd blown save already this year? Plus the horrible outing in game one. I have had enough of the Wood for closer experiment. I agree, Marmol to closer. Sorry Kerry, but in save situations this year he has been terrible. So you'd rather have Wood/Howry coming in for difficult situations like the one Marmol came in for today? Right. The Cubs lost because of Wood. Your best reliever should be your closer. So, today, if Marmol is the closer, who pitches with 2 on, 1 out in the 7th, and then the 8th, to preserve the 2 run lead?

    To clarify, since Pie worked with Perry and Lou: Felix "Has no business being in the majors" Pie: 5-17, 1 HR, 3 BB, 5 K, .294/.386/.471/.857, 4 starts Reed "Ideal leadoff hitter" Johnson: 7-33, 3 BB, 6 K, .212/.278/.212/.490, 8 starts GET OFF PIE'S BACK!
  10. bukie
    No he hasn't actually. He started off 5-10, but is 0-7 since with 5 strikeouts and a GIDP. Good enough for .294/.386/.471. He started out 5-10 when he started 3 days in a row. Since then, he's started once in the past 6 games and has gone 0-7 with 5 Ks and 2 BBs.
  11. bukie
    He is 4 for what 7 in save chances? He also was god awful on opening day. He hasn't gotten the job done. Opening day was the other bad outing. He's given up 2 runs in 12 innings outside those two outings.
  12. bukie
    What the heck is with the vitriol towards Pie? He's hit well since they worked with his swing, and the only way that's a DP ball is if he hit it on the screws, so it must have been hit well. Also, Wood. He didn't have it today, obviously. But the overreaction to his overall performance this year is pathetic. He's had two bad outings this year. Oh no, he's useless!
  13. bukie
    When was the last time Kerry pitched? Counsell, PH (Kapler?), Kendall in the 9th.
  14. bukie
    Fukudome not having a great day on the bases (or in the field..) today. However, he is always on the bases, and there's much to be said for that.
  15. bukie
    Honestly, I'd rather have Theriot than Soriano batting at this point in the year.
  16. bukie
    Do the Brewers still have 14 pitchers? Curious because the P spot is up second in the ninth. Kapler and Hardy are left, I know, and the backup C.
  17. bukie
    Awwwwww.... In play, out(s)
  18. bukie
    Realistically, these are even matchups. Taking into account how they've all pitched so far this year, though, the Cubs could have a rough go of it this weekend.
  19. bukie
    Just the same, I'd rather him in here to preserve a slight lead against the Brewers than plan ahead for maybe needing to use him an inning tomorrow in St. Louis.
  20. bukie
    He should have been down in Iowa for a few days to do a rehab assignment. The guy needs to work on his strike zone judgment. Soriano's never been about strike zone judgment, though. If anything, he needs to work on his ability to make good contact with the balls he swings at. That's about the only way Soriano could reasonably be expected to be productive.
  21. bukie
    He's cooled off significantly. I'm curious how productive Pie has been since Lou and Gerald were working with him. I have to think Pie has been at least .275/.330/.450 since then.
  22. bukie
    Ehh, I can understand why Lou had Z in to start the inning, with the bottom 3 of the order up. Just didn't work out. At least he went to Marmol in time. And if Marmol is going to pitch so often, it'd be nice if he could avoid automatically throwing three balls to every hitter he faces.
  23. bukie
    Is anyone warming up in the pen? I'd really like a nice quick inning with Z still in there, but Marmol needs to be ready in case of trouble.
  24. bukie
    So people aren't allowed to show their displeasure when players make stupid decisions? No people can but a lot of the people posting have criticized not just the play. They have said the things they said a month ago. Not a good player, shouldn't be playing, isn't gritty ... etc. No, but the play was extremely gritiotic.
  25. bukie
    So, since you didn't incite a reaction the first time you thought you'd post it again?
