    Man we should have given Dempster more years. We gotta keep this guy around.
  2. illiniguy
    Awesome. Tell some jokes Ryan.
  3. illiniguy
    They are really good.

    Neither are ideal, but at least he has to throw a few more pressure pitches then as opposed to just hacking at whatever crap he throws up there. It really doesn't matter, he's not coming through.

    In this situation, it's not that bad of an idea. He's facing a pitcher with very good control that could afford to walk the previous hitter to get to Dempster. He's not going to want to fall behind Dempster, so the first pitch might be the best one he would see. If I'm Dempster, I treat that situation like a 3-1 count...look for a fastball in a specific spot, and if I get it, take a hard swing at it. All that said, I'm listening on radio, so I didn't see the pitch he swung at. It was ball 1 and one he couldn't have done anything with. In that case, he shouldn't have hacked at it. However, I don't think that situation warranted an automatic take on the first pitch. He can't hit. I would rather he take 3 pitches and make the pitcher work.

    It's very frustrating. What the hell happened to the team offense in one offseason? Aaron Miles. Makes sense. We are about 1-7 since he came back to save us.

    Well, he can't really hit either. Riiiiiiiiiiiight Yeah this crap is absurd. Soriano has never, ever hit in his career. Every year it seems like he's about .220 with 19 homers. Plus he eats kittens. i hear he smacks them around a little first before eating them. Makes sense. He's so evil. I overheard him when he was on Texas saying onc he was a free agent that he would love to come sabbotage the Cubs. Pure Evil.

    Why does Dempster always swing on the first pitch after the pitcher just walked the previous hitter? ](*,)

    Awesome let's ask him to do something he can't do, which isn't even a good baseball call, so he will inevitably get booed for not being able to do it.

    Win Idiots.

    Does a move to that park project to help his offense enough to make this game worthwhile.
  15. illiniguy
    Chan Ho Park. FTW.
  16. illiniguy
    Yeah right.

    Mine is easily 03 after Rammys Grand slam in Florida. I thought we were going to the World Series. Was making plans to drive to Chicago. I missed most of the 03 NLCS because I was working 18 hours a day. Be glad you missed the last three games, those were easily the worst moments of my Cubs fan existance.

    Then Theriot could play 2B! That's not the way our organization does things. Theriot is our shortstop. Tulo would be new to the team, he would be the one playing 2B.
  20. illiniguy
    and good Yep. Nice throw. Get this clown the hell out of here.
  21. illiniguy
    We are one lucky team.

    I got the pitchers from ESPN. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. Well Cubs.com is prolly wrong. Pedro is going for sure on Wednesday. It's one of the leads at the bottom of the espn ticker. That means it bumped off Farve and Vick. It has to be correct.

    By the way, lol @ detroit. Eh, they overpaid for a couple guys but at least they overpaid for younger guys who still have some upside and are fairly sure bets to continue to produce at the levels they have. Charlie V is brutal defensively but I love him offensively and he's solid on the boards. He can be really good on the offensive end and if they can get him to commit defensively (not likely) he's a bargain. They basically positioned themselves to be a 4-6 seed for the next few years. Which can basically be NBA hell. But they can't afford to tank and rebuild or they'll sell 7,500 seats per game. They need to get lucky at one spot. I think he was loling at the Ben Wallace signing. Mike Aller can see into the future? :D Maybe. Guess I should have checked the date on when he made that post.

    As it stands right now, the only lefty we face in the Philadelphia series is Happ tomorrow........ Gm# Date Opponent Score Starter Opp Starter 111 Tue 08/11 Philadelphia N - Harden Happ 112 Wed 08/12 Philadelphia N - Samardzija Martinez 113 Thu 08/13 Philadelphia - Dempster Blanton Man, that's awesome. I hope that holds up.

    HE'S NICE TO DOGS Ok, so he won't be trying to add Mike Vick.
