    Geovany Soto.

    I don't believe there's a SS in baseball who drops as many throws as Theriot. Maybe not in Major League Baseball.

    Like Looper did?

    You should have used sarcastic green. Some people might actually think you're being serious. :D Duly noted.

    The problem with challenging Kosuke is that he can drive pitches, especially on the inner half. He has enough power to hit gappers and home runs when he gets pitches on the inner and middle portions of the strike zone, especially pitches that are thigh-high and above in the zone. I think most of MLB would agree with this but his below avg ISO (.128) is telling me a different story. Maybe he'll make adjustments and add more power. He's an interesting player to watch. He is an interesting player to watch. He is a right fielder, but he has played a few games in CF and played pretty well defensively. As he was moving the wrong way across the spectrum, this totally boggles one's mind. Jacques Jones was another player who moved from RF to CF and performed very well defensively, IIRC.

    If we can pick him up, we could send Marmol back to the minors and let JoBo take over the high-leverage situations as Wood's chief setup man. JoBo is a proven closer, so he could take over if/when Wood gets hurt, and his time spent as a Cub means he knows how to take advantage of the park's strengths and weaknesses.

    I luv bunting runners to 2nd!

    He got all of that!

    Lou is an in-game moran. Almost Dusty-level. Yeah, it's amazing we have the best record in the NL with a manager as dumb as Lou...what, he's only in the top 20 of all-time winningest managers, isn't he? Meanwhile, Marmol goes from unhittable the first two batters to horsecrap awfully quickly.... Lou deserves a ton of credit for the team's record. They're seeing a lot of pitches - something that never happened under Dusty - and their OBP is excellent. But he's as dumb as a rock once the game starts. Unless you just really like watching hit-and-run attempts.

    JIM EDMONDS IS MY PERSONAL HERO!

    It wasn't even close.

    Or just don't watch ESPN.

    In tonight's game, Dusty called on Votto to sac bunt in the 8th inning. Votto ended up striking out. Then Dusty pinch hit Javier Valentin for Jay Bruce. That didn't work out so well, either.

    Before today's game, DLee was 30th in MLB in double-play percentage (among all batters with 100 plate appearances or more). The fact that he leads the league in double plays just means he's getting to bat with guys on first base more often than Vlad Guerrero, Jorge Posada, Skip Schumaker, etc. His line drive rate is about where it usually is, but he IS hitting fewer fly balls and more ground balls so far this year.

    Haha you are happy.

    Maybe Lou will let him throw 200 pitches and then he'll need tj surgery and then he won't pitch for the cubs anymore and then they might win every 5th day and then they'll go to the playoffs.
  19. cheapseats
    Should have pitched to Markakis. Yeah, we know Marquis sucks, but walking the bases loaded was Lou's typical overmanaging.
  20. cheapseats
    The term "Cub Nation" makes me cringe.
  21. cheapseats
    As others have pointed out, home field advantage wasn't determined by best record in the past, anyway.
  22. cheapseats
    Nice hustle, Theriot. :evil:
  23. cheapseats
    Marquis should be able to hold this lead for at least 1.2 innings.
  24. cheapseats
    This is one of the better days of my life!

    I like it. Me, too. Kazmir is plenty tough against righties, but he's 130 points of OPS better against lefties.
