What do you need to know? Some clown named Billy S. wrote a bunch of plays that were shown at the Globe before it went up in flames. And men wore women's clothes.
-
What time period?
-
For cat?
-
That joke isn't funny anymore It's too close to home and it's too near to bone

Y KANT SORI HIT?
-
what is that little play on words you guys are doing called? Light mental exercise for the hyper-intelligent.
-
Put him LF with Sori at 2b Remember when Zimmer put Les Lancaster in LF for one batter then brought him back to the mound? Crazy Pretty good idea, really.

Hahah

Ronny has hit the ball hard, he's got to be due some time soon. I don't really care about him being due...I care about winning...Riot would have been nicer to have there...Hell...Marquis might have been better. Theriot is already in the game.

Jerry Hairston has been practicing for that play all his life. :cry:
-
Good. I bet that's what we see in the bottom of the inning.
-
all fans behind home plate do that. it's really annoying Have you guys ever sat behind home plate at Wrigley? The angles are pretty weird. It's hard to tell how well a ball is hit - harder than it is from the same vantage point at other parks. Of course, most of the people that can afford those seats are on their Blackberries for most of the game and jump up out of reflex when they hear the crack of the bat.

Neifi will allow two runs to score on a sac fly. Oh wait.
-
why are we bunting to get to DeRosa (or more importantly) Blanco? Because there were only three men in baseball who hit groundballs more often than Jacque last year. He's a double play waiting to happen when there's a man on first.

And that's after today's game. Besides Miller and Zambrano, the pitching has been the least of our worries. It's our offense's inability to score runs. Wrong. It's our offense's ability to score runs consistiently. We're second in the division in scoring runs. Our pythags indicate we should have the best record in the division. We can score the runs, we just don't always score them when needed. Yeah, but that's true of every offense. If there's anything that can be done to make offensive output more consistent, I'd like to know what it is. The Mets and the Marlins, the two best offensive teams in the NL, both have higher standard deviations than the Cubs. I'd rather have their greater inconsistency and higher run totals than what we've seen thus far. Underperforming pythag usually just indicates bad luck, but it can be a sign of a poor bullpen.

Today was Pettitte's throw day, and the typical side session is about 50 pitches at 90-95% intensity. Pettitte only threw 14 pitches, so unless he threw a lot of warmup pitches, it was a smart way to use him. It's the second time Pettitte has been used in relief in between starts this year. In Colorado, Josh Fogg has been used the same way. Personally, I'm all for it. I know it's perfectly safe to pitch him today. But I don't think it's worth it to throw him out there against one of the best hitters in the game to try and beat the Red Sox in April, especially when you consider the injuries in their rotation. If it's perfectly safe for Pettitte to pitch, what do injuries in the rotation have to do with anything? Pettitte also made a relief appearance against Baltimore a couple of weeks ago, so it wasn't just a case of pulling out all the stops to beat Boston. This might be the only way I've ever been impressed with Joe Torre's handling of his pitching staff, and I'd be all for doing it with other veteran pitchers.

Peg Pujols in the face. I want a fastball into the dugout. i think the mayor of cincinnati can do that for us Jerry Springer or the current mayor? jerry springer was the mayor of cincinnati? He sure was. wow, i did not know that... well...i don't know how he throws...but the current mayor has enough wicked movement to put one right in the eye of pujols i was at opening day in cincinnati. that was the worst opening pitch ever.

Spiderman wouldn't have caught that ball. Spiderman has never played CF. It's tough to make that kind of move across the defensive spectrum. Ask CardsFanInChiTown.
-
Yours, or someone else's?
-
Pie would have robbed Pujols of that homerun. Putting Murton in CF cost us the game as many here correctly predicted.
-
I'm sure glad Brenly isn't the Cubs manager.
-
Bench him. Oh wait.
-
What are the other options? Izturis? Blanco? Z? Marquis? Id PH Soriano here and let Pie bat. Actually, yeah, I would, too.
