    Well, this is the Cubs we're talking about. We all know any injury concerns become magnified by about 50x when you join the Cubs. Do you seriously buy into this "only the Cubs" garbage that you spout basically every game? Do you seriously buy into this "I have to police any posts or posters that I disagree with" garbage you do in every thread? It's not policing. You post these things on a public forum where people read them and can respond...if you don't want people to respond, don't post them. Game after game you bring up things like bad signings and bad trades and injuries and bad calls and almost without fail talk like you're convinced that these things plague the Cubs more than any other team or that they're unusual occurances that few teams have to deal with. I would love to hear about these bad trades and bad signings I've talked about in any way besides anger at Jim Hendry for making them. If you really think I'm stupid enough to believe Hendry is the only GM who makes dumb moves once in a while, I don't know what to tell you. As for the bad calls, there have been a fair amount of them in recent games, and to point it out is not to bemoan some all-consuming bad luck for this team, it's to point out that umps have sucked in our recent games and mostly not in our favor.

    ??? I'm guessing he's reacting to what he was just told about Bradley.

    LOL. He's hurt again. I quit.

    He was safe anyway. Blame him for not running sooner but once again a blown call goes against us. Seems like that is happening a hell of a lot lately. Because only the Cubs have calls go against them. Because I have the time to research 29 other teams to find out.

    GEOVANY SOTO

    Good lord Derrek. And he was safe. BS'd again.

    The odds of the ump changing that zone on a key pitch later in the game are 1:40.

    Ugh. Bradley 3rd?
  12. Andy
    Incredibly stupid. Miles coming back basically removes any need for Bobby Scales, if you're bringing this worthless midget back at all. Fox meanwhile still has a place as a reserve corner IF/OF.
  13. Andy
    What the heck are we going to do with him? The guy just keeps hitting. We can't find room for Hoff to bat enough, let alone Fox. Not a bad problem, but a bit frustrating, especially since our corner OF spots are locked down for the next 2 years. Hopefully when everyone comes back, Scales is sent down and I guess Blanco down as well. Freel will be DFAd, no? That would leave 13 position players as follows: Soto, Hill, Ramirez, Theriot, Fontenot, Lee, Miles, Soriano, Johnson, Fukudome, Bradley, Fox, Hoffpauir Although I'm sure we'll never be 100% healthy, so that will mix and match. There is literally no reason Blanco shouldn't stay and Miles shouldn't be DFA'd. Blanco can hit almost as well as Miles and play MUCH better defense at two positions whereas Miles plays mediocre defense at one. Of course, that won't happen.

    Best Subs

    Andy replied to webjim25's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk

    If you think Subway is too expensive you should see other sub places. The remaining $5 footlongs they have are one of the best deals in 'cheap' food. Guaranteed fill-up every time.

    Three more games left on the trip, let's not speak too soon. Guzman is just absolutely fantastic. Love him. FWIW, I got in my car from Subway just as the 14th inning started, right before Soriano homered.

    Reds had a Cub-type game today. Score early, let other team whittle it down and tie it late.
  17. Andy
    If that dropped Theriot doesn't score, and we definitely strand him.
  18. Andy
    I'll take that!!!
  19. Andy
    Soriano needs to be put in Lee's now-empty grave.
  20. Andy
    Somehow, I knew Soto was gonna homer when I muted the TV.
  21. Andy
    If you ask me, Len jinxed it by passing along that blatantly lying stat saying we do well against guys making their debuts.
  22. Andy
    I do not believe that stat is true.
  23. Andy
    Which is fine because he's tearing the hell out of the ball. Wait.
  24. Andy
    SCALES!
  25. Andy
    More leadoff doubles to strand!
