You'd like to see more runs with that many hits, by 5 runs per game should be plenty to win so long as the pitching doesn't [expletive] the bed. Yeah, a ton of guys were left on base but it's not like the offense was dormant. I'll happily take 5 runs a game. -
Are you worried about our playoff chances?
Sammy Sofa replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
agreed. i haven't seen a playoff berth for this team almost all season long. So you're saying you thought they wouldn't make the playoffs sometime in April or May? that is correct Stop lying. -
08/11 - PHI (Happ) @ COBS (Harden) - 7:05 - CSN
Sammy Sofa replied to Derwood's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Please tell me that this is sarcastic. -
Yeah, the Phillies are going to be tough no matter what but this upcoming series is definitely up for grabs given the Phillies' struggles lately and since it's at home.
-
Offensively, sure, just because you've got the Wrigley factor in play. I think the biggest hurdle against the Phillies is going to be the Cubs' pitching and not the offense.
-
I've got a super feeling about this one!

Rios to the White Sox

ah yes the famous career OPS. When I evaluate a player, I use more than his age 23-25 OPS, sorry. i feel like weve been through this before The infinite loop cannot be broken. -
Man, this is depressing.
-
Isn't not taking pitches why Lou allegedly disliked him? That's a very sound thing to not like.
-
Better than Fukudome-Bradley 1-2?
-
Jake Fox: big fat rally killer.
-
Should we go look up your posts on Jim Edmonds? Wait, wasn't Roast in middle school when he was making those posts? Boosh.
-
You sure about that one?
-
We certainly need to stick with that 1-2. I'd like to think Lou was paying attention but he'll probably just focus on that they lost and think he needs to rearrange again.
-
So the 1-2 guys have been on, what 6 out 7 AB's tonight?
-
Oh, hey, it's the [expletive] Spark. Must be nice having non-midget middle infielders.
-
This ump is a [expletive].
-
I'm getting really tired of seeing teams putting things together against the Cubs with 2 outs.
-
Bob being Bob.
-
And what are basing this on? Look around baseball and look at who the GM's are year after year. Hendry really isn't that bad so that a replacement would be likely to be significantly better than him or even better at all in the big picture.
-
I admire Len's game face.
-
I've expressly said that I don't want to keep Hendry only for that reason either. I just hope nobody is really thinking getting a Theo Epstein-type as GM is really all that likely. I would love it if that happened...sadly it seems like the thing that happens all too rarely across baseball.
-
It's usually a pretty good indicator of it though. Barring a ton of injuries. Here's the top 3 payrolls from last year and where they finished in their division. Yankees - 3rd place Tigers - LAST PLACE Mets - 2nd place And the Yankees and Tigers had a ton of injuries. And the Cubs haven't this year?
-
And again, the season is not play only or mostly against the thrifty teams in the NL Central or thrifty teams in general. Just beacause a team spends 110 million doesn't make them a lock to beat up on teams spending in, say, the 70-90 million range.
-
Are you confident that whoever is brought in to replace him will be better? (I'm not asking this with the idea that Hendry should be kept on just because his replacement is likely to be as bad or worse)
