    Wow, Stevens was nasty. Good job, rookie. FINISH THIS.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Oh God. Yeah, like Koyie Hill is so awesome at throwing runners out as it is. Koyie Hill has now thrown out 41% of basestealers this season. That's probably one of the best percentages in the league for any catcher who's played more than a handful of games. Damn you and your non-hysterical conjecture. The idiots on ESPN 1000 were completely blaming Bradley for the bottom of the 9th from what I heard, making it sound like he fucked up the signs and got caught. So, yeah, they're morons.

    Joe Carter, Dave Otto, Joe Morgan, Buck and McCarver, Hawk Harrelson... The whole Nats TV team can go on that list. Brutal. I had to listen to them for one of the games of the Cubs series. The Pirates' guys were horrible in the years past that I've heard them. Not that that they were particuarly obnoxious, but more in that they were just SO boring.

    My issue with Rose is that what he did was totally and beyond the shadow of a doubt against the rules for decades before he showed up. It was effectively baseball's cardinal sin for almost a century, he knew it, and he still willfully did it. It look at it the same way I do with the guys caught juicing after the crackdown went into effect: if you got away with it before baseball definitively said "no," good on you. If you made the choice to do it after it was completely and totally against the rules, tough [expletive].

    Keep on keeping on, friend, I got dumped yesterday too - albeit a much shorter time frame than a year and a half. Was she the one?

    I'm 30 and I honestly was not a fan of the Cubs' TV broadcasting as far back as I can remember. Stone just seemed like smarmy white noise and Harry was a slobbering oaf. Harry I'll give the credit to that in his younger, healthier days (most of which were before I can remember since even in 1984 he would go from pro to sloshed by about halfway through the game) was an excellent PBP guy. Stone always struck me as being a snot and didn't know [expletive].

    Eh, odds are whoever replaces him will be on par with Hendry or worse. Truly good GM's are few and far between.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    I'm failing to see what's so tough about that schedule. It's pretty unremarkable.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Oh, the Arnold Layne hits just keep coming.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    I don't think he was safe, since he touched Koyie's foot. He has to be tagged with a hand or glove holding the ball. Touching his foot doesn't matter. Not that it matters, but I believe Coach was saying that Hill's foot blocked Encarnacion from ever touching home plate. That's what I mean. Koyie's foot was blocking homeplate from ever touching the home plate. Their feet didn't hit until Encarnacion had already touched the plate.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    He missed catching that by maybe an inch or two. He's pretty solid out there. Yeah, that was just barely not an amazing catch. He's been pretty impressive.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Oh, come on. That was a bullet.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    he threw 115 pitches last outing, and he doesn't exactly have the most resilient arm in the world. And the Cubs have starters dealing with injury problems right now. Best not to push it.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Pulling Rich Harden after 90 pitches is A-OK with me.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    While he did save him, it wasnt an easy play by any means for Fox I know, I'm just deflating the Fox love a little.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    They're competing them with them by doing the same thing those teams are doing: winning series and beating up on the bad teams. No team plays mostly good teams in a season, and bad teams don't consistently beat up on other bad teams: then they wouldn't be bad teams.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Bradley saves Fox.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Little early for that, since it would only be .5/gm up if it works out. I still can't get too excited about the standing yet. Long way to go, lots of injuries need to heal, and the Cubs need to put together an extended streak of good baseball to have any hopes of accomplishing anything. We are starting to do that. Nice play. I guess I need to see it against someone other than Washington and the Reds before I get too riled up. The Cubs play more average, mediocre and bad teams than good ones.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    Or just play Sori there and let Fox play left. Dear Lord, people...THE #8 HITTER CAN BE BAD. Soto will hit 7th when he comes back. A Fontenot/Baker platoon at #8 is fine. The Cubs don't need to be creating serious defensive liabilities in two positions to replace the #8 hitters. GOOD LORD it won't kill us to try that for a couple of games until Geo gets back. GOOD LORD, it just might. There's no reason to do something that ridiculous in a division this tight right now with Soto due back. Why do they need to try something so desperate? It's been a pleasant suprise that Fox has done as well as he has around the field, but catching is a much more critical position than all of those and it's by far the one he is worst at. As bad as Hill is at the plate he makes up for it as a catcher given that the rest of the lineup is doing just fine.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    True, though Welly is really, REALLY bad.

    Uh, Soto didn't die. When he's back he hits #7. Problem solved. With the pitching injuries cropping up it's best not to waste whatever limited trading resources the Cubs by acting like the #8 hitter is a spot that desperately needs to be fixed. They need to either trade for a starter or trade for a lefty reliver to get Marshall back into the rotation. Anyone with an ounce of brain matter would refuse to use Fox behind the plate unless they absolutely had to.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Slow down.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    We need Soto back more than anything. Get him back and he's healthy and he's batting 7 and that is tasty. At that point Fontenot/Baker can do whatever they want in the 8 slot.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Damn, he's frustrating at hell, but I love how amped Bradley gets. He almost snapped Fontenot in half with that high five after scoring.
