    Why only the Houston series?
  2. Sammy Sofa
    I agree that it was a good pitch to hit, but the completely wrong person in that situation to hit it.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    Thank God for speed.

    OMG 1ST PITCH STRIKE FTW
  5. Sammy Sofa
    Wow, what a no-doubter.

    Cubs up 2-1 against the Dodgers in the bottom of the 7th with the bases juiced and 2 outs....Theriot due up...if only he had a SS who has had awesome success with bases loaded this season...if only...

    This game reeks of a briefly awake and then comatose Cubs' offense. I hope I'm wrong.

    YOU KNOW MY LEEZ. Thank you, wind.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    Love it when the entire infield gets in on a rundown.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    So I suppose you're a big supporter of frostwyrm's "trade Lee" idea?
  11. Sammy Sofa
    I'm not sure why you think he'll be an acceptable at 1B anymore than people think he's unacceptable anywhere else right now. If his defense/injuries gets worse but he can still hit in a few years, the best option is likely to try and trade him to the AL as a DH and eat a chunk of the salary. I think he'd be a MUCH worse 1st baseman than an OFer. What makes you think he couldn't be a decent 1B? He has plenty of experience on the right side of the infield and he's a good athlete when healthy. It doesn't seem like the kind of position for someone with leg issues or apparently trepedation about colliding with something else to thrive.

    Sadly, I think we'll keep saying that for a little while longer.

    True, but it makes me worry less seeing the other road records around baseball right now. At this time last year, road teams were 341-386. That's a winning percentage of .469. This year, road teams are 321-437. That's a winning percentage of .423. The Cubs definitely need to play better on the road, but so do most of the teams in the league. Last year at this time, Milwaukee's road record was good for 12th out of 16 teams in the NL. The Cubs road record, albeit slightly worse than Milwaukee's last year at this point, is 7th best. OK, that makes it less worrisome. Nice post. It's getting pretty dark and cloudy out...

    The home vs. road records are more than a little worrisome. Stinking on the road is one of the main things that killed the Brewers last year.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    He's an even worse 2nd baseman. I agree that he's looked awful out there, but along the lines of what CM is pointing out, to describe last two seasons as an OFer as being defensively "awful" doesn't seem to match reality.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Hah! So awesome.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    That easily makes it more frustrating...it's not like a lot of the other bust closers this year, who have been shaky or worse in most of their appeaances, even when they get the save...those other 18 games, he pretty much looks like one of the most dominant bullpen arms in the game.

    If Dempster can get a long win, he is a god.

    Dude loves his hit and runs and worthless steals when the heart of the lineup is up.

    Lou is batting Johnson 5th today and Fukudome 6th.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Great minds of science will still be trying to determine the answer to that final question centuries from now.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Wait...what? Why is Johnson batting 5th?
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Wood needs to stop hitting the first batter. It's ridiculous/frustrating how he has such a clear pattern of that occuring and then a bad outing. If he doesn't hit the batter, he's almost certainly out of the inning with little to no problem. At this point, if he hits the first batter and Marmol, Wuertz or Howry are available, Lou needs to have one of them start warming up ASAP. It's too obvious a recurring and specific warning sign.
