Jacque to the Fish
Sammy Sofa replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Maybe he just wallowed in pies and tears over the last 2 weeks. -
Thursday. Along with the rest of the team. Then hopefully they win the first two games of this series and Lee can get an extra day off.
-
He's consistently been the one that seems to be most effected negatively by the cooler weather, so his slow start power-wise happening during an extended chilly spring seems about right.
-
Is there any chance Lee gets a day off soon?

Lou Pinella, What the hell are you doing?
Sammy Sofa replied to Keener98's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Chill? I dont see anybody thats having a raging fit, just some questioning of some pretty dumb moves. Right. They are the hottest team in baseball and we are picking apart every little mistake. Good news is that we might only get to do that a total of 70 or so times this season. My point is that you should go and find a manager who doesn't make this sort of mistake every now and again over 162 games. I don't think its been a consistent issue. Most of the things brought up in this thread have been consitent issues. -
Lou Pinella, What the hell are you doing?
Sammy Sofa replied to Keener98's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'm confused...you correctly acknowledge that Wuertz didn't throw that many pitches, but then inexplicably say he's out for 3-4 days. Was he throwing a bowling ball? Lou makes some dumb moves, but I don't see why Wuertz couldn't go after 2 days off, or even after 1 day off if it's an emergency. -
Where's BudHouse's hysterical thread about "sham closer" Carlos Marmol?
-
Looked safe to me there, but when I was in the bathroom right after, Pat and Ron were talking on the radio about how when they looked at the replay, it looked like Soto missed or was blocked from the plate.
-
Just stop posting.

Dogs are howling and then dropping dead all over the city.
-
Damn, Lee and Aram wanna go yard so bad.
-
Gallgher has looked pretty good today...his array of pitches is very impressive. Less walks = more gooder, of course, but more than a few of those balls have been real borderline pitches that a more established pitcher would likely have called in his favor. He's not looking wild at all.
-
BAD. ASS.
-
GET THAT BUM OFF OF THIS TEAM. SHAM HITTER.
-
Heh, Sean still listed at 235 pounds.
-
Nice snag, Sean!
-
Come on, Sean.
-
SOOOOOOTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
-
Damn, Lee just got under that one. Incredible...I don't WANT Theriot to do bad, and thankfully he's now on 3rd, but he's likely out if that throw is on.
-
winner Yeah, it's nuts, but for that lineup, you live with it. Soriano is going to suck the last few years of his contract no matter what.
-
Based on what? Based on trying to scrape together $13M to give to Holliday. No, what are you basing the idea of a cap that tight on the Cubs' spending? I hear lots of hypotheticals based on the sale, but nothing that really says that they cannot spend any mony or what their limits are at any given moment based on the circumstances. If trading for Holliday (which won't ever happen) was going down while the Cubs were still in first and have a serious chance of going to to the big show, the money would be magically "found." The Cub aren't going to become less profitable by winning more.

Like the Cardinals, it would be insane if their pitching held up over the course of the season to keep them in serious contention. Their offense is surprising, bt it wouldn't be nearly as surprising if Tejada comes back down to Earth (and given how few walks he's taken, that seems all but inevitable) and Berkman cools off.
-
tell fukudome sorry for breaking our promise and put him in centerfield. Or, Soriano could still cover enough ground in CF to not be a liability. He tweaked his leg hopping in LF. I don't need to see him diving for balls in CF. He tweaked his leg. It happen to be with a hop, but it's not like an injury like that one wasn't going to happen if he didn't hop. It just happened to be at that moment. Like it's been pointed out, it's not like the difference between CF and LF is a vast one. And hell, to get Holliday onto the team, I'd even consider moving Soriano back to 2nd for a season or two. Gonzo idea, sure, but man, that lineup is delicious.

Dempster's performance should in no way keep the Cubs from doing what they can to make a significant upgrade to the starting rotation. Personaly, I think if you want to have a real postseason shot, you need 2 reliable, dominant pitchers that you can hinge those final series on if need be...and right now, the Cubs only have one. Even if Lilly keeps doing well and Dempster does well all year and even Hill comes back strong, I'd have no problem with the Cubs trading some of their better/best prospects to get a sure thing starter at the deadline.
