What will it take to get Soriano out of the leadoff spot?
Sammy Sofa replied to rynefan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If someone says Theriot should be there instead, punches will be thrown. -
I'm a little surprised that I've read people here complaining about the Cubs swinging at first pitches last night. If anything, they didn't do it enough. I counted at least a dozen 1st pitch fastballs that Webb tossed that basically went right down the middle...exactly like the scouting report says about him. After that, he keeps it low and almost unhittable. Waiting was going to accomplish nothing against a pitcher as a good as him, especially when guys like Lee, Aramis and DeRosa have excellent 1st pitch hit numbers this year.

Just heard on WEEI Boston - Bartman invited to sing
Sammy Sofa replied to nufced's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I would love to see him get to do it if the Cubs win a WS in his lifetime. He deserved none of the crap he's had hurled at him and I think it would be a great little gesture to put those championship-less years behind the whole general image of the team. If they win it this year, he should be tossing out the first pitch the first game of next season. -
I love how in all the Cubs' dramatic wins this season he always, without fail, has the best poses and facial expressions in the photos taken.
-
I agree that DeRosa was never a "goat." Obviously, people didn't love him like they do now and few thought he would do this well, but I don't really recall people bemoaning his place on this team a la Neifi...THAT'S a goat.
-
The first one is amazing and I don't think could be any more relevant right now.
-
There is very little doubt in my mind that this is the Brewer's division for the next several years. The Brewers dont' have the pitching to win the division. The Brewers have a very good and very cheap core of their team that they can easily build off of.

Cubs vs. Diamondbacks Pre Series Discussion Thread
Sammy Sofa replied to UMFan83's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
If we win game 1, we still need to win games 2 and 3. -
Or, as we saw tonight, the course of a game.
-
I think they'd need even more cameras. That final slide apparently only had 2 angles, neither of which were definitive either way.
-
That's what he kept saying in the interview - that he got his hand stepped on. Could just be saying the 'right' thing.... Looking at the two angles, I really think he got his hands under Barrett's foot, either pushing his way under or as Barrett was moving his own foot back. Watch the backstop angle...Barrett's foot moves back over/along the plate. The 3rd base angle shows Holliday's fingers wedged against/under Barrett's shoe the entire time he is moving forward and past the plate. It's not clear, but putting the two angles together I think he would have at least gotten the plate with a few fingertips.
-
They only have 2 angles of the slide...the one from the backstop shows that Holliday's hand slams into Barrett's foot and Barrett's foot backs up over the plate, but Holliday's hand is obscurred. If his hand is pushing Barrett's foot back like it looks like, it very likely touches the plate. Both angles suck.
-
He must have really been rattled up on the slide...he didn't even move towards the plate to make sure he got it.
-
Between the blown homerun call earlier and the way Hoffman was getting teed off of, I figure that final call was just baseball's way of balancing things out.
-
GEOVANY SOTO.
-
Thank God we have such a phenom in Prior. I think he can go 110-120 pitches EASY if we need him to. RIDE THAT HORSE!!!
-
Poor Barrett.
-
Damn, Hawkins still has the heat. Dusty wasted him so badly.

Your second favorite National League team
Sammy Sofa replied to OleMissCub's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Don't have one. That said, so long as it's not the Cardinals or Astros, I'll root for the NL team in the WS. In 2005 I basically pretended the world didn't exist. -
I hope they keep him for a least a few years. I smell a Dusty a-brewin'.
-
So, in short, the key is to sweep the damn series.
-
Wow, the quality of that pic is amazing. It almost looks staged.
-
It lasted until about 6:30. Felix looked like he couldn't wait to get back to the hotel...though like Len and Bob said, Fontenot seemed to enjoy his a little too much...
-
Hmmm, interesting, that curve wasn't a strike 3 for Rich last inning, blue.
-
Wow, great play by Phillips.
