  1. We can't bunt...can't run the bases...gads...
  2. Thank you. I've been saying this for months, but most Cubs fans are so loyal to Derrek Lee that they refuse to accept that he is anything but perfect... maybe for what he did in 2005 or because of his troubles last season, who knows? See, I never fall in love with players, so I don't feel guilty about criticizing them at any time. Anyway, I totally agree. Almost every single one of his at-bats are like reruns of the previous ones. But you can't ever say that, or Cubs fans will jump all over you. And as I type this, Lee hits a home run... but I still stand by my argument. Wait, have you ignored all the other threads about this exact same topic on this board? The issue of Lee's AB's have been discussed here so much that this thread is totally redundant.
  3. Doing the math and figuring out those HR totals makes me a saaaaaaaad panda.
  4. ? I am also a Pence. Are you his actual cousin or are you just saying that since you have the same last name? 2nd cousin. He actually has posted on here, but got banned. For what? Please do that more often, Lee.
  5. I am not confident about this team playing any other NL Central teams except the Brewers and the Cardinals, and that's scary.
  6. No thanks. Ohman can usually at least get lefties out. Cotts was just terrible all around.
  7. As it's been pointed out, Marmol really only has two pitches. That doesn't bode too well for turning him into a starter.
  8. I mentioned this earlier in the season and I believe I was shown that he typically averages around 100 k's a season.
  9. Late?!? It was only midnight! Get back out there!
  10. I thought I heard Len & Bob say it was already planned for Murton to start tomorrow so Soriano could sit.
  11. The stretch is not our thing. The stretch is done across baseball. The Cubs choose to make it stupid. And they've used several opposing announcers and opposing team affiliated people who regularly throw-in the visiting teams name. The strech is more popular with the Cubs because of Harry, and then the celebrity thing.(whether people think it is stupid or not). I don't see the big deal about booing Uecker. But even Harry didn't start it with the Cubs; he started it while he was with the White Sox. Sl although the guest singer may be a Cubs' tradition, the idea of singing in the first place isn't. Exactly. And as "lovable" as the guy was, it's annoying as all get out that the identity of this team is so largely defined by Harry-freakin'-Caray. The Stretch is so far from being some kind of "sacred tradition" it's not even funny.
  12. My seats were right past the Brewer's dugout, towards the front, so I had a great view of Hill the whole night and he looked fantastic, especially in those first two innings! Thankfully, the Cubs decided to finally give him a little run support.
  13. If I had to guess, I'd say Uecker probably wasn't surprised by it or even really cared.
  14. Howry thinks the fan that charged him on the mound earlier this year was just coming out to give him a big hug.
  15. Please, please, please, PLEASE forget that last start against the Brewers, Rich. Please remember you guys are the hitting anchors of this team, Lee and Ramirez. Please come busting out of the gate, Soriano. Please win, Cubs.
  16. At the same time, one would hope a new GM would realize that Wood and Prior are two completely different people, Prior is still pretty damn young, and he pitched very well in 2004 and 2005.
  17. Well, Hill is on the mound so the Cubs anemic offense will just continue. Though seriously, I'm glad we have these 3 pitchers going against the Brewers. This series needs to light a fire under everyone's butts. Wow, based on the numbers I hope Pie gets the start in CF with Jacque in RF.
  18. Oh yeah he was aweosme there. 4 baserunners that inning. if it wasnt the cubs and their lack of fundamental ability he loses. I was just admiring his crazy eyes, not his pitching. Settle down there, McBuzzkill.
  19. Don't agree, not that I'm in love with Lou like some are. However, what a terrible decision Lou made the right decisions in that AB (first bunting, and then starting the runners with a full count). Blame Kendall's execution, but not Lou's managing. I am in heaven this year after Dustys regime. I dont sit there and go WTF anymore. Losses like this don't scream out for a "WTF?!?!" How many times do we see these dopes score all their runs in the first third of a game, often in the first inning, and then the bats go completely quiet for the rest of it? WTF indeed. Thank God we have Soriano coming back and thank God we have a day off for these mutts to lick their wounds.
  20. His crazy eyes got even crazier! That guy rules!
  21. He's gonna try and golf out a low and inside pitch.
  22. There's no way Jacque hits it out of the infield.
