  1. Then why was everyone soo upset when Neifi and Izturis went 1-2 in the lineup last year? If it wouldn't matter if they batting 7th 8th, or 1-2, I don't see what the uproar was all about. Because by having Neifi and Izturis at 1-2 you are giving them more ab's than what they would get if they were batting 7-8. So lineup construction does matter...similarly...I've got to think that, with all respect to Mr. James, the pitches that Lee/Soriano/Ramirez sees (with one or two other power bats behind him) are much better than they'd be if it was Ramirez followed by the pitcher, or some other non-hitter...Maybe its just me, but I think lineup construction does matter.... Yep this is what I said earlier. The first post in all these quotes said "barring extreme examples." I'd say putting two guys who would likely be the worst hitters on almost any MLB team, Neifi and Izturius, would be an "extreme example."
  2. Build an ark.
  3. Jones: "Hey, we won, I'm happy." Murton: "Me too." Murton: "This guy from the interweb is stalking me." Jones: "That sucks." "Hey, Jacque! Y'know that guy Chad Kroeger? Rub whatever body part most reminds of you of him all over me!"
  4. Theriot has sent the grit and hustle levels through the roof.
  5. Great. No Cubs games for 2 days and my basement storage area is probably going to flood. Awesome. Thanks, God.
  6. Meh. I just want him back in the lineup. Bat Theriot #2 and win games. Can you please shrink that damn sig?
  7. There is no game status right now. It's raining too hard for them to play and will continue to do so for the next long while still. Cool. what is the score, inning, game sit when the rain came, how did the Cubs and Cards seem to be doing etc. I'm asking this out of curiosity and not being a jerk...do you not have access to Gameday?
  8. No. You already had jinxed it. Pretty sure something one person says over the internet is relayed to Zambrano via the bat signal making him give up a hit. :) Thank you. I always wondered why no one seemed to know that not talking about it only really applies to the people actually in the dugout. Yeah, nobody "knew" that it didn't really do anything. Thank God you guys are here to wise us all up.
  9. Yeah, because we were in real danger of you never posting again.
  10. I wouldn't know. I hate football. I used to like it before it was crammed down our throats. 40 years ago? Nah this is the first year I really seemed to notice it never left sportscenter. Between TO and Michael Vick and Pacman Jones and Tank Johnson. Just go away. NFL Live is on all year, is Baseball Tonight? Well, it's not like those stories that sports channels and programs would or even should ignore.
  11. I wouldn't know. I hate football. I used to like it before it was crammed down our throats. 40 years ago?
  12. OH MY GOD RYAN THERIOT AND JACQUE JONES DIDN'T GET HITS OFF OF A GUY IN THE 1ST INNING HE MUST BE TEH PITCHING GOD OK BYE.
  13. Wow, Z fooled the ump like crazy with that strike 3 on Pujols.
  14. Is there anything easily viewed by everyone else in the world with an internet connection that you DON'T give PBP on?
  15. Who knows, if Theriot continues to be good and Murton finally gets the chance to be a consistent producer, we could be looking at a couple halfway decent positional players from our system for the first time in forever. Does Murton really count since he came from the Red Sox system in the Nomar deal?
  16. What's the big mystery? It's Sammy-syndrome. The guy almost gets drilled in the head, it spooks him, and ever since them he's swinging wide and standing a bit more off the plate. Maybe he gets over it...maybe he doesn't. I don't see it as anything that can really be "fixed" by anyone else except Lee. Even when he was hitting like he was before the incident with the Padres I still wanted the Cubs to go out and sign more of an impact #3 hitter after the season.
  17. According to weather.com, it is apparently "t-storming" every hour of the day, even though it is not at the moment and hasn't been for a few hours. There is supposed to almost certainly be rain "tonight," but when exactly is "tonight?" Evening? Primetime? Overnight?
  18. I'd flip Lee and Soriano. And trade Jock in the off season. Let his his hopefully continuing hot streak net us something nice in return.
  19. Radar showing a huge, hugly system bearing down on Chicago that'll probably with within a couple hours...it might end up helping that they don't start until 3. though the weather report between now and Tuesday seems like on and off rain. Blech.
  20. I wonder where the other 22 crash?
  21. I actually wept for the ball and the ball's mourning family when I heard the sound of bat crash into it. My God.
