    Wow, huge break.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    What are you guys talking about? I find this team incredibly offensive.
  3. Sammy Sofa
    From the Cubs.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    I don't care if the Cubs win this game 10-0 and Marshall pitches a no-no. They deserve scorn and mockery for their offense in that first inning.

    If there was any justice Lou would bench Jones for at least a game for such a blatantly stupid AB.
  7. Sammy Sofa
    Gotta. Won't.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Oh my God. This team is doomed.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    What the hell was that?!? Go sit down and you think about what you just did.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    Wow, I'll take an exhausted Astros bullpen for tomorrow for $500 please, Alex.

    Annnnnnnnnnnnd here comes the k and then the double play.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Oh man, so close in this softball league-looking field.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    Nice start, boys. I had no idea Woody was so old.

    Eric is just Corey with a clever disguise. DUM-DUM-DUMMMMMMMMMM!!!

    We wouldn't have to worry about the Sox. But the Nationals, the Dodgers, the Cardinals... yeah there are teams who would claim him before we had a shot. I don't see how our chances of Dunn are any better than hoping for the one card suckout. It's just very unlikely... I really like Dunn, but I guess I'm just not rating him as highly as others here. If the Reds and Cubs have an informal/formal agreement that's pretty clearly solid, I don't see other teams diving on Dunn. I could easily be wrong.

    What exactly is this in response to?
  17. Sammy Sofa
    He is starting to hit, but don't mention catching the ball or throwing out runners. Give him a break on that one too, I think. Needs some time to get used to the staff. Most of his throws to get runners aren't even close.

    Eric Patterson is our best hitter? Damn straight! Did you see that perfect sac last night? How did you get into the locker room?

    Hell, Tejada just did. I know Dunn is younger and cheaper, but I don't think it's completely impossible. And someone lumped Dunn in with all the others as a "miserable option?" Right. From what I understand, Tejada did not clear waivers, but was claimed from them by the White Sox. Right, but as bad as the Sox are, aren't there teams below them that could have put in a claim first? My point is that if the teams have a "gentleman's agreement," it seems unlikely that people just swoop in and bust up the deail unless it's some kind of superstar player.

    So is this your new "thing?"

    Stop trying to strike out every batter. so hill should stop having such a good curve ball, and zambrano should stop having so much movement on his pitches? those guys can't help it that they're high k pitchers (not that they should want to change it)...high k guys are going to get a lot of foul balls. Of course I'm not saying these guys should drop their best pitches, but there are plenty of times it seems like they want the k and nothing but the k and they give up foul after foul and rack up a ton of high pitch battles...and it's hardly exclusive to Hill or Zambrano. Like I said, this has been the Cubs' SOP since Wood fanned 20. They seem to instill the thinking in their starters that they need to go after the k no matter what. I'm obviously not saying that they shouldn't strike batters out, but to me it seems like I've been seeing Cubs starters seemingly avoid trying to get any kind of out but the k for the better part of a decade now...and what have we gotten? Tons of walks of handed out and overworked pitchers. Grand. Sometimes they need to just need to try and put the ball in play.

    I just tossed my cookies and I am unable to re-vote. I am, however, very tired and thirsty.

    Stop trying to strike out every batter. This organization has been obsessed with the k being the ultimate out every since Wood's big game in '98. Having Maddux back had its ups and downs, but damn, it was refreshing to see a pitcher who wasn't afraid to put the ball in play for an out.

    I'd plead innocent if I were him. I don't know. Maybe he's tweaking their approach or something and the result will be a better hitter in the long term (with the power back), but for whatever reason it's sapping power right now. Nothing scientific behind the idea, just a thought that seemed to make a little sense. I'm completely at a loss as to why the HR's are suddenly down so much. OK, Lee is coming off a wrist injury and Floyd's getting old and Soriano is streaky...but Jacque only has 2? Barrett was way off his mark when he was here, too. Coming into this year, HR's were the one aspect of hitting I wasn't worried about and now they worry me the most. Actually, Barrett was on pace for a new career high IIRC. But I agree that homers concered me the least this year and instead, the lack of them has become the biggest problem for this offense. What's the most he's ever gotten in a season? Isn't it something like 18? Wow, I didn't know he got off to such a quick start.
