in one statistic (albeit an important one) How 'bout 6 of 14 in BA okay so now we're delving into the unimportant statistics. Shall we head along to stolen bases? I already did, in terms of unimportant, Henderson waves hello Did you just compare the Riot to Rickey Henderson? No i said SB was important. They're much less important now than they were in Ricky's heyday. The game is much more reliant on power now to advance and score runners. Because we all know the Cubs are leading the league in HR :roll: "Power" doesn't only mean home runs. And I'm not saying that stolen bases can't help the team from time time...you were stating that "SB are important" in terms of baseball in general, and they're not as important as they were when guys like Ricky were playing. Stolen bases should not be the major driving factor for a player to be signed/traded for/drafted/assigned playing time/etc..

Scoring estimates? Seriously, unless Marquis pulls out a miracle like he did in the series with the Brewers, we're likely getting absolutely murdered tonight, even if the bats switch back on. I say Cubs lose, 9-5. -

Best post of the thread. Lock it up.

We're screwed. That is not a guy whose endorsement I want. We'll be in last place within a month thanks to his reverse-logic.

I like. It's sad that we do have in house solutions for 3 of our 4 holes, but Soto, Murton and Pie won't get any regular time for some reason. No kidding. For the first time in forever we HAVE the solution to some of our problems and we're letting them waste away on the bench/in AAA Which is why I wouldn't be so frustrated with the idea of staying/standing pat if they showed even just an iota of interest in playing those guys.

Crud. Night games when I have the day off stink.
-
On what date will the Cubs be in first place?

Never. -
I demand the slaughter rule ahead of time just to save everyone the evening. I'm willing to sacrifice Marquis to the gods if necessary. The OLD gods.
-
Crap, Marquis goes tomorrow. Hope we can split the series.
-
Ah, good ol' heart attack Demp.
-
DAS RIOT.
-
Cubs trying their damndest to hurt every Philly player on the field tonight.
-
I've done that running...loose footing and then your other leg just comes down flat with your entire body on top of it. Hurts a LOT.
-
Ouch...his leg just went right out from under him.
-
Meeting on the mound: "Can you believe these guys are pinch hitting with CEDENO?!?" "Yeah, it's hilarious...anyone talk to Sutcliffe about where we can go and get some play after the game?"
-
Oh man, Cole vs. Cedeno...this isn't going to be pretty.
-
Phillies fear Murton's arm, for it has been forged by the mighty lightning of Zeus!
-
10 pitches or less this time, Lilly.
-
Hallowed be his name?
-
Murton strikes out swinging, but the breeze from that swing will spread to the Atalantic ocean and will gently push ashore a sinking ship filled with Peace Corp volunteers.
-
Murton actually had the eyes of an eagle surgically implanted.
-
Murton is going to float to the batter's box.
-
OK, only 5 pitches less than Lilly. Lock it down, Ted.
-
Great, what is that, 7 or 8 pitches so far?
