Crappy Gameday. It just said "in play, no outs recorded" and then it was suddenly a 2-run homer. That's probably because the ball hit the foul pole, bounced back onto the field of play and Pagan tried to pretend that the ball was still in play. Gotcha. Also according to Gameday, Pagan just had 4 pitches in a row over the heart of the plate, almost dead-center, pretty much the same spot each time, and he couldn't even buy himself a hit. Blech again. -
King Kaufman at Salon.com: Neifi Effect
Sammy Sofa replied to thedaymen's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
While I tire of the Neifi talk, this forum IS called "BASEBALL Discussions." -
Nah he just has no nuts. You'd think Z would share, you know, considering how big his are. And he has six of them.
-
Blech.

I guess Lee's gonna be #4 until he comes back fulltime.

Damn you!

Some of this gets old, really fast. Hendry and Baker get enough bashing in threads that deal with their moves and ideas. Bringing this crap into every [expletive] thread really isn't necessary or productive. [/rant] wow...someone needs to calm down. Someone needs to fix the broken record.

QFFT. He's so obviously not a "flash in the pan" talent. He is THAT good. You do what needs to be done to get him healthy again. Sadly, I have little faith in the current organization doing that. I'm just hoping and praying at this point that he's on point over the off season and he gets back into fighting form. There's little reason for him not to short of his arm falling off.
-
Exactly. It's gotten to the point that it almost seems like people want Prior to fail from here on out because of his previous DL stints so the Cubs can dump him as quickly as possible. There's not a person alive who is a Cubs fan that isn't incredibly let down with how his career has gone thus far, but the brushing him off already as a "wimp" or being "washed up" really is getting ridiculous.
-
So now Prior is being dismissed because he's maybe not as good/tough/crazy as Z. How inane. If the guy is physically unable to pitch, hey, that's it. If he can, he's without question one of the best pitchers out there. To dismiss him because of this year and write him off for good is absurd. And to blame him and him alone for Game 6 is also ridiculous. He was hardly the only one doing any "crumbling" out there. If he fails, he fails. If he comes back, we're sitting pretty. But trying to determine whether or not he has "stones" like Z is about as asinine a comparison or argument as one could find.
-
I would like to think Miller could put together some quality starts, re-sign on the VERY cheap, keep showing of he he still has something and end up being a money-saving quality option for the #4-#6 spot next year. But I'm a Cubs fan, and I know better.

I can only imagine Method Man's reaction to the news... "What th-?!? BLOOD CLOT?!?" *Rimshot*
-
Blood clots scare the hell out of me. Granted, Rusch was pretty far from the picture of health, but bad circulation can hit pretty much anyone. I take a couple of coated aspirin each day to try and keep things flowin' even with all the running and bike riding I do.

Has he really "figured it all out" since? AVG .312 | HR 17 | RBI 74 | OBP .372 | SLG .501 6 triples, VS. LEFT: .288 / .885 VS. RIGHT: .312 / .845 HOME: .312 / .893 AWAY: .302 / .820 He strikes out kkind of lot, but I'd say he's doing just fine Wow, I thought he was doing a lot worse than that this year. Serves me right for being too lazy to click my mouse a few times and look up his stats.

I have no desire to ever see him pitch as a Cub again but I somehow have even less desire to see this get any worse for him health-wise. It's always sounded like he's a great guy to have around the clubhouse and nobody deserves something this serious to happen to them no matter what our opinions are of them as a player. Get well soon, Glendon. I'm pulling for you.
-
I just broke out into a cold sweat thinking of him hurling those sidearm throws from the 3B side.
-
It would have been nice if he was still here and Walker was playing as the 2B/1B backup.
-
wounded crane BWAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAH!
-
On the one hand, this was a pretty impressive comeback win against a pretty good team. On the other hand, the fielding out there was some of the worst I've seen from baseball players of any age.
-
WHAT TH-?!?

Some fine managing going on tonight. I never doubted it.

Mateo in to run for Soto?

ARAMIS, END THIS!
