    DEFENSE saves the day!
  2. A New Era
    And it's bad defense that started this terrible inning. Granted marquis wasn't able to pitch out of it yet. But he was robbed 1 out. maybe 2.
  3. A New Era
    CF - Pie That's all you need to know. Yeah!

    Really? Maybe the routes he runs in LF arent the prettiest but he sure does gun down runners at the plate and can gun people trying to leg out a double really well. I though all his assist last year might of been a fluke. I dont see it that way anymore. I'd say his fielding and arm pretty much offset each other to the point that he's okay in LF. Very good? No. That little freakin hop he does before every catch is gonna give me a heartattack. He is just ok. Great arm, decent range, but not what it should be for his speed. Strong arm. ACCURATE arm. Maybe not the range it should be. But what is his fielding percentage in LF so far this year? And how many catches can you count up that you thought he SHOULD have gotten? I didn't notice too many myself. But I'm just an average cubs fan that just watches the game. Adding to that, if you've got Soriano in LF (GOOD) and Pie in CF (GREAT) I think you can focus on getting a really good RF at the deadline or offseason. And that would be a very good outfeild, much improved defensively than we had shuffling everyone around earlier this year. And the thing is, if he's just average in LF, how much worse will he be in the supposedly hard to play wrigely RF?

    I expect Pie to be in the line-up today. Hitting 2nd, 8th, doesn't matter. Just in the line-up. This quite probably is foolish optimism on my part but, I believe a 1-4 of Soriano, Pie, Lee and Ramirez is going to start clicking. Such a 1-4 just seems like the right combination. I personally think just adding some damn consistancy to the positional players can help tremendously. IE: Soriano is your LF, Pie is your CF, and you stick them there. Now we have 3 constantly rotating positions instead of 4. (RF, 2B, SS). I agree with you but I think Soriano is better served in RF. We just don't have the personnel to play RF right now. Murton and FLoyd can't play RF and Jones' arm is terrible. I think Soriano is very good in LF. I'd be ok to try it but if everything is clicking with Pie in CF I'd prefer to leave it alone. And actually look for a RF at the trade deadline. Feeling free to move Jones, Murton, Floyd and pursuit of a good RF.

    Since Lou said I expect Pie to be in the line-up today. Hitting 2nd, 8th, doesn't matter. Just in the line-up.

    This reminds me. I haven't watch ESPN but it makes me giddy inside that the yankee's suck so much this year that ESPN has to be hurting inside. :lol:
  10. A New Era
    please Lou, PLEASE!!! I posted that as a reminder. I might even keep it in the signature. What I mean is, since Lou said that. He BETTER do it.
  11. A New Era
    Is that a pumped-up period? Woah. I guess yur right. :wink: http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m277/charladury/hanz_franz.jpg
  12. A New Era
    I want to see 8 wins followed by 8 losses. I'm prepared for that.
  13. A New Era
    That will be when ESPN loses the very little credibility it still has. Yeah but only to us smart baseball fans. All of the dumb dumbs that watch ESPN won't know who the heck Neifi is anyway. .
  14. A New Era
    I don't wanna sound like an ass, but you really shouldn't just start a thread because you "would like to". There is a set list on there. You should try and make sure to not miss your start when it comes. According to the list, you are currently up. Whether that is referring to today's game or tomorrow's isn't really clear but you haven't exactly explained it either. Missed it. Was battling stopping smoking. Sorry if I couldn't be there. The Cubs are going to win or lose based on how they play. Not if I make a thread or not.
  15. A New Era
    Nothing's worked out yet. All I know is I would like to start today. I missed my last start, never once "spot started" and it's been over a year since I got to do this. And it's my turn.
  16. A New Era
    Well in my mind Derwood took MY win. So there ya go. :lol:

  18. A New Era
    What Lou did was entirely necessary.
  19. A New Era
    Soriano hit a triple with no outs and people find a way to complain about it. :roll:
  20. A New Era
    Yeah I like Pie.
  21. A New Era
    Pie needs to be the CF, peroid. We need some consistancy in the OF, (and the IF too, to a degree). Guys need to be given time to settle into their roles. Trade jones and have a floyd/muton platoon the way I see it.
  22. A New Era
    You guys are still torturing yourselfs watching this crap? How do you do it?
  23. A New Era
    OMG "STAY THE COURSE"!! I HATE that saying. :lol:
  24. A New Era
    Yeah this is how I try to feel before I get sucked in. I try not to get too involved. But you know deep down it dissapoints you just as much when they lose.
  25. A New Era
    are we doing them "premium sweep" again?
