  1. He refused to take his position. I can't recall another player ever doing that. Yes, he finally went to left and found out it wasn't so bad. But, a player refusing to go to the position the manager assigned him to offends me.
  2. Zambrano is more likely to implode after a passed ball than Wells. Can Fox be much worse than Mike Piazza catching wise?
  3. The Cubs have been afraid to move him out of the leadoff spot since he's been here. They've put up with what looks like a lack of hustle. Of course he expects preferential treatment.He's been getting it. When teams pay that much money,a different set of standards are applied to certain players as long as they perform. You can defend him if you want,but i've always felt he was a primadonna. Remember with Washington when he refused to play left field?
  4. You can't sit the guy after a two hit game
  5. Lou can't wait to get Ramirez back so Fox can go back to the bench. Many would suggest left field but we have to get Fonzie his at bats.
  6. Wasn't McGehee a player/coach at AAA ?
  7. So why was this necessary? It wasn't. Because Soriano was involved I misinterpreted the comments as people defending him as opposed to the actual play.
  8. I have no idea. Cameron did a heck of a job just getting into the vicinity of that ball. It should have been a hit. The ball that almost hit Milton in the face a couple days ago was ruled a double, but Cameron gets that ruled an error. Just another reason why errors are a mostly worthless stat for outfielders. Cameron should have caught it. He got to a ball that most wouldn't of got to, but he still missed it. Giving him an error could be considered as penalizing him for some great range, but it is a play he should have made. Bradleys should have been an error.
  9. You can quit your crying now, they ruled it a hit
  10. With Fox in a crouched stance, it was at the letters. When he stood up, it was at the belt.
  11. It's what smart managers do. no,its what scared managers do
  12. playing the right/righty percentage
  13. He did freeze. He did a 180 ,saw Hardy catch the ball and dove back.
  14. If Fontenot was close enough to second to get back,no way he would have scored if it got through
  15. The umps missing a great game here
  16. There's no such thing. How about the lack of hitting with RISP ?
  17. Are you talking about Soriano or Fuld? Soriano and Bradley actually So games are being sacrificed if Sam Fuld does not start? No,but Soriano in the lineup when hes not hitting doesn't help
  18. He has definetely been pressing,new team,big contract,slow start,struggling at home,batting 3rd, etc. Going to Pittsburgh and dropping down in the lineup was helpful though.
  19. Are you talking about Soriano or Fuld? Soriano and Bradley actually
  20. You can't sacrifice games to get one or two guys at bats
  21. Because people are taking it to ridiculous levels. I think 8 years 136 million was/is a ridiculous level ....
  22. Wow, Fuld has played in 2 games, how do you know he's not a .550 OPS major league player that pitchers haven't figured out yet? Tuffy Rhodes hit 3 HRs on Opening Day 1994, how did that work out for him? How about staying with the hot bat?
