2-0 Milwaukee on an Estrada double -
At times in 2003 I wondered why Prior wasn't hitting 7th or 8th.

No kidding, that was my first reponse as well. How stupid can you get? -

Wow. -
What an idiot I am!!

Seriously, let's just condense the entire freaking board into one thread.
-
Yes. I know. Thanks for letting me know something else I've read 20 times. How about discussing how a 390K player is the best run producer on a 100M ball club? Your point was that he should be starting. Other threads have said he WILL be starting. Fair enough. Maybe my point should have been he should have been starting in 2005, and handed the job in the offseason instead of comitting to DeRosa. Better?

Sigh. I know. Thanks for letting me know there's other parts of this website. My point is that Theriot's run production has not been discussed as much as defensive liability. The fact remains this guy may be our biggest run producer outside of the obvious DLee or aRam. His runs scored only tell you that he gets on a lot, and has been in the 1 or 2 spot every day he's played (with the biggest RBI threats right behind him). Plus he has been used as a pinch runner several times, which don't give him an at-bat but sometimes a run scored. Theriot probably should have actually scored more runs then he has-he hasn't been good on the basepaths so far. I just think its ridiculous that a 390K player is outproducing half the team. It just cant be ignored, and I don't think its a fluke either. We sign Soriano with the intention to play CF, he isn't. We sign DeRosa with the intention to play 2B, he shouldn't be. Where's the faith in our system?

This has nothing to do with whether he should play SS specifically.

In 2006, Theriot recorded (only) 134 AB's - in which he scored 34 runs. This is a percentage of 25.3%. That means every fourth time Ryan even stepped foot in the batters box, he came around to score. So far this year, in 56 AB's, Theriot has recorded 10 runs for a percentage of 18%. (Even in 13 2005 AB's, 3 runs) So in all his major league time - Ryan scores 23% of the time he even comes to the plate. Am I the only one that finds that stat incredibly encouraging? And more then enough of a reason to find a spot for the kid to play?
-
He handles balls real well. Well, when you play that hard, it happens.
-
I just don't want to hear any argument against why Theriot shouldn't be the starting SS right now. Yea, it's not the ideal situation. But for RIGHT NOW? There's no argument. None.
-
Tomorrow's an offday. Which just proves all the more that if they do tank, this win will be meaningless. SIGH. The day AFTER tomorrow then. Thank you for checking my homework, mom.
-
Not to be negative, but this win means nothing if we turn around and tank tomorrow.
-
Myself, this board, and most Cub fans I know all have different opinions on what not do do, but one thing we agree on is that playing a tape of Harry each day would be perfect. Im tired of the embarassing performances.

Dear Albert, I hate you for not only ruining our real team from time to time, but our fantasy teams as well.
-
I think he always looks on the verge of tears. He has sad eyebrows. LOL
-
Dear Ted, Is it possible to show ANY emotion?
-
Dear Albert, Here's hoping you never regain your swing.
-
I know its cliche, but I just don't care about this. Send him to the glue factory already. He's done.
