The 2006 Cardinals were not a fluke. -
Just like the miraculous comeback by the Astros in '05, the Cubs should not make their decisions based on how they compare to what the Cardinals were like last year. Why not? Basing plans off of world champions and practically yearly division champions is bad? Hoping to emulate lucky flukes is poor planning. The Cubs should try and build a 90+ game winner that is capable of 100 wins, not a team that might squeek by if things go their way. I think Cubs fans are the only fans that perceive the Cards as a lucky franchise. Give them some respect already.

Makes me feel better that no matter what, tomorrow is Rich Hill day.

Now we're comparing baseball to the weather?

He's been great this year.

the best buy ad behind home gives me bad vibes. I hate best buy.

So, basically, if we aren't the runaway best team we should just wrap it up and play kids? Playing Murton is not wrapping it up. He's as good as Floyd and Jones, at least, and should get better. None of the Cubs OF is an ideal OF, they need all of them to produce if they hope to succeed. I would say if we are CLEARLY not a top ten team then I would say there is no reason to play a past prime player over a player who is major league ready. Did you think the Cardinals were a top ten team in your head, say, August 1st of 06?

Ok, take these umpires out back and put them down. If I was playing poker with these guys I'd have left a while ago.

not for sure, soriano has a pretty good arm. it's not like juan pierre's rag arm out there. You're assuming he reads the ball off the bat and gets behind his throw like Pie was able to, though. I really dont think he gets that out.
-
He's only an inch taller than me. :P Otis89 is tall. Heath Bell is a big guy.
-
We all realize we'd be down a run with Soriano out there right? I don't know what I think about that.

Better bench Murton forever, then! Stop being dramatic. I'm just saying, through what I've seen of the season, Floyd's been a better player. And we NEED to win right now, not play Murton for the heck of it. You disagree with either of those statements? There don't seem to be many people who think we can win this year. Everyone is like "Floyd is old, what happens then?" Right now, Floyd is producing, Murton isn't. In this weak division, anyone can win, and as last year showed, all you need to do is make the playoffs and then ANYTHING can happen. Thank you!
-
You know that was a really, really good throw.
-
No way I take Theriot out of the lineup for Murton at this point. Or in July.
-
See? Pie for RF.

NAILED
