    Another gritty groundout.
  2. RegulusBlue
    He most certainly will. The problem is that he'll do it less than our other players. A lot less. We're "hiding" our worst player in the leadoff spot and the most important defensive position on the diamond.
  3. RegulusBlue
    LOL, he is the worst player on the roster.
  4. RegulusBlue
    Nevermind.
  5. RegulusBlue
    This is a K. Book it.
  6. RegulusBlue
    Lots of support in this thread, by the way. Congratulations.

    I'm pretty sure that Theriot is going to prove me right before very long. He's just not a good baseball player at this level. If we miss the playoffs by a game, and he bats leadoff the whole time, I am willing to bet he'll have a lot to do with it. Season Theriot Prediction: .272/.325/.340 high end .268/.308/.320 middle .262/.298/.300 end of the world I'm rooting for the last one simply so we can unload him from that leadoff spot sooner. Update: Weak grounder to end the inning on 4/3 with bags juiced. Nice.

    This guy is a bum. I don't hate him, but he has no business batting leadoff for a team with playoff designs. You could make an argument that he would have no place in that lineup, either.
  9. RegulusBlue
    Theriot gets a hit. Prolonging our misery, I suppose. How many MVP votes is one hit worth?
  10. RegulusBlue
    If they turn into the old Cubs, they are in for a long [expletive] season.
  11. RegulusBlue
    0 for 6 now. How long can the out-streak go? I for one, am excited.
  12. RegulusBlue
    Theriot is out. ...weird. He sucks.
  13. RegulusBlue
    I hate that he admitted that his stats suck and claimed it as a badge of pride or some weird accomplishment right before the season. I hate that he has no power and doesn't take many walks. I hate that we have to have managers who make bad decisions automatically if the wrong players find their way on the roster. I hate that we're one SS away from a really good lineup, but we made no move to fix it, and we even bat our worst hitter first. The hate for Theriot is because between him and Lou, he's the movable piece, and a very easy solution to this crapfest. He sucks, ship him to AAA and never let us utter his name henceforth.
  14. RegulusBlue
    I am unhappy with Alf today, and he should never bat that high, IMO. However, history suggests he'll be fine. Statistics are not as kind to Ryan.
  15. RegulusBlue
    Theriot is a bottom 50 player in baseball and he gets more ABs than anyone else on our squad. Raise your hand if you like scrappy outs!
  16. RegulusBlue
    This guy is a cancer on our offense, and he ain't no Ozzie Smith either. He sucked last year, but leads off and starts this year. Dusty Baker:Neifi Perez::Lou Piniella:Ryan Theriot
  17. RegulusBlue
    Theriot is the worst player on our roster, yet he starts and leads off. Meanwhile, Murton is stuck in AAA. There's just no room for decent hitters.
  18. RegulusBlue
    I remember when everyone was up in arms about Bears Football presented by Bank One. No one even remembers that, other than the marketing guys who have richer pockets these days.
  19. RegulusBlue
    Let's just celebrate the last year of this douchebag's deal, and hope we never have to see him ever again. Hire DePodesta!
  20. RegulusBlue
    Incorrect. There may be no clutch, but there is choke. I would argue that you can fall apart under stress of a certain level as a baseball player, but usually those guys don't make it to the majors, so there aren't many to tell you about. Bill James misses two pretty important things in his meandering non-argument. First, most players have similar statistics in clutch and non-clutch situations, given enough tries. There is a skill level that a player will eventually regress/progress to after a large enough sample size. The other one is even easier. David Ortiz, or any other hitter known as 'clutch' does not become stronger, quicker, or faster when it "really matters". His body is his body from any random at-bat to the next. He is biologically the same being in April (disregarding age) as he is October, or on Friday as he is on Thursday. To suggest otherwise is to suggest that he only gets 100% of his ability in certain situations, which signifies a lack of effort during non-clutch situations.

    Someone please kill me. Why on earth would we unload a player that satisfies a weakness of our team, in addition to making so little money? They "still like" him? This GM is hurting the team, and no one who has any say seems to care at all. :-k I'm gonna lose my mind if we unload him for nothing and grab a LH RF for several million dollars to OPS .700 for us, all the while lauding the talents of the little SS who couldn't in Theriot. I'm getting to the point that I may have to abandon the Cubs to save my sanity. I came all the way out of baseball hibernation to see this quote. Can't say I wasn't warned.

    If it prevents Cuban from owning the Cubs, all the better. This man is much less than I thought he was. It will be harder to really love the Cubs, knowing the beliefs of this man. Simply read the details of the movie "Redacted". This is a vile film from a vile man who thinks he's operating in a vacuum. Pro or against war, this film will incite more violence against American military troops. I'm disgusted and sorry I ever considered this man, and I pray that any measure forces him out of the picture. Mark Cuban = Jane Fonda

    At least Murton gets to play once. Possibly the only positive in the series before we get smoked out of the playoffs.
  24. RegulusBlue
    We have no chance in this game. Webb will kill us. We are not smart enough to win this series, and neither is Lou.
  25. RegulusBlue
    Huh? What I'm saying is that we will miss the playoffs, and that Jacque Jones is singlehandedly nearly killing my joy in watching the cubs. Love the sweep to a 60 win team today. Lou is a horrid horrid manager, and he really showed it this week. Because we all know Jacque Jones is the lone reason we're playing like crap lately. Nice, I like how you read what I said and assumed I had a completely different objective. That's how arguments work, right? Of course JJ is not the only reason we are playing like crap. He is, however, a bad hitter (.275/.328/.386 on the season, buddy) having a worse year, and I have disliked his presence from day one. Thanks for playing.
