    Is Lou switching Alf and Theriot because Theriot has been bad or because Alf has been bad?

    I wouldn't go that far, yet. Well, they are. I've been saying that for awhile. They have an awesome leadoff man that should have a .400 OBP, 30 SB and 15-20 HRs at the end of the year. They have two hitters that will hit 40-50 HRs this year at 3 and 4. They have Corey Hart who will probably be a 20-20 guy with good OBP. Their only weak spot on offense is catcher, and Kendall looks comfortable hitting behind the pitcher. As far as their pitching, ours might be slightly better right now, but their ceiling is much higher. I'd take Sheets, Gallardo, Suppan, Parra, Villenueva over our mess any day. Sheets and Z are about even. Sheets is probably better when healthy, Z tends to be erratic. Our bullpen is better, but not by as much as last yaer, and their defense is better by moving Braun to LF. Not on par with ours, but again not a huge disparity as last year. Oh and in 23 games, they will get a very good 30 HR potential hitter back into their lineup. Injuries are the only things that will slow Milwaukee down this year. if Rickie Weeks ends up with a .400 OBP i'll stop watching baseball He obp'd .374 last year with a .235 avg and a .287 babip aka: he will

    Soto walked twice on Monday, got out on a hard hit ball today and struck out on a 3-2 count today. You (posts) are morons.

    clearly they're referring to the Flint Tropics and their late season trade of Coffee Black to San Antonio

    Kenny Lofton in right field is such a hilarious proposition.

    The '84 team should have been to the series. They might have gotten steamrolled by the Tigers, but they were the best team in the NL (by my 9-year-old recollection.) tell us more about the olden days, grampa I hate everything about you. was history class easier back then No such thing. We did have a "Peering Into the Future" core requirement. I don't guess there was a sports section in that class. If I had known I was in for two and a half decades of futility, I don't think I'd still be following the Cobs. You'll appreciate this. My mom called me the other day because she found some folder of mine from back when I was in the second or third grade. There were a lot of my old journal assignments from english or whatever in it. The first one? If you could go back in time, where would you go? My answer? "I would go see Cy Young pitch."

    lol, he does look petulant there, though I'm sure that's not what's going on. i want to know what reggie jackson and the "aint got time to bleed" guy from Predator are doing there with him lol, though Jesse the Body (blain) delivered that line, not Bill Duke (aka Mac). Ahh, damn, you're right. I'm thinking of the guy that shaved his face until he bled. I always attribute that line to him for some reason, and Ive been corrected before.

    what kind of logical reasoning led to the victor zambrano for scott kazmir deal
  13. imb
    Never. It's really my favorite day of the year. Everyone I know spends all day pumping themselves up to not get got, but they all fall. I'm an unstoppable machine for one day a year.

    I got Albert Pujols in the third round of a draft the other day. This really has nothing to do with this thread, but there you go.

    i dont know about you guys, but i just couldnt get too excited about his homer. i still remember what a couple of bombs can do to our country

    If I'm not mistaken, everyone hates Theriot anyway and nobody was fond of Soriano batting 2nd. yeah. and if we used your lineup this game, we still would have lost. the cubs didn't lose because of the lineup, they lost because they couldn't get a hit for the 1st 8 innings. I didn't see we lost because of the lineup, but obviously Theriot can't leadoff and Soriano can't mentally (not to mention he shouldn't anyway) bat 2nd. what mental difference do you think soriano needs to go under to be a successful no. 2 hitter
