I had no idea the White Sox were throwing Cy Young today. -
Channeling Hendry: 2009 Edition

Where did I blame him for the mediocre season the Cubs have had? If you really believed he was just a 'slight disappointment,' you wouldn't be on your soapbox as much as you are concerning Milton. I also love how Milton now has an OPS approaching .820 and people are still bashing it. I guess he needs to have a triple crown type season next year to win the fans back, apparently. lol @ my soapbox And don't you get it? Cubs fans will nover love Milton because he's not white. Yeah, you're right - we hated that Sosa guy not to mention, Dawson and Banks and Billy Williams [/facepalm]

Where did I blame him for the mediocre season the Cubs have had? You haven't, but the entire fan base seems to be. I pray we don't trade Milton. OK, if you read all my posts from the last few pages you'll see I don't want to trade him either. The only position player I'd love to see dumped is Soriano (assuming we don't have to pay him). We can't move Soriano. That contract is gonna cripple us. I realize that, but please let me dream.

:banghead: Oooh! Call me an idiot and post obscure stats to show that he's just a slight disappointment instead of a major flop that a lot of people think he is. That'll show me. Obscure? How about 7 for 9 against the Mets this weekend? How about last 7 days hes got a batting average(Ill keep it simple for you) of .545 and slugging over .950. How about since the All Star Break hes hitting (again Ill use batting average for you so its not such an obscure stat) .313 and getting on base 43% of the time. But you are right, he hasnt been having quality at bats and just the obscure stats show you dont know wtf you are talking about, when in reality its all stats that show you dont know wtf you are talking about. Sure he's been great lately, but he's OPSing .819 for the season. WHOOPEE! Look, I'm not one of the idiots that think we need to dump him at all costs, but he needs to step it up next season. Plus, he needs to stop being such a whiny baby and act like a professional. Then again, a lot of guys on this team need to do the same.

It takes a lot of passion to slam a bat down like that. He is a role model for the rest of the team to look up to.

Another quality AB from Uncle Milty.

Some offense would be nice. Just a thought.

September Call Ups

So are Patton and Blanco going to magically heal from their "injuries" now that the rosters expand tomorrow? -
Optimistic Rosenthal article for the believers
Old Style replied to Schwarber Fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I will vote for them. Vote none of the above. -
ESPN.com quotes a source as saying neither will be traded.

fontenot is a SS apparently Maybe he's dyslexic, because he said the ball was hit to second a few plays later when it was hit to Theriot.

Jon Lovitz is a moron.

It's too bad Fox doesn't make more money. Then maybe he could play every day.

What kind of numbers did you honestly expect from Bradley?
Old Style replied to Old Style's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
So would a batter who hits .400 but never walks or gets extra bases hits be a complete failure? I guess so since AVG means nothing and OPS means everything, right? -
6 hits and 5 were from DLee/Aramis?
-
That's something only a well-balanced team can do. We couldn't have done it last year with all the right handed bats in the lineup.

Cub fans loved him because he's not black. -
What kind of numbers did you honestly expect from Harden?
Old Style replied to imb's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
52 wins 625 strikeouts ERA below 0.50 The save number and no walks in the OP is just ridiculous.
