    Very very odd move by Torre lets make him pay for it

    I'll be the bigger man here and admit I must be wrong But damn does it seem like it, the eyes and our brains can deceive us
  3. BigSlick
    but...but...my anecdotal evidence!
  4. BigSlick
    I've always had a hunch that a majority of his walks are taken when there aren't RISP's. He doesn't seem to mind working the count and taking a walk in those situations, but when there are RBI opportunities, he gets super aggressive and swings at horrible pitches. He will still sometimes take pitches, but only to get ahead in the count in order to increase the probability of him getting a hittable pitch. If he gets a 2-0 count, he'll just start flaling away at anything to avoid walking. I hate to buy into conventional 'baseball' knowledge about how certain players are better in the 'clutch' but it applies so strongly to Soriano. The man literally will hack away if theres a runner on base, leading off he isn't so terrible, he'll take a pitch or two, but he's absolutely brutal if theres anyone close to scoring.

    I'm in disbelief literally, the only thought going through my head as teh cubs got 2 on and no out was "Soriano K, Theriot GIDP" and thats exactly what happened
  6. BigSlick
    Soriano is so bad with runners on base he just swings at everything
  7. BigSlick
    Jake Fox for starting pitcher
  8. BigSlick
    see, Bobby Scales still has value

    i gotta say, I don't feel that bad about this loss i think the Cubs have finally numbed me. I'm positive Randy Wells will never win a game in a Cubs uniform. Its become impossible.

    I'm fine with Bradley I don't really care what his season BA is really after that beginnign cold streak he's doing fine now
  11. BigSlick
    I can't conceive of a situation in this game in which we score runs, much less advance a runner to third base
  12. BigSlick
    score some runs you idiots, god damn
  13. BigSlick
    if this particular Cubs team doesn't make the playoffs I'm giving up followign them for at least a few years we'd have to start rebuilding and the bloated contracts of some of our less worthwhile players will hold us back for a while, it'll be pretty brutal. This is a pretty make or break year.
  14. BigSlick
    somebody hit a donger I dont want to watch this game in extras
  15. BigSlick
    I am completely confident that we will lose this game now
  16. BigSlick
    Yup, its time to commit suicide guys
  17. BigSlick
    Z is coming out again?
  18. BigSlick
    GET RUNS
  19. BigSlick
    I gotta say, theres nothing that guarantee the Cubs a scoreless inning more than a lead off double I wish I could swear we strand more lead off doubles than anyone else in the league but I'm sure we're aroudn teh middle of the pack or something

    I gotta say to a guy whos a casual NBA fan, Chris Anderson is a pretty entertaining player, he obviously gives 100% and is pretty exciting out there. Plus he looks hilarious Also to someone rooting against both the Cavaliers and the Lakers, the last two nights have been awesome. Essentially counterbalancing the bad karma of the Cubs games.

    I forgot that Lou wanted to give Fukudome more rest this year and now it makes more sense but Johnson in the three hole For chrissakes
  22. BigSlick
    Yeah but Reed Johnson is gonna ground out three times and pop up to center once in the three hole So yeah I do blame him
  23. BigSlick
    That is quite possibly teh worst move he could have made 2 days ago Fukudome had 3 walks and a hit He's a lefty so it makes no sense to bench him against a righty...it boggles the mind the only way to make sense of it is to consider that Lou has hated Fukudome for quite some time and has a bizarre fascination with Reed Johnson Welp, time for us to get shut out again
  24. BigSlick
    They're talking about him only being to finally start basic rehabbing baseball-wise by mid-June, not actually being ready to play. I'm not expecting him back until August. Lordy.. maybe we should make a trade after all this is pretty bad
  25. BigSlick
    i'm toying with the idea of just going the truffleshuffle way and completely troll every gamethread i dont really have the effort to play it straight anymore
