I love the guy, I really do, but he could never be my favorite Cubs because of the Jekyl and Hyde at bats he puts out there. Sometimes he looks just plain awful and its in the same games where he'll hit a huge walk off 3 run homer. There's not a player ever who doesn't at times look "just plain awful." Hmm oh yes he has the same ratio of good to bad plate appearances as Ramirez, Lee and Fukudome I forgot

Aramis would need to go on a tear and hit like, 200 more home runs in his career which is tough since he's on the wrong side of 30 now. Derrek Lee actually could have had a shot after that huge 2005 if he didn't hurt his wrist, derail his career and lose all his power :(
An outfield of Soriano, Dunn and Fukudome would be so bad defensively it might not even be worth it. Not that Fukudome wouldn't be probably an average CF, but our corner spots would be terrible and Fukudome wouldn't have the range to cover up for them. I don't see why we can't give Pie another chance, he was thrashing AAA for a while wasn't he?
I'm not gonna bitch and moan about it too much, but he should probably stop using Howry like ever I don't know how many times Howry has to blow a lead for this to be drilled into his head
This guy has had our number all season, I don't know what it is Thank God the Astros wont be in the playoffs, Moehler is for sure the last pitcher I want to see
We are going to pay him 9+ Million dollars a year next year to blow and he will start if not injured, because our front office is more obsessed with us playing players who are getting paid then playing those who deserve to play
This game sucks, the Astros suck All we gained from the delay was a 2 inning usage of Gaudin, wonderful. I hope the Astros rot in hell, they are seriously picking something up on us and it bothers me they have our number
The world and ESPN conspires to make sure the Cubs lose oh and they can't do anything against Brad Moehler again, the guy would win the Cy Young if he got to face the Cubs every start, unbelievable, actually...very believable.
Lets not forget the Cardinals, they are pretty much a bad team that somehow has a great record Seriously midgets, midgets, terrible bullpen arms, awful starters with good ERA's, more midgets, Cesar Izturis, more crap, a drunk manager
