    I'd rather have Jacque than the IF's well, but only one IF on the bench is not a particularly great situation. If you demote Cedeno for example and then need another IF when one or 2 of the IF's have nagging injuries, what are you going to do? An OF has to go pretty soon, and even though Jacque adds something to this team he may just be the odd man out.

    The only thing I always wonder about is if it drives away some of the people that this board would like to have as members because it appears so much like talk radio trade proposals. While they are sarcastic, someone who hasn't read the board for a long time might not know that, especially when they see it multiple times in different threads.

    What a strange inning in the Mariners-Red Sox game Daisuke pitching and walks the bases loaded. The next guy grounds out and a run scores. After that, a hit by pitch. Then a double scoring two, followed by two errors by Lugo scoring 2 more. Finally, back to back outs end the inning. Mariners score 5 runs on 1 hit and still leave 2 people on base.

    From today's Jason Stark column: I wonder if he has heard that from a Cubs official, but I am not surprised that they are trying to trade Jones. This is the first sort of confirmation though that they've made the decision to keep Pie up. I'd expect Jones to stay in the lineup daily until he's traded (except against some LHP), if it be in CF or RF. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=stark_jayson&id=2858489

    First transaction: Add Miguel Tejada, Drop Mike Piazza

    In History This year I think he meant the fact that he has doubles in 8 games in a row. I haven't found the leaders for the most games ever in a row though.

    This pitcher has had 4 quality starts in a row against the Braves, Phillies twice, and the Mets. Also, none of the Cubs starters have faced him-hopefully Z can have a good day on the other side because this is going to be a tough matchup because of those two facts above.

    I am amazed at how quickly his OPS is flying up. It's at 843 after today's game. I would never have guessed that number after his start. In fact, he passed DeRosa for the 3rd most productive offensive player on the team today, and he could easily pass Ramirez over the next day or two if he remains hot. I hope he can push that to around 900 or over.

    Yes, are pythagorean record is 16-10 right now. We have the biggest difference in the league at 4 games. The only two teams at at 3 game difference are the Yankees (who are 3 games under what they are supposed to be) and the Brewers (who are 3 games over what they are supposed to be).
  10. CubColtPacer
    This is really just a get Erye in the game, let him finish and maybe get his confidence a little higher. He hasn't pitched for a week.
  11. CubColtPacer
    Gameday has 7 listed-4 by Snell, 1 by Chacon, 1 by Bayliss, 1 by Marte The hitters with walks today are Theriot, Lee, 2 by Ramirez, Barrett, Marquis, Ward
  12. CubColtPacer
    He missed it by inches. We gotta lead the league in doubles. You're right, the team does lead the NL in doubles.
  13. CubColtPacer
    Ward is now tied for the 5th on the team in walks despite only having 10 at-bats-he has 7 walks to go along with that.
  14. CubColtPacer
    Marquis can't get a SS who can field the ball behind him. Izturis with the error today and the 3 error game-both Marquis games. Cedeno started behind Marquis and really struggled defensively that day. Theriot started behind him on Friday, and had the error and a couple other misplays. Marquis is the one who needs defense at SS the most, so it's really bad that the 3 people who have played behind him have not gotten the job done in his starts.

    Is Marshall healthy yet? He's getting there-he pitched a rehab start at Daytona, and he makes his first start for Iowa tonight.
  16. CubColtPacer
    Soriano's OPS has quickly shot back over 800 on the season now-I think it was only like a week ago that it went over 700. If he can get a little run going now, the slow start will be completely forgotten.
  17. CubColtPacer
    Yes, it does, because 90% of baseball is right handed. And where did this idea come from that he cant hit righties, anyway? He's batting in the upper .280's with an OBP of .350 lifetime against righties. Granted, it is better against lefties...but it's not like he cant hit righties Murton has gotten some time against right-handers-I would like to see more (which will probably happen when either Pie is sent down or Jones is traded) but he has seen some time. BTW, only about 70% of starting pitchers are right-handed IIRC.
  18. CubColtPacer
    I think I read 67. Yup-ML record 67, NL record 64. Both of those were done in the 1930's.
  19. CubColtPacer
    When Soriano moved to LF, Murton became a bench player. Jones is the starter in right, with Murton and Floyd getting a good amount of time there as well. Murton is not getting a good amount of time in right. If you believe the back injury kept him out of the games before the off day last week, then since Soriano moved to LF Murton has started twice in right over a 5 game period. If you believe that, well, have fun. I believe in facts and the fact is Murton is getting screwed. But how is it a fact that Murton is getting screwed? Isn't everyone kinda getting screwed with all the OF's we have expecting playing time right now (excluding Soriano)? In fairness to the other argument, Murton has seen less PT than the other OF's-but also the one area where Murton is sure to get at-bats against LHP, the Cubs have faced the fewest of in the entire major leagues.

    Swich deRosa and Theriot and add some Izturis. Lou is giving Derosa the 2nd game off. Also Barrett is playing. DeRosa has played quite a bit lately with Theriot in at short most days-it's probably good that they are giving him the 2nd game off. It's good though that they didn't put Blanco out there then so the team can still have enough power in the lineup.
  23. CubColtPacer
    Yes-they were the last team in the majors in to do that.
  24. CubColtPacer
    My guess on lineup would be Soriano/Theriot/Lee/Ramirez/Jones/DeRosa/Blanco/Pie. I bet we'll have to wait until right about gametime to know.
  25. CubColtPacer
    Really? I don't know for a fact, but I thought Pie was much faster than pretty much anyone else except Soriano. I don't know that 1/100 of a second is going to make a difference in scoring, esp. with an unproven rookie. Like somebody else said though, it was mainly a defensive substitution-Pie in center and Jones in right is a much better defensive alignment than Jones in center and Murton in right. The extra speed was just icing.
