  1. A sweep here would be big since I'm not at all optimistic about our chances in Toronto.
  2. Eh, I think that 6 weeks is probably the right estimate.
  3. He's a genuinely nice guy and I feel bad for him.
  4. Bradley is as big a certainty to miss significant time due to injury as there is in baseball.
  5. I agree, but I see no reason for Murton to be a part of it. I think a Murton/Hoff platoon would be wonderful. I'd bet that platoon could put up numbers comparable to Soriano. seriously? Seriously. Individually that aren't near Soriano, but platooning I think they would be close. I think Murton alone could be expected to OPS around .810. I'm not sold on Hoff at all, but I assume Lou would use the two together. Having an ~.800 OPS wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. There still are definitely not going to be black holes in this lineup. And of course an error extends an inning in which Dempster shouldn't be pitching anyway.
  6. I'm willing to bet like nine bajillion dollars that Fukudome will not be leading off.
  7. I see no reason for anything but Murton or a Murton/Hoff platoon to be in left field. No need to trade valuable assets to get something new.
  8. What happened? I was glancing at the computer.
  9. I was genuinely excited at the possibility of having three Cubs in the starting lineup for the NL All Stars.
  10. Minimally displaced fracture for Soriano, whatever that means.
  11. That's probably the first time that anyone other than a fan of the team for which Greg Norton plays has ever said that.
  12. In the final series of the year? Yeah, he struck out the side IIRC.
  13. The Mets blew a 3-0 lead in the 9th inning. Hilarious.
  14. It'd be interesting, but sadly impossible to test such a thing.
  15. Jeeze Dempster, you're on tonight, brotha.
  16. This is thinking really far ahead and making a lot of assumptions, but hey, I don't care... the Cubs should pray that wild card comes out of the Central. If it does, they'll play the NL West champion, which is sure to be weaker than the wild card winner. Yes, I know that's thinking way too far ahead.
  17. Dang. I wanted some Geo stat padding.
  18. At least two more runs would be nice.
  19. For not having pitchers with better control than this guy? Come on, people.
  20. Okay, I'm nervous about this guy. He's obviously not trying to hit us, but he's got no control and he's not almost drilled a second Cub.
  21. I bet it's broken. of course YOU do. It's a fastball right off the hand that is clutching a bat. That most likely will result in a broken bone from what I've seen. Just being honest. What exactly have you seen? I have no idea how serious the injury may or may not be. Although Soriano going to the hospital to get x-rays doesn't sound good. There was absolutely no way it wasn't going to get x-rayed no matter how bad they thought it was (or wasn't).
