  1. Hahahahahahahahaha I really like having Dempster on the team, but man, if he's actually your ace then you're in trouble. I'd still count Z as the Cubs best starter, but I don't know if they have an "ace." ARAMIS!
  2. Because that's not what I said. I said I will have watched a lot of baseball this year before I see another defensive play that pathetic. I've already watched a lot of baseball this year. Where you came up with ALL YEAR is why you should probably not respond. Reading comprehension can be a good thing. I hate to step into the tussle here, but this is a ridiculously worthless semantic argument. You should both just stop. :)
  3. And be between 10 and 20 runs worse in the field. Doubtful. DeWitt is a 3rd baseman playing a position higher up on the defensive spectrum and getting awful reviews from all involved. Barney is a defense-oriented shortstop playing down the defensive spectrum and getting great reviews. What am I missing? Hmm that's true, but the fact still remains that Barney should not be on an MLB roster. 100 points of OPS is a pretty shallow estimate. Hm that's true but I'm still right because I am!
  4. Give us a sample.
  5. Today is my first time listening to the radio booth. I agree, but I do really like Keith.
  6. Hm, that Cashner news is pretty good, isn't it?
  7. This is an absolute disaster for the Cubs.
  8. Byrd has pissed me off with some of his early ABs but damn is he a nice guy. Cashner's gonna have a beautiful career. I agree.
  9. I'm not sure I like that Bob is talking about pitching around Bloom to get to Kelley Johnson, the guy who hit ~30 homers last year.
  10. Hm... I'm not sure that was the right call.
  11. Nice to get the out but that was another supremely bad luck play. That would've been a double play if it got past Marshall. I think, anyway.
  12. Doom and gloom much? it's just too obvious Post something positive. :)
  13. He's not he's in left for Soriano because he plays defense like my grandmother. My mistake.
  14. Damn it. Thought that was two for sure.
  15. Someone said this offense reminded them 2008's. Not in the sense that they'll score 200,000 runs but in the sense that there are few serious weaknesses. In the normal lineup, I'd consider Barney to be the only hitter a team really doesn't have to be worried about. Everyone else is a threat to do something at some level. I know that a late inning lead is no time to bring this up, but this is also the type of offense that can congeal into one large black hole. It isn't at all inconceivable that Ramirez, Soriano, Byrd, and Pena all have overlapping heavy slumps. If that happens during a stretch of 3 games in which Castro does NOT post a 1.650 OPS, things have the potential to get frustrating in a hurry. I really hope it doesn't come to that. What offense would do well when three of the top hitters have heavy slumps?
  16. Um, hi. Excuse me. Why is Reed Johnson playing for Fukudome?
