    The answer to this seems simple, man. It's family. CUBS FAMILY! GIVE THEM SOME MONEY AND STAY HOME! :D

    Greatest time in the world for a 10 game winning streak (counting last night). :D:D:D
  3. Cubsown2007
    Neat! Thanks so much!

    App St. is probably the best team in 1AA, but yeah it is still a surprise. Hmm Michigan went from not being able to win the big game to not being able to win at all. :o
  5. Cubsown2007
    Seconded!!
  6. Cubsown2007
    Haha gamecast is slow. YEAH ARAM!
  7. Cubsown2007
    Yeah DLee!

    Man, Patton is only up to 71 pitches.
  9. Cubsown2007
    Riot works a full count. What else is new.
  10. Cubsown2007
    And then he almost hit that one out. :o Phew.
  11. Cubsown2007
    GOOD LORD that last ball was right down the middle on gamecast.
  12. Cubsown2007
    Hey just be happy that Jason is looking very good out there. We'll get some runs across.
  13. Cubsown2007
    Good sac :D
  14. Cubsown2007
    COME ON JJ!!

    For whatever it's worth, he just struck out looking on a 1-2 count with Theriot on second.

    I have to disagree. I was elated, and I found the inning a welcome distraction from a pretty ugly game on the Cubs part. Glad he's back. It's been far too long.

    All I have to say is this. Injuries happen. The difference between good teams and teams that simply get hot is that good teams find a way to win around injuries. They find a way to work around losing good players. It's time to see if this is a good team or just a fun team to watch at times. The season starts now.

    Brewers play this afternoon. Oh. :lol: Well then here's to them watching the scoreboard too much. :D

    I'm sorry, but personally, just by looking at his face, he looks healthier to me. Back then he was surviving on skill alone, I mean he was a YOUNGIN. God only knows what his diet was. Now, he has to take care of himself. He looks happy and healthy in the face. It genuinly looks as though he's in great spirits. :D

    Glad I was wrong about this one. Lets build our lead to a .5 game today and let the Brewers sweat it out tonight! Go Cubs!
  21. Cubsown2007
    Oh, and I think it will be around the 8th or 9th of this month, and we'll fight back and forth with the Crew all year, until hopefully we pull ahead in the last 10 games or so.

    I really, really hope that this is a joke post. Not because of the opinion, just because my 11 year old nephew can write a more coheirent post.

    oh no doubt, the mechanics of his swing are absolutely a thing of beauty to watch. he gets amazing plate coverage and whip out of those long, skinny arms. one of the reasons he swings at that outside slider is that he's very adept at taking that outside fastball to the opposite field bleachers. i just wish his pitch recognition were better, there's got to be some sort of trick he can learn, maybe he can wear those contacts or something. I'm curious if there is any truth to the rumblings about Soriano's swing cheating him of a few extra-base hits because of the propensity to generate top-spin on balls hit to left field. Just with naked eye observation, it seems there are times he destroys the ball, but it dives into warning track rather than sails out. It's probably just nonsense, but I wonder if anyone has a little more on the subject. I've never heard that, but that's very interesting. I guess theoretically that could be the case. It DOES seem like his line drives just DIVE like crazy.

    I'm not sure why this has surprised anyone. He's always been streaky. He's impatient, he always will be. But when we get into the playoffs and he single-handedly wins a game with a 3-4, 2 hr performance I bet no one will care that much about his inconsistancies. :D I'd be very happy with a .300/30 season from him, if he produces like he has been. I still fine him compelling to watch hit.

    Good post. Pretty much how I feel on the situation. Do I think he's a great prospect? Absolutely. Elite? I wouldn't go that far, lets see how he matures. Do I think he can help us win a WS this year? I don't really see it. But he will be our CFer of the future if the FO continues to be very gentle with his development. And a lock at CF is one thing that we CANNOT give up for the future.
