So Todd Hundley? -
Score a couple runs and let Samardzija close it out, no reason to throw Marmol again just because Dusty is here.
-
Without this ~ we're okay.

Sorry his last name confused me. Let's make him Tony Camp to avoid such confusion in the future. Wait Tony sounds Italian...are we ok with Italians? From the North or the Sicilian kind?

Has Wood actually underperformed his discounted contract this year?
-
Ok, you can't be real. What's Castro looking at? Hot chick in center.

My impression is that Barney has not had much time off this year since he took over the starting role. He's played in every game since the ASG and started all but one, plus he's struggled at the plate since the break. I don't have a problem with him sitting, and at this stage in the game there's no reason to worry about forfeit lineups. Although it would be nice to prevent Dusty's Reds from overtaking Pittsburgh for 4th place. Yeah, good point. Plus DeWitt's actually had a decent (for him) last couple of weeks, albeit in a very limited capacity. Going back to the Barney point, was he the one that struggled to get down a sac bunt in Pittsburgh? Could that be the reason he's sitting, and not just the normal need for rest?

First I heard of it
-
With help from the Cincy LF bouncing off the padding in left, just beyond the Cubs bullpen. Ball bounced off wall and rolled to fence, and the LF stumbled the whole way there.

lazy bones with the same hit only got 2 bases

Kid's got power

high high high. A little league coach might say he's not following through.

What in the world?

A large part of the reason why the Bears special teams has been an advantage is because of their return game. The value of that has been decreased due to rules changes on kick offs and they are without Manning, one of their best returners who helped take the load off of Hester. They may have a better punter, but that improvement is going to be incremental at best, and I doubt it overshadows the relative decline in advantage they've had from the return game. IIRC, Knox made the Pro Bowl 2 years ago as a returner. But the rules changes are the biggest thing to hurt the return game Yes, I think he was added to the team as a returner in his rookie year. But his touches were significantly reduced last year as his role in the offense grew. Manning had a lot more returns last year and did a better job.

A-Rod participating illegal high-stakes poker?
jersey cubs fan replied to Clem Fandango's topic in General Baseball Talk
Can we give them weapons, or will it just be hand-to-hand combat? I need to know if I'm going to organize the betting. are you kidding? you've got winner. Nah, I don't dislike either of them. You will when you're locked in a room and they are trying to kill you. -

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 8-4-11
jersey cubs fan replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
He hasn't hit well lately but this is his 3rd straight game with an XBH and 4th in 5 games. 1400 OPS in August! -
It makes me wonder if, rightly or wrongly, this was the Bears thinking with free agency. I wonder if they were worried that free agents wouldn't have time to learn the things they'd need to learn, and that they might be better of spending big on free agents next year? That's all fine and dandy when it comes to bringing in a QB or new starting middle linebacker. But the defense isn't exactly scheme heavy requiring learning, and a pass rusher rushes the QB. Regardless of whether or not they wanted to coach them this month, an offensive lineman was needed. I didn't expect them to go all Philly and acquire pro bowl starters everywhere, or Miami looking for names. But they needed something.

You will have a hard time finding support for that theory.

This front office has been so hit or miss that I don't think they deserve any sort of benefit of the doubt. The Super Bowl season, built on the strength of a defense (two of the biggest stars came from the previous regime) was a tremendous opportunity to build longterm success. They were easily the most talented team in the NFC that year, and it went to crap in one offseason. 3 years of stagnant mediocrity ate away much of the goodwill. The Cutler and Peppers acquisitions were huge highlights (partially obscured by horribly overpaid Taylor and Manumaleuna), but they are only 18-14 the last two years. And their TE mess they've created in the past year adds to the doubt. In my opinion this group is still in the show me stage. I gave them the benefit of the doubt 4 years ago and need to see more before doing it again.

When was that initiated?
-
Pretty big game for me tonight. I made a bet on opening day about the Cubs record vs Pittsburgh this season and I was dead in the water before this series began. A win tonight puts me in the lead for the first time all season, with one 3 game series remaining.

There were a few seasons before the Cup season when all they had to market this team was his face.
