  1. Not under Ron Turner, I agree. So far he hasn't been good enough. I have some faith that he can be good enough, but I'd rather rely on more than just him carrying this club until he actually carries the club.
  2. Ever hear a Yankees radio broadcast? It's amazing how many ads they can fit in there. This 3-2 pitch brought to you by Mobil, fill up at your local Mobil today. Foul ball. That foul ball was brought to you be Perdue chicken. That Perdue Chicken ad was brought to you be Steiner sports.
  3. So that stone is now a legal citizen?
  4. Headline on cubs.com right now: Theriot strikes first as Lilly deals vs. D-backs
  5. You know, unless we exit April with an atrocious record and miss the playoffs by a game or two. Worst they can be is 10-14, not exactly dead and buried territory.
  6. How is there a Chicago Bulls playoff thread this long? What have you people been talking about?
  7. what did he say? When Geo came to bat Pat said, "Soto batting .362, not bad for you eighth hitter." Len said, Geo batting 8th, he has a OPS of 1.0whatever the heck it is. And then went on about how good the Cubs catchers have hit.
  8. Don't bring that metric crap here. He wants his quarter pounder the American way.
  9. so you actually used the same response I did but in a serious manner?
  10. So is it typical of the Diamondbacks to do the same? But they are an NL west team that only comes to town once a year, so they don't really know how Wrigley plays.
  11. No. Just hit the ball hard. The worst thing these guys can do is try and place their contact based on wind conditions. A pop out on a windy day is usually still just a pop out.
  12. I'm getting sick of this "with runners on" talk that Len just brought up, but Brenly actually had a decent answer.
  13. Tribune said there was going to be an immigration protest. Why in front of Wrigley? I would guess because it's got a lot of media, and would then get a lot of attention. Also, maybe Arizona Diamondbacks?
  14. Tribune said there was going to be an immigration protest.
  15. Because order doesn't matter "that" much. The manager's only significant job is keeping the players from sme sort of open mutiny, and the best way to get a clubhouse all pissy is to bump the most respected and consistently good bats to the bottom of the order based on 2-3 weeks of bad performance. You are getting minimal benefit but risking a bunch of pissed off players. And whatever benefit you do get could easily be negated by having the game you decided to move them be the day they actually broke out of a slump and got little out of it. There's just nothing to gain.
  16. Not terrible looking. No, but she did this thing where she winked at the camera and it was bad. Also, she took out her boobies.
  17. I don't think I've ever watched anything on Versus until these playoffs. I don't get it. You have to get the 250 channel package to get Versus on Dish Network. Not a fan of rodeo and bicycling? I had it on last night for the game and noticed afterward a horrible sports talk show that features a good deal of Jenn Sterger.
  18. I wasn't as worked up about it as you at the time, but I completely agree.
  19. How whitebred must one be to make this complaint about the name?
  20. I don't usually get too hung up on batting order, but Soto hitting 8th right now is lunacy. It might be different if Lee and Ramirez were hitting, but this is absurd. I look forward to Lou's post game musings about how the media should "talk to the players" about the middle of the order coming up short lately. Cause, you know, he has no control over that. Quoting myself but, whatever: To go further, it's really weird that he can be so reactionary with some things (Byrd leading off/Theriot moving to 8th for one game, Zambrano to the pen, etc.) and then be so stubborn about something like this. I wonder if it's more about not wanting to pressure Soto to do too much, or feeling Soto let him down last year and it's a sort of punishment.
