    So seriously a 10-0 homestand leaves them where in the standings?

    Milton getting mobbed at the plate on a walk off would be one of the best moments of the season. With maybe 2 other moments as competition, I'd bet it would be the best.

    Will Emo Bradley get to have a muppet conversation today?
  4. jersey cubs fan
    They've had some nice picks in recent years.

    Well now it makes sense why so many people hate him. I don't understand why people thought he was a big HR hitter but if that's what they thought, then I guess that makes sense why they're disappointed in what he's done this year. It also makes perfect sense to be disappointed in what he's done this year without having expected 30 HR out of him.

    Complaining about first pitch swinging to lead off the game? Its not like Martin had shown to be wild, or it was the 5th and we were about to knock him out. Looks to me like he's complaing about first pitch swinging in just about every Theriot PA, or at least first strike swinging. But why is patience only a virtue in the 5th?

    what was the HR power from Soriano? A deep foul?
  8. jersey cubs fan
    Really? Because I thought that after a hot start to his return Aramis had been somewhat of a non-factor. He's only had 2 HR in August.
  9. jersey cubs fan
    Okay, but what do you mean by move on?
  10. jersey cubs fan
    Cubs did that.

    Yeah, in one of the obligatory "This is what the new owner should do" somebody wrote that he should hire LaRussa as team president I believe. That's not a rumor, that's a columnists just daydreaming about nonsense.

    If they trade Harden, does it have to be somebody who is not on a 40-man roster or somebody else who has passed through waivers? IIRC, yes. Although they can designate a 40 man player as a PTBNL and then complete the trade after the season when the waivers don't apply (that's assuming the player on the 40 man is in the minors or in the AL..if he is in the NL, that workaround cannot be used). That seems quite shady. And I forgot to add that I'd for somebody else to pick up the highly mediocre easy to predict failure that is Heilman.

    Bob's comment was pretty revealing, too. He said "I'd have to believe (it was on Bradley's own). Lou Piniella doesn't like to bunt in a tie ball game in the ninth inning. Why would he have Milton Bradley bunting in the first inning trailing by three runs? It makes no sense whatsoever." Now, I agree that it made no sense, but Lou would absolutely, 100% bunt in a tie game in the ninth inning with anybody except Lee and Ramirez and probably Soriano. He would, but he wouldn't like it.

    he's a very good manager who gets the most out of his players, and the pitching coach he'd bring with him is a magician. of course it would be a good thing for the Cubs. i don't like larussa because he manages the cards but i know that he's good at what he does, so unless he is raping dogs or killing children in his basement, come on down. hell, i don't even care if he rapes dogs or kills children. It's Larussa, so you can assume it's consensual.

    I have to think it was an effort to spread out the LH bats of Fukudome and Bradley when facing a righty. Theriot's August: .326/.348/.372, has not been terrible by any stretch, but it's nothing special and no reason to get him the most PA.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    I'm stupid.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    I'm also tired of his act. But I don't want that to motivate the trade as it would probably lead to devaluing him and accepting less than what you should get.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    I can live with a few walks, and don't really care about his save totals, as closing is overrated. But I agree with the rest.

    http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/08/reports-blackhawk-patrick-kane-agrees-to-plea-deal.html The Blackhawks and NHL stayed quiet on this while it was active. Now that he's plead guilty to what appears to be a very meaningless charge what will the response be? Any discipline coming from the Hawks?

    poorly? I wouldn't want him back on my team or anything but he did put in a lot of effort. There was a point that it looked like he should be playing and wasn't. You didn't hear complaining from him about it. He just took his opportunities when he could and was quiet about it. I thought there were quite a few quotes about him being disappointed about the lack of opportunities.

    I hope not to paint with too broad of a brush here, but I wonder if the different groups are aligned by race? Regardless, if the Vikings, this stuff will be forgotten. Black players, hillbillies and jews?

    What's the right deal? Hell, I'd trade anyone on this team for the right deal. I don't see Zambrano's "ego" as a reason to look to shop him, which is what Wojo seems to be suggesting. He said something like "if the right deal comes along", but I think he really means actively look for a favorable scenario to trade him. I would actively look. Carlos has a big contract and a ton of innings on his arm. After 5 straight 200 inning seasons he's going to finish back to back years of sub 200 innings and have his lowest workload since his rookie year. He's a good pitcher, he's done a lot of good things for the Cubs, but I don't think he's worth the $73m they owe him the next year and believe they can do better. There are always pitching starved teams out there and the Cubs have shown year-in year-out and ability to have pitching depth. I doubt Zambrano's reliability going forward and would love to find an impact bat for him, and possibly even come away with a young arm in the deal.

    My post that set this whole thing off was that I said I was getting a Starlin Castro - Ronny Cedeno vibe. And because Cedeno didn't pan out I think some people took that the wrong way. At one point Cedeno was an excellent prospect, and if it were somehow possible to magically press a reset button and have another shot with him, I'd take it in a heartbeat. It wasn't meant to take anything away from Castro at all. Cedeno was never really an excellent prospect. He was a pretty crappy one throughout most of his career and then went nuts in AAA and turned heads, making people think he had something. When he was added to the 40-man people were scratching their heads because he'd done nothing by then and there was little to no danger of somebody putting him on their everyday roster for a full season. He was a noboby with some tools. It just doesn't make any sense to get a similar vibe when there are huge differences. If you get a vibe then you should get a vibe from every toolsy hispanic shortstop, because that is about all they have in common.

    I do not remember what I expected, but I'm guessing it was an OPS in the high 800s. Basically what he's done with more power.
