No. Their pitching was much worse but they could score a few runs edit: maybe not, 3rd worst in runs? It didn't seem that bad No they couldn't score runs, oh wait, you figured that out. I don't know how you could think it didn't seem that bad. It was awful. -
He was never going to be an everyday player. Miles was brought in to play somewhat regularly.

You should consider talking to somebody about your obsession with their recent playoff struggles. You realize this is a Cubs forum and that is the team's biggest hurdle in recent years, right? I guess I'm just interested in the Cubs getting to the World Series. The Cubs playoff crapiness is the single most important issue in the context of a Cubs forum. I don't think games from 2003 really have any impact on what is going on with the Cubs right now. It's really weird how I've seen quite a few posts by you and every single one of them seems to be associated with your perception of a mental hurdle surrounding the teams struggles in the playoffs. They are on the verge of going under .500 but you are worried about games played months and years ago.

Who was suspended 4 games? Plaxico. He was suspended by the Giants, not the NFL. The NFL can still suspend him.

He'd probably be putting up Pujols type numbers. What makes me laugh is every Cardinals fan tries to tell me they hated him too. Don't give me that crap, this guy was acceptable for you and is redefining the word 'suck' here in Chicago. His OPS last year was literally time and a half what it is now. While I realize people like talking about the whole "he's good in STL but sucks with the Cubs" story, let's not forget STL isn't exactly lighting the world on fire offensively. They haven't hit worth a crap in June and are sliding down the rankings. They have one super star and a bunch of slouches, whereas the Cubs have just a couple decent hitters and a bunch of slouches.

I hadn't noticed before but after reaching a high water mark of 566 in mid-May Aaron's OPS has slipped back below 500. Fantastic acquisition.
-
No they aren't. But they are hitting just as poorly. The pitching staff is much better than that one though.

Well yea but look how the Sox scored their 2nd run. A bloop hit to RF then a broken bat triple. A broken bat triple is still a ball hit hard enough to get to the wall is it not? It wasnt a hard hit ball he hit it down the line and Bradleys gimp ass couldnt get to it before it got to the wall But it still got down there no? That doesn't matter, nobody on the Cubs is hitting the ball hard enough to do much damage. Lee has come the closest, but barring a solo HR, it's not going to mean much. Just because they get on via a misplay by a 3B and then fail to drive that guy in doesn't mean they are doing fine with nobody on but poorly with RISP. The point is they aren't hitting at all. It's not a situational thing.

good stuff?

Earlier in the game while discussing the wind conditions he let us know that "recently when we've had weather like this it's been a pitchers game" as if he hadn't noticed this team hasn't scored in 2 months.
-
Say what you want about RISP, but the times they have gotten on base today it's not like they had really solid hits. There's been missplays at third and bloops.
-
I dont blame Ozzie for sending him, Anderson has good speed, and Soto hasnt been good at throwing runners out this year. They said earlier that Anderson has 2 SB and 4 CS. Yes, you can blame him for sending the guy.

That Monsters has gone away and sportsrise has returned?

We should have bunted. Seriously. This offense sucks, at least a ground ball or sac fly gets 1 run in there. Bunted with Reed, to get to Fontenot vs a lefty and Aaron Miles? You got to be kidding me The chances of Fontenot hitting a ground ball or sac fly are probably greater than Reed getting a hit. Unfortunately. This team blows. Neither a ground ball or pop fly guarantees a run scores. You need either a soft ground not right at a player or a deep fly. Odds are he would not get the job done.

Then you have to count on Fontenot against a lefty to make just the right amount of contact to score that 1 run (still leaving you down 1) and an empty base if they want to walk Fontenot and go for the sure DP with Miles at the plate, followed by a pitcher. No, Reed should not have bunted.

okay new plan
-
Keep hitting it to the new guy. It's like the right center fielder in my softball game last night.
-
Did they hit somebody or are you subtly requesting that they do so?

The less amount of games we play right now without Aram, and with us hitting like crap the better. We should have Aram back by the makeup game, and hopefully be hitting alot better. They have a makeup game this Monday right? A DH on Saturday the 27th would lead to 22 straight games in 21 days before the next scheduled off day. Plus, you might have to jump through hoops with city hall to get permission for a night game in Wrigley Saturday night. And I believe that would be right in the middle of the Taste of Chicago, adding to the trouble of getting players and fans from the south side to the north side.

I really dont see the problem in skipping your #5 starter so you can allow your #1 and 2 starters to pitch. Seems like common sense to me, plus Z has always pitched better on more than 5 days rest. Im hoping though they slot Wells in Friday to give Harden an extra days rest as well as Lilly. With the amount of games we are going to be playing coming up without an offday, they need to give extra rest to any of the starters when they can. I agree with the sentiment, but Dempster is neither a 1 or 2. Lilly is the best pitcher. Agreed, but point still remains about skipping the number 5. Yes, but I think the more important point is extra rest for Harden.

Re: Sosa tested positive in 2003 per NY Times
jersey cubs fan replied to SouthSideRyan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
thats true, and so was Manny Ramir... wait that doesnt work But Frank played college football in the SEC so we know he never had access to steroids as a young man.
