    It's nearly impossible to have any hope in the kid anymore.

    Certainly a refreshing change from years past. But it's "par for the season" in 2008. Cubs lead the NL with 340 BB, STL is in 2nd with 337, but they also lead the Cubs by 7 in IBB. This version of the Cubs has been incredibly patient, and it's the single most satisfying "little thing" about the way they've gone about playing this year. Dusty got correctly assailed for his views on hitting philosophy, I wish Lou would get some credit for the philosophy that he's helped change. I believe he has.

    After what appeared to be a little bit of an awakening by Colvin, he ends June with a line of .236/.307/.373 for the season, his OPS was actually lower in June than April and May. The BBs are up a bit, the power is sort of kind of showing up, a little. But he's still not coming close to producing at an acceptable rate. This kid really needs to stick in CF, and really needs to think about turning it on a bit sometime this year. He is still only 22, and won't turn 23 until after this season ends, I believe. So he's not on the verge of disappearing. But aside from where he was drafted, there's little to suggest he's got a bright future.

    My favorite storyline out of all this is all the media types saying they had no idea what steroids were back in the 90's, when their use in sports was very well known when I was a kid in the 80's.

    I don't think it's realistic to think of a 3-man scenario. I don't like putting guys on short rest in the playoffs. Any potential WS run should include a 4-man rotation.

    He did it better (for one night) then A-Ram. Not since Santo has there been a 2 HR 6 RBI night by a Cubs 3rd basemen. Correct me if I am wrong. :grin: Aramis had a 2 HR 6 RBI game last year, a 2 HR 7 RBI game in 2006.

    Did any of us really ever root for Manny Alexander?

    It's silly to think he can't do anything in the majors, but it's not silly to think of him as well past his prospect years. He's not going to add value via trade. Although the fact that others haven't picked him up in rule 5 really only proves they didn't want to try and keep him on their rosters for a full season. He could be a throw-in, especially to the type of team that could benefit from an older guy with no service time who could possibly give them 3 extremely cost effective seasons.

    That's up to .360/.520/.570 after last night. Looking at his splits, there's not a single one with OBP < .500. If he had enough PA's to make the league leaders (he's had 3 stints on the DL), he'd be 2nd in AVG, 1st in OBP and OPS, 4th in SLG. I don't care what he's hitting, the boy's got to work on his versatility ability before I'd even consider adding him to the major league bench. If he can't play CF or 2B, he's nothing to me.

    Are there specific criteria that need to be met to be able to put a guy on the bereavement list?
  12. jersey cubs fan
    Missed 24hr cutoff. Hosak on the clock... Seriously the shenanigans never end. Who the hell is checking their draft status at 1030 at night on a friday and then over a summer weekend?

    3-1 It was 3-0, according to Gameday. It was 3-1 according to Gameday and the guys on the radio.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    3-1 I know Ronny hit it well, but when you are down 6 you should take two on 3-0. why? He got a pitch to hit and it was 3-1. Why go to 3-2 when you can hit 3-1 hard?
  15. jersey cubs fan
    3-1

    He never had one before coming to the Cubs. His improvement was drastic and the decline equally so. It probably makes sense. It's just odd that the drastic increase and drastic decrease coincided so closely with his arrival and departure from the Cubs. I'm not implying anything...I don't know why it happened, I don't know if the park, or the coaches, or whatever had anything to do with it. I just find it curious. his peak ages

    They don't miss Lincecum. At this rate, they might seriously consider calling up Samardzija for bullpen help. Eyre is MIA, Lieber will be burned today. They are going to use at least a couple more arms. well that'd be a good way to ensure that we lose some more games by lopsided margins. They almost have to callup somebody. Not much to choose from, and he is on the 40-man roster. It's either him, Piggy, or Ascanio. Hart is concussed, right?

    If Lee was anywhere near Pujols' league it wouldn't be a big deal. But Pujols is an extreme contact hitter who regularly OPSs over 1000 and has a career OPS+ of 169. Lee has one season over 1000 and is a career 124 OPS+. He's also not nearly the contact hitter that Pujols is. He's a lot more like a 2 hitter or 5 hitter than a 3 hitter.

    but he got into such good shape in the offseason...
  21. jersey cubs fan
    These guys are trying to scare the crap out of Rose on the radio.
  22. jersey cubs fan
    stone thinks it should have been a double and error. From the sounds of things it had to be a single and error right?
  23. jersey cubs fan
    time to make a switch
  24. jersey cubs fan
    The first time through, I agree. But since the callup his PA have looked solid. He's also OPSing over 1000 in the past week, 5K 4BB.
  25. jersey cubs fan
    12 AB in the past week for a 1000 OPS. He's not playing "so much" but he's done well.
