    If Lou would pencil Murton in the lineup everyday with Soriano out he will produce enough to offset Soriano's loss. Based on numbers from a down season by Soriano and a statistical stretch of mostly meaningless games (from a team standpoint) over 2.5 months by Murton. However, I do agree Murton should be the starter here, I am just in a gloomy mood and feel like trying to beat down everyone's arguments. Shoulda gotten a big bat before the deadline. Shoulda, woulda, coulda. Shoulda gotten better bats long before the deadline. The offense has been on a drag on this team for years. Hendry, and the rest of us, just have to hope the current group somehow gets hot the rest of the way. At least hot enough to win the still very weak NL Central, which probably isn't even that hot.

    it wasn't so much a need than it was just a natural occurrence. I simply haven't relied on Wood or Prior for 2 years I haven't relied on him either, but I don't see how that translates into feeling creepy when he does return.

    I think the real Cubs are standing. A physically talented team that's capable of looking like world beaters any day of the week, but a highly flawed team when it comes to translating those physical talents to baseball success. Once again the walk is killing this team, as the offense draws far too few and the pitching allows far too many. The Cubs are good enough to beat the crap out of the league's worst, but they can't hang with the best NL clubs, as evidenced by their losing record against all NL East and West contenders. This is the 2007. We have to hope they beat out MIL and then get lucky in the playoffs to beat what is inevitably going to be a superior ballclub.

    I never understood the supposed "need" to move on emotionally or mentally from the Wood era. He's a valuable asset and it was good to have him contribute.

    Another dude ended up on the field?

    I liked Chris Harris.

    I think the Brewers might lose today.

    Anybody see Dye take three years to run 100 feet? Wow, that ball was in the air forever and he looked slower than a pitcher running out a ground ball to first.

    He was facing the best offense in the NL. I'll be more interested to see what he does against a middle-of-the-pack team... like the Mets this weekend, Or at least a team thats not in 1st in terms of R/G. He faced the best offense every game in June and July?

    The quality start statistic is so stupid. 3 ER in 6 IP = 4.50 ERA Is that really what anyone would consider "quality" pitching? From the worst pitcher on my squad? I'll take it from my #5. I'll accept it, but I won't like it. How many teams in baseball have a #5 starter with a 4.50 ERA or better? I would guess not many. The problem is Marquis has an ERA of 5.09 and 6.29 in June and July. If a 4.50 ERA game is the best he can do, and he's regularly doing worst, that's a big problem.

    I feel like there have been 5 or 6 plays Jones failed to make that Pie could have got to pretty easily in the past couple days. If he's going to remain a sub 700 OPS player, there's no reason not to make the switch to Pie. It just doesn't look like he's going to regain the power he had that propped up his OPS vs RHP earlier in his career.

    Whoa, what did I miss? Isn't Harris 100% and ready to go? We're talking about future injury. The Bears lost Harris, but survived last year, partly because he was around for most of the year. They've shown they can win games without him, but I don't see this team retaining home field advantage without him for most of the year.

    If all these guys are billionaires I don't understand the need for partners. Is it becuase he trying to eliminate potential rivals? If you could own and control the Cubs by putting up $501 million instead of the full billion, wouldn't you? It's spreading the risk. It's called diversifying your portfolio, don't want 75% of your assets in one business. This eliminates the possibility those guys add money to other groups. It garners much needed political support (MLB would like a group consisted of a bunch of people with greaty sway in the community).

    You should not talk religion in the workplace, ever. Agreed. Potentially divisive subject matter isn't good for the workplace environment. Politics and Religion are big no-no's for me. Politics, religion and money should never be discussed in mixed company.

    When is the deadline again?

    Top 5 can't lose to injury 1- Urlacher 2- Benson 3- Kreutz 4- Tait (not that he's awesome, but o line injuries could derail this team 5- Harris (if he misses all of the season, the defense will suffer greatly) 6- Grossman For this team to win the SB, they need Grossman to do well. They could get by with Orton or Griese, but without the upside I don't see them as much of a threat.

    Ummmmmmmmm, interesting? Cubs are all about promoting their guys this year I guess.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    He looked pretty gimpy.
  20. jersey cubs fan
    Prove it. Haha, nothing in that statement needs to be proved. Defenders flat out despise slow pitchers and tend to not make as many great plays behind them. If this is "definitely" true it will be rather easily proved.
  21. jersey cubs fan
    Prove it.

    I say we get about 1000 signatures on a letter of reference for Ron to carry around with him. Anyone else game? :D Vance should be good for about 945 of 'em.

    So Soriano doesn't count? (Maybe you're thinking he's past his prime...) 31 at the start of an 8 year deal? Yeah.... Santana would be 30 and a pitcher. Pitchers prime and position player primes don't really match up. For guys who actually make it through their early-to-mid twenties intact, I believe the prime years are generally considered to be around 30-31. Although I may be way off there.

    Is that solely based on the story about his Jewish ex-girlfriend, or is there more to it? There have been rumblings that he fought in the crusades.

    i'm not following you The money spent on Morris/Izturis could've covered a 5 year major league deal for Weiters. Yup. Except, you guys are mostly payin Izturis. Not after you pick up his option next year.
