thanks for giving away outs Padres. Good hitting RH against a mediocre lefty, and you bunt? -
A local would know that. sorry, these commercials are driving me insane.
-
First pitch out Murton? Come on.
-
? On the radio, 720, they run an ad about things Chicago natives would know. One of the ads is about Western Avenue being the longest road in the world. Isn't it the Pan-American highway? The commercial, which like all Old Style commercials sucks, says that the traffic makes it seem like the longest road in the world.

Miller off the hook, Cubs might steal a win if the bullpen holds.
-
Huge, yes. Offensive, I don't see that. He used an actual Jack Brickhouse quote. you don't think the Cub getting it up the butt is offensive? :shock: I looked at it as the cub having a goat on his back (the Cubs' version of having a monkey on your back). I look at it as poking fun at the frustration all Cub fans feel, not trolling. I keep avatars off, but I turned it on to see what the fuss was about, and that is not a "goat on the back".

It's rare you can have as ineffective of a pitcher as Miller is right now but still be in the game. The Cubs need to try and be patient so they can knock out Maddux by the 7th.

Ghhaaa (Wade Miller struggling)

Somebody will need to pitch April 22 if there are no rainouts. The next off day is not until 8 games from now. That's what he said-he said the 5th starter wouldn't be needed until May after Sunday (the 22nd). I thought he said May 1st, fogged out on the after sunday thing. -

Infield in? Geez, I'd almost rather give them the run and hope for an out. If they can get Miller through this inning with only a 4-1 deficit, that's practically a victory.

He's got to do whatever he can to not hit a grounder.

I think I was 11 when I found out that 'softballs' come in sizes smaller than 16". Still not sure why they call them softballs, those 12" things, that is. There are 12" leagues that use a ball very similar to the 16" clincher, as opposed to the ones that are basically bloated baseballs.
-
Ahhhhhhhh, Jake the neighborhood guy. Forgot about him. I want to know why this supposed connoisseur of all things Chicago has one ad where he pretty much admits that he had know idea what 16" softball was.
-
Rightly so? That's a terrible reason to boo a player.

I think it's 10 days unless somebody goes on the DL. -
Pie will go when Soriano is healthy. We don't know that. If Pie goes on a tear while Fonz is gone it will be very difficult to justify sending him back to Iowa, particularly if Jones is still struggling. That's the proverbial bridge you cross when you get there. I'm not worried about 5 OF who need to get time, because right now, they only have 4 (Soriano is unavailable).
-
A little bit. He can still be an asset as a loogy. I don't like just giving away assets.

What? :evil: He pitches lights out yesterday and then gets demoted? WTF? I had a sneaking suspicion. Now he can go into the rotation and be prepared to start for the Cubs next time through the rotation. No more 12 pitchers nonsense.
-
Please stop forsaking the XM nation. It's on channel 186.
-
They are waiting for the last minute, which could mean they are waiting on further diagnosis on Soriano, or to try and see if somebody clears waivers, or for a trade
-
We might not get that from Soriano this year.
-
No but he's not the star that everyone is envisioning Pie at eventually be. (of course its only Granderson's second year) Not everybody is envisioning Pie as a star. I'm hoping for a decent player who produces at a level a lot higher than he's paid for the next few years. That would be an enormous accomplishment for this organization, and something they desperately need since they are going to be overpaying so many veterans.
-
Soriano will not be leading off for the next 8 years. They might get lucky enough to be able to hide him there for 2-3 years, but eventually somebody with half a brain will notice his OBP ain't cutting it, and as he ages, it's just likely to get worse. He'll be a 5th hitter in 4 years minimum. Hopefully Eric Patterson is the leadoff hitter.
