    victorino's animation can't help him catch the ball.

    this horrible team gives up enough outs on the bases as it is.
  3. abuck1220
    jones swings like he has two broken arms.
  4. abuck1220
    this is not a good team.
  5. abuck1220
    the cubs' problem isn't too many outfielders, it's too many mediocre outfielders.

    Seriously, he looks like he has absolutely nothing today. I dont think ive ever seen him pitch anywhere near his hype. are we really going to go through another round of "this young guy with 40 big league innings under his belt is never going to amount to anything?" maybe you weren't here for rich hill last season.

    whew...missed that buzzsaw by a week.

    two plays today - ball bounced past him in the first too. his baserunning has been poor and his plate approach has gone to hell. I hate watching this team. i agree...overall he looks considerably worse.

    i sometimes wonder if soriano could tell you where the strike zone was if you asked him. with the exception of the one play today, murton's seemed ok to me defensively.
  10. abuck1220
    high pitch counts don't matter.
  11. abuck1220
    i don't know that pagan helps much.
  12. abuck1220
    pagan's one of those guys that gets a reputation for being good defensively because he's skinny and fast. i thought he looked horrible defensively last year.

    this is one of the worst games the cubs have played all year, and i'm going to call it a night. they don't really deserve to win...though the pirates really don't deserve it either. and it just gets worse. only in this division can the cubs be competitive.
  14. abuck1220
    Yeah, I think you're right. so the guy on first kinda screwed that up then?
  15. abuck1220
    if the guy running from 1st to 2nd would have stopped, gotten into a rundown and forced theriot to throw to first, wouldn't the run have counted even if the cubs eventually got the guy out who started on first?
  16. abuck1220
    the article was pretty stupid, but the cubs are a poorly constructed team. the OF has too many guys and they're nearly all playing out of position. floyd makes ward redundant and izturis makes cedeno redundant (and vice versa). three loogies in the pen really doesn't make much sense.

    can i put cordero on my DL since he is on the bereavement list? i would guess that since the ML team is allowed to replace him on the roster that i would be able to as well, but i don't know if this has come up before.
  18. abuck1220
    not even close to being analogous. a pitcher's job is to pitch well. there are things that are out of his control. the gm's job is to build a winning team. included in that job is the expectation that he fix things that come up that are out of his control (ie injuries). it is mind-boggling that people still defend hendry, who has put together a team that has disappointed for three straight seasons despite a ridiculously huge payroll. seems like a lot of people here got used to baker's excuses and are now making them for hendry.
  19. abuck1220
    no, he didn't. pierre sucked, and pretty much everyone on this board knew he would. he made whatever hole in the lineup there was worse. and that's his fault, not pierre's. pierre did exactly what everyone thought he would do. just b/c hendry, espn and joe morgan say pierre is a good leadoff hitter, doesn't make it so.
  20. abuck1220
    yeah, these past few seasons have been bliss. considering the low payroll the cubs are working with and the tough division they play in, i'm pretty happy with being below .500. The teams Hendry has assembled the last 4 years, have been good "ON PAPER". You cannot fault the GM entirely for teams not living up to it's potential, and "underachieving". that's ridiculous. a gm's job is to assemble a winning team on the field...not "on paper." and while those teams may have looked good to hendry on paper, there were plenty of obvious problems.

    all the players that are doing well on the cubs will continue to do well, and all the players on the cubs that are struggling will improve. all the players on other teams that are doing well will regress, and all the players on the other teams that are struggling will continue to do so.
  23. abuck1220
    couple good weeks and 2006's last place team is all the sudden a "power", eh? :D
  24. abuck1220
    bengie molina looks like a good waiver wire pickup. :evil:
  25. abuck1220
    all i'm saying is that i'm not ready to concede that milwaukee is better because they've gotten off to a better start than the cubs. i agree. but the fact that they've gotten off to a better start makes it harder for the cubs to catch them...even if the cubs' luck improves and the brewers' luck declines.
