That was all Ronny. really? cuz it looked like a short white guy w/ stubble started that.
-
nice play by the cubs' defensive liability at 2nd.

Sorry not buying that. Say Marshall remains in the game and gives up the long ball? Then it's "stupid Baker why leave the rookie in the game?" The manger is damned either way. He leaves the starter in too long or pulls them too soon? It's all so subjective. Nobody has a crystal ball. The manager certainly isn't damned either way. The fact of the matter is that leaving Marshall in gave us a better chance to get out of it. You're acting as if the only choices were to let Wuertz let two in or Marshall give up the longball. With Marshall being an extreme groundball pitcher, there was more than a decent chance that he could've kept anything from happening at all. Nah sorry but the manager is always damned if he does, damned if he doesn't on any given decision. The manager makes a call and it is up the the player to execute. A manager can make the perfect move in the perfect situation and it does not work out. And he can make the worst move in the worst situation but if it works, most people don't complain. If you don't understand that then you haven't watched enough baseball over the years. i had no problem w/ taking marshall out, but the 'i've watched more baseball than you' argument is weak, weak, weak.

enough harping about reliance on the homerun please. it'd be 4-0 if it weren't for homeruns, idiot.
-
i wanted to leave him in just to see how he'd do. i think either one of them could have gotten encarnacion, who is awful. no way i'd let him face pujols either. bynum on the other hand...
-
eckstein's arm never hurts the cardinals b/c he hustles so much.
-
thanks for swinging at that, jim.
-
why the hell do you throw a fb?
-
nice stop by the worst defensive catcher of all time.
-
jones >>>>> encarnacion
-
ball 1 was a frisbee. just have to hope that encarnacion's suckiness outweighs wuertz's rust/mediocrity. rusch would not have been pulled right there...guarantee.
-
bah...leave him in. lame.
-
hey joe, maybe now isn't the time to try and downplay the importance of home runs.
-
how good does jacque feel right now?
-
barrett has taken great approaches at the plate lately.
-
what is the deal w/ a friggin' tuesday afternoon game? i have class at 11, 12, 1, and 3, making getting to this game practically impossible. why don't they just push hill back to tuesday to rub it in a little more. :(
-
geez, that 6-8 for the cards is ugly.
-
it's funny seeing you guys say who the fans are 'allowed' to boo. as if it's your decision.

Abreu at the deadline?
abuck1220 replied to CubinNY's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Give me a break. Pitching has not been the problem with this team, its been offense. It has alwys been offense, last year the Cubs were near the top in HRs, SLG, and BA. And only in the middle of the pack in runs scored. Same in 2003 and 2004. The Cubs have the pitching to win, but not the offense. So are you saying the Cubs shouldn't try to upgrade? That is pretty assinine. Yeah, we'll trade some surplus pitching for Abreu. I'm sure they'll take a package of Marshall and Hill for Abreu. Offense doesn't win division titles. Pitching does. yep. so if you have a chance to upgrade your offense you shouldn't even do it. You really think we can upgrade the offense w/o downgrading some other element of our team? We don't live in fantasy land. Philly will get something valuable in return, not a bunch of minor league leftovers that could beat out Rusch and Williamson for a rotation spot. i don't know what philly would want in return, and neither do you. that's not really the point, though. you shouldn't automatically dismiss the notion of upgrading the offense just b/c you think pitching and defense wins championships (which isn't true, but whatever). -

jones: i'm the worst rf in the game today, i'm hitless on the season. encarnacion: oh yeah, watch me drop this pop fly of yours. jones: oh yeah, watch me not hustle and then foolishly try to make it to second. encarnacion (pondering whether to eight hop the throw to second base): you win.
