  1. Fox is already in the game. Suicide squeeze? Blanco is a pretty good bunter.
  2. Absolutely. Good start. Ugh. Why Lou? Maybe Soto will hit for Miles and have Koyie play 3rd or something?
  3. He has pitched better lately except for that one pitch. I think it is reasonable for him to stay.
  4. Whoever said Valbuena was going to homer again. damn you.
  5. And we have had two relievers go multiple innings
  6. Nobody. I'd love to see Miles pitch and the defense that would come along with it. Most likely Fox in left and Koyie at third. Blegh.
  7. Because Wood is their closer and they don't want Perez to have to be their last defense if they take the lead. Not saying its necessarily right, but the majority of managers manage that way. What about Vizcaino or something? Anybody but Perez
  8. Ugh make the defense worse for Patton. Good job.
  9. Guys he doesn't have time to do a quick google search, but he can type out multiple paragraphs complaining
  10. Why would they put Perez in? Shouldn't Wood have pitched? You put Bradley on the right side and put Reed against a LHP AND have a terrible pitcher face Lee? Looks like it may work out, but it was still dumb
  11. Burke's reaction was great. He is one of my favorite prospects for some reason. Hope he does well.
  12. Wrong. If Soriano stops swinging at that slider and takes his walk like he did there the cubs offense would be in pretty good shape. Well... that's a pretty big "if". Soriano has never taken walks and he's always swung at bad pitches. He is a HORRIBLE baseball player, who just happens to have the ability to hit mistakes out of the ballpark. There also isn't a single aspect of his game that suggests he should hit leadoff. Look at this quote from Lou: "We've been through this many times," Piniella sighed. "When we signed Alfonso, he was a leadoff hitter. We've won two divisions with him being a leadoff hitter. What else can I say? He's struggling. We just got to hope he gets hot." He was not a leadoff hitter, ever. He just bats first because he's a whiny little girl when he doesn't. We've also been swept in the first round twice with him being a leadoff hitter. The problem with Soriano, is that even when he is hot, he is still a horrible leadoff hitter! Lou thinks that he is being a productive leadoff hitter when he is hitting long balls, and that is just not the case. He should be hitting long balls with people on base. [/RANT] awesome
  13. Fontenot was used in the 8th before Hill pinch-hit for him
  14. I probably wouldn't because we would have no more bench
  15. KW will always be one of my top 5 Cubs of all time. Even when I see him blow a save against the Cubs, is like a stab in the gut. It's bittersweet, I love it that the Cubs tied it, but it sucks it had to be at the expense of KW. Really? I can't understand that. I'm upset he's not wearing a Cub uni, but I REALLY want to beat him. Exactly
  16. For the first time all season, I have enjoyed watching this team the last two days. It feels like 2008. I feel really good about the 9th
