    LaHair lulls them to sleep with a 14 pitch at bat and Juan Pierre drops an easy flyball. Too funny.

    I haven't seen the play, but a friend said it would have been a routine grounder if Barney wasn't playing up the middle. I know there have been a lot of plays in the Cubs favor, but when the opposing player hits away from the shift, it seems to be a scoring play. Personally, I have a hard time believing Molina pulls that ball that much, especially late in the game with runners on base. Anyway, based on in-game decisions by Sveum, I sure hope the front office can pick young talent better than they picked the manager. The shifts have saved the Cubs a lot more runs than they've cost them. Complain about all Hothe outs freely given up, not the ones he's actually saved through efficient defense and baserunning. I said a lot of plays have went in the Cubs favor which means I understand it is working.

    Was it about GRINDERS? I think it was the one about Mike Caruso's 2 run homer in a game at Wrigley. I think the Sox swept that series.

    On Fox Sports Midwest Cards post-game, Chris Duncan just called the Cubs shortstop, Sterling Castro. They are ripping Sveum for calling on Castro to bunt though.
  6. Ballgame64
    I totally agree.

    The Good - A win A lot of baserunners Terrific work from Camp and Dolis. The bad - Sveum's bunting madness
  8. Ballgame64
    Was that the 4th strikeout with a runner on third with less than 2 outs? Terrible.
  9. Ballgame64
    Or maybe the upper management likes his sac bunting? Don't say sad things like that. After the idiotic decision to have Stewart bunt in the same situation the other night, what is a fan to think? :-k Now he is doing it with Mather with slow-ass Geo Soto on 2nd base. Just because the Cardinals screwed up doesn't make the decision any better.

    Why is Campana playing so deep for Skip Schumaker?
  11. Ballgame64
    It just goes to figure that the night the Cubs offense scores for Dempster he has his worse outing of the year.
  12. Ballgame64
    Regardless of any of the pitching stats people want to use, Chris Volstad is simply a losing pitcher.
  13. Ballgame64
    Back to the "regular" line-up for today's game. DeJesus - RF Campana - CF Castro - SS LaHair - 1B Soriano - LF Stewart - 3B Soto - C Barney - 2B Volstad - P
  14. Ballgame64
    When will Sveum, Hoyer and Theo decide it is time to try someone else at 2B? They are getting next to nothing on offense from Barney and the DFA DeWitt.
  15. Ballgame64
    DeJesus - RF Campana - CF Castro - SS LaHair - 1B Soriano - LF Mather - 3B Barney - 2B Castillo - C Travis Wood - P How long before a middle infielder is brought up from Iowa to see if the Cubs can get some offense from second base?
  16. Ballgame64
    It would be nice for Geo to plate a run or two here.
  17. Ballgame64
    Of course it's not over yet, but a four run hole is tough for this offense to overcome especially considering the Phillies are just as likely to score a few more on Volstad and the bullpen.
  18. Ballgame64
    Did the "baseball gods" walk Nix?
  19. Ballgame64
    Unlucky or not, I've seen enough of Volstad. At some point you have to stop the bleeding and he is incapable of doing that.
  20. Ballgame64
    If Sveum believed in double play positioning, the Cubs might have been out of this inning already.
  21. Ballgame64
    As Barney's average and OBP keep falling, I keep wondering how long the front office is going to put up with a impatient middle infielder with no power nor speed.
  22. Ballgame64
    Starlin Castro is the 4th youngest player in MLB and 2nd youngest in the NL. He'd be the 8th youngest player in AAA. I wonder if @thekapman realizes this since he is advocating moving Castro to another position.
  23. Ballgame64
    Another frustrating loss but Castro keeps hitting and LaHair continues to be a pleasant surprise. Now the first place Cardinals come to town. They haven't lost a series yet and the Cubs haven't won a series. Let's hope that changes.
  24. Ballgame64
    Well...if anyone can hit a home run today, this would be a good time for it Mr. Stewart.
  25. Ballgame64
    Castro sure is fun to watch. Sure would have been nice to score one a couple of innings ago.
