    pierre's doing a good job of handing pie the cf job in 2007.

    just got in. another interesting dusty lineup. should have had aram batting 4th and jones 5th. sure jones has a .934 ops vs. righties, but you still gotta go w/ aram regardless of how he's played so far. good to see him get an hr tonight.
  3. CubfaninCA
    should have sat 1 of the 2. another tactical error by dusty.

    why do you worry about this and why is it good news?
  5. CubfaninCA
    Yes, and this is why I thought that it was absurd at the time. I'm not sure how anyone can measure something like this. Last year, we saw how inept the offense could be when you put low OBP guys in front of an offensive machine like Lee was. How many runs and/or games did it cost the Cubs to have Patterson, Neifi and Macias getting a ton of at bats in the top two spots last year? If Lee had OBP machines in front of him, I don't think a 150 RBI season would have been out of the question. This time around, it's poor OBP guys and no Lee. That's probably worse than poor OBP guys and Lee. But, how do you truly and accurately measure the impact 1 player missing from a line up? I don't think you can. yep, definitely very difficult to measure, as baseball's such a situational. not only does replacing lee with neifi, hairson or mabry hurt, but walker and ramirez suffer as well. considering the impact on walker and ramirez as well, i'd wager the cubs are losing at least a run per game.

    dusty seems to rest lots of starters when zambrano pitches. z's gotta love it.
  7. CubfaninCA
    yes, some guys have sucked, but lee's absence could trim a run or two per game. that's a lot! Ok, now you've just called Lee the most valuable player in the history of baseball. a run or 2 a game=240 runs over an average replacement first baseman, who will most likely get 100 or so rbi+runs in a season... Lee, your 200 RBI, 140 run MVP! um, neifi & hairston are getting lots of pt now, and aram isn't much protection behind walker.

    there you have it. who could we have got. rf's don't grow on trees. I said corner outfielders, or heck anybody with a high OPS. The problem is a lot of fans want to complain about the offense, but also want to call certain players "untouchable". I couldn't believe all the upset people at the Prior/Tejada rumor. Or the Prior/Abreu rumor from last season. I'll say what many of us said going back to before spring training: Everything would have to go right for this to be a really good season. And so far plenty hasn't gone right. i think murton has done pretty good and so has cedeno. tejada would be making a huge difference now though. Also, lots has to go right. Not everything. This team has enough talent to win, but they can't if Prior & Wood sit out a couple more months. Few teams are going to win with 3 rookies pitching.
  9. CubfaninCA
    So they were going to continue to average that for the rest of the season? with lee, maybe. are they not?

    subpar pitching causes bad hitting?
  13. CubfaninCA
    Didn't someone write an article here that said it would cost us 2 or 3 games this year?...turns out it was 2 or 3 games a week. That's ridiculous. The offense was bad with Lee and now its downright terrible. There are a few more factors than just Lee being out. For instance, the Cubs had an amazing BA with RISP prior to Lee's injury - the last few games its been terrible. Walker has cooled off. 5 runs per game is bad?? :shock:

    Didn't someone write an article here that said it would cost us 2 or 3 games this year?...turns out it was 2 or 3 games a week. think i saw that mentioned. lee already had 10 rbis and 11 runs scored and gave walker tons of protection. i guess if the cubs had david ortiz backing him up, maybe it would cost 2-3 games. :)
  15. CubfaninCA
    if i were hendry id start bringin up some propects to see what they can do, it wouldnt hurt anything are there any good 1b, 2b or SS prospects?? They could move Cedeno to 2b, if they have a competent SS prospect. Jones isn't playing too bad actually, and they're not going to sit Pierre.
  16. CubfaninCA
    Hope I'm not stealin Fred's thunder... If my number's are correct, big IF... :) The Cubs scored 71 runs in the first 14 games with Lee and 36 runs in the 14 games since the wrist injury. I'm not counting the LA game where he got hurt. The man's pretty valuable.
  17. CubfaninCA
    wow losing must be exciting. Leave it up to CubfaninCA to brighten up my day. i give more credit to juan pierre and aram. ;)
  18. CubfaninCA
    actually lee's injury is a blessing to hendry fans. they can use his injury as the excuse for why the cubs' offense is so bad, even though the offense sucked w/ lee. it distracts from the pierre and jones deals. uh huh. 5 runs per game before lee went out.
  19. CubfaninCA
    Glass half full, huh? currently, who's worse? howry and eyre have been really good. sorry for "celebrating" that. If you are looking for a fight from me, you won't get one. I'm fine with Howry and Eyre. This team is bad with them. They'd be bad without them. It's your claim that we should all look at this optimistically. Then you proceed to be a hypocrite by screaming how horrible Aramis is. At least I'm consistent. :D for $11 mil he has been awful. considering half the budget's out this team isn't "bad." that's where the "glass half empty" statement comes from. Why do you care how much he gets paid. Hater. :twisted: ? yep, nowhere cares about how much rusch or nef make. :o
  20. CubfaninCA
    lee's injury is a blessing to hendry haters. take an mvp candidate out of any lineup not called the yankees and they're going to really struggle.

    Glass half full, huh? currently, who's worse? howry and eyre have been really good. sorry for "celebrating" that. Jeff Kent and Richie Sexson are both doing worse than Aram in the cleanup spot. I already pointed that out. 3rd worse. my bad
