"Lillibridge isn't the 25th man" really shows how bad this team must be. a World Series representative last year gave over 1100 PA combined to two sub-replacement players; you're just coming off stupid And neither player was named Lillibridge or as bad as Lillibridge. Emmanuel Burriss was twice as bad as Lillibridge's worst season by WAR. But you're right, you have an excellent point about his last name not being Lillibridge. ETA: Not that Giants fans cared, they were all, we got Buster Posey ya'll, who gives a [expletive] about some Burriss [expletive]
This makes no [expletive] sense If you have a good team, the discussion is about the players that actually contribute on a daily basis. We're discussing which of 4-5 candidates ought to sitting on the end of the bench or DFAd. Yeah the backend of the roster was never discussed in '08.
Not as much as I despise Pat Hughes, Go Cubs Go, and Brent Lillibridge Do you, really, tho? This could be like Grace all over again. Are you implying that I don't actually hate Mark Grace? Because if so, I also hate David. And the home plate camera.
You're thinking of the game thread. Hopefully the Louie Andersons in this thread can get the Cubs to put the leadoff man on so we can see some hilarilous LOL FAKE RALLY TIME!!!
Is Sweeney much more likely to be a capable bat than Sappelt at this point? I'd say so. I'd feel better with Sweeney's bat than Sappelt's as a 4th OF'er type. I'd feel better with a guy who can actually hit lefties. Why? They're not doing much better vs. RH'ers either. For me, its about getting the better players out there and while there's only a slight value difference there, Sweeney is a better ballplayer than Sappelt. Because we have 2 left-handed ends of a platoon in our OF, and replacing Sappelt with Sweeney because...I don't know why would leave us with some terrible bat out there every 4 games.

this. Cubs should be 5-4 right now. Shame. Could be not should be. 5-1 lead in the 8th in Atlanta 5-0 lead at home on a damp day today Regardless of how much of a talent disparity there is, major league teams SHOULD win these games. And there will be games where we have no business winning this year. Like say down 3-0 on a cold night with the wind blowing in?
berardini was a walk-on that completed his degree. he's never played, but can transfer somewhere and play immediately because he has another year of eligibility. if he can get a grad degree paid for by going to a mid-major and playing, that would be awesome for him. Fair enough. He shouldn't count. So Sandi Marcius doesn't count either? I just want to get thejudgement on it now before people accuse Painter later on down the road. You are the judge and jury on these matters, correct? If anyone would know...
