Wow that was majestic. Have fun back in colorados system -
Seriously I think soriano would have had to play 2b if theriot left the game. Only ppl on bench are hill and hoff.

Who would have taken over at ss if theriot had to leave?

Now how many games do you think the Cubs win this year?
UMFan83 replied to cubswin2009's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
86 wins would be terrible considering what this team is worth. Agreed. But playing at a 86 win pace over 15 games is by no means a terrible start. -
Now Aaron miles I will hate on after 16 games. Has the guy had one good ab al year. He needs to be dfa'd and have jim hendry apologize for making such a dumb decision.

Who is throwing in pen for cubs?

how is this a terrible start? 8-7 is not great but it's not at all terrible. It's an 86 win pace. -
we'll find out in 146 games! What has this Cubs team shown that shows they can be a great team this year? Lee is aging fast, Soto still can't hit, our bullpen is a complete epic failure, our rotation isn't as good as last year, Milton Bradley was a horrid signing thus far, Mike Fontenot and Ryan Theriot are sub-par, our bench is anorexic, etc. 16 games and we at worst a .500 team after today. If you don't think that they are capable of much more you will at some point this season. I just think this team has too many holes. Much more than last year. There are holes but the core of this team is still there. And as long as we are somewhat competitive we have the resources to fix those holes in season. It's hard to evaluate a team when they are playing like this since everything seems like a negative. But since the cubs haven't played particularly well at all this season you have to wait well more than 16 games to judge this team.

I'm assuming at some point our luck with risps will change right?

I prefer someone other than soriano in the 3 spot

Nice job theriot!

We haven't had a lead since Tuesday.

Probably our 3 best overall players won't be in this game. I'm gonna guess Marmol and Ramirez are back by midweek, and who knows when Bradley will be back.

Ramirez Leaves Game with Left Calf Strain
UMFan83 replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
You mean for the fraction of the season that Ramirez will probably be out I intended if both Ramirez and Brasdley have to miss any amount of time. Bradley really needs to take some DL time if hes going to get better. Well that's not going to happen since he PH tonight and again reset his DL timeline. -
Well a pitcher does require a lot of body parts working in motion in order to throw 95 miles an hour with pinpoint control. If one piece isn't working, it can mess up everything else. same goes for a quarterback, but they play hurt. They also get pulverized by 280 lb. monsters every Sunday. You can throw a football without the same zip and pull it off by changing the gameplan. A 95 MPH pitcher cannot survive throwing 78 MPH because he can't get a full leg kick to get full power on his pitches.

Let's win the next two like last weekend.

Gathright better not be running...the game will be over. games already over. It's 50/51 over

Ironically, they are pitching around Badley to get to our no HR hitting leadoff hitter.
