Cub teammates' thoughts on trade - Daily Herald (not Bruce)
UMFan83 replied to David's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
We do need it with the way you've been hitting lately Jim :) -
I'm probably jinxing us, but only Bronson Arroyo is between us and a sweep!

Keeping Tabs on the Creature
UMFan83 replied to vance_the_cubs_fan's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
That's not a bad idea at all. He and ward are basically the same player; can't really play defense a lick but can mash a ball every now and then. I doubt it will happen though, Lou loves him some versatility and 13 pitchers (to only use 9). He's not really a counterpart to Ward though. Although Ward is a lefty and Dubois a righty, both are absolutely horrible against lefties and mash righties. -
Did Murt get the shaft already?

I know that they said that they planned on Murton and Patterson to head to AAA. -
Nice recovery Z. It's Paul Bako!
-
Exactly, and we at least give Marshall the opportunity to show that his start in STL was for real.
-
Seriously, Marquis is pitching tomorrow we need to win today.
-
Who said that? BTW, ASB starts Monday. Corey was talking about the POST-ASG rotation in the booth. He'll be starting the Monday after in Arizona. I had a brain fart and thought he meant THIS monday. That's good. Seriously give him all the rest he needs.
-
Which Monday?? Is he pitching the home run derby?
-
When did we get Doobs back? Hes been back for a while now. I've always said we could use a RH power threat off the bench.... Edit: Whoops nevermind, for some reason he hits lefties as well as Jim Edmonds. I forgot about that.
-
Unless they want to have a race to see which one of our injury riddled aces can get hurt first.
-
Delayed response. Sounds like the kinda stuff Jim Hendry used to say about Prior and Wood back in the day.
-
Edmonds has looked pretty bad the last week or so.
-
Lee hasn't Leebombed one in weeks! Now would be perfect timing but I don't see it. Lee's HR totals by month: April 8 May 5 June 2 July 0 He's due for a streak though. Too good not to.
-
Honestly, why even pitch him before the break? Have Zambrano, Lilly, Marquis, Marshall and Dempster finish off the homestand, enjoy a 4 day All Star break, and have him pitch the second game, after Zambrano post ASB. This gives his arm a 12 day rest in between game action, which is almost like a 15 day DL stint. We, unlike the Brewers, are not in a position of having to make games up in the standings at this point. I'm not saying we've come anywhere close to locking up a playoff spot or anything, but we should use this lead to our advantage and keep our new gun fresh before October.

Don't like any of them.

As I said in the Harden thread in Transactions: I've got a hardon for Harden! My fantasy team littered with Cubs fans have already used those 2 names
-
He doesn't even know his own power!
-
What do Pau Gasol and Rich Harden have in common?
-
Sounds very logical.
-
I heard that this trade was actually made in February but they didn't announce it because they didn't want to overshadow baseball's first half of the season
-
I won't even post a source.... ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. Was it BigBird or Peace that let you in on that? Nah, bigbird or peace would have been wrong. :P Major props to you my good friend :)

When was the last time the Cubs swept the Reds? I bet it has been awhile. Reds lineup: Hairston SS Bruce CF Griffey RF Phillips 2B Dunn LF Keppinger 3B Votto 1B Bako C Harang P May 28-30th, 2001....we beat them 6 times in an 8 game span (6-0) The July 2004 thing was a 2 game series. So yeah, it's be a long time. This Cubs team is really good, but there have been a lot worse Reds teams (umm, last years) that managed not to be swept by the Cubs. Has nothing to do with this years team or this particular series. I like the pitching matchups this series, and the fact that we are 33-10 at home this year means we should win 2/3 if not sweet.
