  1. There goes Dempsters ERA Here comes our long reliever to surely get 2 outs and then leave the game.
  2. Yeah cause normally Z and Lee are terrible. :roll: No but Z's ERA has risen every year and his ERA last year was around 4. Lee had like 10 HRs in April and hit over .300. I know I'm being my usual irrational self, but c'mon this lead was built on some solid unexpected performances that are leveling out now. Yep we're done.............. hopefully we can stay ahead of the Stro's Haha, you act like no team has ever blew a big lead in June.* *note: I am not implying the Cubs are going to blow their lead. In fact, rational UMFan knows the Cubs will be fine
  3. Maybe this will teach Lou a lesson that... DEMPSTER WAS A FREAKING CLOSER WHO AVERAGED LIKE 80 IP THE LAST THREE SEASONS AND DOESNT NEED TO TRY TO PITCH COMPLETE GAMES SO THAT HE CAN WEAR OUT HIS ARM IN JUNE
  4. Are you saying we should let them keep scoring until the storm comes and the game is cancelled? Highly doubt they would call a game where one team is winning handily. If its 1-0 or 2-0 and its raining for 3 hours, then fine. But 4-0 with 2 on and 1 out in the third, they are going to give them every opportunity to play 5.

  6. Remember in April and May when we were amazed at how well Dempster, Zambrano, Lee, Soto, Cedeno, etc were playing. Well umm tide just might be turning.
  7. Xanax, Vicondin or good old fashion drinking to get over this one?
  8. C- 3/10 Oh come on, its getting rave reviews around my office.
  9. Wonder if Sportscenter will break into his ABs with a runner on first as he is on pace to break the record for most GIDPs in a season, which is 36.
  10. Again, this nickname should be used to refer to Lee in reference to his rally killing until he gets good again. "Control+Alt+DLee"
  11. Great, another situation to ruin for Control+Alt+DLee
  12. I'm still waiting for the sparks to fly from our Cubbie bats.
  13. Fools? Ultimately, theres only one person in charge of that :)
  14. really? the first place, best record in baseball 2008 cubs remind you of the 96-loss 2006 cubs? sorry, dudes, but it is really, really hard to stomach these threads. try enjoying the season a bit. He's just saying he gets a weird feeling right now. Haven't you ever gotten a creepy feeling in real life where you feel like something is wrong even though nothing is?
  15. Soto still .225/.304/.391/.695 in his last 43 games (since May 5th)
  16. lol that didn't take long hahahah he thought i was serious Are you sure your not? The pessimism beast inside of me is telling me the same thing. I just don't have enough balls to say it.
  17. I'm firmly in the camp that believes that Beasley will be better for the next 2-3 years, but Rose will have the better career when all is said and done. However, Beasley's biggest downside is his height. Do not forget that Tyrus was about 6'8 after he was taken after his Frosh year, and now stands around 6'10 1/2 presently. Luol Deng had a similar albeit smaller increase as well.
  18. What are the eligible dates for our players to come off the DL. I think this is correct: Soriano: Any time (0 days left) Reed: 7/3 @ SF (6 days) Zambrano: 7/4 @ STL (7 days)
  19. It just scares me that this is our RH bench when Reed is starting Cedeno Blanco I understand the roster crunch. It would be a lot easier if Fontenot played SS, so we could just ship Cedeno off and replace him with someone.
