    Nicely settled in. Looks like we may have lost a chance to get some runs.
  2. UMFan83
    The turf is going to kill us this series with our lack of range on the IF, especially SS.
  3. UMFan83
    Now Burnett will settle in.
  4. UMFan83
    Man that's about as bad as you can be without giving up a run. 4 base runners, 3 walks, 32 pitches, 0 runs.
  5. UMFan83
    Damn, I have a feeling Soto is going to get owned here...
  6. UMFan83
    He sucked when he was up in the big leagues So the Blue Jays Felix Pie?
  7. UMFan83
    1-0 Cu- oh wait Theriot ran himself out of the inning
  8. UMFan83
    It looks like its going to take a turn through the order before we figure Burnett out.

    There's really no point in acquiring a LF for 6 weeks unless you have a spot for them after 6 weeks.

    They are saying that he shouldn't cheer when the team he plays for wins games? I don't get it. I hope people realize that rivalries mean almost nothing to the actual players. Also, just knowing Edmonds' personality the little that I do, I don't think he really cares all that much what casual fans think of him. The die hard Cardinals fans are smart enough to realize why he is acting the way he is..

    They probably have developed my philosophy regarding Jim Edmonds. I will accept any contributions he makes, and I will hope for him to do well for the sake of the Cubs, but I just can't like the guy. Maybe that will change in time as well, because my previous stance was to boo him at all costs and despise any contribution he makes. It actually irritates me to completely change my stance on someone based on their performance. I hate knowing that the only reason I like my favorite players is because they play baseball exceptionally well. I guess, being that I don't know any of them personally, thats how it goes, but I still want to pretend that its not the case, and want to keep telling myself I hate Edmonds because he's kind of a jerk.

    Most years, I would hesitate. But this year it seems obvious that we can be 1-2 pieces away from being a juggernaut. As long as its not for a 39 year old pitcher having a flukishly good year, I would do it. This needs to end now.
  13. UMFan83
    Why wouldn't Lou put Theriot in his normal number 2 spot?
  14. UMFan83
    Cubs.com Should be interesting. Toronto series doesn't look good on paper but I think we can get atleast one and hopefully 2. Marquis v. Hallladay - :-& What is it? Gallagher vs. Burnett Marquis vs. Halladay Lilly vs. Litsch Ughhhh.... The second game of the TB series looks awesome though: Zambrano vs. Kazmir

    ^^ I hate you, I was triumphantly coming over here to post that
  17. UMFan83
    That's very interesting. When you see the Cubs being measured in that regard, thats certainly something to smile about!
  18. UMFan83
    I agree, but if thats really the case. If we still win 63% of our games, where does the benefit of having Soriano fit in? If we 'don't miss a beat' with him out for 1/6 of the season, why would we ever miss him? I think we will play slightly over .500 ball for his time out. 6 weeks from today would be 35 games missed (luckily there are 4 off days and the All Star break during those 6 weeks meaning that literally 1 of those 6 weeks will not contain baseball). I think we go something like 19-16 during those 35 games, leaving us with a 61-40 record when he returns.
  19. UMFan83
    Well I am going to the game today... Record at games this year: 2-3 Record not at games this year: 26-5 Sorry guys, I won a contest at work and will be in the rooftops. Maybe not being physically in Wrigley will help.
  20. UMFan83
    It's that annoying ESPN morning radio guy and his legions of fans
  21. UMFan83
    Your game thread got Soriano hurt last night you jerk
  22. UMFan83
    Ughhh my roommate who is a Cardnials fan just came home and I told him about Soriano's injury which he celebrated by pumping his fist and saying "YESSSSSSSS"
  23. UMFan83
    Complete game today, regret tomorrow. (September)
  24. UMFan83
    You know whats (not) funny. Literally one batter before Soriano's AB, Pat and Ron were talking about the amazing number of injuries to big named players lately. Wainwright Pujols Glavine C. Jones etc etc
  25. UMFan83
    I'm reading on medical sites that things like this are 4-6 weeks in a cast and then anywhere from 2-4 weeks of rehab to regain strength. It might 6-10 weeks before he returns. So anywhere from Late July to Late August
